Group 7-day waking average?

4.4 for me but once again it was achieved by a 2 unit correction a couple of hours earlier.

Lost control of my diet last night and sat and ate half a jar of peanut butter with a spoon, so had to have corrections before bed as well as Levemir to keep me in range (managed it though) with all that slow release protein and fat on top of the carbs. Must get to the shops today as no yoghurt, last bit of cream has started to curdle and the only cheese I have is mozzarella, halloumi, parmesan and cream cheese.... oh and mascapone.... Doesn't sound too bad when I list them like that but I haven't had any blue cheese for days and now out of Cheddar and red Leicester as well, which is probably why I hit the peanut butter! Bad girl!
Also a trip out into the wilds of Hexhamshire to collect some medication for my old mare Cora from the farm vets as we are getting low on anti-inflammatory and they are also getting me some samples of a supplement to try. A run out will do the Freelander good as it hasn't been anywhere for days.
 
Ah! Just thought I’d post this!

Remember the other day when my BS went from 15 to in the 5’s just shy of 90 minutes after eating & I felt very lightheaded? Well I was hypo clumsy too, albeit not technically so it was a very fast & steep rate of descent, & I posted before about how hard it is to test when I’m like that! Well, It’s happened so many times now that I just decided yesterday to contact GlucoRx via email on their website yesterday & just got a reply this morning. I think I posted before about the difficulty I have in lining up the blood drop to the tiny bit in the middle of the nexus strip but, there’s another problem I’ve had too with the nexus ultra mini monitor in that I inadvertently, when hypo clumsy, slide the tab at the side & eject the strip that hits the floor so, have to get another one from the pot while trying not to smear the blood drop: need to prick another finger if that happens; happened the other day. Sometimes all of that is just too hard & it’s jelly babies first, less shaky later before I can manage it. GlucoRx are going to send me a bigger palm size meter for free that’s easier to pick up when I’m hypo clumsy & suggested touching the strip to the site at a 45 degree angle & it will suck it up even if it’s not perfectly aligned!

Just thought I’d post that as giving feedback in complaint CAN produce results! 🙂
 
Just booked my second COVID jab for Friday.
 
5.3 for me today...so close! Worrying times as my mum fractured her hip yesterday and is in hospital so I just hope I can visit her tomorrow. My mum has Alzheimer's and is in a care home, so I just hope she gets back to familiar surroundings asap.

Hope you mum is ok
 
G'day all. 8.6 @ 6.48 all that mash last night. :(

Hope your Mum gets better soon. My Mum's Alz is speeding up a notch I think, she's forgetting more stuff and thinks she sees animals that aren't there. We are just carrying on regardless. 🙂

Oh no! @Lucy Honeychurch. I hope your mum’s doing ok.
 
So sorry to hear about your mum @Lucy Honeychurch , hope she has a speedy recovery cover and you are able to see her
 
Good Morning Tuesday 6.1 today
anxiously still waiting for GP to phone with my HbA1c results
Stay Dry Everyone
 
An early one today - 5.6 at 05:30. It’s been wet overnight but the forecast is ok until mid-afternoon.
 
4.5 Sunny here on south coast but I see clouds from the west but nice while it lasted.
 
6.7 for me this morning and another horizontal line all night in the low 7s so very happy with that and even more happy that it didn't involve any corrections. Really think things are starting to settle down at last. 2 units of Levemir again last night.

@Lucy Honeychurch So sorry to hear about your Mum's accident. Hope she makes a speedy recovery.
 
Good morning a 4.9 for me this morning.

Wife disrupted all the plans for today but it turns out to be a good change. Dog is no longer coming to us for a few days. My wife, who hates leaving the house, has volunteered to go to my daughters house to house sit the dog. I think its not about the dog but more that my wife hates anything else or anyone else in our house. Still she seems happy and it will give me a break cos I get to stay here.

We will see how it transpires

Morning. 5.8 after a much better night’s sleep.

Mr Eggy at GP 9 o’clock, I’ll drive him down and do a bit shopping whilst he’s in. Otherwise not much else going on. Weather too unpredictable at the moment to make any plans.

Have a great day everyone and congratulations @MeeTooTeeTwo on the HS.🙂
