Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.7 on this beautiful morning on Arran.

Had a fabulous walk yesterday up to a mountain loch. Never managed to summit the mountain/ hill/ fell, not sure what it was, as halfway up the weather looked very ominous. Snow and dark clouds so we were sensible and walked back the way we came. We don’t like doing that but we did the right thing as there was a rumbling of thunder then hail and even once at the bottom, rain! Still managed an ascent of 400 meters,7.5 miles and 130 floors! Need to be careful today, as if I’m not I’ll be chasing hypos all day. A less strenuous walk today to a stone circle, a forest and a low lying loch.

See you all tomorrow for more tales from a Scottish island. 🙂

Congratulations @HenryBennett on your HS.

9.5 for me this morning. Took about 45 minutes for my glucose to go up from 3.8 at bedtime so I overdid it and ended up needing a small correction overnight. Levels are a bit more stable but my bg spiked to 18 after my evening meal of homemade veg soup last night despite it being low carb and having no active insulin. It sdd come down after, infact it went low and I really don't know what can cause a hyper that high and a hypo in one meal (no extra insulin) Hey-ho, more luck on day 3.

@rebrascora congrats on your lower bg this morning and good instincts, always an added bonus when we get it right.

@Lisa66 do you have any pictures of things you've done? I find it very interesting but my fingers are not coordinated enough, shamefully I can barely stitch! And to answer your question - yes, I love being outdoors in nature and so I just like to get in and snap everything I find.
 
Morning all, 7.3 here, probably vaccine induced. No side effects as such, but something’s been going round kicking different parts of my body since yesterday evening.
You don’t need to go all the way to Scotland for the weather, @eggyg (though I dare say the scenery is better) we had ominous black clouds approaching, thunder and hail yesterday too. Fine for me, I was inside, but daughter was out for a walk and sent me photos of her progress, including the final one of her covered in huge lumps of hail!
 
Morning all I'm down here on 3.5, biscuit time!

Going to get my 2nd vaccine today at the Fire station hope there’ll be some firemen around last time I only saw the engines!

Nice HS work @HenryBennett

Have a good day out there, stay safe.

mine is 27.5 ignored by diabetes doctor no help did not contact me for telephone appt as planned now going to write to me-don't see why-don't know when=delay tactics don't want a penpal just help for high sugar.
 
Just heard news from home, Lawrence our Golden Labrador, part of the family for 6 years has seemingly died in his sleep and was found by my wife...:( A dreadful piece of news. The kids are in pieces...

I will have to put it out of my head as I am about to present for over an hour and then I can deal with the news and process it...

He was a great companion with a super personality and had just been given a green light on all counts by the vet. Just goes to show...

With my heart racing off I go to present in a Covid secure way...Wish me luck!

That sounds frustrating. Are you able to take a correction dose of insulin and drink plenty?

Oh how terrible, I hope you are able to put it out of your mind to get through the presentation then spend some time processing it. My dog died suddenly last year, not particularly elderly, and it took a good few weeks to get my head around it. Still miss her a year later, pets are such a big part of our lives.

6.7 this morning. The sun appears to be in the sky and nice and bright today better than the last week or so of rain! Have a good day.

@Kaylz. Hope you’re doing ok. Take care of yourself.
@Clifton it sounds like an interesting few days for you. I have career envy!

5.3 this morning. No food last night as I couldn’t manage to open my mouth after big filling at the dentist.

I am you can keep focused @Clifton but so sorry to hear your news this morning.
Congrats on HS @henry
I hope that you find a nice fireman there this time @Flower
hope today was better for you @freesia
Enjoy and easier walk today @eggyg and good to hear you were sensible yesterday.
Thanks for the chuckle @KARNAK

It looks like cold weather everywhere today.
I have an outdoor Pilates class this morning!! I shall wrap up and hope that the rain stay away.
 
Morning all, crunchy underfoot when I went over to the green to feed the birds, bright sunshine now. Sparkly. 9.1 @ 6.20 and couldn't believe it, so used new strip but same blob of blood, same reading! Good grief. I thought the strip might be wonky. :(

Sorry about your dog Clifton. :(

That’s terrible news to receive when you’re away from home. My sympathies. I hope the day goes well for you.
