Group 7-day waking average?

[Robin]

My "goodnite" routine has Alexa saying "Time for bed said Zebedee", turning off the TV and all NowTV, Amazon Fire and Bt connect boxes. She also turns on the bedroom lights to a suitable sleep inducing level, plays Classic fm and in the winter turns on the electric blanket.
Well she used to, SOB!!

Yes, but can she make custard tart? If not, I’m safe, otherwise I think OH will be trading me in.

Not yet - but she can provide hundreds of recipes (most of them very carb heavy). I'm just waiting for the Jeff Bezos version 3 of "Marvin the Paranoid Android" the plastic pal that's fun to be with.

2.2 for me today. I quite often wake with lows and then have to 'treat' the 13, 14, 15s that happen later in the day!

@ColinUK how exciting!!! Let us know when, where and anything else.
@Kaylz, i am enjoying my freedom thank you. Managed a short walk yestetday in between working from home and actually went out in the car today to pick up my prescription and drop off my sharps box (in between working at home again). I lead a very exciting life (not). At least i'm out properly tomorrow, i'm on the rota for work.

 

[Kaylz]

@freesia far more exciting than mine! LOL

Well I'm a tad miffed, had my Morrison's delivery last week (27th) and came to eat a Cadbury's chocolate chunk brownie, well ate it and then turned the packet over, BBE - 31/12/20!! Absolutely shocking and clearly not rotating stock as they should be, I wouldn't have been so bothered if I hadn't paid full price! Have contacted them and will see what they want to do to resolve it xx

I’m guessing they’ll refund and replace.

I have a routine set up on Alexa to turn off all the lights and check the perimeter alarm is set etc when I say goodnight.

I asked her for a date but didn't get the same responce you did, what did I do wrong

Thanks for the birthday wishes and HS congrats @MeeTooTeeTwo, @SaraKaya, @freesia, @Bloden, @Anitram, @SueEK, @Inamuddle. I had a great start and a great end to the day, but the middle was a little rocky!
Collected long-distance driving glasses✔️ Yes
Did some work✔️ Yes
Checked mail✔️ Yes
Made some difficult phone calls (to do with awful neighbours at work)✔️ Yes
Fill some applications ❌ no
Take a walk ❌ no
Ended on a calm relaxing note ❌ no, because some of you on here made me laugh out loud way too much including @Kaylz, @ColinUK, @Maca44! Thanks I needed that.
(Did Mr Mac2020 have anything exciting planned for me? He blew up a few balloons but ran out of puff, got distracted on work calls and abandoned the idea, only to surprise me later. C'est la vie!!!)

4.5 for me this morning. 🙂
Last night before dinner I registered a gobsmacking 16.1 with a "ketones" warning. 😱
I remembered that just a short time before I had used alcohol based hand sanitiser/sanitizer. So I washed my hands and got a reading of 5.0 and just to be sure to be sure a second of 4.8. I wonder if this was just a faulty strip blip? Has anyone else had strange readings after using hand sanitizer?

Dez

I don’t know about the high reading after using the sanitiser but, alcohol based wipes gives false lower readings if it hasn’t dried properly before testing & that’s why hospital’s don’t use them anymore & have to use non alcohol based wipes or swabs! 🙄

 

[Lanny]

Oops! 😳 Due to only catching up on this tread, explanations in another post after catching up, I missed your birthday! 😳 A belated Happy Birthday @Maca44🙂 Glad to hear you had a wonderful day: no capitals, I’m afraid; as it’s not present tense!😳🙄😉

 

[Lanny]

03:50 BS 6.3 🙂 Pretty happy with that after I FINALLY broke the rather BAD coincidental influence of reading the 1st half of “Why We Sleep”!🙄😳

