Group 7-day waking average?

@Pattidevans Can't believe you hadn't picked up on the House Special tradition here yet.... No trying to make any back claims! 😉 At least not without evidence!
I would wonder if your Libre is coming adrift a little and the filament has become disturbed and that's why it is starting to read uncharacteristically low like that.
Hope you get to the bottom of the low BP issue. Not nice when your legs go, although as Type 1s we are probably more used to it than others.

Flurries of snow outside here at the moment is discouraging me from heading out into the cold.... may need just one more coffee before I go... Need to head out to the shops but nearest town is Consett, which is right on the hill top and I have no doubt the weather will be wicked up there! Probably snow 6 inches deep and a white out! I'm getting soft in my old age!

No, I knew about it, but wasn't sure what the actual number was. I thought I saw someone getting it for a 5.6

Will check the libre against blood when I have lunch and if it's still 3 or more out I will change early and ring Abbott on Monday.

now Motsi is down with Covid

Where did you see that? The only thing I've seen is that she's still only not doing tonight's show because of close contact with someone who tested positive and whilst being double jabbed and boostered would usually mean exemption from isolation under the new rules hers (German EU) aren't recognised therefore she has to isolate xx

Sorry Duncan, but @eggyg got first dabs on one with her wish list yesterday.
Would be nice if Santa had a whole bag full of them to deliver to all of us. I promise I have been a good girl.... well mostly! 🙄

I was always told that Father Christmas pleases all the boys and girls, even if they haven’t been totally good.
So can I please have one!

@rebrascora and @Lily123 After my last post the Libre did another low glucose alarm and when I scanned immediately it said 5.4 The thing was clearly having a nervous breakdown so I took it off and put a new one on. My last, so hopefully it will work OK... we shall see in about half an hour!

 

[Lily123]

Oh dear.Hopefully that Libre will work properly especially as the hour wait with a new Libre and then sometimes for me it doesn’t immediately give the roughly correct numbers but good luck!

Not sure if you had considered it, and obviously not applicable in Patti's situation here, but you can apply the new sensor the day or even 2 before activating it and this gives it time to bed in and the tissue around the filament to settle down to the foreign object inserted into it and that seems to improve the performance for people who find the first few hours or days less accurate. You still get the full 14 days out of the sensor and it still needs the 60 min warm up period when you activate it, but it just allows your body to react to it's presence in the small and subtle ways that can and then settle down before you actually activate and start using the sensor.

I had no idea of that. That does make total sense! Thanks for telling me

It just said on It Takes Two that’s she isolated so, I assumed she has it like Judi did but, it’s good if she doesn’t have it: still won’t be on Strictly tonight though! This new variant from Southern Africa sounds really scary! 😱 One confirmed case in HK, where my 94 year dad is from someone returning from that region of Africa & I hope they can contain it: nightmare with the high density of population in a tiny state!😱

Saw a report on CNN yesterday, Hong Kong are putting travellers in strict quarantine hotels.

Who comes up with the names for Covid variants?

Omicron is an anagram of Moronic!

Who comes up with the names for Covid variants?

Yes, it's WHO.

(And they're all Greek letters. No idea if they've chosen the next alphabet once we've run out.)

Omicron an anagram for Moronic
How’s that Greek alphabet?

It's apparently the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet just after Nu (sounds too much like "new") and Xi (skipped for some reason...). (Learned them all once upon a time, but Omicron's not so familiar because it's not different to Latin letters so isn't useful in mathematics. Similarly for alpha, beta, etc., upper case letters.)

Xi was skipped as it’s the name of the Chinese president, Xi Jinping

02:36 BS 7.8 Ok, a bit over target but, ANYTHING half decent for my 50th Birthday today I’ll take! 🙄😉

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

DP busted & going to watch last night’s Strictly now before I cook & have breakfast! 🙂

Fell asleep, ???, soon after Tresiba at 11:30 while in the middle of watching Mary Poppins on iPlayer: last remembered scene of Mr. Banks being out footed by Mary Poppins into taking the children to the bank the next day! May finish watching it at some stage as I didn’t get to my favourite song yet of “Feed the Birds. Tuppence, Tuppence, Tuppence a bag”; love that song!😛

Had my Mr. Kipling After Dinner Mint Fancies half the box, 4, just before settling down to watch Mary Poppins & FINALLY got the bolus semi right ish: not such a blind guess as I’d already tried out the mint cakes before & know roughly how much bolus I need for them; will eat the other half box of 4 at some point today & that’s it with no Birthday Cake wastage this year at all! 🙄😉

 

[Lanny]

Just finished a rather delayed breakfast & Strictly. Just HAD to post this! 😳

I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED John & Johannes Argentine Tango to Beethoven’s 5th Symphony! 😛😎 The most famous four notes in all of Classical music: the ra tah tat tat of Fate knocking at the door; DA, DA, DA, DAH!

When growing up as a teen, only discovered Classical music at age 11 at high music class, my parents, in their late 50’s approaching 60, were into Cantonese opera of high pitched screeching, to me, we just rolled our eyes & let each other be: on the hi fi in the living room I’d hear them & I’d go “they’re listening to Dok, Dok, Chan music again as after each line of dialogue is schreeched, oops 😳 sung , there’s a percussion instrument that sounds like that; me with my ghetto blaster, it was the mid to late 80’s, in my bedroom playing Classical music at high volume my parents would go “ Lanny’s playing DA, DA, DA, DAH! music again”! We agreed to leave each other alone to what we liked!

My parents weren’t into Classical music at all & didn’t know many pieces but, they still recognised those four notes! I only gave them a CD of Mozart’s Night Mysic for Christmas once & they only listened, politely, to it once & left it sitting by the side of the hi fi never to be played again!

Who knew? Beethoven’s 5th works REALLY well with the Argentine Tango! 😛😛😛

Good morning - 10.2

 

[goodybags]

Good morning 5.8 today

Wrap up, stay warm & have a great day everyone 🙂

 

[Gwynn]

Good, well nearly afternoon for me, morning.

Not keen on winter, but just absolutely love Christmas.

BG 4.8 again. That's 3 times in a row. Twice yesterday and once this morning. I wonder if my meter has got stuck. A good number to get stuck on though.

Pizza tonight. Well, a tiny portion of one.

Weight down a fraction. Phew. I was worried that I had started a terrible non-stop upward trend.

One great thing about self isolation (day 7) is that I can't hear any of the constantly repeated old twee Christmas pop songs in the shops. Love their decorations though. I shall miss those. Hopefully I will be ok to get out again before Christmas (with ear plugs)

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
