Group 7-day waking average?

7.4 today. Back in the 7's after a bit of a binge last night on crappy take-away kfc. Bedtime was 12.9!
Here's today's cartoon.....

Morning all. 5.8 on my fresh sensor, picked them up yesterday. I’m now officially getting the Libre 2 on prescription!

Did the “ big” shop yesterday but forgot the fishmonger counter doesn’t open Mondays. Never mind, I’ll nip back next week, I hadn’t planned anything fishy for later this week, salmon tonight which I already had in. Today I’ll mostly be making, cauliflower soup, ratatouille and the filling for a steak and ale pie. First though de jointing of the chicken and a stock to be made for the soup. That’ll keep me out of mischief today. 😉

Have a fab day everyone. 🙂
Gosh @Michael12421 I was just wondering about you a few days ago and hoping things were going well. Obviously I need to keep my thoughts to myself! I hope you and Missy get back to some sort of normality very soon. Keep posting so we know you’re both ok. Take care. 🙂
@SueEK it’s good that you’re fit enough for work and three hours a day seems like a good idea, see if you can milk it until the New Year! 😛
 
Morning

A not so great 10.7 today

@Bloden I would've been far too tempted to tell her where to go if she'd said that to me! lol xx
 
Well I slept in today after a dip into the red at 5am and 2 JBs to bring me up so not sure if this actually counts.... but....

Looks like I was quite lucky to catch it as it was on it's way down again but getting out of bed fixed that!

Annoyed that I dropped into the red as I actually woke up and caught it on 4.0. Ordinarily 1 JB would have done the trick but there is no sign of the first JB having any effect on my graph so I had to take a second one. I didn't yomp yesterday so gave myself a small basal dose last night.... I guess it needed to be smaller!
 
Unusually for me it took 4 stabs before I could get any blood out. 😳
But when it came the reading was 5.5. 🙂

7.1 this morning .... earlier than usual but when you've gotta go, you've gotta go
 
Morning all. Well after a spluttering start to the new sensor when it would read, tell me to try again in 10 mins, read, try again...i was woken by the alarm this morning to a 4.4 dropping. A JB stopped it and woke again to 6.5, so take your pick on my waking reading. By the time i'd got downstairs it was 9.3 with an upward trend, 8.3 with a finger prick. I hope its not going to be a days of highs again. Yesterdays false highs have made a big mess of my TIR.

@ColinUK i'm glad the call helped you. Sometimes, saying it out loud can be the only thing that does help.

@SueEK Its good they are letting you go back 3 days and reviewing. You'll feel really tired to start so take it slowly building it up.

@rebrascora congrats on the HS!

@eggyg i'll be up for the week if thats the food you're offering. Yummy!

@Michael12421 how are you today?
 
Well, my only plan for the day looks like it will be wrecked.... I had planned on walking to the hospital but as it is now raining, that's off and I will have to take the bus. Worse still, I will get wet in the rain regardless. Grrrr.

Bl*******y rain.


On a slightly more positive note..... I won't have to walk 6 miles to get to the appointment which always leaves me exhausted.

🙂
 
07:33 BS 9.3 Oops! I had a late night case of the munchies & MEANT to only have a couple of nice biscuits: ended up guzzling SO many I lost count; then, blindly guessed the bolus & went too conservative! But, better THAT than to risk going hypo with too much when I slept like a baby, finally, after my SNACK, I say sardonically! 😳 :D😉

Easily corrected when I bunged in 18 units to DP bust with half an oatcake along with my morning LR! Will move it one last time later today to 18:30 this evening & both doses can be comfortably accommodated by my waking/sleeping hours! 🙄

Feeling hungry now so, 09:12 BS 6.6 & about to bung in NR for breakfast! 😛

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

I kept thinking today is Wednesday & I’ll be getting my flu vaccine tonight but, thanks to @goodybags greeting this morning I was startled & checked the day on my iPad & it IS indeed only Tuesday! 😱😳o_O:D😉 I got confused with my tesco shopping on Sunday this week when I’ve gotten used to Monday’s!o_O
 
Morning everyone, 7.1 today.

