Group 7-day waking average?

Very pleased to report a 4.2 this morning. 🙂
Thankfully I had a strong gut instinct last night not to increase my basal by the 2 units I had intended and I am so pleased I followed it or it would have been a night of hypos. I actually woke up at 6.30am on 4.4 feeling a bit rough (slight hangover from my port yesterday😱) but decided that FOTF/DP would be kicking in soon so had a couple of paracetamol and went back to sleep and my levels held steady for the next 2 hours, so I am very happy about that too.

Must head to the shops today as I am out of dairy produce and since it is wet and miserable, it seems a good day to do it.
 
Another 5.5 for me at 05:55 this morning. A bit calmer this morning than last night. I had to go out around 22:00 to turn the car alarm off after the wind had triggered it and I could barely stand up!

Got to bob to the farm shop later for some meat for the next few days but otherwise a day in the (home) office

8.8 this morning. Not having done much exercise for a couple of months other than walking I booked a swim at our local lido. Brrr...going to be a bit choppy I think but bracing.

It’s Baltic here in NI.
 
Afternoon.
5.8

Busy week this week with lawyers and also with the VRI which I had thought was last month.
Couple of other things going on too so may well be unusually quiet on here for a bit.
Cxx
 
I hope all goes well for you @ColinUK
 
I hope things go well for you too @ColinUK , but always nice to see you when you can pop in.

@Peely66 oh my goodness! Is all I can think to say😳

@Spozkins I strip old chairs down and reupholster them. Only capable of minor wonky frame fixing, but would love to find some sort of carpentry course to be able to do a bit more. Actually, the part I have most trouble with is choosing the top fabric...takes me ages to decide 🙄

I love the picture in your avatar (?)...is photography a hobby?

I hope you’re having s better day today, sometimes there’s just no explain what’s going on...I’ve had 2 days going higher and 2 days going lower, can’t see much difference between anything I’ve been doing...ah well....onwards.🙂

Morning all from a much calmer and dryer Arran. 6.9, overdone the Coop’s finest sun dried tomato and herb sourdough bread with my chicken salad. Ach well, I’m on holiday.

Yesterday was a total wash out. 50mph winds, torrential rain and sleet. 3 degrees! Brrr!!! We actually got out the cottage, needed to go to the Coop which is on the other side of the island. Took the long way round, as you do, circumnavigated the whole island. 57 miles! That was an expensive loaf of sourdough bread! We did see lots though, Alisa Craig and Padda island through the murk. Lots of snow on the higher mountains too. We’re off walking today, just local from the cottage, lots of fantastic walks around us. Might do a mountain too.

Hope it gets dryer and warmer for everyone. Have a good day. 🙂

I never bother to record readings in holiday. They will all be one offs and as you say you are on holiday so make it as much of a Diabetes holiday as you can.

So an afternoon of upholstery...finished a chair for my daughter. Off to the upholstery shop first thing for supplies for next project.

Just done my piano stool and someone leant me her magnetic ended upholstery hammer. Brilliant. No bruised thumb or fingers. I hope you get all you need.
 
All the best @ColinUK .

6.0 this morning. Off to early (for me) Pilates and it was so cold. Sun out now but still very cold.
Dentist next With a broken tooth. A bit of an MOT day.

Good news!
 
A busy night ahead with lots of research and reading to be done for tomorrow's full session. I'm also speaking, so that will send the BG haywire I'm sure...

Didn't have lunch...so will have a protein filled dinner to make up...

BG just taken and it's 5.2 - doesn't count though as I've been up for 10.5 hours!

Here's the choice at the hotel....

Scallops or steak tartare and ? Need advice!

My advice is enjoy what promises to be a very tasty meal.
However Steak tartare sounds less carbs than scallops
but the beetroot sounds VERy tasty. Enjoy your meal.

You know that things will be wobbly tomorrow with you speaking.
simply manage as best you can.
 
Ooooooo. It ALL sounds fabulous. I know I am not being much help.

I am sat here having just had a vlarge filling in a broken tooth,
so limiting myself to scrambled egg when the injection wears off.
I shall add some mushrooms and ham, but I think I prefer your menu.
