Group 7-day waking average?

07:32 BS 5.7 🙂

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

A VERY close run thing on GBBO last night & I was very pleased to see the right person win but, it was wincingly close as the tension ratcheted up to mistakes! 😱 Loved seeing all the bakers’ adventures after leaving the GBBO bubble!😛

PS I had to think a bit there NOT to let the cat out of the bag IF you haven’t seen the final yet & intend to! Scratching Head emoji! o_O:D😉
 
Morning all, 8.2 here. Wouldn’t you know it, the minute I crack and decide my new overnight pattern is here to stay, and I’d better deal with it, it goes away! I decided on 2 units of Levemir last night, and it held me steady with just a little dip, trouble is I’d gone to bed in the 8s expecting the usual whoosh downwards.
Congratulations on the HS, @Michael12421 ! And @rebrascora on yours too!

Same here @Robin I think our diabetes is twinned! You just need to learn to wake up at 4am with JBs or insulin to hand. I seem to be getting into a real routine of it.

Forgot to say "Many Congratulations" to @Michael12421 for that HS.... as well as being delighted for you!
 
6.9 for me today, last night at bedtime 9.2. Finally got our lunch at Shaftesbury, bloody cold there, 4deg at the viewpoint on Park Lane. This is looking South-West towards the Purbeck hills, with shafts of sunlight through the clouds in the distance. The other is looking almost due South, with Britain's highest altitude grass airfield at Compton Abbas in the distance lit by a shaft of sunlight.

Morning all.6.5 for me after the excitement of Bake Off. I also was pleased with the winner. No spoilers. It was another close call though, like last week. Now I can concentrate on Masterchef! :D

Got a letter yesterday re my retinal screening. I will call today to make an appointment, it’ll be for January I suspect, as until last year I always got my invitation in November and appointment early January. It’ll be two years since my last screening.

Nothing planned except a bit of cooking and ironing. Only problem is my hip is playing up again. Started yesterday, whilst not as painful as it was two weeks ago, it’s lasted longer, struggled to sleep last night with it. Thought it was ok when I woke but on walking down the stairs I could feel it nagging. I’m very annoyed as we’re off to the Lake District 2nd December for a week’s walking holiday. I’ll see how the ironing goes and may have a short walk later to see how it is. 😡

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. And massive congratulations to @Michael12421 and @rebrascora on the elusive Type 1 House Specials. May you be blessed with many more ( but not too many, save one for me)! 😉
 
Morning

8.0 today

Congratulations on the HS's @Michael12421 and @rebrascora

Chemist messed up my last CMS and only supplied 1 box of test strips, only realised yesterday, phoned them and the woman says it looks like it went through as an emergency prescription but she'd have to have a proper look into it today, strange that's the only item that there wasn't my stated amount of though, it has been ridiculous at that place for the last couple of months now! xx
 
A worrying 4.1
 
5.7 this morning.

And the challenge for the day is to attempt to disconnect the electric cooker… if you hear a bang and see a blue flash it wasn’t me!

Congrats @Michael12421 and @rebrascora on the HS!

As long as you switch it off at the fuse it'll be fine, we've disconnected and connected ours for years lol (obviously not for random reasons, just when ones given up or when we had the kitchen done) xx
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
7:37am 11.0 for me - did 1.5 units correction and 15.0 units tresiba

Other bgs
9:51am before breakfast 7.5 - 36g carbs - 4.5 units humalog food
22:41pm bedtime 8.0 - 1x blue riband biscuit and 1x rich tea biscuit
18:55pm before tea 6.8 - 106g carbs - 10.5 units humalog food

I would be grateful for any feedback 🙂
 
8.1 this morning. Too high but at least it was a flat line all night.

@rebrascora and @Robin I know lots of people don't want pumps for very valid reasons, so all due respect to your responses. I just wouldn't want to be without one after 8 years. Excited at the mo cos I got to choose my new pump yesterday and will be getting the Omnipod sometime just after Xmas. @rebrascorer... I agree... what was happening to me with the cannula wasn't a good sales-point! 😉 However, it's fairly rare to get a duff cannula.

@eggyg hope your hip stops playing up before your holiday.
 
Morning All
Sorry for absence over last few days, or perhaps a week.
Readings from this morning 7.4 but saw consultant yesterday next step to beat DVLA and he not too concerned about higher levels as they can be brought down when Swansea beaten. (Apologies to those who support that football team)
Have a great day.
Congratulations to @rebrascora and @Michael12421 on those HS’s

@DuncanLord 6 times sent off - 5 times returned for various spurious "reasons" by the DVLA. In sheer frustratopn I sent the whole lot off to my MP. Once he got involved, I received my licence within 3 days. If they can get their fingers out for politicos why not for us long-suffering members of the public?
 
7.2 this morning - whoops.
Just tested this afternoon and, after a rather "unhealthy" morning and lunch (as daughter and granddaughter came over), it was 6.9, so lower than I anticipated. I MUST be good at dinnertime and beyond.... got to be strict with myself!!!

I resorted to emailing my MP to get my licence back too. I said that the government was telling us to go back to work and it beggared belief that their own departments were refusing. I got my licence back within a couple of days.
Yesterday i had a letter from the DVLA asking me to fill in a form as i had complained and to explain what the problem was. Oooohh now....where shall i start...
