Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Lovely lovely day!

4.2 this morning at 08:30. Ate a JB. Not sure where things are now as I am awaiting a new sensor starting up.

A friend dropped in unexpectedly yesterday morning, so invited her and her partner to join us for the BBQ yesterday afternoon. We had a lovely time! However all the melamine crockery needs hand-washing and by the time the guests left we were exhausted, so it's still all sitting in the kitchen awaiting attention!

Congratulations @Robin on your 2nd HS.

@ColinUK well done on your bargain.... hope it helps in the job search.

Have a good day all.
 
Morning all and 5.7 for me.

Pleasant walk to the shop for the paper which must mean it's time for a brew.

Wrote some music for strings yesterday as a break from sorting out what I need to play live with the band. It's quite tricky distilling all the overdubs into something you can play with two hands without resorting to loads of pre recorded sequences.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all. high 14s today
yesterdays headache and feeling off has progressed to chest being full of gunk and sore throat. Son feels about the same.
Going to try and push on and get some bits and bobs done and both do a lateral flow at some point before he goes to work tomorrow.
Think I injected water this morning, Had a yogurt and lots of fiasp but its not wanting to budge. Will see if lunchtime correction does anything meaningful. 🙄

Mine was 9.1, an hour late had dropped to 8. These readings are unusual to me as have been reading around 7.2 for past week normal can be anything from 5.6 to under 7. A bit concerned to say the least.

I’m not sure if this thread is still active, but taken my bloods again just before lunch and found they are normal at 5.8 and dropped from 9.1 on getting up.

Hi and welcome to the thread. Yes it is still active as you can see from the posts after yours and it is in fact the most active thread on the forum. Did you have a question about your levels? A one off high is nothing to be overly concerned about. It might be something you ate the night before or a rogue test strip or you might be coming down with something. It can happen that the first sign of an infection will be a raised BG even before you start top feel unwell. Not saying that is the case but all just things to ponder. In the scheme of things a 9.1 isn't a big deal as long as it comes down and doesn't become a trend. It may even just be that you tested a little later this morning and it was caused by Dawn Phenomenon or Foot on the Floor syndrome, depending upon when you tested. As you will see from other posts on this thread, some people have much higher morning readings. In the short term it isn't a problem.
 
G'day all. I was over the moon this morning with a 5.4 wow if I'd taken it before actually getting out of bed I might have got a house special! 🙂 After just one week doing low carb and walking a bit daily. I was in high double figures for months and had to call a halt to it. Lovely day, sunny, but not looking forward to next week's heatwave. Have a good day all.
 
Good morning sunny Sunday 6.9 today

so haven’t been posting and testing every morning, and towards the end of last week I had a few higher than expected readings which following the way the eye department spoke to me back the beginning of last week was all a bit un-necessarily and found it a bit upsetting,
was basically told (by eye dept) in not so many words being Diabetic is all my own fault.
eyes, feet these conditions are all my fault for being uncontrolled diabeti,
I felt like telling her I’m here for eye treatment - mind your own busines, but kept my cool JUST !

So next week I have a telephone consultation with Diabetic consultant from the hospital (Tuesday afternoon)
plus a routine medication review with my GP (phone call) on Wednesday,
might speak to both of them about how I was made to feel by the eye Dr
😎
 
Good morning Monday 5.8 today

Have a great day everybody 😎
 
Morning all. It’s not good I’m afraid, 9.4! At first I was convinced it was my sensor. It’s on its last full day and is starting to peel off a bit. But, alas, my meter concurs! I’ve had an upside down unicorn night, as it appears I almost was 100% OUT of range all night! Very unusual for me, I didn’t bolus early enough for my tea, as I got distracted ( sparrowhawk in the garden). I had rice (nemesis) and I’ve woken with a sore throat and a stiff neck, and have had the most restless night. :( Oh dear, doesn’t bode well. Youngest daughter has had swollen glands, along with a stiff neck, for the last week. Eldest daughter‘s work place is rife with COVID, and I was out with a dozen folk on Saturday night! Hoping it’s just the start of a common cold, not succumbed to the ‘rona yet, its only a matter of time I suppose.😱 Then again, it’s maybe the rice! Fingers crossed!🙂

Zara day today, just a quiet one after the hectic last few child care days. A bit of a play, Mr Tumble/Teletubbies on the TV, nap, lunch and a walk to the park. Don’t know what Zara is planning on doing though! :rofl:

Have a great day. The weather is apparently going to warm up a tad I believe. 🙂

Photos of the sparrowhawk that distracted me, she’s ( I think it’s a young female) been here every evening for a few days now. Sits for ages on various clothes posts!
Also photo of my upside unicorn night! 🙄

Morning all, 7.1 here, put my basal back down and Dawn arrived with a vengeance. Had a peaceful nights sleep with the windows open, the North wind blew all the sound from the music festival in the opposite direction all weekend. Now it’s over, if we could have some rain-bearing Westerlies, would that be too much to ask? The garden is still parched.
I'm jealous of your sparrowhawk, @eggyg , haven’t seen ours for ages.
 
Morning all. 8.0 and feeling awful.
Tested positive for covid last night but knew that was coming 😉
So far a raging temperature, horrible chest with aches and headaches thrown in for fun.

Heading back to bed now paracetamol has started to work, hopefully for a better sleep this time around.
 
5.4
This was after a dinner yesterday of ox cheeks in a red wine sauce, celeriac mash and rhubarb and custard!
BG didn’t budge at all from that even with the healthy portion of dessert.

BP 108/65 and 59 pulse.

@eggyg Your sparrow hawk is beautiful. I’ve never seen one before I don’t think.
I can take a pic of the pigeon who sits on the balcony railing often but I think you win!
