Group 7-day waking average?

Is that a round tower @HenryBennett ?

It is. Although it’s quite close by I’ve never been to it. You can only walk there from various other points. We’re going to park at the Somme Centre (museum) walk to the tower and then down to the coast. My pal is from Ards and is an experienced walker.
 
Morning all. 6.2 for me this morning after a day yesterday where the libre graph looked more like a heart monitor! Increased basal by half a unit last night so will see how that goes.
Congratulations @eggyg on your HS. I hope you're starting to feel better.
Enjoy your walk @HenryBennett, hope the weather stays dry for you
 
Morning all, 5.3 here when I first woke up an hour ago, (graunching noises from the hydraulics on our local bin lorry) but I went back to sleep and now I'm 6.7. Another horrible cold foggy morning.

G'day all. Dank foggy but bright here in Sale. Mum's fine, slept thru yay and is in fact still snoring. She's sleeping later and later. My son was shocked at how she's gone downhill since he last saw her but it's all part of the process. I just have to keep her going as long as possible and as comfortable as possible. I need to be more tactile, she likes hugs. Killer for somebody like me. Good grief. 😳

No reading from me because I'm on another bender. Not sure why. Will get back on track asap. Colin when you win the Lotto on Wednesday can I have a sub? 😛

If I win euromillions on any Wednesday I’ll split the winnings with you.

It’s drawn Tuesday and Friday! 🙂

@eggyg Congrats on the HS!

6.0 on the nose for me which I’m quite pleased with.

Caught up with the folks yesterday, on Google meets for about 3 hours rather than in person, and it was lovely. And just awarded myself a cheeky day off work today so I’m going to wrap up warm and go for a wander. Nothing too ridiculous so certainly not a 15 mile trek but maybe a stroll through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.

I’ll probably end up not getting dressed and lounging on the sofa catching up on something on the box!

8.4 for me this morning after a naughty carb fest yesterday to celebrate my sister's birthday. Lamb dinner with a Yorkshire pudding and 4 (yes FOUR) roast potatoes! To be fair the 4th one was an hour later when my BG was 4.2 because I over egged the insulin and I have to say it tasted nicer than the other 3 and Yorkie put together. Why do I enjoy picking at leftovers so much!
Anyway, I needed a correction of 1.5 units at bedtime and even then my levels hovered around 10 all night and then dropped into the 8s just before I woke up despite no evening Levemir.

I love your roast potato naughtiness
 
Congrats @eggyg on your House Special, hope you have many more. 🙂

4.6 for me this morning.

Really pleased with a 5.1 for me at 05:57 🙂

Beautiful clear morning at home and -3.0 when we set off for school. Half a mile down the road and we dropped off the Downs into dense fog in the Pang Valley. Thick freezing fog all the way to school but it had lifted by the time I headed home.

Had my eye check at the hospital yesterday (first one). Better than I expected. The drops sting a bit but it soon wears off. Sun glasses for the afternoon and couldn't see close up so no work for me - spent the afternoon in front of the TV before doing a workout on the exercise bike. I set a big personal best on the bike on Sunday but yesterday my legs felt like lead and it was a real struggle. One of those days when you feel that you should get credit just for getting on the bike in the first place!

Booked in for my three month post diagnosis HbA1C next Wednesday and a pneumococcal jab as well. Not had one of those before. In some ways I'm looking forward to the HbA1C and in other ways I'm dreading it. It will be good to see what progress I have made but dreading it in case the answer is none. Excitement and trepidation rolled into one
 
6.1 for me this morning.
Nothing exciting planned just more manure deliveries for me today. Heading to a community garden in Newcastle which is rather out of my delivery area but news of the quality product my beasties produce 😉 has spread and they are keen to try some and I like the idea of supporting inner city food production. Just hope I can avoid the worst of the traffic and find my way there OK.

Many congratulations @eggyg. I am so surprised that your readings have been better than usual since your hospital visit. I assumed with your restricted diet and medication and less activity for a few days things would go haywire, but you seem to have been managing it brilliantly! Well done!

@Michael12421. Hope you knocked a unit off that Toujeo this morning. Don't want to hear that you have had another nasty incident. Please do be careful and test lots.

@Anitram There is no justice when you can have bread and chips for dinner and still wake up so close to an HS! 😉
Seriously though I am so pleased you are able to indulge occasionally and see no ill effect.... even if I am a bit jealous! 😳

After a good day yesterday with readings between 6 to 9 i had a bad night. Felt ill at about 4am with an upset stomach and woke with a reading of 11. Still feeling rubbish and now its gone up to 14. Grumpy x

Oh dear. Sorry you don't feel well. Presumably you know "Sick Day" rules ie. Drinking plenty of fluids and more frequent testing and increasing insulin as necessary. Do you have plenty of ketone test strips?
