Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone and I wish you all a Happy New Year! A late report today, the 6 generous G&T’s and the bubble water at midnight gave me a terrible hangover this morning so I’m now crawling out of bed with a respectable 7.2... now I desperately need coffee.
Everyone have a great first day of the new year, it can only be better than the last one!!
 
Happy New and hopefully tier free year to everyone. I don’t visit often but thought I’d start the year by calling in with a 6.4 which is one of the best waking levels I’ve had for months!
Time to get the glucose control back on track after a year fighting health issues on lots of fronts. Doc decided to reduce my testing strips by a third at the start of the pandemic with no discussion so I simply request them more often and yesterday made it clear I need them restoring. Met with agreement 😉

I‘ve been following everyone’s progress with interest and have been deeply saddened hearing of those who have suffered pain and loss from this wretched virus!

Stay safe, sane and diabetically steady everyone. Amigo x

Happy New Year good morning, Teds about although haven`t been far, in the background.

Thought I`d start this year on a positive note and start posting again with my forum friends.

Congratulations on HS Barbara aka @rebrascora. 😎

Take care folks do what you all do best, look after each other.

Stay safe and don`t fall over on the ice, leave that to me.:D

Another surprise. Great to hear from you again and hope we ‘see’ lots of you. Happy new year to you x
 
Happy New Year all. Glad you're back Ted as every time I see your name it reminds me of my very happy Egypt 2010 holiday. 🙂

Yay a nice new diary, let's hope I don't mess it up again... 7.2 @ 6.32am

Thanks Sue, always enjoy your posts and it was reading of your struggle with the ‘numbers’ too that prompted me to post today 🙂

That’s nice, glad I’m good for something as can’t deny been feeling a bit of a failure lately. The carbs keep calling me and I answer lol. We can do this together, we can will each other on x

If there are I haven't seen them. We live in the farm house which was the officers mess during the war
 
Happy new year everyone. The house looked like a small nuclear bomb had gone off when I got up this morning. The joys of a ten year old with a bag of party poppers! All cleaned up now. Spent the morning sorting out the downstairs. I'll do the bedrooms tomorrow and then my office and wife's craft studio (both in the attic) on Sunday.

A 5.7 for me at 09:09 despite large amounts of snacking - I did a buffet yesterday so that everyone can graze all evening and then a bottle of bubbly at midnight which accounts for the late start! Took my son out on his scooter this afternoon and now a ride on the exercise bike.

New Year resolutions - get off metformin and get down to a BMI below 25. The target is 13st 12lbs and I was 15st 9lbs to start the year this morning. Somehow having less than 2 stone to loose doesn't seem too daunting!
 
Oooops I wrote but didn’t post !

Happy(er) New Year to all

A 7.2 this morning I enjoyed the odd glass or more of alcohol last night and some pizza.

Just written things into the calendar - brave I know!!

Oh Sue I was very well on Christmas day, bubbled with my mate and his family and we went into the garden
where there is a wishing well. I said to him does it work? of course he replied, I said I haven`t got any change
so game me a bit of shrapnel and tossed it in and wished, next thing I know I`m head first in the well and soaking.

Anyway he got me out sat me on the patio chair and gave me a large glass of hot toddy and towels, I said I didn`t
wish for that😡 he said I did, how come you got the wish? he said its my well, my money so my wish next time bring
your own money you tight b*****d.o_O😱:D xx

OMG Ted, you have to be pulling my leg, surely even you couldn’t fall in a well 😳 you shouldn’t just wear padding to protect yourself you should be in a padded room and not allowed to leave it xx
 
03:52 BS 3.8 o_O Felt alright but, had a JB before getting up to cook breakfast! Just finished eating & bunged in NR, after for once for safety!🙂

BS was a bit higher all day yesterday & maybe had a touch of a chill, if not quite a cold, after all that sneezing the previous night before yesterday! Stuck up the LR a bit & kept it at the higher dose at midnight: must be recovering a bit & the basal was a bit too much; have to keep an eye on BS until midday LR when I’ll go back down again! 🙄

A very early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

The snow was all gone when it grew light enough to see yesterday morning & last night was definitely warmer so, probably, still too dark to see, snow free today as well! 🙂
