Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. :D 3.3 here.

Welsh went well yesterday. These Zoom classes are great cos it opens the course up to people all over the world. One woman is in Texas (it’s the middle of the night for her), one woman is in a quarantine hotel in Japan, and one lad is in his bed for the whole four hours (I wonder what bedsore is in Welsh).

I’ve always thought driving along flooded streets would send the water straight into people’s houses @Maca44. Glad you managed not to get stuck!

Nice work @goodybags!!!

3.8 Mad day driving yesterday, flood in Botley was so deep water crept in under my van door poor people were trying to keep water going into houses but those daft 4x4 drivers just ploughed through with no thought for the home owners they could see what they were doing, causing misery for people, disgusting behaviour.

Rant over suns out now.

My least favourite 4x4 (technically AWD) is the Audi Q7. A horrible big thing. Way too big for most European roads.
I worked for a chairman who drove a Q7. I always said to him, “Did you drive over any motorbikes on the way in today? Oh, of course, you wouldn’t have noticed.”
 
5.1 for me today. 🙂

7.1 for me this morning after a 2 unit correction again earlier. I had a flat fish overnight but instead of skimming the ocean floor it skimmed just under the surface....9s all night and that was after I increased the evening Levemir to 6 units and there wasn't even leeway for that naughty biscuit. Levels were too high to consider eating, so just jabbed a correction as I climbed into bed which still didn't work. Most disappointing! :(
I have jabbed in an extra 3 units of Levemir this morning as I am getting annoyed now, so if that doesn't sort it, I am going to be concerned. I think I may have invented a "rage basal" instead of a "rage bolus"... 😱 JBs at the ready!! I hate being high all the time! Grrr!
 
Morning all, 5.7 here and no sign of any dawn rise. Must have been those two G & Ts in the pub yesterday evening. I also had to cope with Eton Mess for pud, (not something I'd normally choose, but they’d sold the last creme brûlée, my usual favourite.) and manage to keep my BGs in range! The two walks up steep hills during the day probably helped.
 
Morning

A better 7.2 for me today

Got gherkins with tea last night, stabbed the jar lid with the kitchen scissors on Saturday and transferred them to a tub so all good lol xx
 
Morning All
A 6.0 for me this morning so still within bounds following last nights ‘mess up’. Weight gone up slightly to 15 st 12lb. Only the odd pound , hopefully it’s just water
@rebrascora
I’ve now had a couple into the 3’s. Felt a little hungry so I knew it was going low
But onwards and upwards

@Robin
Creme Brûlée or Eton Mess Pud. And G&T’s I could Kill for either but dare not risk things like that. A few peaches or a teaspoon of ice cream is as far as I’ve dared go.
might live on the dangerous side of life and see what happens.

Aye mum did it like, as I'm right handed and it's a mess and can't hold things well wouldn't have trusted myself with a very sharp set of kitchen scissors lol xx

It’s doable! I had a sensible salmon steak, broccoli, and a few new potatoes for main, so it wasn’t too carb heavy over all. It ends up as a bit of a big guesswork equation, exercise + alcohol on the Glucose lowering side, Pudding on the raising side. Sometimes it all balances out, sometimes less so, but life’s too short not to experiment!
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
6:36am earlier than usual 6.4 for me and in target range - 16u of tresiba done
23:33pm bedtime and 3 hours after tea 5.6 - had a bedtime snack of mini choc chip cookies 13g of carbs
Snacked during the evening on cheddar cheese

Didn’t do the ironing as I can’t grip anything with my right hand because of this damn bite. The insides of my fingers are itching too. Might have a walk round to see my tame pharmacist see what she thinks. Any thought anyone? Pic below.

Do you get Blandford flies in your part of the world? They are a pain round here, in long damp grass. They always blister at the puncture point, and radiate a huge red area. I’m lucky, they are a nuisance, and take a week to go down, but some people have really nasty reactions to them and end up with it infected, so keep a close eye.

I haven’t heard of those before. I felt something happen at the time and it itched immediately but thought it was probably a nettle sting. It’s rock hard and painful. I’ll have a Google. Thanks.
 
I'm checking in with a 5.2 at 05:34 this morning 🙂