As to yesterday’s waking BS it was 14:32 BS 8.9 after yet another night of battling to sleep: it was Pat Benatar overload; “SLEEP Is a Battlefield”! 🙄 But, I DID finally come to 2 conclusions after a bit of catch up sleeping: 1 good in that I decided NOT to read that book at night, like I do most of my reading before turning into bed; 2nd was BAD in that I suddenly noticed that I hadn’t taken my blood pressure & statin medications in 2 days simply because I forgot to put in the new tablets packs into my meds bag in the top dresser drawer by my bed after using the previous packs & failed to notice because I was SO sleep deprived from the previous accumulated nights of battling to sleep & not getting enough!😱😳 & definitely warrants a in this case! Remedied the situation straight away & took the aforementioned meds & had the new tablets packs added into my “In Use” sealed bag in my dresser drawer that holds 1 week’s worth of my meds, in the case of blood pressure meds it’s 2 weeks! * I had just been taking by rote the other pills in the bag of Evening Primrose for neuropathy, allergy pills, metaformin, vitamins D & C & zinc pills to boost immunity because of CV: been spending a fortune on those extra vitamin pills this year because of that dratted virus; not even sure IF they helped at all! 🙄 Also, rather ironically I finally finished the 1st half of the book, getting into the 2nd half, & read part 3 about dreaming & the amazing things it does & the last part 4 Titled “From Sleeping Pills To Society Transformed” left to read which I think is about sleep solutions other that sleeping pills which don’t really help especially, long term! I loved the chapters about dreaming!😛 I read during the day this time & got an early night’s sleep hence, waking early today & feel a bit better in that I no longer have headaches in my temples the last few days! But, still feel I haven’t fully caught up on sleep yet but, my BS is certainly heading back in the right direction!🙄🙂

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

Edited to add:- * other contents of my “In Use” bag.

Good morning - 2.7. It is very cold this morning.

 

[HenryBennett]

I took my wife to the hospital last evening for her covid jab and it was too late for me to start cooking so she suggested a Chinese takeaway. Big mistake. Not having had any Chinese food for possibly a couple of years I was really looking forward to it. Not only was it very disappointing (tasteless) but I had my highest ever 10.9 after two hours. Down to 8.2 before going to bed and 6.3 this morning. Lesson learned.

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 I was 4.2 this morning according to the new sensor I put on yesterday afternoon, after a night of hitting the bottom and raising levels with jelly babies I usually get a straight flat line overnight. Seems sensor is reading about 2 mmol/l below blood I know my levels aren't really going that low, but I have an aversion to seeing the hypo numbers - all psychology I suppose! If it continues to be so inaccurate I may have to request a replacement

Still got quite a DP FHTF (Dawn Phenomenon, Feet Hit The Floor) bounce 😱

 

[Snowwy]

Morning all,
5.8 this morning, yesterday randomly added rainbow rice to a tin of soup for lunch, really tasty and low carb too!
Just steeling myself for my run soon, trying to dodge the rain.

Blessings Snowwy

5.1 this morning back in the 5 range again. Happy.

Fighting Excel VBA this morning. Simple problem. Copy a sheet chart/graph to a form image. Had me stumped last night. I think I may have just solved it about 2 minutes ago.

 

[freesia]

Morning everyone. 7.6 for me this morning. Back in work today.
Have a good day.

 

[MeeTooTeeTo]

4.8 for me today. 🙂

[SueEK]

[Veenorthants]

Morning everyone, wow that just took me an age to catch up on yesterday, that'll teach me for not keeping an eye throughout the day.... @MAC2020 happy birthday hope you had a good day @Gwynn I hope you had a better day @Kaylz who cares what others say, if biscuits is what works for you eat them @ColinUK how exciting I'm keeping everything crossed and finally @Inamuddle hope you had a better day too. I kind of feel like theres something in the air at the mo as I hardly slept the night before and have been feeling low myself and just want to hide in my flat away from the world unfortunately money talks so have to go to work 🙄.

It was a 7.8 for me this morning at 6am.

Have a good day everyone
