Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A 6.2 for me this morning following on from a 5.8 yesterday.

Horrible weekend for me. I had a high reading on Friday morning (7.3) which came down during the day. I was sat down watching Corrie and having a glass of wine when I keeled over. The wife had recently invested in a blood ox meter and on checking my stats my O2 level was 83%. I came round with two paramedics running an ECG on me. Blue lighted into hospital in Reading. Blood tests and another ECG revealed nothing. Then another round of blood tests followed by a chest x-ray. I was then informed that I had a suspected herniated diaphragm and if confirmed would be blue lighted to Oxford as the surgery was too involved to be performed in Reading. Then examined by the surgical team at 07:45 and informed that their consultant started at 08:00 and would review. Then informed that I didn't have a herniated diaphragm and that it was being put down as an "unexplained incident" and I could go home. No sleep and a great deal of stress. Trying to get through to the surgery today to try and discuss with my GP.

Let's hope the rest of this week gets better!

Really not sure why I am liking your post except your brutal honesty and creative writing!
I gasped when I read that you had eaten a second one! Just picking myself up off the floor after reading on and realising that it didn't stop there! Can't believe your reading is only 8.1!! Was going to say jammy, but more mincey! XX
Hope you are able to get out for a good long walk today in your sack cloth and ashes.... You bad boy!! 😉:D

Although it’s raining all day today I’m going to head out for a walk to Selfridges and see what bargains I can find in the food hall.
I’m having Christmas lunch with my support bubble mate and need some bits and boobs.
 
Bobs! Bits and bobs!

Oh Goodness! So sorry to read this! That is scary!
Hope you are feeling better now. You have been doing so well with your diabetes management, diet and increased exercise, this must be a real blow to your feeling of wellbeing, especially when it is unexplained. Please take it easy and keep us posted with your progress. Do you feel unwell at all now or just confidence knocked and stressed obviously?
 
@adrian1der all rather frightening. I hope you can get through to your GP and that he can reassure you.
 
Thanks all. I felt a bit off colour on Friday and no idea how I felt on Saturday. No sleep!

Felt OK yesterday. Not done any exercise - a few days rest might be in order! OK today as well. I'll keep you posted. Incidentally my wife wondered if I was having a hypo and did my BG and got 7.8. No idea if the high readings where linked. Maybe I was going down with something?

Morning all. 7.2 for me today. Was expecting a message via the UCLH app to cancel my procedure, woke up to a message telling me to be there at 7am, so looks like it is going ahead, oh well so be it! Won’t be posting tomorrow morning as will need to leave the house at 4.45am though am thinking the roads will be much quieter than usual.
Raining yet again this morning, doesn’t seem to have stopped for days and so dark but nice and cosy indoors.
Misty (our dog) is going for a sleepover at my daughters tonight so hope she’s ready for another dog on her bed, I wouldn’t be surprised if my SIL takes himself off to one of the kids bedrooms to get a good nights sleep lol.
Anyhow, stay well everyone x

Oh my goodness, that’s sounds so scary, especially when you don’t know why it happened. Really hope you are feeling better and that you get some answers. Keep in touch and let us know how you are x

If you are in sensors Paul and in automode doesn’t the 780 sort this for you? Or does it take a bit of time to kick in.
