Group 7-day waking average?

I love my Libre and thankfully I still have the original without the alarms, so apart from waking up to deal with the occasional low or high BG level which thankfully my body is pretty good at alerting me to, I sleep well and my partner remains totally undisturbed even when I have hypos or hypers

Don’t tell anyone, but….I switch the low alarm off at night! *
Too many false alarms for compression lows, waking me and my husband unneccesarily. And I always wake up spontaneously if I'm genuinely low.
*I did actually confess to the doctor at the clinic on my last telephone appointment.

Morning yawning! I knew it, could have had a lie in yesterday and got up early, have to get up early today and didn’t want to! Anyhoo, a high ( for me) 7.8. 6.1 at bedtime, had a 10 grm choc digestive, an hour after reading, 6.2. Looks like at midnight my Libre decided to dump some glucose and I’ve had a steady incline since.

Off walking today, just from the doorstep. Walk into town for Mr Eggy’s bi monthly trim, then we will get onto the Cumbrian Way path and head out of town along the River Caldew, where I’m hoping to see lots of birds and wildlife. Then into a local village and the pub, for lunch. Double back on our selves for a wee while then cross over the river, cut through some fields, under the railway bridge and toddle home. Nearly a circular walk. Should be at 10/11 miles walked. Supposed to be a nice day with sunshine too.

Have a fab day all, and I hope you too have sunshine today. 🙂

I am envious of where you live but also being able to go for the nice long walks. My physio gave me the go ahead to start to go 50 metres, then 75, It's going to take a long time to get to 3 miles at that rate.
Otherwise the knee is getting more mobile and less stiff so I now feel a little progress is being made. I shouldn't go falling off ladders.
 
Good evening 5.5 this morning and a busy day was had.

Very bad hypo this evening good job the Libre picked it up I didn`t have a clue
no sense no feeling comes to mind,:D tried to stand up wasn`t happening Lifts
and JB`s where administered but took ages to stop shaking and acting normal.:rofl:

Good info @rebrascora will help a lot of newbies to the Libre.😉

Congratulations to @TinaD & @khskel on their HS.🙂

@TinaD anymore and naughty chair for you.😱

Good look for tomorrow @Gwynn.🙂

In for radiotherapy tomorrow but Podiatrist first, all good fun I think.:confused:

I see a few struggling so massive {{{HUGS}}} to you all.

Take care stay safe be kind to anyone who deserves it but mostly to yourselves.
 
Yikes, I was up early and still I am not first. However... this mornings waking blood glucose reading

5.2 (what a good start)

Yesss

Today is the day of my second eye operation. Wish me well.

I know some of you have had some serious operations and that mine, today, is trivial in comparison, but still I am a little nervous and eye sight is so important.

Nothing to do today except, prepare for the operation, the operation itself, and getting home in one piece.

This is a good day with a brilliant start (5.2)

Have a great day whatever you need to do (now where's that doughnut and beef burger and chips and chocolate cake.....) 🙂
 
Good morning 6.0 today.

Well done on the on the HS @Gwynn hope the opp goes well
 
Good morning - 6.1. Congratulations on your HS @Gwynn
 
Good morning. A massive 12.4. Since being back at work i've had to reduce my basal. Yesterday at work, i spent most of the day crawling along the bottom of target and needing JBs and glucose. Kast night, it just wouldn't go up before bed so ended up having a snack, probably hence the 12.4.

Congrats on the HS @Gwynn, hope the op goes ok.
 
5.9 this morning, so am pleased with that. Managed to eat a skinless & boneless chicken thigh with roasted sweet potatoes and green beans - and it stayed down! Woo hoo!. Really starting to feel human again in my head, though strength needs a boost. Going to attempt shopping with the daughter this morning, as I don't need a lot and it will be nice to get out of the house after over a week of being unwell - will be nice to see daughter and granddaughter again too, have missed them both.
Have a good weekend all, the last one of January, feels a long time coming! lol

That must be so frustrating for you. I injured my pelvis just over two years ago after a really bad fall. It took ages to get out for a walk, it hurt so much ( it still does TBF). But little by little I did more until I was back up the fells, it hurts coming down though! It played up end of last year and I’ve had acupuncture and had my sacrum re adjusted again. I think soon I’ll be going to osteopath monthly for maintenance! Yesterday I did 12.5 flat miles and boy that last 5 miles, I just hobbled. I was aching all over. Did my stretches, took two ibuprofen and sat with my feet up for two hours. I feel ( almost) fine this morning. I’m sure with time you’ll soon be out and about. 🙂
 
Morning my Friday friends. 6.8 pour moi.
Very long walk yesterday, 12.5 miles, so popped into the Spar ( wish it had been a spa) on the way home and bought a mint Areo. Oh man! It was so good. It was only when I disposed of the wrapper did I notice it said “ sharing bar”! Whatevs! It did last from 3.30 to 9pm, so I really did share it out, just between myself though! 😉 So 6.8 is a pretty good result. PS don’t try this at home.:rofl:


Childcare today. She’ll be here very soon, I’m fed, watered, showered and dressed, not fully compos mentis yet though, I slept in and jumped out of bed and still feel dizzy! 😱


Have a great day all.🙂
Congratulations must go to @Gwynn on yet another HS, I’m getting the maracas out again! Good luck for your op. Also @harbottle, good work on your HS too, I’ll give the maracas an extra shake especially for you.🙂
 
@Gwynn well done and very good luck today
@harbottle congrats on your HS
@KARNAK hope all goes well for you today
8.1 on the left and 7.7 on the right so I’m taking the right, I was annoyed with the left reading as didn’t deserve it today! Time for a bath, things to do indoors today. New cooker worked a treat, yah 🙂.
Nothing exciting or even interesting to report so have a good day x
 
Morning

10.something today, likely a combination of worry last night, sore stomach I woke up with and contraceptive injection being due

Now to sit waiting goodness knows how long to hear from Bruce, thought he would have been in touch by now but never mind 🙄 xx
