Group 7-day waking average?

Morning from a very, very wet Lake District. It’s rained non stop since 4 am! 6.3 on this beautiful morning!😛
The rain has scuppered our last day’s plans unfortunately, we were going to have a drive to Grange over Sands but I think we may just go straight home. :confused:


We’ve had a fabulous time as usual. We walked 9 miles yesterday from the hotel to the summit of Gummer’s How. Most “normal” folks, ie sensible, would jump in their car, which is parked right outside the hotel, and drive up the very steep hill to the carpark right opposite to the start of the walk meaning they miss out on the 200 metre ascent before the start! Bah! Where’s the fun in that? 😉 Fantastic views over Windermere, so we reckon it was worth it. Not sure my achy legs agree this morning. 😳
Off down for another delicious hotel breakfast soon.

Have a fab Friday. 🙂
 
4.2 for me, wife is up North all week end with her mum so am all alone as my son is always out and only grunt's anyway so will be talking to the cat's at least they listen to me, got to say I do like my own company sometimes.

It's been a nice week off work.
 
Good morning 🙂
7:00am - 6.2 - this morning
22:48pm - 4.9 - bedtime - teatime was 19:20pm so only 3 and a half hours between tea and bedtime - at bedtime because BGL was below 8mmol I had 3 digestive biscuits 27g of carbs with no insulin because 20g was like my booster to stop me going low in the night and I didn't need insulin for just 7g of carbs - had some cheese as well - hope I did the right thing.
 
Morning all and 4.3 for me.

It's persisting it down. Good for the garden at least.

Good rehearsal last night. Another two songs in the bag. Looks like we've got some studio time booked and booking agent has been asking about some possible dates in the USA.


Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning

What a wild night! Was showers of rain from about 2pm yesterday then it came on heavy about 5pm and didn't stop until about just after midnight, strong gusts of wind accompanied it and still quite a few strong gusts periodically this morning

It's an 8.5 for me today, not concerned, 5 and a half oaties are to blame but after a strange day yesterday was better to be safe, only took 1u for 30g carbs for my tea and come 5 hours later my BG meter was only showing a 0.1 mmol increase! Goodness knows what was happening with me yesterday!
xx
 
4.8 this morning.

Frustrating typing with one finger as dominant hand in plaster, but today this will (I hope) be replaced with a rigid splint, which will be lighter and hopefully give me more movement.
 
Morning All,
A 5.8 here this morning at 07:36
Have a great day.

They say talking to yourself is the first sign of madness, however you can have great arguments with yourself.
The only problem comes when you lose the argument.

😛 I think talking to cat's is a good sign as well but I can bore them with my waffle and they listen until they walk out the cat flap.
 
Good morning, seems ages since I wrote my morning numbers but always good to come back here. 4.8 for me and I have been reducing my lantus, seems in the Summer I need less insulin.
I am loving my alarm on Libre 2 as I can now sleep through the night without worrying I will have a hypo.
I wish you all a good day.

Oh gosh, that sounds hard and hope you can have the plaster replaced today. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
 
A depressing/tearful 7.8 for me today, went to bed on an 8.2, I feel like I am going backwards, I guess I am still not over this virus and my body knows something I don't. Hopefully they will start coming down soon as I am still having good control of my diet and not going over my carb allowance, perhaps I need to lower my carb allowance to see if that makes any difference. Think I am just feeling the pressure as I have been given 3 months to get my figures back down to where they were and to lose 20lb, which I know doesn't sound much but I have lost 25lb since end of March, so know that the weight loss will slow down. Maybe if I stop worrying about the 3 month deadline and just relax a bit things will improve I am probably making it worse by stressing about it.

My weight loss is slowing but putting too much pressure on yourself isn't going to help, do you keep count of carbs ? what is your daily amount.

Thank you, I try to stay below 65g per day with an absolute maximum of 75g. I am wondering if I should aim for nearer 50g, but my breakfast of yoghurt, blueberries and sunflower seeds, which is all weighed and measured comes to nearly 20g on its own, and roughly 8gs for my 3 coffee pod cappuccinos each morning, going to try and cut that down to 2 as the extra caffeine isn't helping. Normally I run 3 to 4 times a week, 2 yoga classes, a strength class, and a morning yoga session from an app every morning. I am sure the blood sugars are largely to do with this virus that I picked up, thankfully not Covid but spent best part of 4 days in bed.

Thank you for your reply.

well your doing all the right things I'm around 80g's carbs a day and diet is good so I guess you just got to sit it out until the body does it's thing. Be proud of what to have already achieved I don't think giving you a 3mth deadline is very helpful TBH.
