Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Just caught up after a long weekend off line. Had a fantastic relaxing time. BBQ on Saturday in the sunshine and then Greek Roast Lamb in the garden on Sunday. I got my son's pool up and filled yesterday and I've just sorted the pump. heater and chemicals so might have to have a dip later.

5.6 at 04:53 Sunday, 5.6 at 05:09 yesterday and 5.1 at 05:52 this morning which I'm happy with.
 
6.8 for me this morning and a pretty straight line overnight which doesn't happen very often, so really happy with that. Looks like my basal dose is right for the moment with 20 in the morning and 6 units at bedtime. I was down to 16 and 3 last week but had to increase them again.
Probably won't be about tomorrow morning as we are taking Zak to compete in the Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh. 3 hours there and 3 back plus the time we spend at the show, so it will be a long day and I have beasties here to sort before we go and when we get back. Much as Zak is a star, I am not expecting that we will do well because we don't have the money to spend to compete at that level and "Zak" doesn't have the "right breeding"... he was born of unknown and mixed parentage on a tether in an industrial estate, so he is the horse equivalent of a mongrel dog, but all the better for it in my opinion and he is multitalented as he can drive and hunt and show jump. If we don't come last, then that will be an achievement I think. I'm really not very keen on showing, but need to support Ian with this. Hope he doesn't come away too disappointed!
 
4.8 this morning, a very disappointing run last night, but considering my car was still saying 28 degrees I am proud of myself for getting out there.

@Michael12421 - hope you have a better day today, take things easy and look after yourself.

@ColinUK - Hope work is easy on you today, re the therapy zoom call, I had to attend group therapy session (although for a different kind of abuse to yours), but I always found them very emotional and draining, and to be honest initially I tried to hold back my emotions and was determined I wasn't going to cry in front of other people, but once I learned that it was a safe place to show my emotions I did find it a useful thing to do. Take care.

Have a nice day everyone.

Good luck at he Royal Highland Show. There are far more important aspects than 'breeding' both in animals of all kinds and in humans. So many 'well bred' humans show a distinct lack of respect, compassion and understanding of the so-called lesser orders that it does, in my opinion, call into question the extent of their breeding.

He is very good at what he does but I find his mouth very distracting as he doesn't seem to move his top lip when he talks.
The problem in most places in the UK for observing anything in the sky at night is the light pollution.
Hope you have a better day today.

Haha I know what you mean but I think he’s quite nice to look at all the same. I am genuinely interested in what he has to say though. Always had a fascination with all things space etc myself.
 
Just off the phone with the clinic and kidney function results are fine. >90
So retest in 3m as per normal and out this down to the courier mucking up the delivery to the lab.
A relief nevertheless!

That is good news @ColinUK
 
Just had an email from work, National Express Ltd, or should I say one of the support workers at the depot.
I’m currently off sick, as can’t do driving job, due to DVLA and my class 2 license.
Before all this started in March, NX decided to put all drivers through a medical every two and a half years rather than the DVLA 5 years or longer for drivers under 45 years of age. A good idea.
This was being arranged for me but the diagnosis has held things up somewhat.
When I saw the Driver Managers about a month ago one said they doubted if I’d get the license back.
Yesterday I spoke to the depot about that medical and the Operation Manager has said,”Leave it until my consultant, from the diabetes team, has the medical information to re-apply to DVLA.”
Are they betting that I won’t get it back, or hoping that I don’t due to difficulties with ‘ disability at work’?
Makes me even more determined to prove them wrong! It’s also annoyed me, the way they are trying to write me off!

I've been saying this since I woke to a 6.5 at 8am. My numbers are gradually coming down after scoffing all the wrong stuff for a week or so!!! I seem to have developed a sweet tooth during lockdown but attempting to get back on the wagon ~ watch this space! 🙂
Hope everyone is ok.

I’m glad you two found the programmes interesting. :D I sat there listening to him droning on for about 15 minutes, all the while wondering if anyone could possibly be interested in what he was saying LOL. We’re all different!o_O😛
