Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 5.6 here. The merest icing sugar sprinkle of snow outside, but more forecast. I'm supposed to be horse riding with daughter this morning, but it involves driving up and down steep and icy hills to get there, will keep an eye on the forecast.
 
Morning, another 6.8, nothing at all to do with the box of Quality Street Mr Eggy brought back from his mothers’s! 😉 It’s ok all the orange ones are gone now! We did get out for a walk yesterday, a very pleasant 6 miler. Certainly blew the cobwebs off. A crisp frosty morning today and Dad’s DIY Ltd has had a call out, so we’re off to daughter number 1s to see if he can sort out the ancient burner for their oil central heating. It definitely isn’t the weather to be living in an unheated draughty old farmhouse. They do have a log burner which only heats a two foot radius! Have a brilliant Bank Holiday.🙂
 
Morning everyone. Levels all over the place yesterday. Started ok then spent most of thr day in the 11s, struggling to bring them down, followed by a crashing hypo then a massive bounce back to almost 14 overnight. Another correction overnight finally bought me back to 5.9 this morning. Only thing i can put it down to is isolation..roll on tomorrow so i can get out for a walk, be more active.
Have a good day all
@Gwynn well done for taking control of you
@Michael12421 so glad you enjoyed your trip out and well done on your levels.
 
4.4 for me this morning but it took 2 JBs at 4.30am to get me there with no evening Levemir and went to bed on 8.1 with no evening bolus for my long over due steak and salad. Guess my 6 mile evening walk was a bit too much but I struggled with high levels yesterday and needed 2 corrections to keep me in range, so decided I needed to burn some BG. It was bitter and icy but I did enjoy it and I know my body and mind benefits from it.

@Michael12421 So pleased you went and it sounds like you had a great time and managed your levels fantastically well. By the time I saw your post it was early evening so too late to encourage you to go but I wanted to. I bet Missy enjoyed it too.

@MeeTooTeeTwo Dez, are you winding me up after what I said yesterday!! Congrats yet again to you!

@freesia So sorry you are on a roller coaster with your levels at the moment. Hope your walk tomorrow helps to even things out and the weather is kind to you.

@Flower start saving for a new hall carpet as it might get a bit of wear in the coming weeks.... at least you can play music and sing along as you walk and not have to worry about kerbs or traffic or puddles!
 
Morning all and 5.7 for me.

For anyone struggling to get blood out of the fingers for a test may I recommend the needle springs used on clarinets. I'd forgotten what evil b******* they are.

Have a good day everyone.

I have what I believe is a late 19th century oboe. How difficult is it to restore, or how expensive to have it done? Thx.
 
Morning all 7.6 today and can’t blame it on my cold as it’s in it’s way out.
@MeeTooTeeTwo yet again congrats to you.
@Michael12421 glad you went and had a good time, our mental health is as important as our body health and you certainly needed some company, I hope you get another invite in the future.
@Gwynn welcome and sorry to hear how your do unfolded but lots of help and support here.
Didn’t mention earlier but on Christmas Eve I received a fine from LTF for £80 as I did t pay the low emission charge, had absolutely no idea I had to, I paid the congestion charge and wrongly assumed that because my car has never been flagged as high emission that it was ok. Sadly I received the first fine two days after I had gone to London the second time. These were visits to the hospital so in effect my appointments will have cost me £190 plus fuel, I’m numb about it, very expensive learnt though I have appealed but not expecting them to quash it. Grrrr.
Have a good day all, back to work for me tomorrow x

Morning all! It’s a 7.0 and it’s only gone and snowed! Outrageous! snow & crutches do not mix so I am confined to walking up & down the hall.

Have a good extra Boxing Day (I think!) 🙂

Can you not affix some tennis rackets to the bottom of your crutches? 😛
 
6.3 today. And heading out for a walk.
I may walk along the river Thames from central London all the way out to Putney and back. Maybe.
 
Morning....a 9 this morning. Which is an improvement. I realised yesterday after another rubbish day, and reading a post on here that i am waking up and staying in bed worrying. Its causing a rise in blood sugars. I got up and tested early. Such sad news today having just read Mikes thread. @fresia i cannot understand why you have to stay indoors, if it is possible to get out of your door and have a short walk without coming into contact with anyone else what harm can it do. That is unless you live in a block of flats.

Its probably just me being overly cautious. I've been told to stay in until 29th so i've taken it literally. The road i live on is quite busy, not with traffic but several people walking, children playing out (because there is no traffic). Its also used as a short cut to get to another road. I've never been on a walk down the road yet when i've not met someone i know. Even when social distancing it would worry me if they stopped to speak. As i said, its more me being TOO overly cautious but i would rather that than put someone at risk, even though i have no symptoms. If i lived somewhere more rural i would definitely be out.

Morning everyone it’s a 9.7 for me

I just don’t get it I read all about your lovely little picky bits you have in an evening and I don’t eat anything after 7pm only drink tea perhaps I need to start

I find exercise on an evening (a brisk walk after evening meal if you are able) really helps reduce my morning levels... too much sometimes 😱.

because that is the rules, fine if you had your own garden but very selfish if there's a possibility you come into contact with someone else, no matter how careful people are being unfortunately it still spreads so best not to risk it IMO
 
4.8 Have a good day, can't wait to get back to work my wife is over covid and isolation ends at midnight, Yay.
