Group 7-day waking average?

Morning. It’s too early !

6.6 for me. Have a good day All
 
Dark and cold and this is supposed to be morning? It was only a few weeks ago it would have been warm and light at this time....ahhh next summer....

BG this morning 4.3

I totted up all the BG readings from the last 3 months and got an average of 4.9 HbA1c 28. Of course this does not take account of all the time my BG is raised between testing. So if I guess/adjust based on the calculation error I found at the last real HbA1c test my guess would be that my HbA1c is around 32. Just slightly lower than the last real blood test at the surgery. Of course this is all supposition and a bit of nonsense but I find it interesting. I wonder how close/far out my guess is.

Incredibly after way too much scoffing birthday cake, lemon cheesecake, et al, my body weight is exactly on goal at 56Kg and BG system hasn't broken. The very long walk on the beach yesterday probably helped. My wife actually came along (after a bit of persuasion) and we had a good time too.

Today, nothing planned...
 
12.8 this morning so think I’m winning highest fbg again. Feeling very hungover though haven’t drank alcohol in months, probably because I had a long hypo last night at church, that just wouldn’t come up
 
Morning all, 4.1 here. Going for my Covid Booster this morning. There’s now a closer vaccine centre, so I don’t have to trek all the way over to the other side of Oxford. NHS booking system says it’s 9 miles, so fulfils the pledge of everyone being within 10 miles of one, but I reckon that would involve driving straight through Blenheim Palace, and then down the runway at Oxford Airport, so I think I’ll do the 11 miles round by the normal roads.
 
7.2 today. Don't know what I can do to get it down. Fasted from lunchtime yesterday and it's still over 7. I may as well stop trying, it's just the way my old body is I suppose.

Sounds best not to take that shortcut, probably within 10 miles as the crow flies but not everyone can fly. I have mine today too, there’s no parking nearby though so not quite worked out that side.
 
I love that Christmas tree.

Inwas almost tempted to ask...where can I get one... but some might think I was being serious 🙂

Where can I get one?
 
Morning folks. 5.9 in Eggyland. I started to reduce my basal last week, firstly by half a unit morning and evening, no noticeable difference so upped both by one and it’s seems to be working. Fingers crossed. My Time in Target for the last seven days is 94%. Happy with that.

Absolutely nothing planned. I’m winging it today! Have a Happy Monday. 🙂
 
BG 5.2 this morning at the end of a week of fluctuating scores which gave an average of 5.6. Not been enjoying the past week with grey skies and drizzle almost unrelenting, Cut the last of my roses yesterday, a bit tatty after the wet but still smelling sweet, even the cosmos is at last giving up although my fuchsias remain defiantly splendid. Only 36 days until light begins to increase ...
 
Well done @TinaD on getting the House Special.

4.6 for me today. 🙂

Dez
 
Congrats of your House Special @TinaD and a great weekly average.
 
Morning

9.6 for me

Decided to break out my "spare" echo pen yesterday as had a did I didn't I moment on how much bolus I'd taken and couldn't check seen as it hasn't stored a dose in months and often isn't even displaying the 2 dashes anymore, I'll phone the health centre tomorrow to request a new spare, I did it online before but since they changed the system it no longer comes up with suggestions when you start typing something not on repeat (it was removed a while ago) and the dispensing label is so faded it gives no real help lol xx
 
Well done TinaD on the HS.

I've not seen one of those in a while now.
 
Good Morning All
After getting up late my BG was 6.8.
hopefully that’s the levels coming down again.

@Robin

What’s wrong with a cup of tea at Blenheim Palace then straight down a runway.
You could always accuse the DF with messing with the SatNav.
 
7.3 when I got up but thought that didn't feel right to me and so tested again after a shower and a more reasonable 6.3 so that's the one I logged 🙂

Just off the phone for a pre-screen chat about a vacancy I saw on LinkedIn which peaked my interest. I'm not an obvious fit and some of the required experience I have never done so was grateful for them showing interest. Payscale is literally double what I'm currently on so at the end I brought up that with my not being able to hit the ground running on one of the biggest KPI's they mention my salary expectations are below the indicated pay range.
All in all we had an interesting chat and they can hear how keen I am on the cause so if nothing else that's a good way to start the week.

Rest of the day today will be mooching about the place waiting for an engineer to come and fit smart meters.

Not surprising after your horrible experience Lucy. HUGS.

Going grocery shopping with daughter and granddaughter soon, that will keep us on our toes. lol
 
8.8 for me this morning after 7.6 last night. Quite motivated after coming back to forum. Thanks all xx
