Group 7-day waking average?

06:05 BS 7.3 🙂

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Sad to see Greg Wise knocked out of Strictly & it must have been disappointing for his wife Dame Emma Thompson who then, must have had to rush off straight away to present one of The Earthshot Prizes, Build a Waste Free World!

Which leads me on to The Earthshot Prize Ceremony straight after Strictly! I was very moved by the whole thing, inspired & hopeful that’s SO much nicer, & more helpful, than the “doom & gloom” message that’s been steadily gathering more momentum of the last 15 years at least: I remembered the lone polar bear filmed swimming The Artic seas to hunt for food in Planet Earth in 2005; was pointed out that THAT had never been seen, or filmed, before, & surprising but, the dwindling ice caps were forcing animals to change their behaviour; a theme common to all the episodes of Planet Earth in 2005!

I think all the prizes went to the right recipients & I think the last two prizes awarded & won were the most inspiring of all:- Build a Waste Free World won by The City of Milan for their network of food redistribution hubs so that food that would otherwise be thrown away is distributed to those that need it, if every city around the world could do what Milan did THAT would be a MASSIVE change, SO much land & resources has been expended to have food & then, we waste so much of it!

Protect & Restore Nature won by The Republic of Costa Rica for changing their government policy in 1997 to pay people to protect nature & stop cutting down the rainforest, in the 25 years since that policy change their rainforests have started to grow back & if every country around the world could do what Costa Rica has done that would be a MASSIVE change too, the biggest one! 😛😎:D
 
Morning. 6.3 rising to 9.7 by the time I’d walked to the shower - it’s not far away! Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning Monday
today 6.9, yesterday was 5.5

have a great day everybody
 
4.3 for me and a very gentle downward slope from 6.2 at bedtime despite a 2.5 unit basal reduction for a 7.5 mile walk I clocked up after evening stables. The important thing is no red on my graph and no Lift tablets required, so very happy with that. Interestingly, it dropped after I got up instead of rising like it usually does and I really thought with less evening basal I would have a bigger Foot on the Floor response this morning. Just as well I didn't prebolus as I normally do before getting out of bed, but I am out of yoghurt so decided to delay breakfast until I can get some from the village store.

Hope everyone has a good day.

@Gwynn So relieved to hear that you got your day turned around yesterday.

@Lanny The only disappointment for me was that all of the prize winners were from abroad. What happened to The UK leading the "Green revolution"

Give @mage 1 a prize!!! A 5.2 marathon...amazing. 😛

Morning folks. :D 4.0 for me, so a post-bolus at breakfast for a change.
 
6.5 today after bedtime reading of 9.9 after forgetting my metformin after dinner. Dull miserable day here in Poole today; a muggy 15deg waiting for the rain to arrive about lunchtime. May get out on the bike before then.
 
Morning All

Metformin doesn't work like that. It takes weeks to build up in your system and then you are just topping it up with daily tablets. You could probably miss a couple of day's tablets and not see a significant impact so a few hours after a missed tablet will not make any appreciable difference. What you ate is a more likely culprit. 😉
 
5.6 for me this morning. 🙂
Well done @mage 1 on those 5.2's 🙂

@mage 1 Congratulations on your House Special this morning although there may need to be a stewards enquiry..... Seriously wondering if your meter is faulty/stuck.... and if so....

How much do you want for it?.... name your price?? I think there could be a few interested parties on this thread. Might end up in a bidding war!
 
Morning all, 4.5 here, been hovering just above the red all night despite reduced overnight basal, and yesterday’s walk was mainly flat! Stupidly I forgot to pack jelly babies for the walk. I always have an emergency tube of fruit pastilles on my bag, but I'd eaten so many by the time we stopped for coffee, I just 'had' to have a piece of pecan flapjack to see me home safely! Further reduction of daytime basal before we tackle any cliffs, I think.
 
Morning all. A Len Goodman SEVEN on waking at 7.30. Dozed on and off and got up for the loo. 8,
. 4! Wished I stayed in bed!

Had a great lunch date yesterday with @Stitch147 and Trevor ( I put a photo on Off the Subject). Got on like a house on fire. Spookily the wedding they are attending at Gretna Green today, the reception is being held in the same hotel we had ours in 1980! Luckily for them they had choices of where the actual marriage ceremony could be held, we had one choice if we wanted to get married in Gretna Green. The registry office on a row of shops on a housing estate which shared an entrance with a dentist! We’re still here though, 19 folks crammed into one tiny room was obviously the right thing to do for us! Have a great day all.

No plans today, wet and miserable, and the weather is rubbish too! 🙄

Have a fab day all.🙂
@SueEK good luck again, at this rate you’ll be invited to the hospital’s staff Christmas party! @mage 1 well done on a plethora of HSs.
 
Morning all, 6.1 this morning - my lowest reading on a morning yet. Feel somehow like a bad diabetic needing so much basal insulin to get me here, but I think it's probably because I'm a pretty big girl really.

Relieved it's working and getting where it needs to be.
