Group 7-day waking average?

[mage 1]

BS 7.5 is EXCELLENT 2 hours after cake!

I, in italics, would accept ANYTHING around BS 10 two hours after cake as I CAN go much higher if I get the bolus wrong! 🙄

Lovely looking cake too! 😛

Glad to hear you had a lovely Birthday @Gwynn 😎😉

Joining @eggyg today on an 8.2. Mine is definitely due to eating soft carby crumpets yesterday for tea after having my tooth out plus the stress of having it out - horrible, thought I was going to cry, I’m pathetic lol!! I can’t bring myself to look in the mirror to see how my smile has changed - that can wait for a few days.
Have a good day all xx

Morning

8.9 today

Was watching BBC Breakfast earlier and Charlie was yapping about the Scotch Pie awards and was mentioning the categories, I know bridies are a Scottish thing but Charlie had never heard of a macaroni pie, do they not exist in England? Or are they a rare thing there? Used to love a macaroni pie from the bakery in Laurencekirk when I was working out there, was bra on a cold winters day to finish and nip in for one to munch while I was waiting on the bus home, makes me wonder what other pies we have that aren't common in England xx

I’ve never heard of either of those pies!! My favourite is a pork pie - yumyumyumyum x

Macaroni pie's are amazing! Haha, I don't like plain pork pies but loved the Morrison's mini pork cheese and pickle ones and Tesco's mini pork and chilli ones, I take it you don't see tattie and bean pies down there either? Bridies aren't a pie, the closest thing to a bridie down your way would be a pasty xx

09:00 BS 5.2! Yay! I hit it bang on the nose for a House Special this morning!😱

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

Going back for a bit more sleep now! Still sleeping more with this cycle! DSN’s call around 08:45 earlier already woke me up from sleep anyway & tested! Doctor actually wants me to start on 76 units of Tresiba & work my way upwards, if need be, from there & it’s back to regular every week reporting of BS to DSN! 🙄

I’ll finish off the LR & start around the middle of next week!

 

[grovesy]

Been left in the safe place, hope your shoes arrive soon! xx

They turned up at 9 this morning.

Try Glasses Direct - I was suspicious at first because it's online but they've had really good customer service. I'd used their sister company for contact lenses for years but now I use them and Vision Express mainly.

Thank you Colin. I’ll have a look at Glasses Direct. I need bespoke varifocals which usually need measuring, but will see what they can do. Otherwise I’ve used ASDA in the past. 1.5 hours drive away but a good choice of frames. Sometimes it’s a pain living so far from civilisation at fhe far end of Cornwall.

8.6 this morning. Woke from a hypo at 02:31 and put pump onto temp basal of 90% for 6 hours. You can’t win.

@freesia I have been where you are employment wise. Fingers crossed something better will turn up soon. Good luck.

@Gwynn.. lovely looking cake.

good to hear! xx

7.6 this morning, better than the 9.9 at bedtime last night, no more crisps woman!
Off to see Dr at noon, get the results of my blood test for heart failure, take along my week's worth of BP measurements (which are mostly good....most Normal or the odd High normal - only one in lowest hypertension range).
Fingers crossed no bad news.
Two minutes silence at 11.00am today, Remembrance Day.

 

[rebrascora]

5.6 for me but that was after a 1 unit correction earlier because as you know I hate starting the day high. I increased my basal by 1 unit last night and needed a 2 unit correction at bedtime when levels ended up in double figures, so I am still struggling with being too high or too low. My stats are a mess with just 82% in range for the last 7days and a shocking 10% below although quite a bit of that is down to Libre reading low. Still, must do better!

@Kaylz Can you tell us what a macaroni pie contains other than the obvious.... I am guessing cheese? Interestingly I have never had mac and cheese as a meal. The only macaroni we had as children was a sweet pudding similar to rice pudding. I certainly hadn't heard of it in a pie either. Tattie and bean pie sounds like a diabetic nightmare. Triple whammy carbs!

@SueEK Sending more (((HUGS))) I can so relate to your emotional response to tooth extraction. Will you be going for an implant? I couldn't justify the expense unless perhaps it was a front one and not sure I could face the surgery. I got a palate for my extraction at the back but just couldn't get away with it. It made me lisp and feel sick and you can only see the gap if I belly laugh, so just not worth the effort of persevering to get used to it... sadly a waste of money!

@Gwynn So pleased your day went well and you enjoyed your birthday food.

 

[rebrascora]

Oh.... Forgot to Congratulate @adrian1der and now @Lanny on your House Specials. Gold stars for you both!

It's literally just macaroni cheese in a pie shell, there's no pastry lid to it though just the macaroni filling, I love macaroni cheese growing up, tattie and bean pie is mince topped with mashed tatties and beans on top (also without a pastry lid), there's also mince and mealie pies (mince and white pudding) xx

7.4 this morning, feeling a bit better plus my 50 miles running in October medal arrived yesterday so that cheered me up, did a good hills run in the evening so that all helped.

@SueEK - sorry to hear about your tooth extraction.

Have a good day everyone

@Gwynn.. lovely looking cake.

Varifocals are going to be expensive wherever they come from I guess.
I tried varifocal contact lenses and eventually we settled on the correct prescription but there’s no way I was going to pay over £100 for a 30 day supply for the cheapest option!

 

[ColinUK]

Late to the party today after 9 hours of sleep. Yup nine hours!
And a 5.3 to boot!
