Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A whopping 10.4 for me this morning and high all night despite a rather rash 4 unit correction at bedtime. I failed to eat properly again yesterday and picked at a few things last night that I probably shouldn't. I would love to say it was an apple Danish or a lemon tart @ColinUK and @Robin but it was 4 squares of dark 70% choc and a quarter of a jar of peanut butter!... Oh and one square of a Hartley's jelly that I found in the back of the cupboard.... reminded me of when I was a child and Mam would let us have a square each as a sweet treat! I needed comfort food because I lost my favourite hen Tasha yesterday after 4 months of nursing her and hand feeding her. She was an old lady at 9 years but I had really hoped, if I could get her through to the spring and warmer weather she might pick up.
Anyway, I really need a big plate of veggies today to start feeling better and get myself back on track and a long walk and I have a grave to dig for my little friend. :(
 
4.8 first reading this morning but after a long walk so not sure it counts as a waking reading! Also haven’t been eating well recently due to added stress so expect my walk was an attempt to get my BS back on target.

Have recently acquired a SD Gluconavii meter on account of cheaper strips but it’s readings are vastly different to my usual meter. Do I need a control solution for the Navii meter to calibrate it? Is that what those who have a Navii have had to do?

All advice and comments welcome.

Otherwise have a great day today especially the mums and women generally, Mothers’ Day today and International Women’s Day last Monday.
 
4.0 for me on waking this morning

I am certainly not a mother or a father but I would like to wish all mums on here a Very Happy Day - Michael

Thanks Michael, what a beautiful painting, I’m a mother of three daughters who are all mothers. I feel that today is their day more than mine, but they have all said that they are going to pop by for a doorstep visit which is lovely. I’m a very lucky woman.

Aw, my dogs have bought me a Mother’s Day card and a box of chocs - they used Tesco’s Click&Fetch. 😳 😛

Yes I clocked them last night in Tesco while doing weekly shop, one had chocs and a card in it's mouth and the other had a string of the butchers sausages, they didn't pay just legged it up the road.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and lived in a village, people just used to let their dogs roam about in those days and I remember when our dog arrived home with a string of sausages from the local butcher. Also a few years ago when we had a cat, we got home one day to find the remains of a cooked chicken in the kitchen which she had dragged in through the cat flap.

We used to live opposite a house with 3 cats. One day, one of them jumped into their next doors open kitchen window and came out dragging a leg of lamb!
 
One of my cat's (A small female) brought in a live Pidgeon, as she was running up the stairs she bit into it's jugular vein & our house was like something out of a horror movie blood was all over the walls, I didn't fancy eating it after that, the Pidgeon not the cat.
 
Just had a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my son .. I know other mothers will understand when I say I’d gladly swap them for a cuddle . He lives 250 miles away so hardly seem him in the last year . I’m sorry this is off subject
 
No idea what’s going on with me a 14.7 at 4am. Been high every since can’t get it down to acceptable level.
Hope everyone is having a nice day.
 
16:23 BS 7.1 🙂 Yay! That’s more or less bank in target range after waking up!:D

Totally forgot it’s Mother’s Day & I’m thinking of my own mum that passed away in July 2015 & also my sister who passed in June 2018 both from cancer! :confused:
