Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. :D 6.9 here.

Got a Welsh oral exam (no, not a check-up with a Welsh-speaking dentist) this morning. Then off to my local surgery to see if I’m allowed my recent blood test results - I’m still learning what is and isn’t usual practice in the Welsh NHS compared to N. Spain. Hopefully, I’m allowed!

Enjoy your pampering @eggyg!

Thank you @Lanny and @eggyg for not revealing the result of Sewing Bee. I caught up with it last night, it was certainly a close run thing!

Conversation starter. Activities that polarise us.

England v Scotland - football today, but in anything

Brian Cox v Sewing Bee?
I don’t care what BC looks like and I’ve never even homed in on his top lip. But I do find him extremely interesting and articulate, and very talented at explaining complicated concepts.
And I’d rather watch grass growing than watch a sewing bee.

Each to his own. C’mon Eng-er-land!

Can’t say any of those rock my boat, mine would be Sudoko v Mahjong.
 
6.2 this morning. Almost zero sleep.
 
Good morning everyone. 5.7 after a correction in the early hours - BG levels having a mind of their own at the moment. Leaving at lunchtime to pick up a canal boat for the weekend and it’s pouring with rain. I hope the rain will stop so that I can sit in the wheelchair and steer the boat. First adult holiday on a canal boat so very exciting 🙂
 
8.6 for me which is a bit disappointing but I went to bed on 8.4 with an upward sloping arrow so what can I expect! I was so tempted to have a 1 unit correction at bedtime, but I had had a bit of a naughty hypo earlier and not supposed to correct after a hypo, so I was good and followed the rules. At least I didn't go into double figures and TIR is still 91% with only 2% below for this week so reasonably happy with that even if average glucose is higher than I would like.

Still no rain here for weeks now but due some on Sunday.

@ColinUK I can't believe you are still functioning with the limited amount of sleep you have been getting over the past few months, let alone achieving a BG in the 6s! I am guessing you are not using sleeping tablets at the moment but that might be something to try to see if you can get your body back into a sleep pattern. Hoping you can get beyond this zombie zone you are in soon.

@merrymunky Stick at it girl! Those levels have to start coming down soon. What are your other pre and post prandial levels like. Hopefully you are seeing some improvement with those. We all know those morning fasting readings are the last to come down but they do eventually. Look for other positives like weight reduction or waist reduction etc or clothes just feeling a bit more comfortable to keep you motivated.
 
5.1 this morning, will go back and read everyone's posts later. Had an appointment with the nurse this morning, everything has improved since last time except my HbA1C which is back upto 64, I have a telephone call with the diabetes nurse later this morning to see if they are going to change my meds, give me more time to get back onto track etc. But feeling very disappointed in myself despite everything I have been through in the last few months, I have brought all this on myself. I am not normally one for wallowing in self-pity, so I am going to let myself sit here and feel ashamed of myself today, then use this as a building block to making even more adjustments and getting my numbers back under control. I have done it before, I can do it again.
 
@ColinUK yes a few nights of Zopiclone Methinks just to give your brain a rest nothing wrong with that short term, my GP prescribes me some when things get out of hand so I always have some on standby but you do need self control to only use every now and then.

Baby steps no rush and no putting yourself under pressure it's just a number that you know you can control.
