Group 7-day waking average?

6.9 this morning.

I’m going to try and write a poem a day. I’ve tried journaling before and have never managed more than about once a week until giving up but feel like trying it this way.

I wrote one yesterday about having ice cream for breakfast Taking of which I’m going to start cooking a chicken cacciatore type thing soon and leave that on all day doing whatever magic it happens inside the slow cooker.

Other than that, work, wobble board time, foam roller time and emailing the gp to see why they didn’t include all the drugs I asked for in my repeat prescription that’s pretty much it for me today.

Have a good one folks!

Do you know Brian Bilston? I follow him on FB and he’s writing a poem everyday in September. He’s really good, funny and topical.
I have a weekly blog on FB, I only have 200 friends. It’s my “literary” output.

Suppose that's true considering the margin of error allowed.
Guess watching what I eat is working, I've been getting mostly good numbers with just a couple of bad ones on days I've eaten more than the current normal.
 
Morning all. 11.2. Dawn paid an unwanted visit

Anyways need to get myself moving and head off for the train to meet Lucy :D
Have a great day everyone x
 
Morning

9.something today

Bruce had his weekly Sunday test as usual, still in the 5's with 5.5

DPD tracing on Saturday morning stated the curtains were due to be delivered today, some hours later got a notification saying they were going to be there Saturday, Bruce didn't want to hang about so he decided as there's a safe place he'd trust them being left there until 10pm last night, RM delivered e liquid yesterday (not sure why they have started doing that for RM 24 & 48 service as they never used to bother and I ain't keen as it comes from a different delivery office) anyway thankfully they left it and took a pic and was relieved to see the curtains were still there, everything fine both deliveries still there when Bruce got home lol xx
 
Had a bad night with phantom pain. Took usual Gabapebtin 8at 10:00pm but pain kicked in badly at 11:00. At 1:00am going up the wall and added an opiate pain killer. Finally got to sleep to be drageed out of it by the alarm at 5:45 as early pickup for appointment. BG an awful 12.9., ☹️ Then hypoed before lunch. Think metabolism was suppressed then caught up. And just took two Paracetamol for an headache. I wonder if phantom pain would go if they developed a leg transplant?
 
Absolutely totally knackered but was brill to see @Lucyr for a few hours for lunch :D (Weatherspoon's was a win)

I swear my bloods better be reasonable tomorrow after feeling like I have climbed a mountain today (but really only walked up Buchannan street in Glasgow).
Anyone got spare lungs I can borrow :rofl:

I’ve just had very bad news about my dad in HK who’s had a very bad fall, unconscious in a coma! The family are flying back to see him before he passes! It’s another death bed journey & I’ve made the hard choice of not going.

My last trip on the plane for mum’s death bed journey in 2015 was very difficult & extremely painful because of the cold temperatures that high up was the start of my neuropathy & I felt it all that summer but, put it down to the air conditioning that was on constantly to make the heat bearable. The pain in my legs on the return flight was the most painful plane journey I’ve ever had! I wasn’t diagnosed until 2017 but, realised afterwards I already had back in 2015.

Covid is very bad with the winter coming up in HK right now & with quarantines I don’t when I’d be back if I go?

I’ve just sent a text back to my brother in HK saying it was a hard choice but, I’ve made it. And I’m sorry!

I’m trying to hold back my tears as I post this.

Brother just texted back saying no worries & to take care of myself.

I feel guilty!

I am so sorry to hear, it is always hard when somebody is so far away but I'm sure he wouldn't want you to put your own health at more risk and he will know your thoughts are with him and the rest of the family.

There is no need to feel guilty, he would not want that.

Oh Lanny, I am so very sorry. I can imagine it must be a very heart rending decision to make, but you know yourself how just a hospital appointment takes it out of you these days let alone flying half way across he world and that is without taking into consideration the Covid situation. It seems very unlikely that he would be aware of who is at his bedside from the circumstances you describe and perhaps you will be able to attend his funeral online. I did that with my cousin and found it surprisingly comforting.

Sending virtual (((HUGS))) from me too.
 
@Lanny I've written and deleted multiple posts with trying to reply to you because I cant find the right words.
I'll try and keep it simple.
I'm sorry you are hurting right now and having the added guilt (unjustified by the way). If I could send myself to your inbox I would jump out and give you massive hugs (and hopefully not scare the heck out of you in the process).
I think it goes without saying that we are all here to support you however we can <3
 
Didn't get chance to post this morning but it was a 4.4 for me after a very restless night partially in double figures despite a 1.5 Levemir increase and going to bed on 5.3 which I thought might be a little risky. Gave it a 2.5 unit correction around 4.30am which brought me gently down to my waking reading which I was very happy with but I have hypoed throughout the day since then.... something like 5 dips into the red 😱 and totally washed out with it now. It is all or nothing sometimes with my diabetes.

Quite proud of the fact that I got Wordle in 4 today as it was rather a tricky one. Got a gold in the first and made it green with the second and got a second green with the third and then took a stab in the dark and nailed it.

Off up to do evening stables and fasten chucks in before it gets totally dark. Fingers crossed my levels are settled now. No idea how much Levemir to inject tonight but I guess it will be a reduction of some sort. 🙄
 
@Lanny, i'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Sending you very big (((((HUGS)))))
 
Morning I tested because I woke up so I'm going to count it it's 7.7

Im not sure I'm going to stick ri this diet I just seem to getting worst.

I'm tempted to go backs to doctors and say look I'm getting worst there's something really wrong but usually just ended up concluding rhats nothing wrong I and can otherwise though. They offer blame it on diabetes or anxiety
 
Good morning 7.1 today

have a great day everybody 😎
