Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 9.4 here after a week in the 5s (honest). Great way to start World Diabetes Day LOL.
Was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering how you were getting on lol xx
 
Morning all. And it’s a beautiful one. A lovely 5.5 for me, Sauvignon Blanc induced though. I’ve scraped along the bottom all night.

Had an unexpected night out, which turned out to be an “ out out” night. I was disco dancing and everything! Out at 6, home just before I turned into a pumpkin! I haven’t slept, I have a really croaky voice and a headache. It was blooming brilliant. Good craic, food and drink. In the cold, light ( and sober) of day though I’m now worrying about being in such close proximity to potential virus carriers! 😱

Have a great day everyone, I’d like to think I will have a walk later on but in reality I may stay in my PJs and catch up with Strictly! 🙂
 
6.6 this morning. Stayed quite high all day yesterday post parkrun and another awful night of sleep.
Call today with Survivors plus a bit of prep for an interview tomorrow morning and that’s all for today.
Didn’t get the internal promotion but not too bothered because a friend got the role and it’s changed from what was advertised with more focus on the bits I didn’t actually want to do!
 
Good morning everyone. 6.1 and level overnight for the first time in a very long time.
@rebrascora i'm a bit like you in that i check my TIR regularly. The last 7 days i've been down to 77% largely caused by the new sensor showing i was in the 2's when blood was 4-6 plus a few hypos and a stressful week. I have felt a failure because it has gone down so much and the hypos are higher.

Thanks @SB2015 for reminding me that i AM doing the best that i can. I've just watched you tube, well done and thank you for doing that to show what it is like living with diabetes.

@eggyg i'm glad you enjoyed your night out. If you ard worried about being amongst the masses, could you do lateral flow tests over next week? It might put your mind at rest. I have to do them twice weekly for my job but have 2 nights out and a long train ride coming up over the next few weeks so will be doing them more often to check.

A mixed day planned for today. A bit of ironing, a walk, a visit to mum and a bit more online christmas shopping (hopefully, as time is getting on).


Have a good Sunday, whatever you are doing.

I won't spoil it for you but it was brilliant, Rose's dance brought me to tears.
You sound to have had a great night out.
 
6.6 this morning, after a brilliant night out with x-amount of vodkas, lots and lots of dancing (and I was surprised at how I didn't need my inhaler - I think the exercise bike is paying even more dividends!), good laughs, good company, loved every minute and it was so very needed. Oh, and I also went to city centre with daughter etc before that, to see the Christmas lights switched on, with fireworks and laser shows too. @eggyg so glad your night out went so well too 🙂
 
Glad everyone had great nights out.

7.9 this morning, but at last seeing a pattern I can do something about.

Need to clean the house today prior to house guests arriving this week. Not my favourite activity, but at least Julian pulls his weight.
 
Good morning 7.1 today
I didn’t wake up until late and cake was consumed yesterday, so was relieved it wasn’t higher

my arm still slightly sore, but I’m ok after the booster jab
a lazy Sunday here for me, only just had breakfast (spanish omelette)

hope everyones having a great weekend
 
Very pleased to report a 5.0 this morning.
I too had a night out last night. Went over to a friend's new house and took food and we had a few drinks and a catch up. Ate far too late and got the bolus wrong so ended up injecting 2.5 units correction at 1.30am for a 12.1, when we eventually stopped yacking and turned in.
Taking the Levemir earlier seems to be helping I think.

@SB2015 Beautiful choral arrangement and execution. Well done!

@eggyg and @janw well done "Party Girls"!
 
11:41 BS 5.1 JUST overshot a HS by a wee smidge! :D

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

LOVED Rose & Giovanna’s dance on Strictly last night & the special moment was especially poignant! 😛 Also found the Centennial Remembrance Service Celebration at The Royal Albert Hall very moving & cried buckets!
 
Morning all 7.2 yesterday and 7 today, busy day again and off to work, must dash. Have a good day xx
 
Good morning. 6.2. Work today.
 
Good morning 7.7 just now (although I got up about 1 hr ago)

Happy Monday Everybody
 
Very happy with a 6.6 this morning.
Still needed a 1 unit correction at bedtime but definitely think I am getting to grips with it and injecting the Levemir earlier is helping..
