Group 7-day waking average?

Seems like it is a morning of highs or lows today. I am of course joining the group of highs with an 8.5. I will take that though.
I had rather too much to drink last night and ate very late (midnight) then headed up the hill to check on horses and move the electric fence back, give Rascal his obligatory tummy tickle etc. before home to bed. There is clearly no justice in the world because I slept well and woke up at 7am feeling far more refreshed than I usually do with not a trace of a hangover. Only problem is that I clearly didn't give it enough thought on timing my big blow out as I had to collect an early morning urine sample for my appointment today and then a blood sample at 10.30am and I dread to think what that alcohol will do to the results!! Can't decide whether to confess in advance or just wait and see. Will probably confess. I really enjoyed my evening though! Tried a new rum last night "Dead Man's Fingers" and it was rather good. Might be a new favourite.

Anyway, must hit the shower now and do some final foot maintenance in prep for my toe tickle. Hope everyone has a good day.

Hi Frankie. Good to see you found your way here. Welcome to the thread. What have you been decorating and more importantly what colour?
 
A 4.6 for me at 05:17 this morning. Looks like being a glorious sunny day here in West Berks.

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?

Yes of course I took a correction for the 11 and yes they were eaten at bedtime due to being too low to go to bed on as I have an issue with dropping through the night so no, no insulin given as it would totally defeat the purpose xx
 
Well it turns out my appointment wasn't with the new diabetes trained nurse but with the community health worker and just a 10min appt, so bloods taken and urine sample submitted, BP and weight measured and recorded.... both a bit higher than I would like but she was quite happy with them. Didn't have time for a toe tickle etc so she made an appointment for me with the nurse I thought i was going to see today, for a review, toe tickle, injection site check etc and there will be a DSN in clinic with her that day so happy about that. Seems like I am getting 4 for the price of one.... Community health worker today, consultant next week and then DN and DSN a fortnight later!
 
6.6 this morning good after the last few days of highs and lows.

@eggyg my word that looked a wonderful feast and fabulous family time too. Poppodoms yummmy.
 
Lovely to see @Kaylz back but don't go Ted @KARNAK. We'll miss your good advice, caring nature and witty repartee. Please stay even though you're unhappy with the above. Life's too short:(
 
6.4 for me, despite an effort to keep the carbs down yesterday.
 
Morning all. A 10.9 for me today.
 
6.3 and off to clean the caravan. Have a good day all x
 
Good morning 7.1 today

Have a great day everybody
 
4.3. Fell in twice paddle boarding yesterday but stood upright most of the time, it was quiet relaxing but did loose wedding ring on last fall, been putting off having it reduced in size due to weight loss now got to buy a new one. Tattoos today and been told to get sugar levels up so I don't faint so as I can't do that I am going to faint :D .

No wedding ring so I'm single again, anyone want to go on a date until I get my new one 😉
 
Good morning. Dark, wet this morning but not too cold. Sadly I can't get out to exercise early this morning as I have to wait in for an installer to come and install two replacement cupboard doors in the kitchen.

However, good news, BG this morning 5.2 yessss !!!!

A good start.

Hmm I can no longer wear my wedding ring as it just falls off every time now.

Many years ago I lost a lot of weight and the same thing happened only it dropped off when at the beach. It took a whole, but with very very careful digging and sorting through the sand where we were sitting I eventually found it again . Lesson learned. Although I'm not quite sure what that lesson was... 🙂
