Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 4.7 when I woke at 6am, decided it was far too early for a Sunday and went back to sleep. 2 hours later, it’s 7.3. Thanks, Dawn.
Going riding again this morning, in view of the nice weather, and before the ground gets too hard, daughter and I booked a long hack. Only now it’s supposed to rain. Oh well, we won’t melt.
 
Morning. 6.3 for me at 6.30, unfortunately nodded off again and woke to an 11.3 at 8am:(.

Spent yesterday heading off lows and woken by alarm at 1.30 for JB or 2, well 3 as it turns out...so was quite happy with my 6.3...ah well.

Had decided yesterday not to do today’s early sunny walk along to Hurst Castle, after lows yesterday, so I’m not disappointed that it’s grey and overcast this morning...sorry everyone.

Hopefully by the time the sun is out later I’ll have stopped sulking...although think I should probably stop that now, I’m not very good at it.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.🙂
 
Good Morning
6.1 today (sunday @ 7am)

The sun is shining & birds are singing (well they are here anywa)

Have a great day everybody
 
Forgot to post this earlier! 03:26 BS 5.2! :D Yay! Bang on the nose for a a rare House Special from me!😛😎😉

Just a tiny ache at the injection site left & most of my 3 bruises, from 3 sets of blood tests & a a cannula pumping in x ray dye to check for blood clots in A&E, are mostly faded: at the multicoloured stage on Wednesday when one of the health centre’s doctors checked me out before giving the vaccine to me; now at the itchy, healing stage where I can’t help but, pick at them! Slapping my wrists emoji! 😳

Already had breakfast hours ago of scrambled eggs with mushrooms, mixed herbs & reduced fat sausages with a cuppa! 😛

A rather belated, Little Miss Forgetful, Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

All the past series of The Great British Sewing Bee are on iPlayer now & been binge watching the last few days: saw all 6 series & the current series 7 up to the current episode; prefer Claudia Winkleman & most impressed by Chinelo, series 2, ability to free cut without a pattern & transferring measurements directly onto the fabric before cutting! 😱 & Clapping Hands emoji!😎

I used to do that and put stuff in the loft just in case & glad I did but this time I can't turn back so clothes off to charity shops or make T-Shirts into tents & sell them on ebay :D .
 
6.8 for me this morning. Jabbed myself 5u Fiasp and 19u Levemir and set the alarm today then went back to sleep and woke to a nice 5.7 half an hour later. Got up and got breakfast straight away and managed not to dip into the red at all.... perfect! Had really weird dreams in that last half hour lie in though!

Off to deliver a swarm of bees that I captured yesterday afternoon off the garage roof. Took 3 stings in the arm and back whilst at the top of the ladder trying to brush them off the hot slates before I gave in and went to find my bee suit and wracked my brain for a different tactic, so I've got a red itchy arm this morning but interestingly very little BG effect from being stung. Came up with a much better option of holding a cardboard box over them and allowing them to climb into it as they were quite relieved to get off the hot roof and into some shade. Took numerous trips up the ladder and standing at the top of it holding the box on the roof whilst I watched approx 10,000 of them swirl around on the slates and gradually walk into the box. Quite mesmerizing if it wasn't that my BG levels were dropping with the exertion and heat.
They are going to a guy who hasn't kept bees himself, but his father did, so it is nice that he is now taking it up himself and hopefully these girls will do well for him. So 2 trips out for me today as I am going to my sister's for dinner this afternoon. So exciting! Must get a wriggle on! Hope everyone has a good day.
 
Morning all. After ANOTHER 3am alarm and correction, i woke to an 8.7. Think i'm going to have to up my basal again as its making a right mess of my TIR. Will see what happens.

Well, its raining here, was supposed to be later but looks like its drizzling all day now.

@pm133, we've all had those conversations and forgot to bolus lol.
@Birdy i hope your day goes ok
@Gwynn and @Lanny congrats on your HS

I can't believe this week has gone so quickly, back to work tomorrow! Have a good day whatever you are planning.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

7:56am - 10.1 finger prick - waking - 2 units correction - 20 units tresiba
22:55 - 6.2 finger prick - bedtime - no supper
19:06 - 6.3 finger prick - teatime
 
Morning All,
6.0 for me this morning. Perhaps the 3 digestive biscuits were not needed at bedtime but as BG was 5.0 I didn’t want to drop overnight
Confused yes about speed of absorption of insulin at teatime plus whether I’d used it all and also rates of glycemic index for buttered digestive biscuits.
There again 6.0 is with in range, so does it matter. I’m here and the sun is shining in Essex this morning
Have a great day.

So nice to hear that people are helping out our furry stingy friends I have been planting out plenty of bee friendly plants this year I hate it when people just get a pest control out to kill them.

I’m never going back to my XL, so they’re going out of the house to a charity shop.

I love all bees, but am allergic to their stings. Well done on collecting them and then taking them to a good home.

Having to change Blood Glucose meter for tomorrow’s readings. This is due to DVLA wanting results stored on meter or meters. The meter only stores 450 results and then overwrites. Therefore every about 8 weeks I’m going to have to change meter. Using Gluco/RX Q meter, as that’s what doctors and hospitals supply.
Tonight’s bedtime reading on old meter, 5.7.
Same drop of blood tested on new Meter. 6.5
No way to actually calibrate meter just QC it with the test strips.
oh well let’s see what happens!
