Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning - 9.2

Very weird evening, Ate at 5 and went to bed at 7 but found that I had left my mobile downstairs so went to get it. Got to the last 2 steps of the stairs and felt unwell. Decided to sit down on the stairs for a few minutes. 45 minutes later I woke up ringing wet. Went to my study, got the mobile and ate 3 JB's. Went back upstairs and had to change my sodden pyjamas. and them went to sleep. Very strange.
 
@Snowwy happy birthday!

And may I say you don’t look a day over 69!
 
4.2 and really enjoying new eating habits, when you have eaten c**p for years fresh food tastes so good
 
A 5.6 again & again this morning.

Happy birthday @Snowwy

Amen to that!
 
5.6 this morning. Ate really mindfully yesterday with nothing even vaguely carby - steak and eggs with a total failure of a swede and spinach fritter for breakfast, a handful of macadamia nuts, olives, little portion of cheese for lunch snack and then cold roast beef salad thing for late supper (finish work at 8 so don’t want anything too heavy) and the results in my BG are obvious. Especially after the spike yesterday.

Up early to put the rubbish out this morning after forgetting to do so last week and hoping I can get through to Three this morning without too much effort so that I can tell them the delivery I’ve been told arrived yesterday simply didn’t. I’ve got two addresses they deliver to and it’s not at either even though DPD have apparently confirmed delivery.

And then work until 8pm again today. And it’ll be a long day. Glad I’ve got Masterchef to look forward to this evening! Don’t know if anyone else is watching it but my money is on Bart. Or Santosh. Or Alex.

Oh, speaking of telly does anyone have any recommendations of things on AppleTV which are worth watching? I’m watching The Morning Show and Tehran but keen to have other recommendations.

With my cooking skills I can prove it’s perfectly possible to make good ingredients taste awful lol
 
@Michael12421 that sounds disconcerting to say the least. Hopefully you have no repeat of the experience.
 
@rebrascora It will get better in time. Meanwhile know that we’re all here rooting for you. xx
 
@ColinUK

Re DPD, I found that it worked when I shouted at someone on the phone. Apparently my father in law had signed for my shiny new iMac. I told them my fil is DEAD, and their driver was to get round to where he dropped it off, pick it up and bring it to me. This he did!

My money is on Bart and has been from the first skills test. Marcus & Monica have an affinity for chefs like Bart - he’s incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and has a great feel. (I’ll probably be wrong)

The only thing I’ve watched on Apple TV+ is Charlie & Ewan taking the long way up. I won’t pay for it when the free trial ends. I’m also trying the free trial of News+ but that’s rubbish too. I was hoping to save the Times digital sub but you can’t read it as a newspaper, you only get access to articles otherwise blocked by the free aggregation service.

Forgot that Charlie and Ewan are on there... I’ll look that up.
It’s a free trial. New phone 🙂

I think it’s Barts to lose really but Alex does have that really winning smile. Santosh is not as sharp with presentation and Philly doesn’t quite have the edge that Bart has I think. Still, it’ll be close that’s for sure.
 
Good morning. After spikes each time i ate testerday, a steady decline to 4.1 on waking, 5.3 before breakfast. 3 more days to go, i'm shattered.
@Snowwy Happy Birthday, have a lovely day.
@Michael12421, i hope you are ok!!
@rebrascora, keep strong, we are here if you need us.
Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all and 5.6 for me.

Sounds s bit damp out there. I hope it clears up s bit later as I'm going to hospital this afternoon for a venesection. It's only a ten minute walk but I don't fancy sitting there in sodden clothes.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all,5.9 here, was having one of those dreams when the alarm went off, where everyone was rushing around. Was glad to wake up for a rest.
Happy birthday, @Snowwy , have a great day. A ‘significant' birthday theses days is one that bumps you into the next category up for the vaccine. I’ve got one coming up in early January!

Bart has been a front runner from the off, @ColinUK, and I like him, but I’ve seen strong candidates have a last minute wobble, Santosh and Alex are very strong, and Philly has been improving so much through the past couple of rounds, it’s anybody's really.

Good luck, @khskel, I hope the sun shines for you, or at least that the interminable rain stops!
 
Well I saw it was @Snowwy 's birthday so had to pop in again to wish you a very happy birthday! I hope you have a lovely day!

Me? Increased Tresiba a few days ago due to rising throughout the day, this morning woke to 4.2 and had 3 glucose tabs, an hour later 3.7! WTF? I ate 3 digestives at bedtime last night as was 5.8 but if I take any less basal then I have higher readings in the afternoons, feeling slightly defeated I can tell you xx
 
Morning all. A much more Eggy like 6.2, that’ll be the through the night munchies I had. Not something I usually do but couldn’t sleep and got up at 1am to read, then I felt hungry. You know how the rest goes, so actually surprised it’s only 6.2.
Happy Big Birthday @Snowwy you must have a strong post person! Have a great day. 🙂
@Bloden congrats again on another itchy neck! 😛
@ColinUK Bart has been my favourite from the start but I do have a soft spot for Santosh. I’m so glad Jono has left, could not take to him at all. Caviar ice cream! Yuk! I don’t mind who wins now he’s gone.
Have a great day, the weather is wet and wild up here and we have to venture into town. :(
