Group 7-day waking average?

Woke to an 8.8 today. Seems to be pretty standard at the moment.

On a separate note…Eris got her first proper shoes today. Been waiting for the day I could take her to Clark’s for a fitting…though the pretty shoe options were lacking (literally one pair and not available in her size). We chose a nice sturdy pair of dusky pink trainers though. Can’t wait to let her run free in them. 87EA04CE-642D-4B71-A7A3-434339FCADED.jpeg
 
Those shoes look very smart @merrymunky
Well done on your levels settling into single figures.

Just back from a fabulous weekend, where I saw my family for the first time since the first lockdown.
We had a picnic in the park with 19 of us, and in the five hours we were there I had time to sit in small groups. at a distance, and just chat with all of them Through the afternoon. It was glorious.

The following day we erected a scarecrow I had made for my brother’s 70th birthday.
His birthday was in January so Sullivan is dressed for winter, but he didn’t seem to complain.

He has joined Gilbert who I made 20 years ago who is looking a bit sad now.
so hoping that Sullivan will cheer him up.
 
@SB2015
I’m sure Sullivan will keep Gilbert happy, as in their lyrics,
“Then give three cheers, and one cheer more,
For the hardy Captain of the Pinafore!”
 
Well this afternoon followed the advice of Diabetes Nurse and vastly increased carbs.
went up to 12.8 two hours after dinner. An hour later 11.6. And I felt sleepy and no energy. Forced myself to do a 3 km walk, BG’s came down to 5.8 but then by bedtime up to 6.5.
I think I’ll follow my own system of lower carbs and see how closely they watch the data that’s sent through to the team who are supposed to be watching.
 
It’s 5.9 at 05:35. So far so good with funeral arrangements.
 
Morning all

7.1

Happy with that. Let’s hope this trend continues!!!!
 
4.6 for me today. 🙂

Good morning 5.4 today

Good morning. New sensor shows 8.0, finger prick 6.8. Its the last day the children are in today, tomorrow we have a training day then summer hols. I am on my knees, exhausted. Happy holidays to any teachers and support workers out there.
@merrymunky the shoes are very smart, you'll need eyes everywhere now! Levels looking good, well done
@SB2015 so pleased you had a lovely time with your family. Sullivan looks rather smart.
Have a good day everyone, its going to be hot again!
 
Good morning
A 6.0 for me this morning.
have a great day.
 
Morning. 7 on the nose for me.

Off to the supermarket this morning. I usually like to be efficient and get in and out, however today I may take opportunity to loiter...probably by the chillers. 31c here yesterday and looks like we’re heading that way again.

Have a lovely day everyone🙂
 
Morning all. A slightly better sleep than previously but have woken to a 7.4 for reasons unknown. I’m wondering if it as I haven’t been walking for almost a week. It’s far too hot for Mr Eggy ( and me if truth be told) it puts an incredible strain on his heart, same if it’s too cold. Of course we could go out early doors but he likes his bed too much.

The Petrol Heads arrived home last night after their long weekend at Silverstone. They’ve all had a great time, even baby Zara, it’s a pity she won’t remember it. The hot weather was unbearable at times though, but they had large golf brollies that offered a bit of shade, and caps. I’ve seen a few photos but I’m sure there’s more. They were very pleased with the result too.

No plans other than general domestic/ garden chores and a lounge in the garden later on this afternoon.

Have a good day. 🙂

He looks very lifelike! He would definitely scare me if I met him in a field! You’re very clever Sue.
 
6.8 This morning. Now starting a hit of antibiotics to sort out SIBO after dairy free had no impact.

@freesia I feel for you in this heat. Glad that you are on your last day with the children.
Sorry to read your news @HenryBennett , but glad that arrangements are going smoothly.

The heat is rising and the garden is already too warm for breakfast.
Keep cool whatever you are doing.
 
Morning all, 5.7 here. Woke earlier to the sound of the graunchiest sounding hydraulics on the recycling lorry. The perils of sleeping with all the windows open, I normally sleep through it.
 
12.1 for hubby been prescribed novo rapid by diabetic nurse at hospital unit to take at lunch time as well as my doses of novo mix but rang dr yesterday morning to get her to do prescription but she’s not done it yet and diabetic specialist nurse said to start it as some as I could pic up prescription
 
4.1 another restless night with many trips to the summer room to cool down with the A/C on, get grouchy in hot weather.
