Group 7-day waking average?

Good Morning woke up to 7.1 @ 6:30 today
had a low before bed yesterday (4.3@10:30 pm)
 
Slightly hung over, so an hour later than usual. An HS for me and average of 5.7 over the week.
Nice bright sunshine at the mo.

Nearly BG twins Northie! I got a 7.4 after multiple overnight alarms for being below 4.8 and suspended basal insulin. Basal pattern needs a bit more of a tweak then!

Congrats on the HS @HenryBennett and @Lanny (I count it!)
 
Morning all from the beautiful Isle of Arran. A 5.3! Just a red squirrel’s whisker away. Sitting looking over to the sea at the moment. Also watching the antics of the resident above mentioned squirrel. Within minutes of us arriving at the cottage, he was in the garden. I’ve spotted a few red squirrels in my time but they’ve always been too fast to observe and definitely have never managed to get any photos. It’s made my holiday. 🙂

Have a smashing Sunday.
@HenryBennett well done on the hangover, oh and the HS! 😉

Good morning from a very tired Gwynn.

Yesterday was very odd. Wife was very very bad in the morning and very very good in the afternoon/evening. It all stresses me out terribly. However, we ended the day on a good note.

I have to be kind to her as she lives in a world of perpetual fear. Not a nice place to be.

Today will be a whole new unpredictable game, hopefully good.

BG 5.4 for me at 6am so that makes me happy.

Chocolate eclair from M&S later on this evening. Hmmmm.

Lamb for lunch. Not keen on lamb. But I said that we would try it this weekend.

What's happened to the nice bank holiday weather. Its been very cold and it looks like more rain today too. I though it was a rule that the May bank holiday is always hot, sunny, and dry.

Oh well.
 
Snap @goodybags a 7.1 for me also. Going home early today as our granddaughters 7th Birthday today. Presents are mainly LOL orientated, she’s mad about them. She’s having her birthday party on the 23rd as she didn’t have one last year and not allowed just yet this year.
@HenryBennett congrats on the HS
@eggyg a rare sight indeed these days, don’t remember the last time I saw a red squirrel x
Have a good day all x
 
Morning all and 5.9 for me.

Get some rubbish cleared from the garden this morning before the rain arrives. A fire will be involved so at least it'll be warm.

Snooker may also be involved as it's the final at the Crucible today and tomorrow.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all. 5.4 for me today. 🙂

Starting to really struggle with this now! 14.5 this morning!
Increased Levemir by another unit last night and another unit this morning. Probably not enough but I am worried about what happens when the wind changes and I (hopefully... at some point) don't need all this extra insulin anymore.

I am also losing control of my diet. I had 2 dark chocolate digestive biscuits at bedtime last night and a hot chocolate (all bolused for) followed by a weak coffee with cream just because I was desperately in need of comfort food. These high levels are making me feel agitated. I also seem to be struggling with hayfever again which happened for a day or 2 after the first vaccine too and is unusual for me. Just feel under the weather and panicking a bit about my high levels.
I have jabbed my largest doses ever this morning of 9 units of Fiasp plus 26 of Levemir and waiting to see what effect that is going to have and when I can think about having breakfast!
 
Morning all. After a roller coaster of levels yesterday (low followed by normal, hypo followed by massive rebound, a 5 at bedtime so had a biscuit then graph showed i was 11-12 all night 🙄 ) woke to 8.2. Hope its more level today.
@eggyg, sounds like a relaxing start to your holiday. Love the photo, have a good time.
@rebrascora i hope your levels settle soon.

5.4 this morning. Good morning co-posters!

Cool, sunny morning on the Sunday paper run with our dog the smiling Lawrence commencing at 0700, followed by a stop to grab a coffee and for the household (not me -iccchhh) freshly baked pains au chocolat and baguettes. I had poached eggs and carb envy instead!

Schedule upside down as the case I was involved in last week is adjourned for 3 weeks because of illness and subsequent availability issues, so staying in Bristol till Tuesday and flying to Amsterdam then train to the Hague till Friday or Saturday. At least the preparation and meetings can now take place for this ahead of the curve, so something good came out of the unexpected adjournment. First time near an airport since Jan 2020!

Holiday booked in Scotland on the Isle of Skye for ½ term and fingers crossed we can get to Mallorca later on...but waiting to see. If not, plan B has yet to be formulated.

Madame is off with the kids in the new Jemima SUV truck and I am pottering in the garden (with the newspapers and a coffee)...

Have a super duper Sunday all!

I love them to bits and it’s mutual. It’s just that sometimes it’s hard knowing what to say to them and what to hold back.
Partly it’s acknowledging their ages and not wanting to cause them any distress or worry.
They loved my home and it’s the first time they’ve seen it in person.
And we strolled to a very local Italian caffe I love and they can see exactly why it’s so popular as it’s obvious everything is cooked with heart.
All in all it was a lovely time 🙂

Brilliant!
 
Morning all, 9.4 for me this morning. Just started to watch series 1 of Line of Duty, wanting to see what all the fuss is about.
