Group 7-day waking average?

So it seems there’s something afoot with my kidney function.
Dr says it may be an odd test results but the number has been dropping slowly for a while anyway.
The bloods taken last time were delayed going to the lab so that may have screwed the results. However they are repeating all the tests and I’ll get the results next week.
If necessary they’ll refer me to a consultant.
They did stress that it wasn’t anything to be worried about right now but I’m certainly going to be on the list for regular kidney function testing going forward.
Let’s see what the results are.
 
6.1 for me this morning. Had a really good day with my levels yesterday and then last night they started to drift upwards and needed 2 corrections before bed :( so my reduction in morning Levemir started to have an impact in the evening and I may need to take evening Levemir a bit earlier or change my evening meal ratio or probably the best option... get out for more exercise after my evening meal.
 
Fingers crossed that everything is OK @ColinUK
 
@ColinUK
Hope all is Ok with the re-done test results.
Keep smiling, even if it’s difficult at times. It also uses less energy, as less muscles are used, to smile rather than to frown.
 
5.6 here this morning and a pretty dark, cold, wet, miserable morning it looks too. But that leaves lots of room for it to get better. I will wander out to the beach in a while. Didn't get out yesterday for a walk.

Good morning. And it’s a 6.0 from me today.
 
4 for me and once the sun comes out I'm off in the garden decking oil today & pottering.
 
A welcome return to the 5’s for me this morning with a 5.6. Enjoy the weekend everybody.
 
4.9 for me this morning. 🙂

Good morning sunny Saturday
8.0 @ 05:45 - no work today but woke up early (taking antibiotics every 6 hrs)

Have a great weekend everybody
 
Morning folks. 6.7 today, I may have had a sneaky piece of shortbread before bed when I didn’t t need it! 🙄 I can’t be a paragon of virtue ALL the time.

Anyhoo, up early as babysitting eldest daughter’s tribe of three. She’s dropping them off before work, and this evening her and hubby are going out for the first time since before the pandemic. I’ve now just realised she doesn’t start until 11 on a Saturday as opposed to 10 through the week. I could have had another hour in bed! Ah well, another hour’s peace before they descend on us like locusts!

Was excited to receive a letter yesterday, inviting me to book an ENT appointment to see someone about my ear problem. I had four choices of clinics. Great, I thought. Logged in, tried nearest first, no appointments. Next nearest, no appointments. Then the next two. No appointments! What a waste of paper and postage, and my time! There was a “ box” to enter my contact details ( which I assume they should have) to ask THEM to make me an appointment. If I haven’t heard from them by 26th June, I’ve to contact them by phone to make an appointment! What an absolute farce! I’m not happy. Why couldn’t they just have made me an appointment in the first place? 😡

Have a smashing Saturday, dry up here but cloudy. It could be worst I suppose. 🙂

My friend had this with a Thyroid appointment none available on the list, so rang contact number and confirmed the was not any. We decided it was just them fulfilling the tick boxes.
 
Morning all. :D 8.4 here...what now?o_O😛 I’m looking forward to next week’s online course for T1 (thanks for the heads-up @everydayupsanddowns) - I feel like I know nothing about glucose control, after nearly 13 years trying to tame the beast!😎

The weather forecast for the weekend looks fabulous. Shame it looks nothing like the actual weather LOL. 🙂 I’m going out for the day with a couple of artist friends whose work is in the exhibition we’re going to see, then a spot of lunch. There’s a fab Welsh bookshop in the nearby town, where the staff happily suffer Welsh learners’ language-mangling attempts - let’s see if I can make their ears sting!

Happy weekending ev1.
 
Morning. 9.9 for me...what?! ...possibly more protein in dinner and not so many carbs....who knows...not me that’s for sure. Everyday is a school day...well to be honest I was quite puzzled a lot of the time at school🙄 (maybe I should look at the course too @Bloden?)

Anyhoo, cricket today for my husband, so I’m going to have a lovely potter in the garden and a bit of upholstery project when it gets too warm.

Gorgeous morning, so a walk round the village first.

Have a lovely day everyone! 🙂

This is all my tech-unsavvy capabilities can rustle up @Lisa66 for access to the course. I can’t find the thread it was posted in either, der. Anyone else know where it was posted? 😳 :D
