Group 7-day waking average?

I only have “poor people’s” telly Colin. I was just saying last night I can hardly cope with all the good dramas on ITV/BBC at the moment, as can’t find time to watch them all. It’s stressing me out! Don’t know what I’m going to do next week when Masterchef: The Professionals starts! 😳
Treat yourself to an Amazon Fire Stick. They are about £20 or so and open up a whole world of possibilities (albeit ones which might need a subscription!)

And watch French Bake Off on YouTube. You don’t need subtitles but these amateurs knock our lot into a cocked hat.
 
6.9 this am. Beaut day today brilliant sunshine, but a bit chilly 9 deg in Poole.
Hope you guys like this one....

08:01 BS 9.8 😳 A bit high but, in my defence it’s deliberately an hour for LR: why set two alarms this morning; taxi already booked last night for 09:15 this morning so, have until then to get ready! Didn’t sleep much last night & took AGES to drop off: was past 03:00; stomach feels a bit queasy too such are my nerves!o_O I don’t want to eat either so dialled back the DP dose a bit for a quarter oatcake & 11 NR because that’s what’s left in the old pen & I’ll start a new one when I get back later & eat!🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
5.6 on this very chilly morning. 🙂

Tried my new Gluco Navii BG meter this morning, higher reading than in the past of 8.2. Kind of did a test of old and new last night (which I know will probably be different even if same meter used), old was 7.4, new was 7.8 so not a huge difference, but not been in the 8's for a long time. Only changed meter as unable to get more test strips. Think I need to order some control solution just to test this new one. Sigh.
 
Morning

7.8 here

@goodybags I hope your feeling better soon! In regards to the Sky time it's really starting to bug me, apparently they are working to try and fix it xx
 
Good morning everyone 🙂 at 7:05am it was 9.0 for me and a bit above target - 16.0 units of tresiba done

23:44pm bedtime 6.3 within target but below 7-8mmol. Had 3x rich tea biscuits. No humalog.
19:55pm after tea - used bg from before tea for bolus advice - had 61g of carbs but reduced by 15g to 53g carbs - 5.0 units
19:34pm before tea 5.2 Within target and also this was the 15 minute hypo check
19:11pm before tea 3.3 hypo and no idea why - had 4x dextrose tablets
 
Hmm interesting. I will put the Christmas decorations up after my birthday which is 10th November. Just been out for a walk on the beach. Cold and windy. Threatening dark rain clouds everywhere but I managed to avoid getting wet for once.

Got some raspberries from Sainsburys. I think I am addicted to them!
 
8.4 this morning. It was rising from 3am so I guess it’s time to tweak basal on the pump. Also overnight may be affected by lack of alcohol as I’ve decided to give it a rest for a while and didn’t have red wine with dinner.

@eggyg I watched the first two episodes of this series of “Escape to the Chateau” yesterday whilst manicuring my nails properly for the first time since the first lockdown. I found it very enjoyable, bit different to previous series and I enjoyed the bits about jams and preserves since I make a lot myself. Don’t often eat them but I enjoy making them and friends like them.

10:48 BS 8.5 & just back to eat a sandwich bought from the hospital shop! Absolutely STARVING! Ham & cheese on white bread here I come: diving in; empty stomach acid was rising while I patiently waited for the scan! 🙄

I made a boo boo: the app. was for tomorrow but, they squeezed me in anyway as I was there & already fasted; wonder how many people get their appointments mixed up & goingon the wrong days? 😳o_O😱🙄:D😉

Nom, nom, nom! 😛
 
Afternoon all. Been absent for a few days spending some time with my boys. Still seems strange that that is plural. Not tested since Friday so was very pleased to get back to it today 🙂

Congrats on your House Special! So pleased that you are enjoying time with your now officially extended family.
 
Diabetic phone review just done by a completely different doctor I’ve never had before, the usual lady doctor is on leave at the moment, & it’s a bit worse with my Hba1c at 67 when it was at 63 in the summer! There was a lot of checking things back & forth between us as he’s never dealt with my case before but, he’s ordered another review face to face in 3 months time to address the issues that are getting worse, hopefully with my usual doctor! Also, my liver, even not having the results of this morning’s ultrasound scan yet, has worsened to the point that needs my GP to refer me back urgently to be seen by the gastrointestinal team: wait another week & call my GP regarding the uktrasound scan results & maybe get the urgent referral? He asked about the lumps & bumps that have been getting worse in my stomach area & wants that to be seen face to face & he REALLY doesn’t like me changing my insulin doses by such huge amounts between being well & not! I think a lot of it is he doesn’t know me & my usual doctor trusted me more! He sounded ABSOLUTELY AGHAST at the amount of insulin I needed to keep my BS under control when I have little colds & chills & the 20+ times a day tests I need to do at those times! Even though I DID say I’ve been getting more experience & getting better at doing that to keep my BS under control!

I once subscribed to Flixnet for the free month and couldn’t find anything to watch! I’m not a huge telly watcher, my binge watching consists of no more than two episodes, when I have down time I prefer to read. Today I ironed to a full Goggle Box and Bake Off: Extra Slice and half an episode of Escape to the Chateau! I had bedding, a tablecloth and linen napkins this week! They alone took a Gogglebox. 😱
