Group 7-day waking average?

Also got in 4, but sat there for ages trying to work out every permutation of where my 3 correct but misplaced letters could go. Then eventually the light dawned. OH hasn’t tackled it yet, I’m looking forward to the blank/puzzled expression.

I failed and lost my streak! I could kick myself!
Mr Eggy still pondering, he’s gone to pack, hoping it’ll occur to him. I’m not giving him any clues!

Morning all. 4.8 for me. I managed a 98% yesterday which i'm happy about after my levels Tuesday and Wednesday.

Congrats to @Gwynn and @Robin on your HS. @goodybags happy birthday for yesterday. @rebrascora i hope your levels settle.

@eggyg it was boiling in our house when we got home. The sun is fully on the back of our house from 12-7, the hottest part of the day! We closed the curtains on the back and opened the windows on the front to catch an occasional breeze then put the fan on. It didn't cool downstairs until around 10pm and upstairs stayed hotter for ages.
We went to Whitby, it was lovely, we visited quite a few places around there and did so much walking my feet are still swollen. I recorded our walks, we did just under 40 miles over the week (that is a massive amount for me!). Have a lovely break. County Durham is somewhere i would like to go.

Have a good day everyone. Stay safe in the sun.

I love Whitby, our first holiday together in 1978! In a caravan on the cliff tops past the abbey. Walking up those steps everyday was a killer!
Well done on your mileage in this heat. I’ve done 3.5 miles this week!

It wasn't too bad with the sea breeze and plenty of stops for drinks. We couldn't have done it without that breeze!
 
6.4 for me this morning, may be FOTF though as it has gone up overnight without any food etc for the previous 17 hours! last food at 5pm and then lay in until 10am at 8.30pm my reading was 6.3, went on a late night walk at 11pm and apart from water had nothing to drink or eat until my morning reading, I always wonder how it can rise when no food is eaten over a long period of time. I guess there really is a lot of glucose stored in my liver 🙂

Watching Lucifer on Netflix today as sitting in a dark room with a fan on waiting for the thunderstorms (I love thunder)

Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the weekend.

Internet friend in Ireland has a Metrological Office warning for thunder from 3:00pm this afternoon. Apparently it may include rain and hail! ️☔
 
Morning everyone. 7.9 but slowly rising. Suppose I had better sort some brunch out and bust out the fiasp.
Still nada on the coffee tasting front.

No plans today. Still not really feeling up to much.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂 Altho I suspect by the time I’ve sent this it will be afternoon:rofl:

11.6 on waking today compared to 8.3 and 8.4 the past 2 days - overall though my blood sugar is more in range after altering my ratios - it just tends to go a bit haywire overnight

It’s way too hot 😳 not sure how much more of this heat I can tolerate - may need to move to Antarctica at this rate

Apparently it is minus 60 degrees C in antarctica right now. Might need to take a pair of gloves or two 🙂
 
Afternoon

8.2 for me this morning, but I did forget to take any meds yesterday. Been out for a nice long walk with my friends, it was too hot even at 8.30 this morning for us to run, so we did a nice long walk instead, then stopped for coffee and a nice chat. Going out this afternoon to meet another friend for coffee and chatting.
congratulations @Gwynn and @Robin on your HS.

we might get some rain or possibly storms tomorrow, although the temperature is still predicted to be around 29 degrees, so although cooler than the past few days it will still be hot, Tuesday onwards change of some more rain and more normal temperatures of 24.
 
Hello all. I'm the Wicked Witch in Wizard of Oz. Agh. :D

Bloods seem to have stabilised after sticking to low carb for a week, down from double figures, very pleased. 6.4 this morning. Stay cool all.
 
4.8 on waking about 6 am this morning, went downstairs and let dogs out, fed & walked them. Took bloods before breakfast at 8.40 am now 5.6!
Sea fret here this morning, in a rush to get dogs out and home before sun burnt it back. Very warm here again, I love it 😎
 
Good afternoon! 5'9 this morning. The pen I was using had little insulin left, and I was 2 units short of my usual dose. I thought I could leave it like this just for today, eating a few less carbs and considering I'm working and walking in the heat. My BG before lunch shows is working well, so far.

Last night I got a tip from some lovely customers in a big table, they made my colleague call me to give it to me personally, which is unusual for me. They thanked me and said the service was excellent, which made me even more happy than the cash (tho I'm keeping that as well, thanks!) 😉
 
Evening all

I was 10.something this morning and Bruce was 0.4mmol up from last Sunday at 5.8

Thunderstorm warnings have been in place since midday but we haven't seen any, yet, it's been roasting like it has for days now xx

On the BBC they are kooing the cool down and rain until Tuesday. I might just go back to looking out the window like they did on Radio Caroline! 🙂

Morning 9.1. I seem to be waking up early.
 
3.1 for me today!! I felt really quite unwell and was restless all night with the heat, so got up and did a test. I was so shocked as havent had any low readings before so took a photo to make sure I wasnt dreaming! I know this isnt a good thing as such, but as I am type 2 and not on meds am I too beleive I wont have a hypo as not on insulin, Will it settle if I have my breakfast, or should I just carry on as normal as my doctor doesnt even expect me to test my blood so I would be oblivious if I hadnt got a meter