Busy week, it's half term, got the in laws staying. Step dads funeral on Friday.

Booked weight loss surgery yesterday. Veering between excited and terrified. Hoping it'll be the start of some big changes for me.

I had decided not to post butt the events of the last 3 days have been traumatic and I need to tell someone.
On Saturday evening I was preparing dinner. No oven or hob on but I had placed a pan with olive oil in it to get ready to cook. The only thing on was the lights that are part of the extractor fan. I went to the bathroom and came down to find the kichen in flames, Using a hose I managed to put the ffire out but the entire place was full of smoke and I had difficulty breathing. I took myself and Missy to the front door to get air but I passed out. Woke to find 2 youngish girls trying to pick me up. They called their parents and gave me a chair to sit on. They called the police who turned up in about 10 minutes and they called an ambulance which arrived very quickly. By this time several neighbours arrived and were all trying to help. Everone had to use torches because the electricity supply had failed. A friend asked if I had house insurance, I affirmed that I had and once he found out who they were he telephoned them. They sent 2 electricians who somehow managed to get it back on. I was then carried to the ambulance and hooked up to an electrocardiogram and had many more tests. The chief paramedic - Susanna - decided I could stay at home once the smoke had cleaared. Some neighbours stayed with me along with the 2 police officers until at 11pm they too decided that everything was safe enough for me to sleep. The next day a quantity surveyor and my insurance agent arrived, took loads of photographs, shook their heads and told me to stay away from the kichen,
This evening they sent a team of cleaners who are still here and they are thoroughly cleaning the walls and the kitchen furniture. They have taken away what is left of the hob, extractor, oven and several cabinets. All is going to be replaced but it may take a couple of weeks. So there are just the 3 M's left, Michael, Missy and the microwave.
Every thing from the kichen is stacked in the courtyard, I hope that it doesn't rain!
Thought that my friends on here should know.
Not very good at using a microwave for cooking meals but will have to learn, reckon I am going to be on soup and sandwiches for a while. Susanna telephoned to ask how I was and told me that she considered me with much reduced mobility to be at risk and has arranged for a healthcare worker to visit me and advise what I should do to make my life easier.
That's it. Life doesn't get any easier does it?

That sounds awful Michael. Glad you and Missy are ok
 
Good morning again. I slept rather late but I feel OK. Cleaners are back at 4.30pm to finish the job. Missy and I have had our morning walk but I now have to go to the pharmacy and the local shop. I am not as confused as I was yesterday.
Thank you
 
Hi @Michael12421 it's great to see you back and to hear about how you and Missy are doing even if your first update was a bit frightening! So good to hear that you are both OK. I will always remember what my Dad said to me the first (and only!) time I crashed a car "The only thing that matters is that you are OK - cars we can rebuild" - the same goes for kitchens.

A strange morning this morning. My wife got up with Hugo so I had a lie in. Late up, a cup of tea in bed then got Hugo down for a nap and only then did I test so not sure how relevant it is but the result was a 6.0. Dull and dizzily morning in West Berks today.

And many congratulations to @rebrascora on the HS. Well done!

Lovely to be hearing from you again @Michael12421 . Pity it's under such dire circumstances. Hope you will be OK🙂
 
Stayed up till 1:30 watching the last episode of a long series. 5.8 at bedtime, overcompensated with biscuits and woke late at 8.8. Has totally destroyed my TIR..... and the late start has ruined plans for the day to do all manner of cooking and a supermarket shop. One or the other will be done.

@Michael12421 glad to hear you feel better today.

Which series?
 
Morning all (just). It was a 6.3 for me. I confess that I did have plans for loads of useful jobs this morning but alas.

Next few days will.br trying to decide which tracks to include on the album and what we want to call it not to mention artwork.

No rest for the wicked.

Have a good day everyone.
