Group 7-day waking average?

@Northerer.
Love your Valentines poem Alan. Thanks for that! Most appropriate reading it whilst I have a heart pumping hypo and guzzle JBs before and after my breakfast!

My reading was a very nice 5.3 this morning but I did need one Lift tab (edited to add... through the night) and DP hasn't kicked in so my levels have dropped unexpectedly quickly.
Looks like the elevated levels from the Covid vaccine have subsided too (I had it Friday night), so perhaps I can get back
to normal once I readjust my Levemir. Today might be a day of munching JBs till I get things back on an even keel. It will make a pleasant change from jabbing myself with insulin every few hours.

@MeeTooTeeTwo
Congrats Dez. Was concerned you were getting out of practice!

@Maca44 Hope you are feeling a bit more upbeat today. Good to see you still have your sense of humour!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! A day to treasure the people/animals you love and show them how much they mean to you. My lot will be getting extra carrots!
 
7.4 today and need to get my act in gear. Have forgotten to take all my tablets for the last two days, I seem to leave my brain at work. I’m so lazy at home, I do jobs in the morning and then that’s it for me for the rest of the day. Not sure if it’s listlessness, boredom or pure laziness.
Anyhow off we go again.
@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on the HS.
@Northerner another great poem, we haven’t had one for a while and I’ve missed them, talented chap!!
Have a good Sunday everyone xx
 
Good morning to you all. Unfortunately not for me. Reading this morning was 13.4 after a night of no sleep thanks to a raging UTI, constant vomiting and diarrhea. I had no out-of-the-ordinary food, and not much of that.
Sorry to hear, hope all settles soon!
 
Morning all. :D 6.2 here.

I’ve been feeling like you have @SueEK and friends of mine too - it’s got something to do with the situation we’re in. I lost all my enthusiasm in October, couldn’t even be bothered doing things I enjoy or necessary things like cleaning. I dragged myself out of my rut with my current knitting project - I call it Knitting for Sanity o_O:D - basically, I’m knitting bobble hats for friends. It seems to be working, I’ve got my mojo back. You’re not lazy, you’re knackered, like the rest of us!

Hope you’re feeling better soon @Michael12421.
 
Morning all on this positively balmy morning. It’s a mild 3 degrees! 6.4 today. Felt a bit rough yesterday, assuming vaccination to blame, splitting headache was the worst thing but felt wishy washy all day. That’s good though, means it’s working so I’m happy with that.
Today is the day the love birds get together, and I do mean birds, Valentine’s Day is traditionally when they find their mates and start getting ready for the breeding season. I’m hoping the nest box I put up last year will get used this year.
Well done @MeeTooTeeTwo on your HS. @SueEK I’m the same re feeling lazy, like @Bloden says it’s the times we’re in, why bother when no one is going to visit. @Michael12421 I didn’t “like” your post as it sounds like you’re having a rough time, hope you’re able to get hold of some antibiotics and get rid of that UTI ASAP, take care.
Have a Happy Valentines Day if that’s your thing. We don’t exchange presents but we are having a nice meal tonight, I’ll do the starters, cheese soufflé, and Mr Eggy doing the duck breast main. We’ll have a bottle of fizz too. I might even wear something other than my leggings and hoodie! 😉
 
Good morning all - 6.3 this morning. Another busy day today, video meeting in a min.... on a Sunday, wth 😱

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
@Michael12421 so sorry you are feeling so bad. Maybe you need some antibiotics, if you don’t start feeling better soon you must ring your doctor. Let us know how you are doing xx
@Bloden thanks, sorry you were feeling the same but it’s good to know it’s not just me. I don’t feel low or anything just so lethargic and can’t be bothered so am not eating well either. I think part of it is I would normally be getting everything ready for opening up our caravan again and spending some time there and also trying to rent it out, not sure we can afford another year of no income from it. I’ll stop whinging now but good to get it off my chest and acknowledge what I’m doing, or basically not doing x
Had some lovely flowers from hubby today which was nice. Forgot to say Happy Valentines Day to all x
 
Morning everyone. After an afternoon and evening with the libre graph showing like a range of mountains then going up and hovering between 11-14(!!) overnight, woke to libre showing 12 and finger prick showing 10. Its the last couple of days of the sensor so need to finger prick more and check. Ruins my TIR though.

@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on the HS
@Michael12421 i hope you feel better soon
@SueEK i think lots of people are feeling like that atm, you're not alone.
Have a Happy Valentines Day all
 
ts the last couple of days of the sensor so need to finger prick more and check.
my latest sensors have been quite good throughout the whole 14 days lately, I've been rather impressed! I applied a new one last night and oh my, it was a painful application! Still tender ii I go near it! LOL but was 1mmol higher than bloods at bedtime (2 hours after applying) and 0.6mmol lower than blood this morning xx
 
Oh, meds been getting plenty and easy bloods. Last year at home I'd been getting none.
Wards been cold here last week. Had been second ward since Tues. Now back to first. Just spotted the window is open.

Thats a good difference. This sensor has seemed to be out on lots of occasions though not quite enough to report to Abbott x
