Group 7-day waking average?

Morning. 5.8 for me today.

Looks like another lovely sunny day ahead here too. Given husbands hay fever sneezing over the last few days, I think today’s walk will be a beach one...although he was fine while playing first cricket match of the year yesterday....funny that 🙂

Have a good day all.

He keeps his Beconase in his cricket bag - simples 😉
 
Good morning from a sun drenched Bristol. Jog with dog across the Suspension Bridge and down to the coffee shop to allow a lot of sniffing ( for the hound, that is).

Birthday micro gathering was fun, lovely weather and dinner last night was a nice pot roast. 5.2 this morning for me - the lowest ever since I've been jabbing my digits.

Today, the family and hound are ready for the seaside (the twins are well behaved, the adults usually not) and we will be off in about an hour to good old Weston super Mare only 30 mins away.

Malcolm (that's Malcolm the Morgan) is safely locked away and I'll see him later 😉

Hope everyone has had a smashing weekend so far and that Sunday is no different!

To infinity and beyond! :D Glad to hear your wife’s paranoia has taken a break @Gwynn. There must be vegan ice-cream on offer at most places these days - you can get dog i-c at our local caff!

Morning folks.🙂 Best get out for our walk asap before the fun-/sun-seekers descend on this part of Pembrokeshire - it’s great to see people, especially families with kids, enjoying themselves!
 
Morning all, 4.1 here, should have reduced basal after yesterday’s physical activity. Riding instructor decided we needed a bit of a boot camp exercise to improve our riding position. Bit like Pilates on horseback, my core hasn’t had a workout like it since before Lockdown 1. Then I did flatpack building and a load of gardening at our son's.
 
Morning all. 7.3 for me today. Off home later and back to reality, work tomorrow, having grandchildren and shopping. Been a lovely relaxing g break though figures have bee high despite the swimming.
@Kaylz where are you luv, missing you x
Have a good day everyone x

Safe home!
As I write this, our golden lab Lawrence has just eaten my bacon and sausage. It's going to be one of those days I sense.
 
4.5 Also spent all Saturday in garden major shrub surgery which involved a shredder was really pleased to get some very nice compost from compost bin it contains lots of wee but since I got to grips with me Type2 a little less wee wee, still its good stuff and lots of it, round 2 today but more pottering.
 
A pump assisted 5.5 again.
I sleep so much better now, knowing that Humphrey will wake me if it wants some help, otherwise it is only the ‘normal’ disturbances that come with age.

Ather fantastic sunny day with a bit more of a breeze. I spent yesterday making an obelisk from willow to creatr some height in a flower bed. The clematis is planted under it and as it grows it will disguise the ‘variation’ in levels.

A late lunch party in the garden today. We decided that would be healthier than yet another cream tea, which gets a bit carb heavy (but is very enjoyable)

Have a good day.
 
Morning all. 6.4 today, which considering I didn’t take my basal last night ( usually 9 units) that’s good. I didn’t do it on purpose though, I forgot as I had a same day hangover! 😱 Like @HenryBennett I too overdone it in the garden ( of beer) and will definitely be more circumspect today as well. 😉

I’ll re- read all yesterday’s posts later alas I just skimmed, tad delicate at the mo.
Have a sunny Sunday, and remember, overdoing it in the beer garden is not big and not clever! 😛
 
Well done @Clifton on your House Special. 🙂
 
A whopping 13.2 for me this morning!
I had a bad hypo last night before dinner. Levemir and exercise took me down to 2.9 and I really felt rough with it. My Libre came adrift earlier in the day so I didn't get the chance to spot it and head it off.
We had a Chinese takeaway, but there was a queue so it was probably after 9pm when we eventually ate. I was only 5.2 and still recovering from the hypo half way through the meal and I made lowish carb choices. Jabbed 2 units bolus Fiasp at that point and another what I thought were risky 2units at bedtime when I was up to 11.0. Woke at 2am half expecting to be hypo again but was 11.5. Resisted the urge to correct as per DAFNE but it wasn't the right decision considering my morning reading. Jabbed myself 3 units Fiasp this morning to bring me down and one less Levemir and headed out at 6.30am to start my day and I was hypo by 7.30am. Arrgh!!
In two minds about applying my last Libre sensor. Maybe I need to go back to listening and being more aware of my body and less reliant on the technology.

@Gwynn So pleased you have had 2 good days on the trot. Fingers crossed that continues.

@Clifton Many congratulations on your first House Special.... 5.2 is the nominated optimum waking fasting reading!

@eggyg Hope your session in the beer garden was well worth the hangover.
 
7.2 before breakfast.

A tad high🙂, but very pleased, only second pre-breakfast less than 8 in two weeks (worst 23.3 after hypo night before :(), and sixth below 8 in last 32 pre-meal tests.
Hope increase in BI continues to work, having recently decreased BI.
To celebrate, had a coffee-on-the-beach. Brilliant blue sky and sea, almost no wind so didn't need my hat.
Busy week as Jab-2 later today and Tuesday is Haircut Day.

Apologies for length, but BGs in range make me feel so much better.
