Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Alarm woke me on a 4.9 again. I'll need to reduce my basal soon so i'm ready for back to work. Its suiting me atm and keeping my levels in check overnight but when i start back 4.9 is too low as i'll need to drive and if i drop, i drop quickly. Its going to be busy so i can't really keep having lows/hypos and getting in late.

Not much planned for today or most of the week. I intend to try and relax as much as i can ready for the next term.

Have a good day whatever you do.
 
Morning all, 7.5 here, Dawn is still squatting here, will try and get an eviction order. Did a brisk (for us, averaged 17 mins 30 sec per mile, and it was a fairly flat route) 6 mile walk yesterday with our son, and had a glass of red wine, that combo normally ensures a low morning reading.
 
Morning. 6.6 but I'm feeling tired as was prepping meals ahead till late last night, so struggling to get going. Better go do my routine covid test now so I don't end up late to work!
 
5.9 for me today. 🙂

Good morning. 5.6 today - getting back into routine!
Son-in-law working in living room as needs peace and quiet. I am off to visit the rest of them later at the seaside cottage, delivering clean laundry and mind set on ignoring mess - after all it will not be me cleaning it up again! Yesterday didn't work out so well although it did prove that I was right not to waste time mopping over the oak floors and shampooing carpets until they were safely back in Oxfordshire...Amazing what fresh chaos can be caused in an hour. Funny that she was such a tidy child.
Beautiful sunny day, temp. outside a lovely 16 degrees, no wind, forecast for lower 20s later.
Dog a happy chappy, horses getting stuck into a fresh paddock, hens puttering about contemplating eggs - new ones managed 2 yesterday, nobody uprooting anything in hydroponics: bliss. |Time for a steak with an egg on it.
Have a splendid day everyone.
 
6.6 this morning.
Weight has crept up a bit since my ankle has been buggered which figures as exercise has fallen off a cliff.
Still it’s not gone up by much and is still trending down over the last 15 weeks so I’ll take that as a win.

Working all day today as my work pattern has had to change to accommodate therapy sessions. Not over keen on working though to 8pm but it’s more manageable if I’m in the office than at home. So I’m in the office all day today.

Enjoy your day today as best as you can everyone.

Good morning folks. Still in the fives, 5.4. I double checked with my meter and it agrees. Really don’t know what I’m doing right this week!

Our Bank Holiday Monday was very productive. Mr Eggy made nine jars of green tomato chutney, there’s absolutely no way our tomatoes are going to ripen anytime soon, not even a hint of blush! The chutney also has apples from our Brambley espalier. We have loads this year. I did a mountain of ironing, made tonight’s tea, lamb kofta curry. It’s a first for me, it smells good. Then I made courgette, lime and ginger loaf using our courgettes which seem to be slowing down now! Thank goodness! Today is our bank holiday and we’re off over the border again, just, but this time, the Northumberland/ Scotland border. Inland this time, we’re heading to the source of the North Tyne River which spans the border, we won’t be in Scotland for long and we’ll then walk towards Kielder reservoir. Better get my insect repellent out, last time we were there the midges invaded! 😱

Have a good day. 🙂

Not meaning to make you jealous but I have 12 tubs in the fridge, gave 2 away yesterday and 3 today. Arrgh.
Was the loaf a bread or cake?
 
09:20 BS 7.5

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

Uhm! Not sure if I went too low yesterday as I had a slight increase in the tingles on my right side with a bit more NR & my readings were about 1mmol lower across the board, this morning too! I’ll keep to yesterday’s doses today & see? :confused: I can go back down again with NR if I need to!🙄

As to blood tests? Looked at the letter & it’s not mentioned at all or have a list of tests & I remember now, having forgotten it as unimportant at the time, the health centre wouldn’t do blood tests for the hospital unless it specifically says so & I only did my usual liver function repeats at the treatment room the last time! I forgot because the hospital phoned ME later that day to get bloods dine at the hospital!

