Group 7-day waking average?

Thanks @HenryBennett and solid advice. I could understand one but not the other which is a group pension. Am making more enquiries 🙄
 
4.1 Not much sleep just 5 1/2 hrs but not tired so pointless staying in bed.
 
Good morning everyone. 5.1 this morning.

Feeling so much better today.

Out in the cold at 8am to get some food from the local supermarket.

It is so nice to see the sun coming up earlier now too.

Had an email exchange with one of the diabetic nurses in the extensive care team. They still think that my diabetes episode was steroid and lifestyle induced but that my significant lifestyle changes have probably brought on a remission. Ie I am still classified as type 2. Who cares as long as the changes I have made seem to be helping.

My wife took my photo yesterday (is there no stopping the horrors) and I have to say that it is the first good photo of me that I have seen in about 10 years. Before I looked dreadful. Now, passable as human !!! I can live with that.

The DWP have kindly informed me that my old age pension is to increase by about £13. Unfortunately my council tax....
 
A very good, and a very early frosty morning to you all. -3 degrees on the thermometer and 6.4 on the BG meter today.

I’m up early as I have a train in my left ear! I started having problems with my ears a few weeks ago. Never had any previous bother, unless you count earache after going swimming when I was about 9/10! I had a crackly ear for a few days, no pain, just noisy and annoying. That went away after a couple of days. Last weekend I had muffled ears which made me dizzy and a bit deaf but also sensitive to certain pitches, ie my fridge and dishwasher. It was awful. Again, went away after three days, again no pain. The last two days I’ve had the low rumbling noise of a distant train in my left ear. Of course that’s the side I sleep on and it’s driving me to distraction. I know I should probably call the GP but because I don’t have any pain I’m reluctant to bother them. Is it old age, do you think? Tinnitus? An inner ear problem? Psychological? 🙄 Answers on a postcard please.

Anyhoo, have a super Saturday, it’s cold but dry, not windy and most importantly, SUNNY! I’ll mostly be trying to keep busy to distract me from the Glasgow to London express! 🙂
 
Morning all, 9.6 for me today. And its my weekend off work. Nothing planned apart from my monthly trip to Tesco to stock up.

Possibly an inner ear infection? Please get it checked out - if it morphs into vertigo or labyrynthitis, that's even less fun.

I’ve slept in :( but a 4.9 for me at 07:25.
 
Morning good peeps. :D A cute little 7 on the Libre. I’m happy with my Tresiba dose change - the overnight drop isn’t as big as before - so time to tweak the boluses. Will the fun never end?!😛

I can’t “like” this post. You should see your GP as it could be so many things.

Hi I appreciate your comment on imposing your personal opinion but I hope you won't mind me asking when you say reduced carb diet - how reduced do you mean? I struggle with eating no carbs as I don't then feel well but my BS's are higher sometimes than they should be (over 10) following meals. My BMI is just within the healthy range. Thanks
 
7 for me this morning.

@eggyg, hope your ear noise turns out to be an infection because that can be dealt with. If it is tinnitus then your years of managing an irritating nuisance will prove invaluable in coping with it - I know from experience.

By the way, the irritating nuisance I am referring to is not Mr Eggy, or posh motor cars that look good but won't go, its your old arch enemy, diabetes.
 
Morning all, 4.1 here, crawling along the bottom since the small hours. Combination of a long (rainy) walk yesterday and a couple of glasses of red wine. I reduced overnight basal, but not by enough!
 
Morning

Cold and frosty start in Scotland, sun is out but not warming the living room up any yet 🙄

7.4 for me today
xx

Was too low before bed so had some Godiva 70% coco chocolate. Can highly recommend it.

Mines was caused by digestive biscuits lol, glad you enjoyed the chocolate, sadly I'm even finding Lindt 90% on the sweet side these days so I'll stick with my Lidl's 95% haha xx
