Group 7-day waking average?

@Kaylz i would ring them in the morning, get it sorted out as an emergency then email/write setting out things @Robin said. Give them a time limit for their reply. Are they an independent chemist or part of a chain? If they are a chain you could copy head office into it. I hope you get it sorted quickly.

It isn't the chemists fault, it's all down to the health centre's pharmacist not issuing until a review on it is done with me which I had no idea about yet I'm feeling bad about it! They won't even put you straight through to the pharmacist anymore and this is rather an urgent matter! I hate diabetes as it is but I hate it even more now! xx
 
Good morning everyone. Up very early today. No idea why. Feel fine too. First up 🙂

BG 5.1 aghhhh just a smidgen away from the perfect reading. Oh well.

My oeft eye continues to heal and the blurriness is reduced. Eye drop sting like crazy. Just ordered them with my usual prescription but as they were not listed I have had to try to do it via an attached message. We will see if that works or not.

Out to the shops later on to get some raspberries. I really like that fruit. I normally like the strawberries but right now they are bitter and hard.

Nothing else planned for the day.

Daughter popped over for a very short visit at the house gate yesterday afternoon (short visit as her daughter was unwell) (but getting better).
 
Good morning. 5.3 for me this morning, though woke in the night, didn't feel right so tested and was a massive 14.4!!! No idea what went wrong there as i was in target at bedtime. I had a 2u correction and went back to sleep.

Off to work this morning. Counting down the days now until the Christmas holiday. Despite having the weekend away, i'm exhausted through the week. Too much to do, not enough time, too little staff etc...the same for all us workers atm i feel.

Whether or not you have work today, have a good day. Catch up with you all later.
 
Morning world
6.7 today.
Self-care day ahead: accupuncture and osteopath
Stay safe.
 
Good morning Monday
woke just up to a respectable 5.6 (6.1 just before sleep last night)

Have a fantastic day everybody
 
A sleepy good morning to everyone!

12.7 😡 All over the place this week. Still blaming time of the month on this one. My body likes to go a bit "extra" 🙄

Xmas shopping today with my daughter. My dreams of going for a nice lunch while I'm out are fading fast unless I come down a bit.

Anyway, onwards. Have an awesome day everyone.
 
Morning folks 6.4 today. Going into Brighton today Christmas shopping with my friend, hope it’s not too busy, if nothing else we will have a giggle, we always have a laugh when we meet up.
@Kaylz hope you manage to get things sorted out today x
Have a good day all x
 
Morning all. Score on the door, 7.4. Can only think it was because we ate late, 8pm, went to bed 10.30 on 9.1, so didn’t have a clue what was going to happen. Turns out I was pretty steady all night.

Had a five mile walk yesterday up to Grizedale Forest, it was closed! 😱You were advised not to enter because of the damage done by Arwen it could be dangerous. We’d walked up a very steep hill we weren’t turning back! It was fine on the main path through but on the bridle way back to the village we spent a lot of time climbing around , over and even under in my case on my hands and knees! My dodgy parts just wouldn’t play! Got home safely but very muddy. Weather the next two days isn’t good, today the better of two evils so walking up to Tarn Hows. Tomorrow Storm Barra is on his way! :(

Have a Happy Morning all and stay safe. 🙂

I crawled under this one!

@Gwynn Glad you are healing ok. Attached messages to the repeat subscriptions have never worked for me yet. My surgery is the absolute pits though, a more inefficient and uncaring bunch there could possibly be in a supposedly caring environment.
 
5.3 for me this morning. 🙂

7.0 today for me. I have never been anywhere close to the HS on any test, probably never will, we are all different so I must accept that is unattainable for me. I concentrate on trying to maintain a level of 6.5-7.5, that seems to be my mean.
Bit dull and overcast with a bitter SW wind today, 7deg atm and expecting rain late afternoon here in Poole

9.5 for me, been high ever since yesterday morning when I got extremely wound up

@SueEK thanks, I'm just away to phone the health centre in about 5 minutes although don't think the pharmacist starts until 10 but hoping I'm wrong in thinking that xx

We are so well catered for here in our location. Our local pharmacy is shut all day Sat/Sun, and our local surgery is barricaded behind ansaphones and is virtually incommunicado. For any issues we have to go to our local A&E, oh no wait, Poole A&E has been closed down and we now have to travel to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital......services just get better and better while taxes go up and up.........

Our nearest A&E is also some distance away, just over 30 miles, our minor injuries unit was shut down years ago and the local hospital stopped many services years ago, there was a car accident not long after the A&E was stopped at the local hospital and they believe the guy would've made it if it was still in use but due to longer travelling he sadly didn't make it (the accident was on the dual carriageway very close to the local hospital) xx
 
Good morning 🙂
8:13am 8.4 for me so a tiny bit above target - 15 units of tresiba done.
23:56pm bedtime 7.6 within target - had 3x rich tea biscuits 18g of carbs. No humalog.

@Kaylz I hope your levels work their way down today for you. Good luck with your phone call to the health centre & pharmacist 🙂
@SueEK enjoy your Christmas shopping 🙂
@gll I hope your numbers come down for you so you can enjoy a nice lunch with your daughter. Hope you both enjoy your Christmas shopping 🙂

Have a good day everyone 🙂

I'm off downstairs in a bit for my breakfast of toast with a smearing of jam on. Then I'm off to work at 11am. I'm in the dinner hall first then outside in the playground.
