Group 7-day waking average?

And 5.1 for me today too. 🙂

Dez
 
5.6 at 7.45am this morning. Thank you @ColinUK for the description of Rosh Hashanna, @Lucyr, @eggyg and @rebrascora hope you're all feeling better today.
Think I may be coming down with a cold or I've picked up a bit of my granddaughters chickenpox virus :( hope not don't fancy shingles. :rofl:
 
Morning

10.0 for me, not too bad considering I had my first ready meal last night in almost 6 years and 4 custard Creams before bed

A tad nippy this morning
Xxxx
 
Well my basal increase clearly wasn't enough last night. I went with just an extra half a unit because my levels dropped a bit yesterday evening but woke to a 10.0 the first time and graph showing I was 10-11 most of the night (nice level graph but just too high) injected 2 units (or at least I think I did, but maybe I just recorded it and fell asleep before I injected🙄) as I woke the next time to 10.0 again. Hit it with 2.5 units (definitely injected that) and dropped off again and eventually woke up and got up on 8.5..... so that is my official offering I think and it looks better than 10.0 My TIR stats are shot after 2 nights above target!! 😡 I've got it down and under control now though.
Having lunch with a friend today and a good catch up. My friend lives life "BIG STYLE" so I will come away from it with my head spinning. I love her to bits but boy, is her life one drama after the next, some good drama, some bad! If she wrote a book, no one would believe it all happened to one person! I think she has probably fitted twenty lifetimes into just one. We are so chalk and cheese but maybe that is why our friendship works so well. She needs my steadying influence and I need her to get me into mischief occasionally and lead me astray😳. Hopefully the only misadventure today will be navigating the lunch menu with my diabetes. 🙄

@MikeyBikey Range will probably vary a bit for different people depending upon their age and circumstances but most of us using Libre have our range set at 3.9-10 and aim to stay within that range at least 75% of the time. What you have to understand about it is that Libre records your levels all the time, every few minutes day and night, so it catches all your meal spikes and how long they last etc. which you wouldn't normally see with finger pricks if you mostly just test before meals. Finger prick guidance for range is usually 4-7 before meals.
 
Wordle in 3 today which surprised me! I had 3 greens by the second row and could only think of one word. So.... blowing on fingers and brushing them on me emoji...i went for it..and it was right!!!!
 
13:04 BS 15.0 😱😱😱 with my throat feeling on fire & gasping for water which I guzzled down in big gulps then, got up reluctantly to the little girls rroom, wash my hands & test, however long that all took! It was a ROUGH awakening & the half oatcake in my mouth is like sawdust after 24 NR & 84 Tresiba. Now going to get the wool out of my ears feeling before taking my pills! Midday alarm was set for 2.30pm but, taken now, I’m calling it at 1pm so, re set alarm for tomorrow back to midday! I WAS going to go 30 NR as calculated by me & rechecked with the calculator BUT, Tresiba is going in early & I’ll see what a couple of hours, maybe even 3 will do before adding anymore?:confused:

A Very G’day Mates to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

I’m under the weather today & feel miserable! I’m feeling a bit battered: it’s been one thing after another these days! Can’t help a little :( & a Punchbag Being Battered emoji!

I saw a bit of that when I switched the TV on to do my ironing. I love watching food/cookery programmes. Sadly I’d missed most of it. :(

It’s on iplayer 🙂
 
Update on our leak.
Plumber came today and found the problem. The ball **** on the header tank for the hot water was not doing what it should have been doing so the tank was overfilling, it should have been no problem but the people who installed the exterior insulation had removed /blocked the overflow pipe. Whilst we were here and running hot water it had only been a slow overflow but because we were away last week, and no water was being used it was more rapidly overflowing. It had actually leaked all the way down into the hall.
We suspect that was the reason the wallpaper on the stairs was stained as the water had slowly tracked sideways.
We have been on to the people who did the work but 'they will get back to us' I can see a fight on our hands.
At least if it is no longer leaking the wall can start to dry out. We have the dehumidifier pointed at it
Life, don't talk to me about life.
 
05:23 BS 8.4 after half a day, a very short day as I was asleep again before midnight, of aggressive NR doses I wake up on a better reading! 🙄🙂

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

Watched the other 3 episodes of House of the Dragon & things are indeed heating up, towards maybe the end of the season, up to episode 6 BUT, the time gaps between each episode had grown to 10 years between episodes 4 to 5 & 5 to 6 which made things a bit harder to get my head around: little gaps of a year or two earlier in the season were no problem; 10 years is a big gap in which a lot of things change! o_O

Feeling much better today & will dial back the NR today now that I’m a bit nearer target range! 🙂 Throat still feels a bit dry & the heater doesn’t help: have to leave out a glass of water so, the air doesn’t get too dry!🙄 Hopefully just a passing autumn/winter change of season sniffle that doesn’t last long?:confused:

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I know: he was the good guy as The Doctor & pretty dashing as the young Prince Philip in The Crown; now he’s evil but, HE said morally ambiguous in interviews, & it’s a shock to the system! 😱 BUT, he’s getting his acting range widened! :rofl:😉
 
Morning all. 8.4 after a very restless sleep. I was still awake at 2am, tossing and turning so i'm tired now. Its dark outside and its going to be a very long day.
 
7.3

Going to see if I can manage to doze for a couple of hours before I need to get up.
 
5.5 this morning and overnight the cold has taken hold!! Sneezing woke me up 🙄, fingers crossed it passes quickly
