Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

A whopping 11.5 today, I'm putting it down to being stressed out with a blocked ear for the last 3 days

What a wild day weather wise yesterday, torrential rain for hours in the afternoon and into the evening but by 8pm you'd never have known it was so bad! Didn't have any guisers turn up but wouldn't have mattered if they had as we just ignore them every year

Mum's at work today as her Tuesday and Thursday has been changed to Monday and Wednesday until they find a new cleaner, the other one did her last day Friday and although they have had a month at least to find someone the job hasn't been well advertised it seems, hope they find someone else soon as the day off in between meant her back didn't end up too bad but that's 3 days in a row she's doing at the moment xx
 
6.6 this morning. Also exactly one year that I've not smoked, so a good day today. Shopping with daughter later to get my steps in lol
 
8.2 sensor today but unusual 7.7 finger pick. which higher then ideal but not usually in morning probably going to spike a bit now though.

Went to fill my pill boxes this morning and I’m completely out of metformin.
Oops.

Checked the pharmacy app and it’s clearly out of sync. That shows 20 days left before reordering but the gp surgery shows that it was the end of June when I last got a script filled.

Oops.
 
Disappointing 8.4 this morning here.
Had a great night at the theatre last night but getting there was very stressful. It's been over 2 years since I drove into "The Toon" and they have changed the road layout. Ended up in a bus lane before I realised. It says there are cameras but hoping there isn't a ticket coming in the post. Then I couldn't get parked in the usual multi storey and had to drive around looking for a roadside space. Got to the theatre with 2 mins to spare and very stressed having had to hot foot it half way across the city in heels! Presentation by Forensic Pathologist was really interesting and entertaining though and an appropriate subject for Halloween of course! Had to inject 2 corrections in my theatre seat to try to bring my stress induced levels back down from double figures. Theatre was packed but really don't think anyone noticed.... I am getting pretty good at injecting in the dark and Libre scanning makes it so much easier to check levels and then deal with it.
Felt very Covid safe in the theatre with everyone wearing masks but the streets were heaving with drunken youngsters when we came out and there was more than once I got a lungful of someone's drunken breath where they were larking around in the queues on the pavement waiting to get into the pubs and clubs. Just hoping the alcohol they had imbibed had killed off any virus.
 
09:17 BS 6.8 🙂

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

Long lie in this morning after guzzling pills & LR with the alarm earlier! It’s chilly & I was nice & cosy under the covers! But, stomach is ready for breakfast now! 🙄

I can’t have much of a breakfast tomorrow as from 04:40 oneards I can only have plain toast & water, well black tea but, I discovered some time ago that I HAVE to have milk with it, before my abdominal ultrasound scan at 09:40! :( It specifically said no butter or any spread on the toast or milk in the tea!😱

So, I’ll enjoy my breakfast this morning while I can! 😛

Oh yes! I see that some of you have used different reactions of “care” & “ha ha” but, I can’t see how I can do so? I specifically wanted to show that I care about @Kaylz ‘s post this morning!
 
If you're on an ipad or similar,@Lanny, you hold your finger on the 'like' button, then the other emojis display, and then you can slide your finger up to the one you want, (assume on a laptop it’s a case of hovering the mouse over the 'like' button, but I've not tried it)
 
Morning All
A 7.6 for me this morning
Have a good day for the start of the month.
 
I'm liking the ability to have different responses to posts now but I'd just ask that everyone remembers that even a "like" means someone cares xx
 
8.4 this morning (touche @rebrascora except your reason was much more interesting and exciting) unsure what went on, but during dinner my nose started to stream as if a tap had been turned on, so I only ate a few mouthfuls and no fruit. Consequently I had over-bolussed and had to consume hypo cures during the night. This happens occasionally for no reason I can discern.

On the bright side it’s sunny with a clear sky.

Good luck to all those returning to work.

Some of us thought a "care" response was more appropriate for some posts than a "like" for certain circumstances, I hope it hasn't offended anyone though xx
 
Morning all and 5.8 for me.

Went out to the co op and the road through the farm nearly flooded. Good job the rain has eased off.

Band meeting tonight to decide which tracks we want on the album and hopefully come up with a name for it.

Have a good day everyone.

Not what I meant! It's just that sometimes a "like" can be quicker than the others or there's a tech issue etc - just didn't want people to think that "care" is the only thing people can pick to show that they erm, care. 🙂
 
late on parade with a 7.5 this morning, but I ate what i wanted at yesterday's halloween party, I am really thankful to my daughter, son and hubby for all their hard work in making it happen while I sat and watched them working hard.

very stressed today with work, really didn't need some of the stuff I have had to deal with today, and been crying as I have been very emotional since my op and today I have been in some pain which is the first time since my op that I have wanted to take more than just paracetamol for the pain. Frustrated at not being able to run or drive, but hopefully by the end of the week I an do both. I need to get back to my healthy eating regime, running and yoga and I am sure my mood will lift.

Going to bakeclub with my mum tonight, my son has offered to drive us so we can still go, and bless my mum at 85 she said, I will get into the back so you don't have to bend down (he has 2 door car), like I am letting her climb into the back.

Talk to you all tomorrow.
 
Hi everyone hope you're all good 🙂. It was back to work for me today after a week off on school holidays - I'm a midday assistant.

Here's my latest bgl scores
7:11am waking 4.6 below target - 16.0 units of tresiba taken

13:41pm before lunch 6.9 within target - 62g carbs - 6.5 units humalog food
9:21am before breakfast 6.2 - 36g carbs - 4.5 units humalog food
22:46pm bedtime 9.4 - above target - didn't need them really but had 2x rich tea biscuits
 
Had a doctors appointment today to follow up DVLA getting application for my class 2 license.
What a waste of time and effort. My GP did not know how to fill form in, when he eventually found it. Plus he said I was Type 2 and must be mistaken about being Type 1 as I got it at 64. Even though I’ve got the Type 1 antibodies from a blood test and on Basel and bolus insulin.
He’ now consulting with his senior partner about what to do!!!!!

We don't have a frustrated hair pulling out emoji but if we did, I would have clicked that for you. Arrggh!!
