Group 7-day waking average?

I'm sure there have been several (more than several?) coroner's reports condemning the so-called 'smart' lanes on the M42.
There have indeed. And it’s frightening seeing how far apart the refuges are.
Home safe and sound now. (Apart from a BG spike into double figures caused by the service station pain au raisin I succumbed to with my coffee. It’ll come down eventually, there was just no possibility of prebolusing for it)
 
@Adrian and @silentsquirrel Pollys tea room is still there and we had a coffee and tea cake in there on Saturday. Packed as usual, amazing how such a funny little shop is so popular, didn’t partake in the cakes of course, though the tea cake was rather large.
Love Hungerford and enjoyed the mooching but didn’t buy. Cannot help but always imagine how dreadful that day when Michael Ryan went on the rampage must have been. Sadly something that the town will always be associated with.
 
6.8 this morning, so heading downwards today.
 
ses and be one of those odd people who need less basal in the winter and more in the summer
I think i'm one of those odd people @rebrascora. Though my basal needs change every school holiday which is a bit of a pain when its only a half term week as you just get it sorted and its time to change again 🙄
 
Made chaffles today. First time I’ve ever made them.

Unfortunately I forgot to put the almond flour in the mix so basically I made a very cheesy omelette!
 
Well...the last few hours of my sensor showed i was high in double figures most of last night and today. The new sensor activated at 7pm tonight seems consistently to read 3+ below. I've now got a long red line on the graph, only 36% TIR for today and finger pricks reading 6.0 with libre scan reading 2 4. I really hope it settles overnight or its a call to Abbott

Now reading 2.9 with finger prick of 7.1. Lets see if it settles in overnight. I've never had one this far out before.
 
Good morning everyone.

BG 4.6 I don't seem to be able to get out of the 4's re fasting reading.

Food shopping to do today ready for my birthday tomorrow. My wife said she would make a cake. Nice. However, she often gets the stuff out of the fridge/cupboards and then puts them away again at the end of the day having cooked nothing. My expectations are nil so I won't get disappointed.

I think that might be why I feel a bit down this week. Another empty birthday. No cake, no cards, no presents, no party, no family, no friends, but I do have a glimmer of hope that that normal scene will not happen. Who knows....
 
Good morning 8.8 on waking today 🙄

hope we all can have a great day 😎
 
6.7 this morning and off to work shortly. Struggled to get out of bed, not starting until 8 and will be going back to starting at 7 soon, not quite sure how I’ll manage that lol!!
Have a good day one and all xx
 
Success at last! 6.6 for me this morning with no overnight hypos. Stuck with 2.5 basal units last night and ate rather too many roasted peanuts after dinner, to the point that my levels were 9.9 with a vertical upward arrow, so I then jabbed 2 units of Fiasp and that seems to have worked perfectly. Lowest point was 4.8 at 6am and then DP started kicking in and brought me up to 6.6 Happy bunny here this morning!
 
Morning all. I'm joining you @rebrascora with a 6.6, finger prick confirmed. The sensor finally decided to behave around 4am this morning. After going to bed in the red (i wasnt really) i had a sudden vertical line up into the 13s with a gradual drop until around 4am when it finally got back into target. I'll be keeping an eye on this one for bolusing for a while, i don't quite trust it yet.
Have a good day everyone.
 
7 on the nose this morning.
Awful night of sleep for me last night.

@Gwynn we can have a virtual birthday here for you tomorrow. I know it's not the same but it's something. And we can bake the most perfect cake for you which we know won't impact anyone's BG levels 🙂

What cake would you like?
 
Morning all, 6.8 here.
I had a sensor like that back in the summer, @freesia. It read 2.8 resolutely for the first 24 hours, until I said loudly to my husband, 'I’m going to have to report this sensor to Abbott' whereupon it shot up into the 6s, and behaved impeccably for the rest of the 2 weeks. Hope yours toes the line from now on.
