Group 7-day waking average?

Sorry very late, almost early for tomorrow, but had a very emotional day again, but was 5.9 this morning all those hours ago.

Here is my addition to the shoe porn, the most expensive shoes I own.

Oo er. I would rather not have another day like today.

A good start and a nice 6.2 when I sat down for lunch with some friends.
I had changed my cannula about an hour before. Bolused for a reasonable guess at carbs….
… when I got in the car to drive back I was 14.8!! I guessed I underestimated the carbs so added a bit extra, via the pump, and also knew I had not pre bolused. All fine and it would sort itself out ….
…. When I got home and changed I realised my cannula had fallen out!! Tested and I was then 20!,
So no insulin whatsoever since about 11:00….. There was basically no glue on the sticky pad.
I am finally back in range with quite a few corrections.

I know that there is no point at looking at any data including this in it, so need to ignore the TIR of 52% (I still looked though - rediculous) Can I borrow your TIR @freesia . Yours is sounding very good in spite of the ups and downs you have had over the past few days.

Bother. Tomorrow is another day.

Good morning everyone a 4.7 here. Very happy with that.

Out for a walk in 2 Hrs when the sun comes up. I once went walking on the beach when it was pitch black. It was way too scary. My imagination ran wild. The slightest noise made me think I was being stalked by velociraptors or wild dogs.
 
Good morning 7.1 today

And hopefully today’s a better day at home for you and your wife.

Ooh next time you’re being chased by a pack of wild velocihounds just picture them as being mosquito sized so you can easily bat them away 🙂
 
Morning all, 6.4 today and have my grandson today as my son in London, DIL at work and my daughter for some reason has cancelled having him for the day. He’s going to be rather bored as I can’t even walk to the park with him, oh well. Hospital rang yet again yesterday, next appt for scan is 13 September, another 2 and a bit weeks with this catheter, think I’ll go nuts, it’s really uncomfortable now.
Have a good day all x

How old is he?
Let’s see if we can’t come up with some ideas to keep him amused even though you can’t get to the park.
 
Morning all. 6.4 from Bristol today. It’s au revoir to this great city from us as we continue onwards to South Devon later. We’ve had a wonderful time, enhanced by the glorious weather. Another 7 miles clocked yesterday, we walked up the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The folks of Bristol must have hearts like ox and gluts of steel! It’s a very hilly place. Anyhoo, we got there eventually. What a fantastic sight it was too. Well worth the climb.

We’ve got until midday to check out so think we’ll take advantage of that and mosie ( sp) on down the M5, hopefully it won’t be full of Bank Holiday traffic! Who am I kidding? :(

See you all again tomorrow, same time, different place. Have a fab Friday.🙂

@SueEK get grandson on housework duty, never too young to push a Hoover about the place.
@SB2015 bet you’re glad yesterday’s over. Today will be a better day.

He’s 8 and to be honest as good as gold but am still quite limited what I can do, thankfully he loves our dog and she will keep him entertained a little throughout the day. I have colouring things here but he’s not keen on that, I also have toys but they are the same old things but he does love to talk which can be exhausting lol x

Could you get him involved in the kitchen perhaps baking something simple?
Or write a story about the dog and then perform it to you?
 
Good Morning
A 5.8 here in a sunny but slightly cloudy Essex
Have a great day.
 
5.4 for me today. 🙂 Same as yesterday's, which I forgot to post on here.😳🙄

Morning all, 6.8 here. Started Phase 2 of daughter’s garden project, which is to turn the bit where the shed was into a lawn. Started digging, and found enough large lumps of Cotswold stone to build a dry stone wall, or maybe she should just start her own quarry business. Anyhow, I was so hungry yesterday evening I kept snacking, convinced I'd just be replenishing my liver, and ended up needing a correction dose at bedtime.
 
After a worrying 3.1 last night (first ever nighttime hypo), am relieved to say I woke up with a 5.1 🙂 (once again thanks to those who helped)

Diabetes appointment went fine, have been told to follow normal carb counting regime but drop 1 unit off for breakfast and lunch to stop hypos.

Finally bought some clothes, got a yellow jacket and T-shirt from Superdry

Haircut today (much to my family’s dismay) 😛

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
6.9 for me today, Bright and sunny slight breeze in Poole.
 
Morning

6.6 today xx
