Group 7-day waking average?

6.6 before breakfast.
Down from 6.9 at bed when had 8g carbs.
4.5 at 02:30 with 8g carbs
3.5 at 04:30 with 8g carbs.
Thanks to Libre for spotting the low values or might have been lower at breakfast.
Hope to get out today, Monday was rained off.
 
Morning all a nice 5.6 this morning after the best 24 hours in my living memory, my line never went higher than 6.0 or lower than 4.8, I’m very impressed with myself (I’m trying to be low carb <35g per meal this week).
Leg bone doesn’t want to heal so looks like a new bigger pin from my knee to my ankle and a bone graft.
have a great day folks!!
 
5.0 on the money.

Would you believe it this is the first time I have recorded 5.0 !
 
A 5.6 for me at 06:56 on a wet and dreary West Berkshire morning. At least it is mild so the chickens didn't have to wait for me to get dressed this morning. I ventured out in my dressing gown. I was a bit apprehensive about this morning's reading as yesterday was my first day with no meds. More than happy with the result.

@HenryBennett and @Kaylz congrats on the HSs
@ColinUK sorry for your loss.

Unfortunately it won't as he'll still touch things out and about and then come in here touching things before washing his hands, its that that gets me wound up more so it won't help me at all xx

This is a long shot would he use hand gel? I have a pocket size one in what I still think of as my dog walking bag, and use the gel when I touch say a gate or fence when out on walk.

No, we have been trying to get him to do this from the beginning for obvious reasons but he just doesn't care and even now he tries I forgot I had to wash my hands after almost a year, he's 88 he's not going to change even if it does mean he's putting others at risk xx

I’m over 6 months overdue my opticians appointment, I broke my main specs two months ago and wearing my spares which give me a headache but I really don’t want to go. Half an hour in a small room with someone so close they could snog you. No thanks! We’re all different when it comes to risk, I’m shielding again as I don’t have a spleen so won’t chance anything. It’s not that I think the opticians aren’t Covid secure I’m 100% certain they are. I worked there before I retired and obviously know the staff extremely well. They understand my reticent and my optometrist isn’t too concerned at the moment. Do what you feel is right for you not what anyone else thinks.

A 9 this morning. Thanks @eggyg if I can get thru to them I will cancel have no intention of snogging the optician though....now when I do go that thought will be implanted in my head. Hopefully by end of Feb I will have had the vaccination and be a bit more confident.
 
@Anitram - congrats on the HS. Well done Martin

Me too, fingers crossed for vaccination soon. I need new specs!
 
@eggyg I wouldn’t mind half an hour or so in a room with someone so close that they were in snogging range.
As long as they were maybe Henry Cavill.

My wife had a Teams meeting scheduled with colleagues in Japan this morning, at 8am our time, which meant our usual morning routine of breakfast then walk to get a newspaper was off. That's OK, I thought - at least I won't have to get up at the usual time then. However, I'd forgotten it was bin day and sure enough they woke me with the usual racket with the recycling boxes, so I decided I might as well get up and have breakfast anyway.

Maybe I should write and thank them, because look what I got:-

I really like my optician, she was my boss for three years, but she’s definitely not my type! Now if my optician was Idris Elba, for example, now you’re talking!
