Group 7-day waking average?

A 6.3 this morning but I didn’t want to wake up or get out of bed. Way too much sugary/carby stuff. Enjoy your Sunday folks.
 
Morning all,
Along with @HenryBennett a 6.3... The Christmas food holding levels up for me.
Storm Bella very vocal down here which doesn't help my sleep patterns which is light at the best of times.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning. Up at a more civilised hour. A higher than lately 6.8. Need to get some exercise. Just about hauled our Christmas butts off the sofa yesterday, after a late lunch, to go out for a walk, when the heavens opened. Our butts were firmly planted back down! It was pretty wild and wet all through the night, seems a bit quieter now, sleet forecast but we are definitely going out sometime today. I’d forgotten it was Sunday until @HenryBennett mentioned it. It’s that time of the year when we don’t have a clue what day of the week it is! Have a good day whatever day it is! 🙂
 
5.5 this morning, after a correction in the night. Underestimate of the carbs in that extra slice of cake. I should get quite good at it by the end of the cake as I made a nice big one this year.
Love it, and the marzipan, and the icing.

The storm has passed, but it is still wet and windy. It looks like another good day to do stuff. I spent yesterday making a start on a large scarecrow for my brother’s 70th birthday present. There will be a delay in getting it to him now but I shall send a photo of Gilbert II and look after him until we can meet again.

I hope you have a better day today @Inamuddle . Well worth starting a separate thread if you have any specific questions, as well as being on here. The records you are keeping in preparation for your next appointment with your team will be very useful in making decisions. I know I found the switch to a split Levemir basal insulin was the most flexible and effective for me on MDI.

I haven’t heard from @KARNAK for a while now. It will be great to hear from you Ted.
 
4.7 but sleep poor due to wind, I have to stop eating sprouts, bad storm wasn't it.
 
Not sure Ted will agree to me writing this but seen as your enquiring he is well but has stopped posting because of the rudeness and bullying towards people from some members and when he tried to express his feelings it was deleted
 
. . . So there I was tactfully trying to explain to Kim Jong Un that my Excel spreadsheet formulae for calculating weekly and monthly BG levels were correct and his weren't. But he was having none of it. . 😱

Fortunately, before things got too serious, I woke up!
I blame the roasted sprouts for dinner.
Or that late night slice of Sainsbury's Wensleydale & Cranberry Cheese Truckle.
Maybe even watching too many old episodes of Minder on BritBox, who knows.
Anyhow, I woke to a nice round 5 today. Which was nice. 🙂
Stay safe.

4.2 for me and another beautiful flat fish that skimmed the upper side of the bottom of my range most of the night after a steady descent from 6.2 at bedtime. Slept like a log as well, but Bella was raging before I went to sleep and worried my chicken coops might be under water this morning..... Boy did it lash down and there will certainly be some flooding out there as the ground was already water logged.

@Michael12421 So relieved to see a good reading for you this morning after that bad one yesterday. Hope you and Missy have a good day.

@eggyg Ted had another trip in his personal blue light Limo before Christmas but he managed to get checked out and check out and get home before the big day. He has been a total hero in keeping my spirits up over this difficult period via PM...., so he is still here in the background, but as Kaylz said, not happy with how an incident was handled so not actively participating. If you PM him I am sure he will respond though.
 
7.9 this morning. Went to bed at about midnight and been awake since 3am.

Baked low carb load yesterday and used that for left over turkey sandwiches. Threw away the remains of the sweet mincemeat parfait because if it was in the freezer I know I’d be tempted. I’m not entirely sure how I’ll get through the mountain of sprouts and chestnuts but maybe I’ll use some to make a hash and some for a soup.

I really need to get a firm grip on the day to day low carb eating rather than allow myself treats because the payback is so severe. Frankly feel like c**p today. I accept that’s partly from food over the last two days and lack of sleep.

On a positive note the drinking fountain I bought for the floof to use is a great success! Easy to assemble, almost silent to run, and he took to it immediately!

When I actually get up I’ll throw some clothes on and fire up some kind of exercise thing on YouTube and move around a bit before deepening the indentation in the sofa for the rest of the day.
 
Morning everyone. A very surprising 9.6 for me this morning. Went to bed on 9, had a unit to stop it going higher as it usually climbs overnight. Stayed level until about 3am when there was a sharp spike. Still, apart from that, stayed at the higher end of target all night.
2 more days of self isolation then i am out! Have a good day folks
 
Morning all and a 6.1 for me

What to do today. Probably just s bit of work on the clarinet. Oh and I ordered a late Christmas/early birthday present for myself. An electric violin should be arriving soon.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all happy day after Boxing Day day,
A 5.5 at 7:00am but after a lie in this morning until 10:00I woke up to an 8.3, we have a storm coming so gonna have to get Santa in from the garden in case he blows away.
Anyway I wish everyone a great day!!
