Group 7-day waking average?

It was 6.3 for me much earlier this morning.
Congrats to @eggyg on your unicorn and @MeeTooTeeTwo on yet another house special and another birthday. Belated best wishes Dez. Hope you had a good'un!

I have every respect for the Queen, and it is very sad, but I am not sure she would have wanted to see the wholesale cancellation of so many events but as long as they are done respectfully, things could have carried on and the opportunity taken for people to show her the honour she deserves.
Just as people were getting their lives back.

I agree, especially after all the preparation involved in most events. I'm happy to report that the Ironman has gone ahead after all, and the participants for the triathlon that was cancelled can join Swansea's triathlon next weekend. 🙂

my bug-chewed and messy garden is now in fashion.

Snap! In fact, as I was doing a bit of garden tidying this morning (a definite No-no! according to GW), I came across two teeny toads, awwww, so I shall be keeping my tidying to a minimum. (If I want to look at an exceptionally tidy garden, I can look out of my bedroom window at the perfect paradise - not a blade of grass out of place or a weed in sight - that is my neighbours' garden).

A friend was going to football but only a shortish drive locally. But as he said other people travel some distance by train (and a few even fly) whilst some even have a night in a hotel. Probably 500,000 football fans were affected. Throw in other sports maybe a million people in total!

P.S. And I am a supporter of the Royal Family! Crown emoji...

it was 5 for me this morning.
 
Good morning - a bit of an early one. Did one of you post that blasted fairy my way? 7.4. Didn't feel very well yesterday, aching all over, intermittently boiling hot and sweating copiously, despite cool weather, and at 1600 hours bg was 14.9 so maybe I've picked up a fleeting infection? Feeling a bit better this a.m.
Mr Wolf had his BF over for a play date yesterday, the pair madly circling the fields at full speed, tongues hanging to their knees. Alex and Carla took 22 year old Louie out for a hack - Alex solemnly riding escort on my electric tricycle - before returning for Alex to chainsaw up a huge pile of logs to get them to a size which can be split and which will go into the woodburning cooker. Still awaiting "Ginger Keith" to take down some big ash which need an expert with a large saw but still have several tons of logs to haul to the yard. Mr Putin can put his energy threats up his bum....although I feel desperately sorry for the young an old who have no alternative to bottled gas or oil.
Finding the wall to wall coverage of the Queen's death downright irritating. Her father's death, which I can recall, didn't generate this degree of news wipe out and he was well loved as well as rather younger at 57. Done in poor chap by war time stress and smoking. Elizabeth took on a job which she didn't want (who would?) and did it as well as our daft unwritten constitution allowed and has died at a great age. Duty done she should be allowed to depart celebrated and respected for her loyalty to her oath but without all this false media hysteria.
I am no royalist, inherited jobs and great wealth annoy me, particularly given the state of the UK and world's poor, but have my doubts that a republic would be much better - if the monarchy is not to survive then we need a much better constitution to preserve us from an elected nutter like Trump. It will be interesting to see what King Charles IIIrd makes of the job - he certainly has a hard act to follow.
 
It was 11.4 but I actually ended up having a doughnut last night got a pack of 4 in a too good to go order(I was going to eat it before but I was really high then so didn't but for some reason I was still awake and ending! Eating in the middle of night) and dropped a fair bit afterwards so had something to eat which either wasn't needed or not as much was needed
 
Morning. 10.3. Don't want to get up. Its dark. Bit stressed about things.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.2 yesssss !!!!!!

Yesterday was a very good day. Church was good. My wife cooked the tea (unusual) and excellent it was too. It was a variation of my chicken and beansprouts. She added carrots, baby corn, mangetout, egg noodles, lits of Teryaki soy sauce, and about 3 tons of black pepper.

Today not much planned except updating the App databases for Omega 3 and Omega 6. The code and form uppdates are complete, I just need the raw data now. Oh and lots of walking exercise too.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Good morning 6.9 today

Have a great day everybody 😎
 
Good morning everyone. I’m on the 6.7 step with @Northerner. I’m happy with that as I was perilously close to eating my way through a block of Kendal Mint Cake at 11pm! We had a late, big lunch yesterday and I still wasn’t that hungry at 9pm, but decided I’d have half a sandwich. I couldn’t finish it of course, and as I’d bolused for eating it all I was a low 4.3 at 10pm with loads of active insulin coursing through my body. Ate a piece of cake, reluctantly, went down to 3.8, then 3.6! Checked with meter, spot on. I had to wait to go to bed, and I was absolutely shattered. By 11pm I had risen to the dizzy heights of 5.6.I reduced my basal by 1.5 units and went to bed, hoping the cake would hit soon. Mint cake sat on my bedside cabinet. Woke at 2.30, BGs 8.2, was happy at that. Goodness knows what it would have been like if I had had the mint cake! It’s a juggling act isn’t it? 😱

Chucking out day today, thank goodness! I am a broken woman. Yesterday was adventure park with kids, then a walk around the remainder of the parc we hadn’t done, then a large chaotic lunch in the on site pub, half an hour break, then crazy golf ( we took Zara to the park as she kept pinching everyone’s golf balls! ), home to gather swimming kit and in the pool at 6pm, which was good fun. Back to lodge for 8pm. We’ve had a great, but very hectic and tiring time ( for us anyways), lovely to spend some quality time with the family but …..I can’t see us doing it again! Mostly because we are now bankrupt! 😱They’re getting a jumper and a selection box for Christmas this year and probably the year after! I maybe should have mentioned to them last Christmas that the holiday to Center Parcs was their Christmas/ birthday presents until we pop our clogs!:rofl:

We’re just checking out and going straight home, the rest are staying on the parc and going swimming again/ arcades, play parks etc. We will mostly be having nana naps today. Thank goodness we only live 25 minutes drive away. Have a good day all and congrats @Gwynn on the HS.🙂

Here’s a pic of one of the many red squirrels running around the forest.

I didn’t sleep other than about 11:30 till 2:00. Second night in a row so really need to catch up tonight. Bg was 10 but that was at 2am, will check again soon before breakfast.

It’s a hotel “serve yourself buffet breakfast” which I suspect means just spiky options so going to chance a significant prebolus (30 mins, usually need 45) on the assumption I’ll eat carbs within 15 minutes of going down to breakfast.

Haven’t got a clue what the options are so perhaps risky strategy but if I choose a modest number of carbs to eat, bolus for that, then do a second bolus if I eat more than that, it hopefully smooths the spike a bit. Just that I don’t need a bg mountain when I’m exhausted.
 
Good morning everyone! Thought I’d take part in this thread for the first time! 5.9 this morning, much better than Saturday and yesterday when I was rudely woken with the Libre alarm going off at 3.9!
 
5.8 for me today. 🙂
Rain, rain and then more rain forecast.

Dez
 
Make room for another one on the 6.7 step please!
