Group 7-day waking average?

Morning 6.7 today and first day of my isolation. So shall I clean or shall I clean - I think I’ll do some cleaning, woohoo!!
@Kaylz good on you luv, great to see your name pop up xx
@eggyg looks like you’re having to relearn with your different readings but you’re coping remarkably well with all the changes you’re having to deal with.
@Bloden congrats on your HS
Have a good day all x
 
BG 4.3 before breakfast also down 2lb's by just reducing carbs still eating well.
 
Thank you @ColinUK @Snowwy and @SueEK feeling a bit more chipper today, must've been writing out the Christmas cards yesterday that did it! If anyone else from here that knows me well would like one please feel free to send a PM with your address, all ones for posting are from the forum! lol

A 5.8 for me at 05:56. School breaks up at lunchtime so my last early morning start until the New Year. However, I have to be at the surgery at 08:05 tomorrow morning for my pneumococcal vaccination and my three month post diagnosis HbA1c. Fingers crossed....

A very nice morning first thing in West Berks although we have just had a really heavy shower. Blue skies again now so looks like being one of those days where things change rapidly.
 
09:53 BS 8.4 Phew! & wiping brow emoji! As FINALLY went to bed extremely late, well after midnight, ate & then fell asleep more or less straight away & completely forgot to bolus anything at all so, only my midnight basal kept me in single figures this morning! 😳o_O Actually tried sleeping but, my stomach was so empty that I HAD to eat something & had cheese, seeded crackers & red onion chutney, only a couple of teaspoons thought as that’s all that was left at the bottom of the jar , all washed down with a weak raspberry & lemon cordial!😛

I kept forgetting to eat yesterday as I was so frustratingly distracted all day playing golf trying to achieve all my challenges on this last week of the season: if I don’t get them all, a new set of challenges will replace them next week at the start of a new season; only stopped to eat when my stomach rumbles were SO loud & volcanically seismic that it affected my concentration when hitting the ball! 😱🙄😳 Finally gave up & went to bed & I have 5 days left to complete my challenges!🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Correction bolus +2 already in & I’ll cook breakfast of eggs, which I’m getting better at doing sunny side up: I’m TERRIBLE at cracking eggs & either smash it too hard that breaks the yolk, not to mention getting shell in the pan, or not hard enough; then, I find it very hard to stop them from sticking in the non stick frying pan without any oil in it as I dry fry everything with no oil! But, practice makes perfect & they’re getting better! :D😉
 
Morning another 12 "sighs"
Frustratjng as i now am going up during the night, previously it was dropping.
Did anyone else watch the panorama documentry on how they developed the oxford astra zenica vaccine. I thought it was excellent. My daughter is a scientist at kings college and it gave me an insight into what goes on.
 
Morning all, 7.5 @ 5.27am. I'm listening to carols on YouTube, very festive. Only ten more sleeps? Really? Good grief.

@Kaylz so glad you are back. I'd like a card, I luvs cards.
@eggyg I hope it all slots into place soon and becomes second nature to eat that way.
@Bloden Congratulations on your HS
@Maca44 Congratulations on your weight loss. 🙂
@rebrascora Best wishes for the rest of your life, I hope it's tiptop and longlasting.

Have a good Tuesday everybody... Mum's had a text from the doc, been offered a jab, but it's in stages. Hassles, they'd have to come here then...
 
@Kaylz I agree, it is so good to see you back and even better if you can make it a regular occurrence. It's not the same without you.
 
@Ditto and everyone else who has posted well wishes over the past few days... Many thanks for your support. Feeling pretty fragile today but I have kept busy and worked hard and it will get easier. I know there will be happier times ahead and my old confidence will return.
 
@Inamuddle hang in there it will come under control.
Missed the TV programme but so grateful that there are people out there fighting our corner in trying to beat this virus!

Blessings Snowwy
 
@Lanny, you asked if Helen’s Tower is round and I incorrectly said yes. It isn’t.

2 hrs 40 mins to walk just over 7 miles from Helen’s Tower to Helen’s Bay.
 
Morning all,
Well the big day has arrived with a 6.0.
Grateful to He who grants life for sustaining me thus far...
I thought I would share what arrived through the letterbox and also show the 'man' behind the snowman!
Have a blessed day everyone

Morning all a elevated 8.4 but much better morning today, yesterday was a roller coaster, at 1 point I was 17.3, my infusion set had blocked for the first time ever, strange thing was I didn’t feel hyper, I did a quick jab with my spare pen which got me right until I got home from work.
sensor change day so another muddled few hours coming up... have a good day everyone
