Group 7-day waking average?

Hello...I must apologise for not posting for a couple of weeks, it was so difficult once I stopped to come back here and post. I don't really want to explain, and really do not want advice but I felt even worse when the shops reopened and I would of (in my previous life) been going back to work. Instead I just felt pointless.
So my BS was 8 this morning, I have managed in the last couple of weeks to have some low readings. Last lot of blood tests show that my HBAC is down by 20, and although still higher than most peoples it is an improvement.

On the positive side I have been looking after my granddaughter a few times during the holidays and yesterday we took her for a very windy walk on the beach. She is now 6 and has lost all her front teeth in quick succession. I did go to the shops to buy her some leggings but she is so tall that I had to buy age 9.

No need for explanations, we are all who we are. Just nice to see you back xx
 
@Inamuddle
Good to see you back and to hear that you have had a fantastic reduction in your HbA1c. A drop of 20 is fantastic and to be honest, any more might be detrimental to your health. Slow and steady improvement is the name of the game. So pleased to hear you have had some better results whilst you have been absent but would have loved to congratulate you on them if you had been here reporting them at the time. I know life gets in the way sometimes or we need a break from social media every now and then, but really pleased to hear from you and that things are going better for you and that you spent some lovely time with your granddaughter at the beach. I am sure you will both treasure those fond memories X
 
04:26 BS 5.7 🙂 SO NICE to be back in the 5’s again!:D Lasted until just after 21:30 last night: was pretty out of it actually by 17:03, looked at the clock, but, knew LR was coming up at 18:00; tried to stay awake & ended up getting wired on adrenaline by the time LR went in & took another 3.5 hours to nod off!🙄

Got a phone call from prescriptions department at my health centre yesterday about the over ordering of LR & was asked for my doses as their records must be from AGES ago saying I use 72 units a day: I hover between 156 & 160 units a day which breaks down to 78 each dose or sometimes 80, or even more, when under the weather; said my prescription is on hold until she checks that with the hospital doctor! 🙄 It leaves me wondering don’t they ever read my constant dosage updates I keep putting on my order form? I told her I’ve only got 3 pens left & that’s only about 5 days worth as each pen only gives me 3 doses with a bit leftover! She said she’d call me when things are checked & I can get my insulin! It had better be soon & I’m quite worried about it! I tried stocking up after that faulty box incident but, had quite a fight on my hands over it: now know why; I think their records of my dosages were from a few years ago as I’ve been under the hospital team since 2015! I’ve already noticed a disconnect between my health centre & the hospital before in regards to blood tests: presumably why I needed to go up to the hospital for those bloods before my last review!o_O I’m going to be an anxious wreck until I get that insulin!😱

An early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! JUST about my usual 😉 for you lovely lot but, a Gritted Teeth in anxiety emoji for me!:(
 
@Freddie1966 congrats on your HS
@Lanny hope they get your prescription sorted pronto, you shouldn’t have to have that worry x
Spoke to @Kaylz yesterday and she is fine, just taking a little break xx
Morning all, 6.9 today after a mad day at work, you certainly pay for having time off!! New lady coming in for some training today, hope I don’t scare her away lol.
Had grandchildren after work as daughter back to work, was lovely, they’re so good.
Other grandson after work today, no rest for the wicked.
Hope you all have a good day x
 
A 5.8 here. After a few days of lovely weather it’s overcast.
 
A near miss for me this morning 5.1

I should have been nick named 'near miss'. There are so many instances in my life where I have litterally just missed oblivion, from walking past the Birmingham rotunda pub bombing about one minute before it went off, to a near miss air crash on landing at Karachi airport many years ago where another 747 had got stuck on the runway with wheels/brakes on fire, to a fast car out of control on a main road just missing me as I walked along the pavement, to a dreadful hotel fire in Spain, to just missing being run over by a bread delivery lorry when I fell off my motorbike in the rain on a level crossing, to a brain tumour, etc etc.

So I tread very carefully now....
 
Good Morning Tuesday 7.0 (I’d prefer to be in the 6 or 5’s) but 7.0 it is
 
Morning. A bewildering 10.8 for me. Yesterday had a good waking level but needed corrections at lunch, mid afternoon and tea despite not eating anything different or more and level of activity at work even busier than a usual Monday. Back down in range by bed but libre shows a steady rise through the night again. Just feel tired with it all now
Have a good day everyone.
 
Just checking in to say I’m still alive lol
And still waiting for test strips…
Planted up a lovely window box yesterday and then noticed that three plants in the balcony have not survived the start of spring and need replacing so, as I’m not working, I’m going to walk the 11 miles or so to my fav nursery and buy some replacements (I won’t walk back!).

Hope everyone is fine and dandy.
 
Good morning and a 5.3 for me this Tuesday. Had a very late night prepping for today so the score on the finger jabbing is a nice bonus.

Omelette and smoked salmon, coffee and berries for breakkie before another day rolls onwards.

I'm meeting some junior counsel later to provide a touch of mentorship al fresco over a gin and diet tonic before deciding what to do about food...either eating as Johnnie no friends or with them!

Wishing each and everyone the finest Tuesday imaginable.
 
@Freddie1966 congrats on your HS.
After yesterday's venture into the sixes, I'm pleased to say my reading today is 4.8. 🙂
No naughty choccies last night.

7.3 this morning. Think this lantus needs to go back up a bit, I was too overexcited reducing by 10i!
