Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. :D Is there room for one more on the naughty step this morning?😉 14.4 eek for me after a meal out last night and two overnight corrections. I wasn’t expecting to go THAT high. Red-faced in shame emoji.

Had a phone consultation with surgery DSN, Mary, yesterday. She’s all for me getting a pump and says the pump dr and DSN at the local hospital are fab. Let’s see if the other consultant remembers to refer me this time - if not, I’ve to ring Mary and she’ll get the ball rolling. Exciting!

Lovely pic @eggyg.😛

That certainly is a mountain of food.
 
Morning all, 6.5 here, but my BGs were inexplicably in double figures for a lot of yesterday, despite doing a lot of gardening (not even my own garden, I was tackling daughter’s). Are you sure the Diabetes Fairy is still safely buried, @Northerner , a lot of people (you included) seem to be having their levels tweaked by mysterious outside forces at the moment.

Morning all. Another 7 for me again today. Which isn’t surprising after our Indian feast. Snap @HenryBennett! You coped better than me!

Everyone enjoyed it, but my goodness, what a pile of food arrived! We ordered for 9 although there was 12 of us, baby Zara declined the vindaloo, but it could have fed the entire village! We know the restaurant really well as it’s literally 100 yards down the road. Firstly, they gave us a very good discount and extra food and presented Mr Eggy with a bottle of wine as it was his birthday. Everyone went home with doggy bags and my freezer has saag aloo, tarka dahl, vegetable pilau and two garlic naans in residence! Mr Eggy had a great day and to put the icing on the cake, England won their match. Not that I was watching as I was on cleaning up and watering the garden duty.

Now to get ready for our trip to the Lakes. More food and drink! Also the girls bought their dad ( and me I suppose) a Rick Stein Lobster Thermidor meal kit, three courses and a bottle of expertly paired wine! It’s coming Saturday! Creon and NovaRapid at the ready!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. 🙂

Today's reading, exactly 5 on the nose and fingertip. 🙂
Got the results of last week's blood tests and toe tickling session with the DSN. All normal - HbA1c 36. :D
Even scored the lowest ever BP reading of 120/70 whilst at a surgery (chronic white coat syndrome sufferer me)
I must be doing something right. 😎

Have a great day everyone.

Morning. Disappointing 8.8 for me this morning and that was after correcting a 12 at 4am. What is going on?! I heard the Libre alarm and was expecting it to be low...or incorrect....12 confirmed by finger prick. I’m kind of slightly reassured that others are having unexpected highs too. @Robin your day sounds like my Monday.

Anyhoo...it’s a lovely sunny morning and we’re off to Devon for the day....haven’t been for over a year...am very excited. Need to limber up to hopefully beat my husband at my favourite crazy golf “course” , tbh the only thing I can beat him at. (That and Absolute Balderdash). Loser buys the ice cream

Have a good day everyone...hope there are no BG surprises for anyone today 😎
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

Well here's a surprise for me I don't think
7:26am - 3.4 waking - had 19 units of tresiba and 3 jelly babies
7:46 - 3.9 - another 3 jelly babies - at this rate I'll be looking like a jelly baby lol
8:05 - 4.8 - hooray although still low - breakfast in an hour - not at the moment because still enjoying my last bit of a lie in before work
23:14pm - 4.6 - bedtime - had some chicken, cheese and 3 rich tea fingers of 12g of carbs - no humalog
 
Low 3.5 this morning had salad for tea and low carb day yesterday + 5mile walk 2 of which was running. Got private cholesterol results after stopping statins and it's up so GP's call methinks will have to go back on them, no Biggy but worth a try coming off.

Perfect day for our Paddle boarding lessons on the river Hamble in a couple of hours.
 
Good Morning All,
@Northerner That mysterious force is definitely tweaking our results!
Last two days had roughly same carbs and calories at meal times at about same time.
Last night went from 5.8 at 20:50 to 5.0 at 23:10, night before it only dropped to 5.7.
had Coffee and Cream crackers and low and behold this morning at 07:30 a 5.5.
Note to self, label which fingers give high or low results on prick, so it might be able to duplicate results. Lol.
@Robin Please leave the Diabetes Fairy buried!

Have a great day.
 
Morning

It's an 11 for me, too many biscuits, hard to tell what they amount to when they are the ones that have been left due to being broken into bits, ah well never mind, fresh biscuits being put in the tub today 🙄

Hopefully today is the last day Bruce will have off work for workmen, he had his new boiler and radiators installed last Thursday, electrician didn't show to finish the job so he was told to call in the morning, they called him back saying electrician couldn't get to him until Tuesday so he phoned his boss to say he needed yesterday off, anyway he slept in yesterday so I told him to phone and see if the electrician had attempted to be, good job I told him to phone as he was told the job had been logged but not passed on to the electrician so he wouldn't be until today! Phoned his boss again and he wasn't happy but nothing Bruce can do, fingers crossed!

Good morning 🙂
Did you do a correction for the 11? Hope you enjoyed your broken biscuits - were they eaten at bedtime and did you take insulin for them?
 
Morning all. Lovely here again. Out at 5 digging, put tons of foxgloves in and a little oak, not our garden, some land down the bottom of the road, rushed back, back again with 2 full watering cans, then measured as no time before, 8.7 @ 6.14 and also interesting bled like a stuck pig, didn't notice at first as usually have trouble getting any blood out at all. 🙂

Have a good day all. Hope you have a cracking week @SueEK to make up for that bad day. 🙂

Lovely to see you again @Kaylz 🙂
