Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 4.8 here. 🙂

Nice to see the HS’s piling up already - well done those that have bagged one.😛

Well, I gave my laptop / zoom a good shake up yesterday - hopefully the issues I’ve been having are fixed. I’ll find out at Welsh class this afternoon.😛
 
Morning all from a very happy eggy, I’ve only gone and got a HS, so budge over my fellow champs @Northerner and @Gwynn I’m on the 5.2 step with you. Congratulations by the way.
Fishmongers’ delivery today, looking forward to that as it’s the most excitement I get these days, barring getting a HS of course. Have a fab Friday and good luck to all those getting their jabs. Still awaiting my call, suppose I’ve another 10 days before the deadline. :D

6.6 (@7am this morning)
although I did wake up in the night and was 7.1 (@ 04:30) I guess that was the biscuits I had snacked on yesterday evening
 
Morning all. Woke to a 3.3 this morning. At breakfast back up to 7.5.
This new sensor is behaving very oddly. The first 36 hours were fine, fairly accurate with finger pricks. Then yesterday after lunch suddenly showed a vertical line and a 15!!!! Finger prick was 11. Had an extra unit, it dropped back down then stayed steady until tea. After a lowish carb tea it showed levels in the 10s when finger pricks were 7-8, then a jagged decline overnight to hypo this morning. I hope it behaves itself today.
Busy day today. Back to working at home, trying to book a phone consultation with GP and sorting out driving licence which has still not been reviewed by the DVLA despite them having it for weeks. It runs out on 23rd. I can drive under a Section 88 apparently but with doctors permission. Surgery say they have never heard of this. Need my licence sorting out as without it i can't get to work!
Anyway, have a good day everyone. Weather says its going to get colder
 
Morning

Very wet, windy, cold and just bloody miserable to be honest here today, we are in the amber weather warning for heavy snow for the next few days but I'll believe it when I see it 🙄

10.0 for me after a bad night, neighbours congregated at the top of the stairs until well after 1am so haven't had much sleep again

Oh Morrison's refunded me for the past BBE brownies at 8am this morning, hope they also get their staff trained in stock rotation and the pickers & packers checking dates!
xx
 
Congrats @Northerner, @eggyg and @Gwynn on the House specials! Like buses today!
@freesia i hope you get the driving license thing sorted, it’s my biggest worry losing my license, despite being ok to drive you are vulnerable to the ‘system’ so fingers crossed!
6.2 for me today. It’s active Friday today!! (Unfortunately it’s only a double walking day! ) so be interesting what happens to my levels today. So good to be in charge of my body now, different mind set to the ‘insulin controlling’ me one that I had at the beginning! Thank you everyone for helping me sort the Monster out!! X
Get the thermals out everyone it’s going to get cold!
 
A Len Goodman SEVEN today from a very foggy and dismal Brighton.
So many HS’s, congrats to @Northerner , @Gwynn and @eggyg . Need to go out and get dog treats today.
Have a good one all x
 
My levels are all over the place and it is interesting to read that others are finding their Libre's playing up a bit as my current one and the previous one have both got me doubting them a bit.

Woke up this morning on 4.7 texted by sister whilst still in bed (5 mins) and then scanned again and 7.3 with an upward sloping arrow which I assumed was FOTF even though I hadn't set foot on the floor.... surely it should have been vertical to increase so much in 5 mins.... Anyway, jabbed my insulin and set the alarm for 10 mins to have a snooze as I was rather late to bed last night. Woke up when the alarm went off and down to 5.2 with no arrow at all! I am not in any way claiming an house special I am calling my morning fasting reading as 4.7 but just saying something is amiss. I know my levels almost always drop when I sleep but not in 10 mins! My first 6 months of use of Libre I have been absolutely confident to bolus and correct off them as they have always been pretty close when checked with a fingerprick and it has worked out great, but these last 2 sensors, like others have found, have given me unusual wiggly lines overnight and I have had some LO readings when I was actually in the 3s and just generally not behaving quite right. Do you think they may have changed the algorithm/calibration. Just seems weird that a few of us are noticing unusual results.

Anyway, Congrats to @Northerner, @Gwynn and @eggyg. Great going this morning guys! Well done!
 
5.8 for me. Weather forecast? “Rain all day”. As Captain Darling wrote in his diary: Bugger.
 
Good morning all - 4.8 this morning. A little low, but i'll take it.

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
Update on the DVLA issue
A GP (who i have never heard of at our surgery, locum or new)has refused me permission to drive when my licence runs out. She said no as soon as i said i wad type 1. She said that i needed my consultant to agree to me driving. I said i don't have one, i am under a DSN. She just said, sorry she can't help and would be refusing permission. I told her the DVLA said it could be any doctor but she still refused. I've rang Diabetes UK who are getting their advocacy team to get in touch but it may be a few days. My DSN isn't in today and i'm in class Monday so can't try her then. The local office is hoping to get another DSN to ring me today to see if they can do it or if they can email the surgery.
I feel really down, frustrated, angry, tearful. Why isn't anything ever easy
