Group 7-day waking average?

4.5 this morning.
Just discovered that my bird feeding station I made is going to cost a fortune, they have emptied all 4 feeding pods already and it's only been up 2 days. I have a scope on a tripod in the summer room so sit with a coffee watching them, they are very aggressive and rude I'm trying to get then to queue nicely & keep 6ft apart but they don't listen :D. Looking forward to Paddle boarding on the river Hamble on my week off then Tattoo's Thursday it's a mid life crisis never have had a tattoo in case I regretted it but I'm of an age where I don't care anymore it's a rather nice feeling.

Are you ok with hummus?
I know that it plays havoc with my levels from about half an hour after having any and probably for the next four hours.

I’ve always been fine with it yes. When I was really under control before pregnancy I was having it regularly for lunch.
 
Morning peeps.:D 6.7 here.

Doesn’t anyone have a Saturday lie-in?😳🙂

@Maca44 This is the midlife crisis tattoo a fellow teacher had done when he turned 50 (his daughter designed it). Boy, was he in crisis!FA078310-5017-471D-ACE2-6D0A691D3769.jpeg! 😛
 
Morning all. 11.9 for me. At least it’s not up in the 15s!
Also since last Sunday I’ve lost about 6lb

I like that but I'm going to have one on each inner forearm it's a very personal thing so not getting covered. Funny thing when looking at designs online, one guy had a scene of a Foxhunt (Which I hate) all across his back and a tail of a Fox poking out of his bum hole (Sorry can't find a better word to describe it) mad but different I suppose.
 
Morning folks, 7.1 her and going out for breakfast and a meal this evening. Am also going to look for some new worktops and sink for our caravan kitchen which is being done in October. Have a good day all x

I have 12 feeders and fill them every two days! They cost me a fortune but it’s my favourite thing to do. If you haven’t already, get sunflower hearts, less waste but more expensive, but it’ll bring the finches for certain. I’m watching a green finch, a gold finch and loads of sparrows and jackdaws at this precise moment.

Suppose it’s safer than getting a motorbike!
I was planning on a lie in as had a busy week, but alas, it wasn’t to be. Awake since 5.30, got up at 7.
 
Morning All
On waking at 07:50 I’ve got a BG of 5.8. Perhaps ate too many carbs after my 1000 meter swim last night as at bedtime it was 5.5.
This morning cutting AM dose of insulin from 3 units to 2 units. This is following talk with diabetes nurse, yesterday. It was my suggestion as when I put a 3 or 4 km walk into the equation I’m needing to eat to avoid dropping. She thought it was early in my diabetic life to be suggesting such a thing but did agree to the cut, if I watch levels closely. She is also wondering if I’m one of those LADA patients. If they are a special kind, with funny symptoms, yes I can see that.
Have a great Saturday.

At the moment I have young sparrows as I have just filled the seed pods but once I get the fat balls today (Pack of 50 Methinks) all the young starlings take over, have 2 Pigeons having it off on the summer house roof as well isn't nature wonderful :D .

F-type Jag is next on the list I keep telling my wife my XF is getting old so a 5ltr supercharged F-type would make more sense but she is not going for it so the next move will be to say I will get motor bike instead so I can go riding with my son then maybe she will come round to the idea 😉.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

07:05am - 3.6 - waking - 21 units of tresiba - didn't feel hypo - no idea why this happened - had 3 jelly babies to treat hypo
23:10pm - 5.4 - bedtime - had 2 rich tea fingers 8g of carbs also had some cheddar cheese
20:16pm - 4.2 - teatime - tested before meal - bolused after meal - chinese takeaway prawn fried rice - a very naughty 127g of carbs but I do love my chineses - reduced insulin a bit

We’ve a 3 litre F Type. 5 litre a bit noisy I thought. That was our retirement present to ourselves although to be fair Mr Eggy’s choice! I don’t drive it much, just to Tesco and back!
