Group 7-day waking average?

And all bus services have been suspended now in the area xx
 
Take care it sounds rough
It most certainly is, danger to life warning went out this afternoon so I'm surprised the buses stayed on so long xx
 
How are all you fairing up? Has the storm hit you yet? Up here we've had trees down, snow, wind has been wild since this morning, schools were closed early, vaccination centres in the neighboring 3 towns have been shut, stay safe folks! xx
It’s been a little bit nippy down here but not so much as you couldn’t pop out without a coat. Which I did. Twice. Almost no breeze.

Hopefully you and yours all escaped unscathed.
 
A bit later up this morning. Dark, cold, wet, very very windy out there. Some seriously strong gusts of wind last night. Thankfully, I didn't hear any damage going on.

BG 4.9 this morning.

An Amazon order arriving today. (Presents for Christmas - mostly cooking stuff as my wife is 'into' cooking right now). I have to get it into the house and wrap it up before she sees it. Such easy, pleasant problems. Ahhh

Day 6 of my 10 day self isolation. All going well.

Pulse remains low. This morning it was 52. I was sitting with an old friend, at a pub, before my self isolation, discussing low pulse (as you do). His was 42 in the pub!!! Nothing to be alarmed over he said. Mind you he exercises like crazy. But the real question is, if the NHS recommends talking to a doctor if the pulse is below 55bpm and straight to A&E if below 50, then is that actually right, especially as neither of us has any other asdociated symptoms. Or have I mis read the NHS guidelines.

Have a great day whatever you do today.
 
Gosh! Where is everyone this morning? Hope you haven't all been blown away or lost power!

I have a new animal analogy to add to the flatfish and porpoise range and it is not a good one. 😱 Afraid I had a persistent mole last night....

Not good I know, but at least with no evening Levemir on board, it was unlikely to go much lower and I was 11.1 with an upward vertical arrow when I went to bed with cheese and peanut butter on board. Slept really quite soundly despite the storm. I'm coming to the opinion that that is where my body wants my levels to be when I am doing more exercise. Once again, levels went high in the evening and then as soon as I sleep they drop... (I went to bed at 8.30pm last night)
Feel fine this morning. No hypo headache or anything, just feel rested.
 
7.2 this morning.
That’s after a day with truly minimal carbs but equally minimal sleep.

Off to Hampstead for a muddy and hilly Park Run this morning.
 
Morning all. 6.3.

I survived the storm, just been out to survey the grounds. One of my eight bird feeders come a cropper, but otherwise all seems well. Still blowy and very, very cold. Brrr!!! Hope everyone is ok and no damage done. It’s was pretty wild up here.

Think it’s a day for the fire on and watching rubbish telly or reading a book. It’s a hard life!

Have a great day, keep warm and dry, oh and put some rocks in your pockets! 🙂
 
Just checked BG again and is now 6.5 so Lord only knows what was up with the previous sample.
 
A horrible 8.1 today, don’t know if it was the cheese and biscuits last night or having a bad night. Was blooming freezing, even kept my leggings on. A caravan is no place to be this time of year, guess I should have left the heating on. Had hail down here on the coast yesterday and strong winds but certainly not as bad as up north.
Busy day ahead of sorting the van out for the winter.
Have a good day all x
 
After going hypo the night before last my BGs remained good till it was time for the evening meal when it was 11.7. Before bed it was 11. 2 but I decided against an adjustment as the muggy headache had lingered all day. Wish the bar stewards would allow me a Libreville! So 9.8 this chilly morning.
 
An unusual 4.2 low for me today. 🙂
A bit wet and windy overnight, but things seem to have calmed down now.

Stay safe everyone.

Morning all, 5.3 at normal waking up time. Went back to sleep for an hour, and Libre is alleging 7.9 now! I think it’s exaggerating a bit, it’s showing a steep upwards line which it may have second thoughts about.
We were forecast snow overnight, but no signs of it yet.

Edit. Ah yes, 5 minutes later my Libre has conceded I’m only 5.9.
 
Haven't these people got their own bins, or are they sub-tenants or just plonkers!
sounds like my neighbours (we have communal waste areas in this development) many neighbours just chuck everything near the big bins even furniture and their old white goods
 
Morning

A whopping 12.7 for me :( probably due to only half hour sleep but hey ho

0C at the moment but wind seems to have calmed for now, mum walked to work just after 6 (told her she was stupid) and been checking Twitter for updates, she ended up phoning the depot though and they have started running again so at least she'll get a bus home

7.3 today. Bit of a blustery day and night, it was 81mph at the Needles IOW, about 30 miles away as the gulls (try to) fly. Gusts to 65mph here in Poole. A few patches of blue, not much rain overnight but now a really cold 4deg.
