Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 6.6 here.
Supposed to be meeting a friend for a walk and a natter half way between us, about an hour’s drive for each, but can’t decide if the rail strike will make the roads super busy, or everyone will work from home. Will consult the red lines on Google maps before we set out.
 
8.4 wiridlly at the moment I seem to randomly waking up in the middle of the night at moment for no reason it's not blood sugar related I tend to check that because it has been in the past.


I thought of another possible cause for my problems at moment thought maybe it's something I'm eating that I've become intorlant too as intorances to food can develop at any age
 
10.1
Morning all.
Happy summer solstice all I trust we all danced naked as the sun came up today?
Think I need to start with a apology @freesia I was using a very broad stroke of the brush when I tarred all tourists with the same brush yesterday atleast 90 percent of people are respectful and clean up after them selves when they leave its that pesky other 10 percent that frustrates and drives me to distraction its just not fun to have to pick up dirty nappies beer bottles and throw away bbqs half eaten meals etc when all you want to do is go for a early morning wander across the pebbles and the sand. And because I adore where I live I get a little het up about it its not something I take for granted and I guess I feel almost custodial about. I'm sorry if It seemed like I meant all tourists Im a grumpy bugger and should of been a little more thoughtful of my sweeping generalisation. Got heardle in one again today im going to be singing it all day now it's a pesky earworm that's for certain wordle alludes me still think my Brain is broken when it comes to that particular app.
Today's plan is to pack a lunch make sure the ipod is fully charged go find a shady spot and while away some hours
@ColinUK those pictures are stunning
Have a fantastic day where ever it may take you.

5.8 for me today. 🙂

Morning all and 6.3 for me.

Rehearsal this afternoon. Rehearsal studio is in an old mill and it's usually pleasantly cool in there.

Birds water and fatballs need refilling so off and not much the garden when this brew is finished.

Have a good day everyone.
 
It was a nice 5.7 for me this morning but then I blew it by injecting a little too much Fiasp and just dipped into the red (Libre said a very naughty and exaggerated 2.6 but finger prick was a not so bad 3.7. All sorted very easily though.

Many congrats to @freesia and @eggyg on achieving Unicorn days yesterday.

@ColinUK So pleased you are enjoying being out in the countryside. Hope it gives your mental wellbeing a good boost. Looks gorgeous!

@sg295 Good luck with your appointment Sophie. Hope you find the staff at the new hospital empathetic and supportive and you get what you need from the clinic. I found it took me a few appointments before myself and the consultant got onto the same page, so sometimes you have to work at it a bit. Fingers crossed for you.
 
11:20 BS 6.8 🙂

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

Golf watching catching up on me & had a lie in! 🙄 Now have a month to get my body clock back to early waking again for The Open at St. Andrews where my man Tiger will be playing: one of his rounds will be early & the other late, as with everyone else; need the stamina to last the day!:D😉

It never really got dark last night as is always the case around midsummer & it must be more so for those of you further north than me in Scotland! 🙂 But, it’s the season for seeing Noctilucent clouds at night: due to the shallow angle of the sun not that far down the horizon at night it can light up the clouds & make them glow!😎😛 It’s easier to see the further north you are!:confused:
 
Just thought I would let you know the news...

Just been to a local hospital for a hearing assessment.

The bad news is that they confirmed that I have a hearing impairment

The good news is that confirmed that I have a hearing impairment AND prescribed hearing aids....to be fitted in about 8 weeks time.

Mind you I took the opportunity to walk there and back. 165 minutes of walking exercise AND another walk due this afternoon

Thank you @rebrascora

Appointment went pretty well. There seemed to be some sort of confusion about what the appointment was for (communication issues!) so the person I saw was just a general diabetes consultant instead of a pump specialist. However, I had prepared a very long and detailed letter about the reasons why I feel I need a pump, as well as backing it up with clinical evidence and explaining how the specific functions on the pump would combat the issues I’m having. She seemed understanding and empathetic and got me to email some documents, including my letter, over to her secretary to be forwarded to one of the pump consultants. So I think some steps in the right direction are being made 🙂
 
Afternoon

Just quickly popping in between meetings. 8.1 this morning and finally managed to get out running last night, although it was slow I was pleased to do a whole 5k and felt I could do more.

I'll catch up on all your new/posts when I finish work this evening.

No need to apologise @Griffin. I didn't take offence and i hope i didn't offend you with my reply. I know i've often posted on here that we've been somewhere and i didn't want anyone to think we were untidy tourists, maybe i just didn't word it well.

We are up in your neck of the woods in August. Its a beautiful part of the country and we're really looking forward to going back, its been a long time.
 
Ps @Griffin. I got Heardle in 1 second too!!
Although Wordle was frustrating today, i got most of the letters by the third go but there were too many words!
 
hey everyone
17.9 this morning and 11.7 after a further big naps.
Was running a raging temperature yesterday and was all over the place but I think I'm all settled now and bg is somewhat behaving (as badly as normal).

hope you all have had a good day x
 
Good evening folks. Waking BG was 6.8, tho it would make more sense to post bedtime BG at this point!

I'm back to England after a short week in my Spanish hometown. It was beautiful and emotional and nostalgic, and too hot to do any walking so my BG has been a bit higher. I got a haircut and I told all my friends and family I am going to change my job soon, now I hope I'm brave enough to do it. And I got my second dose of Novorapid, to deal with a delicious pasta dish my mom made, and a little piece of leftover cake from my birthday 🙂
