Group 7-day waking average?

Another 6.2. I’d rather be back in the 5’s. Overcast and drizzling this morning.
 
Good morning 7.2
A bit of a high wake up reading this morning
could be the antibiotics (I’m now on the third course I’ve been on in as many weeks
Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine everybody
 
DuncanLord: yes, I can relate to that. I came down stairs one morning. Said hello to my wife and then 'how are you feeling today'. A simple question. A normal, friendly greeting. Well, she exploded. To cut a long story short, she ended up being sectioned. Whatever had been building up just let fling. Things have never been quite right since. Well, they were never 'right'. Sigh.

This morning is dark, cold, very blustery, and I have to get out there to try to get some spinnach (ugh!) for my wife. It seems to have completely disappeared from the shops round here. Not that I care. I hate the stuff.

Its a lowly 4.9 for me this morning. Happy with that.

I noticed that my wife was really struggling to open a tin of salmon the other day with our trusty and faithful manual can opener. Bought her an electric can opener. It arrived yesterday. Looks good. Not tried it yet though.
 
Yay it’s Friday ! Another hot one I fear

8.2. Been in target and mid 6’s
all night then put feet on floor and it shot up

stay cool and have a great day
 
Morning. 6.8 on this overcast day. May get some light rain. The weekend weather is supposed to be glorious so have planned a BBQ a for the family on Sunday. So, big shop looms first thing.

Got a new toy yesterday, a laminator, never had one, never used one before. I got it to laminate the walks I cut out from my walking magazine. What has my life come to? One day it’s high heels and handbags I’m excited for, now it’s laminators! 🙄 TBF it’s pretty cool. What can I laminate now? Mr Eggy better hadn’t stand still today!😛

Have a fab Friday, it’s the start of the weekend. Only a few days until we learn our fate. @DuncanLord “ To mask, or not to mask?” “ When shall we all meet again?” It’s Much Ado about Nothing! 😉

I used to periodically use sellotape to kind of laminate our take out menus by the till on the takeout counter at our restaurant: long strips of sellotape over the menu in vertical rows with slight overlaps for a semi water proof laminate finish that could be wiped clean of smudges for us to look up the prices; 2 sets of prices for restaurant & takeout of over 100 items even I, in italics, had to look up some prices sometimes even though I knew most of the most popular &, of course, had to learn a new set when prices changed! :D
 
5.5 on this dull, grey and dreary morning - come back sun!! 🙂

Dez
 
Morning all. :D 4.4 here.

Well, I don’t know which Wales the weather forecasters are predicting ‘scorchio’ weather for - it certainly isn’t this (grey, damp) Wales! I’ve got double Welsh today, so I’ll be stuck indoors anyway, but still...:(o_O😛
 
Morning all, 6.8 here. Was uploading my results from the reader to Libreview yesterday and discovered I was 0% under 4.0. First time that’s ever happened, I think, but it says more about the current sensor than my control, I usually find they read a shade low at the bottom end. My next sensor will be a Libre 2, got the change of prescription through just after I'd done last month's repeat, so had to use up those two first.
 
Good morning All,
I hope everyone is well this Friday.
@eggyg @freesia @HenryBennett @Lanny @Michael12421 Alas poor body I thought I knew it well, but now even more confused. I had no supper last night, following my post. Slept well till 03:30 when nature called for a visit to the little room. As I was concerned about sugar levels I tested and got 6.0 an increase from 23:00 when it was 5.5. Drifted back to sleep and woke this morning with a 5.4.
Oh well it is what it is.
This evening got a meeting, for the first time for an eternity with members of the Scuba Diving Club. It’s the first time the swimming pool has let us back in. Unfortunately I can’t go underwater, as I will need a complete diving medical, and you can’t get that until you have tons of results for stable blood sugars. But at least I can swim and get some exercise.
Have a great day everybody.
 
Morning. 8.6 for me, not sure what’s going on there...anyhoo...overcast here, although seems pretty warm. Off for a walk round village before it gets too warm and then bean poles and a few bits to do in the garden....actually quite a few bits I think.

HbA1c result yesterday was 50, so I’m happy with that 🙂
Haven’t seen @Spozkins about...hope you’re ok.

Right better get my trainers on. Have a good Friday everyone.

6.8 and a whopping 100.3kg.

Stressful day yesterday as it was full of arguments and recriminations.

Anyway I’m off to a local vampire centre to have blood drawn and because they want me to “just come in and have a chat with a doctor” as a result of anomalies in a very recent blood test…. I’m guessing kidney function is slightly off kilter perhaps.

Hopefully it’s nothing more untoward than that and a suggestion of more regular kidney function tests perhaps.

I’ll update you all later.

4.2 and another dead chick on the carpet for me from my fav cat, I love cat's but they are so cruel, on the other hand I had chicken for tea last night so the only difference is I ate mine and didn't catch it and I don't poo in the garden 🙂 .
 
7.7 today, damp and cloudy. Housework in the caravan yesterday and more today, how exciting. Have a good day all x
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

7:20am - 10.8 finger prick - 2 units correction and 21 units tresiba - I've increased my tresiba this morning from 20 units to 21 units to try and stop these morning highs
22:35pm - 7.7 finger prick - bedtime - bgl below 8mmol but didn't have any supper
19:22pm - 7.8 finger prick - teatime - chinese takeaway prawn fried rice - did a wild carbs guess of 60g of carbs and injected immediately before I started eating - 7 units of humalog

@ColinUK , please don't worry about your weight, you have lost the weight before you can do it again, your mental health is more important at this moment with everything you are going through.

4.9 for me this morning, after a really good yoga session last night. Thank you to those of you who encouraged let me rant yesterday and shared their own stories. I am sure I will get into a routine with my mum and one day will go back into the office.

Have a good Friday everyone.
 
A 5.7 for me at 06:10 this morning. Thick cloud yesterday and a repeat today but the forecast looks good for the weekend. One more day....