So, I’ll just be on the alert, with landline phone beside me out of the cradle in the hall, for the hospital to call ME if they want bloods done! So, I don’t need to run for the phone: got SO breathless just now because I was pacing distractedly up & down a bit in the hall on the landline; called appointments number from the letter to ask about bloods! No result at all as it was automated menu’s & leave a message after I trawled through the options! I sat down on the sofa as soon as I noticed but, I could barely talk by the time I did so, didn’t leave a message!

The hospital corridors are SO long & I’m NOT looking forward to tackling it next week based on what happened just now! 😱
 
Good morning folks!
I had my first unicorn day in a long time yesterday....
IMG_20220830_000715912[1046].jpg
Had hoped to string a second one onto it for a tandem of unicorns today but my reading this morning was 3.5 according to Libre 😡(4.5 on a finger prick) so that idea is blown out of the water. I wouldn't care but I woke earlier on 4.3 and ate a JB and congratulated myself on catching it in time 🙄 and then went back to sleep and dropped again. @Robin.... Send Dawn this way will you!
Anyway, lots to do today.... collect repeat meds from docs, do some hoof trimming, shopping, cut grass, fill trailer with manure, drive horses. need to crack on... Hope everyone has a good day.
 
Morning good peeps. 🙂 3.6 here.

Not much planned today, just a trip into town for some slippers. There's an old lady that sells grumpy-old-man slippers in women's sizes, oh yeah, my kind of slippers...I'm not grumpy tho! o_O
 
Morning - 7.2 for me this morning which is pretty good was 5.1 yesterday after a roast chicken dinner that included two small roast potatoes ( first spuds in four weeks ) 🙂 have a lovey day everyone.

Greetings all, it is a 5.2 at 8.30 this morning after a 6.6 on retiring last night.

Off now to do a couple of miles on the exercise bike and then I'm going to power wash the drive if I have enough energy left that is......have a good day everyone.
 
Afternoon - nearly forgot to post. Received yet another ridiculous email from the household insurance policy people asking for receipts for every item in the bag that was stolen out of our car + the sweets etc that were in the main body of the car. There was nothing expensive in the bag, just changes of underwear, jeans, shoes - a feather fascinator to wear to the wedding £10, hubby's belt and tie, socks etc etc. Many of these items were bought in supermarkets along with the week's groceries... how many people keep receipts for stuff like that? So spent the morning carefully wording the response, pointing out that it would be totally OCD to keep such receipts and asking very politely but pointedly that they get their fingers out as this has been going on for over 9 weeks now. We've been traumatised enough by the whole business with the crooks who were masquerading as "meet and greet" airport parking. I told them that we were already victims and now felt as though we were being accused of fraud! I feel an official complaint coming on.

Anyway 4.8 this morning.

@Elenka_HM I would have been extremely offended by that woman who made the remark about you looking for a wealthy man. What gives her the right to to make such a degrading comment or even imply that you are here to find a husband, it was a disgusting thing to say. Actually though it would have been nice to have said "Oh, I know where there are many very old rich men in Spain, perhaps I can tell you where, they would appreciate having a woman of the same age as themselves!"

@Lanny HUGS must be horrible to be so exhausted.

50 years ago, it was the sort of comment that was made all the time, any girl wanting to train as a nurse was apt to be asked if she was 'hoping to catch a doctor'. Thank goodness times and attitudes have (mostly!) changed.
 
@Pattidevans I was offended, of course, especially because she assumed that based in my nationality. As usual, the good answers came to my mind when it was too late. One of them would be stare at her husband for a few seconds, turn to her and go "don't worry darling, your man is safe 😉 ".

Unfortunately have to stay polite even with these people, I don't intend to get any man to throw money at me so I better keep the job! :rofl:

That's how my mum snagged my dad LOL! o_O One of my aunties wanted to be a doctor, but my grandad forbid her - her only options were teacher or nurse. She would've made a brilliant doctor, that's the saddest part. She became a brilliant teacher instead.
