Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all.

FBG 6.3 this morning after half the night on a -25% temp basal. Gotta sort this out as had another nasty low after dinner last night.

OH has installed a Wordle App on his phone. Seems he can play multiple games per day if he progresses through the levels. Oops perhaps I shouldn’t have told you lot about that, you’ll never get anything done!

@TinaD I discovered a tip for cleaning dirty glass which works on showers beautifully. Going to try it on my oven door today. Get one of those magic eraser blocks (Flash do them). Cut round a dishwasher tablet to make a hole and push the dishwasher tab into the hole, so the flat side is level with the surface of the eraser block. Wet it and rub over the glass.

@Robin CONGRATULATIONS treasure that 5.2.
 
Good morning all,
Today I had a 5'8.

Hi everyone, 6'5 this morning.
Last days I've been going for a walk after breakfast and had good BGs before lunch. I want to see how are my BG if I don't walk, so today I am sitting at home...for science :D

Yesterday after my no-walk my BG was lower than usual. Today I am not walking either because I tested positive for COVID last night :( need to find some exercise to do at home this week and try to resist the snacks!
 
11:12 BS 6.8 🙂

Forgot to check in, again 😳, yesterday which was about the same time with BS 6.5 so, still consistent.🙂

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

Little Miss Distracted has now finished my run of James Bond books, for the time being! 🙄 Diamonds Are Forever was very like the early Dick Francis books indeed, there’s a sequence of horse racing in the middle with trying to fix the outcome of a race to launder the money of a payout for diamond smuggling! 😛

But, I had a hard slog getting through From Russia with Love & only finished it by listening to the audiobook it took SO long to get started & then, when it did right at the end, it just stopped with Bond falling down faint just as his backup shows up! :( In that instance the film is much better as it’s faster paced!:confused: Although to be fair IF you haven’t seen the film & don’t know the set up you might find the long exposition of “The Plan” a lot more interesting: done very quickly in the film; took nearly the first half of the book to explain that! 😱

I knew I’d never read or listen through THAT ever again & didn’t enjoy being bored that I returned both the kindle & audio books for a refund.

The window for kindle returns is very short & I’m not sure how long so, I only buy when I’m going to read it right away now to HAVE that option of returning books I hated! The audible window is 365 days so, that’s quite a bit more flexible! I need never be stuck with books I don’t like ever again!o_O It’ll take 7 to 10 days for the refunds to come through!🙄
 
Morning Everyone
9.1 first time I was awake and up (coughing and couldn't stay laying down anymore)
7.1 after I had been up for a few hours and gone back to sleep for a bit.

Suppose I should do my self assessment today and make HMRC faint that it is in before the 31st :rofl:
Thankfully my business accounts are fairly straightforward 🙂

Have a great day whatever you are doing 🙂

Brilliant, well done, your strategy has worked for you.

Thank you but not quite - my plan was to be able to eat low carb eventually rather than strict keto (20gms a day). I hoped one day to have some bread, rice, pasta or the odd potato, even a sneaky, if rare, piece of cake. Even, in my dreams, a glass or two now and then of the water of life. It certainly didn't include having to buy 2 lots of test strips a month. So BG pretty much under control but cannot take a deep breath when passing a bakery and have had to drop all dairy for the minute. Still I am pretty lucky judging by fellow members of this forum as I tell myself relentlessly when images of iced fruitcake, rice with curry, stuffed cannelloni, and cold beer float unbidden into my mind.
 
7.6 for me.
 
Hello all. 🙂 Having a good day I hope. I'm constantly in the double figures now and lamenting when I was effortlessly in the 5s. Those were the days. I'm still being a fool to myself. I'm always stressed and then need to comfort eat. I've just eaten a lemon almond cake my bro got me. I hates almond. It was foul. Good grief. Daren't measure and anyways I'm having trouble getting any blood out, it must be like treacle. 😳 Have you all given up wearing your masks? They have around here. I still wear mine. I like being incognito. :D
 
Got a 6.0 this morning, haven't been worrying about it taking lately as not really eating a lot, mostly keeping hydrated, not had a full meal since sometime last week, though I had two lamb chops yesterday, hubby cooked those in the oven after I gave him instructions lol. I kept them down too which was a bonus. Hubby's not well either, he's also got this stinking cold and the profuse catarrh - ugh!
Have had to order online shopping again for delivery tomorrow. I am improving as each day passes but still feel as weak as a kitten - need to build my strength up again. I've got bags of homemade chicken stock/broth in the freezer, so might see what I can do with that.
Hoping those who are also poorly will soon be well - and everyone else to stay well. Take care
 
Good morning - 5.8 after almost sleepless night. Spent early evening planning trip to Scotland to deposit Mother's ashes into columbarium at St Ninian's and then ringing around engravers to source metal label for casket. Not looking forward to the drive after not having driven further than local market town, and that rarely, since Covid started, but she can't spend another year on the chest of drawers in the spare bedroom. Think a siesta will be called for once I have done the animals.
 
7.4 today and off to work. Have a good one xx
 
Morning

8.9 here xx
 
Good morning 4.9 today

Finally got a routine blood test done yesterday,
