Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 7.4 here. Was 5.3 when I got woken around 5am by a thunderstorm. Wasn’t amused, but managed to get back to sleep, and it's a lovely bright morning now the storm has cleared the air. It will be a day of shower dodging, though!
 
Good Morning All
Congratulations to @rebrascora and @Gwynn on those HS’s. (Barbara, you didn’t get that meter that you were bidding for. Did you?)
A 6.1 for me today.
Have a great day!
 
Congrats to @rebrascora and @Gwynn on the well deserved HSs.

A 5.6 for me at 05:35 this morning. Very blustery here in West Berks. The last storm has cleared through and we currently have blue skies but I suspect it will not last long.
 
Morning

9.8 here, feeling totally fed up with D xx
 
4.8 this morning and going down so I was forced to try one of the lemon curd tarts that Mark made at baking class yesterday. Everything made made from scratch, including the lemon curd. OMG it was delicious. Also Mark’s first time making pastry or meringue. My personal chef 🙂
 
I thought I'd posted my 4.5 reading before going for my walk. 😳But forgot obvs to press enter. 🙄

Well done to @rebrascora and @Gwynn on the 5.2's. 🙂

Oh and I'm having double jabs for flu and Covid booster this afternoon. 😱

7.3 for me this morning, after what I thought was a reasonable day eating wise plus did a 7.5km run yesterday evening, oh well might eat brioche rolls everyday as they did the trick the day before.

@Gwynn - congratulations on your HS and having a couple of good days with your wife, hope both continue.

@rebrascora - congrats on your HS

@SueEK sorry to hear about your friend.

Tonight I will be doing a 5k run with the group, then tomorrow I am going to rest from running for the day, and hopefully complete my October 50 mile challenge on Friday and Saturday before I go into self isolation on Sunday ready for my little op and biopsy next Wednesday.

Have a good day all.
 
Well, feeling incredibly lazy this morning I decided to stop being such a wimp and go on out there for a longer walk. Just got back before it really started to rain !

Good timing I'd say.

Went into town on the way back and got a couple of presents for my daughters daughter. Glad I did cos I am not sure I will be able to go out again if the rain persists.

I guessed at 4.5 units of Levemir last night as I didn't get out for a walk yesterday and I ended up jabbing one unit of Fiasp just before I went to sleep at 9.45pm as my levels were a bit high at 9.4 and that obviously worked perfectly on this occasion. I have to say that seeing an HSl on the reader when the alarm went off certainly helped to clear the sleep fog from my brain and gave me a boost to start my day.

Congrats Barbara!
 
We need a bigger podium for all the HS's

I was right - it's throwing it down and I need to walk to the farm shop
 
First up again. 🙂

Good morning. Cold, dark, windy this morning out there.

BG is a bit odd. No diabetic medications and my BG seems to be getting a bit lower and lower. No symptoms of hypo tho. 4.1 this morning. The lowest it has ever been (recorded ).

I'll not worry unless it drops to below 4.0.

Theoretically we are out shopping and getting a present for my daughters daughter today but being so windy we may not get out there. My wife is afraid of the wind sadly. Where she comes from (the Philippines) windy days are not simple pleasant breezes!

Not sure what to do with today.

Here's a picture of me (warning. ok its a few years back)

Good morning 6.1 today
 
Morning all. 6.6 today.

Up since 5.30, I’d set my alarm for 6 as we’re off fell climbing today, ( Hallin Fell, a smallish Wainwright at just over 1200 feet), but woke up early so just decided to get up. Packed lunch already made. We need to be there early as, 1: there isn’t much parking at Howtown. 2: It’s the Scottish half term and it’s a popular family sized fell, and 3: We dawdle, and I’d like to be down before dusk!


Have a good day what ever your adventures may be. We’re packing our gloves, hats and buffs, it’s going to be cold up there today, albeit dry and sunny. See you tomorrow all in one piece hopefully. Let’s hope the news headlines this evening aren’t “Mountain Rescue called as two plump retirees stuck on Hallin Fell in the dark because they dawdled!” :D

@Gwynn if you wear that outfit today you definitely won’t blow away! 😉
 
Got my 2 jabs yesterday afternoon. In and out in under 2 minutes. 🙂
Except, I had to wait 15 minutes in case of side effects. But they let me go after 10 mins for good behaviour. 😛
I didn't cry whilst getting the jabs but didn't get a lollipop like you used to. After dinner I did treat myself to a few pieces of Lindt Mint chocolate. No ill effects and a 4.3 for me today.

Me being me, I just retested BG one hour after having my breakfast and it is 5.3. Very fine I think. Way better than the original 4.1

Breakfast carbs were 30g as I ate a whole banana with my cereals and milk.

I have an idea what the cause of 5he low BG might be. I may get a better indication by tomorrow.
