Group 7-day waking average?

A 5.8 for me at 05:53 this morning. Very cold and misty in West Berks. I regretted going to let the chickens out in my dressing gown. I'll have to get dressed first tomorrow.

I have some work to finish off today including sending out invoices (I hate administration!) and Sainsbury's coming at 11:00. Otherwise a quiet day. I'll hopefully get time to take my son out on his electric scooter (Christmas present). He fell off on Tuesday and grazed his nose but I got him back on it yesterday. After a whizz round the lawn he was confident enough to venture out. The farm we live on was an airfield during WWII so we have miles of tracks he can play on which were the old perimeter tracks as well as pill boxes and air raid shelters in the woods. Perfect for a ten year old!
 
Congratulation @Lanny on your House Special. 🙂
 
Late on parade! 6.8 at 7am now an adrenaline fuelled 12.8 after a scary icy hobble to the shop 😱 I got cheered on by a walking group heading to the Cotswolds with their crampons, walking poles and head torches "well done, aren't you brave!"... Err no I'm just trying not to slip over on the way to buy some milk :D

Have a good day everyone, as Old Mr Grace used to say "You've all done very well" especially @Lanny with an HS 🙂

Have you been playing with the ability to draw perfect circles, ellipses etc?

You can also get a paper-like screen protector which is covered in tiny nano-dots and gives a texture of paper when you draw/write on it. Apparently it’s really rather good and turns the screen into a more intuitive sketch pad.

That’s interesting. I’ve not come across it. Does it detract from using it as a touch screen if u only use the pencil rarely?
 
Good evening everyone and may all your New Years Eve parties be small. I hope you still manage to enjoy it. I have been reluctant to post as @freesia i have had two awful days waking up with 14. Its back down to 7 during the day. This is three days after increasing night time insulin again. Its made it worse. Without a libre i don't know what it is doing at night. I will try to set my alarm and wake up during the night and test. I woke up this morning sweating and discovered that my husband had added a dressing gown during the night as he was so cold.
I have managed two walks today. Went to the beach this afternoon and it was really busy. I guess people have no where else to go. Even saw people swimming.
Happy New Year
Sue xx
 
Congrats @Lanny on you HS!
Happy New Year to one and all!

Blessings Ian

Must be the DF flying around. I'm hoping, as this is the third night by basal has been increased, it will start to kick in. Day time levels have been much better so fingers crossed. Might have a few walnuts before bed as well just in case its a dawn phenomonen thats caused it. @Inamuddle , a walk on the beach sounds lovely. I wish we lived on the coast, the sound of the sea i always find calming
 
Happy New Year all. 7.1 @ 1.02pm when I finally got round to measuring!

Snow, Snow, Thick Thick Snow 🙂

Forgot to say how much I admire this forum with some peoples having trouble and strife in their own lives yet taking the time out to try and help others. Good peoples.

Not as far as I’m aware. Just Google “paper like screen protector reviews”
 
Happy New Year everyone. Lets hope 2021 is a better one xx
 
6.1 again today.

Happy & healthy 2021 to everyone.
 
Morning and Happy New Year, all the best for 2021 and lets hope it's a better one!

8.2 this morning, 2 hobnob and chipolata induced, going to lose my rag if someone doesn't stop helping themselves to my bedtime biscuit supply, getting thoroughly fed up of, needs to go out and buy something herself for once! 😡

Was drifting off nicely until the first round of fireworks went off at 10:44pm, next door been playing loud thumping music all night and still at it and OCD will consume at least 2 and a half hours of my life, sorry existence cause this ain't no life today, I'll be like a zombie come the evening especially after 2 weeks of daily lows to top it off, but hey ho I'm apparently selfish because I'm fed up of it all

Best thing for me for 2021 would be to get out of this h**l hole!


Sorry guys, low and nobody to vent to

Have as nice a day as possible
xx
 
Happy new Year everyone!. I was in bed and asleep by 10.40pm.
Can't believe I managed this, this morning...
NYD House Special.jpg
The blip on my graph was 2 Bedside Hypo Heros fighting off a red incursion....Not sure if that negates my House Special but I am claiming it and the fact that I have 96% TIR on my Libre for the last 7 days and 92% for the last 14 days. I also feel rather proud that I caught that hypo this morning at 4.26am before I hit the red, despite a couple of G&Ts and a port last night. I also had 1.5 stem ginger cookies before bed to take me up to 10 to try to keep me in range and that worked pretty well too... and that is with no evening Levemir, just exercise.... so I am feeling pretty smug this morning!

Hope everyone has a good day.
 
Happy New Year everybody. :D
Today's result 5.0. 🙂
My Excel spreadsheet tells me:
Week Average 4.9
Month Average 4.9
3 month Average 5.0
Year Average 5.1
So I must be doing summat right.
