Group 7-day waking average?

@freesia I know of someone that's removing their 3 children from their schools today apparently so they'll b ok for Christmas, don't see the point myself if they've been attending up until now though

Happy Birthday to your eldest daughter 🙂 xx
Not heard of that before! I feel sorry for the kids, they've missed so much of their education this year it will be hard to catch up.x

These specific kids have missed so much of school since they reached school age, period! They are permanently off with "illness"! xx
 
@KARNAK Ted what have you done that you need an endoscopy for dental work?!
Not for dental work Colin dentist is working with my GP lots of ulcers in my mouth
and several on my tongue, been going on for over a year they`ve decided to sort
it out at long last.

The Endoscopy is to make sure my throat/Oesophagus isn`t getting worse,
Barratts Oesophagus look it up continual pain controlled by medication in the
Gullet down to the stomach plus Hiatus Hernia where it meets the stomach.
Nothing to do with D had it over 30 years, fun isn`t it.
 
02:05 BS 4.1! 😱 EEEEK! I REALLY don’t like waking in the 4’s!o_O Quick munch of a JB, 10 minutes wait before half an oatcake: dithered with maybe a whole one & went with just half as it was the last half of a sealed pack of 7 & didn’t open another pack; 4 sealed packs in each box of Nairns Fine Oatcakes!🙄 Then tested twice to make sure I was 5 & above: just about BS 5 at 02:21; started breakfast & just in oven for 30 to 40 minutes & tested again 02:58 BS 6.2 so, oatcake has definitely kicked in & I’m not going lower!🙂 Phew! Wiping brow emoji!

I will try & run my levels a bit higher the next few days at least because I’m now going lower & not feeling it; not a good sign! 🙄o_O

just waiting on breakfast, must keep a close eye on the clock so I don’t burn it, of shepherds pie with mashed potato, I’m afraid, as I’m down to 1 last micro steam bag of broccoli rice: didn’t get any 2 weeks in a row from tesco & ordered mashed potato, just in case, with this week’s shop on Monday; good thing I did as yet again no broccoli rice! 😡 Mind you I haven’t yet tried it as a topping on shepherds pie with beef, I know the purist’s would say that’s a cottage pie, but, it worked really well with chicken!🙄

An extremely early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

A bit of a frazzled Lanny, first thing, but, now settled nicely waiting for breakfast! o_O🙂:D😉
 
An early start today and as I predicted yesterday a elevated 11.2 this morning and no reason for it, it was slowly rising all night for some reason, I ate a more or less carb free cheese and ham omelette for dinner, anyway bolus given and already it’s dropping back into line.
Crazy disease lol.
Have a wonderful day everyone!!
 
6.7 today. Got to run, have a good day x
 
Morning

5.1 for me. 🙂

Morning. 7.3 this morning
 
Morning all, 4.4 here. Busy day today, have to go and look after the horse I've got on loan, last day, as the riding school can open for lessons again from today. Then yesterday I had a surprise call from the HCA at the surgery saying would I like to arrange blood tests, foot tickling and BP, ahead of my annual review which is due in January. (I’m guessing that willl be a telephone appt). So I said, yes, and she said, How about tomorrow? So I’m going in this afternoon. I wonder if they’re trying to get ahead of themselves just in case they’re busy doing Covid vaccinations in the future.
 
Morning all. 😛 4.8 here.

Ignore me if you’re already aware of this @Paulbreen - I find an omelette raises my bg, especially if eaten as part of a low- or no-carb meal. It’s the lone protein effect - it gets converted into glucose, especially if not much carb is eaten. That’s probably why your BG rose slowly overnight.
 
Good morning. 5.6 today. Started feeling a bit more myself yesterday and even did a bit of light housework. Was then shattered. Introduced some fish into my bland diet yesterday. Not sure what’s on the menu today but I’ve got my thinking cap on. Have a wonderful Wednesday all. 🙂
 
Super down about this morning 11.5 reading. Yesterday was day 3 of my new low carb plan
Super devastated by this, on the day I'm at the doctors too.

Attached is yesterday's food..

Thanks @Bloden, I hadn’t noticed that before to be honest, I’m not eating omelette that often, maybe once a month or so. Are you having a bolus if you have an omelette?
I’ll keep a closer eye on it next time I have one, thanks again for the heads up

Sorry to jump in here but I know @rebrascora is right into her omelettes and sure she boluses for them so she may be able to advise, I eat 2 a week but always have potatoes too 😳 so no experience without xx
 
Morning and 4.2 🙂

Lol no need to be sorry, any advice and experience is always welcome, I’m always learning about this disease @Kaylz
 
A 5.7 for me today at 06:05. My son is back at school and I'm on the early starts again! Beautiful sunrise in West Berks this morning on the drive in.
