Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning - 4.7

Have a great say everyone.
 
Good Leap Day Morning one and all!

As it’s traditional to turn things on their heads today I’ve captured the diabetes fairy and have taken a reading of her levels. She protested a bit but settled when I showed her she’d got a 5.2 - which any other day would be ideal but today, being Leap Day, is the worst possible reading anyone could have be they human or fairy I pointed out to her.
She’s now whimpering in the corner begging for cake.

My numbers this morning were a perfectly pedestrian 7.2

Looking forward to King & I this afternoon and getting to know the court of the King of Siam.
 
Morning folks. I’m on the Clickety Click step with @Northerner.

@ColinUK it’s an old school friend’s birthday today, she’s 16! I think 29th February should be a Bank Holiday, we manage the other years without it, the country won’t grind to a halt. 😉

We’ve an hour’s babysitting this morning whilst Zara goes for her swimming lesson. This week Eden is coming to ours, we ended up £54 poorer last week with meeting at the pool. £44 in the cafe and £10 in the butchers/deli! Plus, it’s warmer here, that cafe was draughty, the whole place used to be a barn, and the baby changing facilities weren’t brilliant. The food’s better here too, although I haven’t a clue what I’m feeding them when they return. Soup and a sarnie maybe? And of course my now sticky gingerbread I made on Tuesday.

Bit meh here. Yesterday turned out not to be too bad and I did an hour’s gardening without too much back twinging. Things are definitely looking up.

Have a grand day.
 
Morning a 6.7 today and a busy day for once this week.
Have my boss out with me today ( I used to be her boss so we get along fine) and she has said she may ask the big question being a leap day.
I said OK to save us both being locked up for bigamy I will only respond to what flavour ice cream I have as we are at seaside.
Then off on our mini break in North Yorkshire so plenty going on.
Have a good leap day all
 
Morning all, 7.4 here, dropped a half unit off my basal because I was scraping the top of the red for a few mornings this week.
The cat is still in residence. Things didn’t go to plan yesterday evening, and she refused to get into her cat carrier! I’ve obviously given her too good a time here. (She has arthritis and neuropathy in her spine, and can’t be picked up, well, in extremis we’d have to arm ourselves with gardening gloves and a towel, but we haven’t got to that stage yet) so it’s a question of tempting her in with treats. Will try again today.
 
7.6, between having a dog to mind, the hospital visits of someone else and having had a headache all week I’m fairly knackered today. Booked tomorrow off at least.

I first read that as “gardening gloves and a trowel”! In my long sighted defence, those two would normally go together!
I visualised you scooping her up with an extra large trowel! Hope you manage to entice her in or you may have an extra resident for longer than you’d hoped!
 
A 4.7 for me this morning. 🙂

Morning all - been AWOL for my mini break down in Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire (actually not AWOL as I think I did ask permission last week). Had a lovely time and my blood sugars were good because I couldn't snack in the evenings! 7.1 this morning and got a day of gardening ahead but it's bitterly cold out there. Have a good one xxx
 
Morning

5.8 and feel rubbish, have an appointment with the doctor this morning, as yesterday my depression and work stress was so debilitating that I didn’t bake mum a cake for her birthday, I will have to go to Sainsbury’s this morning and buy her one.
 
5.5 on a rather grey and wet Berkshire morning, with more rain forecast. Had a day out yesterday at the Didcot Railway Centre, although it was a bit quiet with not much going on and most of the people there were probably one-time trainspotters around my age (I was one, too) reliving the days of steam. Bunch of kids on a school trip turned up at lunchtime which made it a bit busier. Only one engine in steam, the rest silent. Shame - steam engines that have steam up always sound and smell alive even when at rest.

Usual link-up with the family in NZ on WhatsApp earlier. They've arrived in glacier country after an 8-hour journey down the west coast of South Island and will be there for a couple of nights, taking in both glaciers.

Thursday swim later, then a bit of shopping and some housework. I'm keeping the place tidy as there's just me here but it still needs hoovering, dusting and polishing.

Have a good day, weather permitting.

Good moaning! An 11.3! Was ticking along at what looks like 7.0 - 7.5 till about 2:30 when it started climbing rapidly before I woke with the worse phantom pain in a few weeks. Reckon the adrenalin from the pain caused a liver dump! :( Having a cuppa whilst waiting for the ;pain relief to kick in.

Main thing today is to contact consultant/GP about the antibiotic's, Co-trimoxazole, awful side effects.

To dark to check weather but no rain on kitchen window!

I got back to sleep but when I woke at 7:30 it had risen to 15.1. So it was my normal insulin +5u Actrapid and an extra wait before breakfast! :(

Morning everyone
A horrible morning here, pouring with rain since I woke up and still is. Anyway it was another
lowly 4.6 for me.
Have a good day folks and stay safe.

Good day, my dears! 5'4 for the second day in a row, yay! Nice to see 5s back in the reader.

Guess who came to the hotel for 12+ hours of work (potentially intense) on just 3 hours of sleep? To be realistic, the best I could expect last night was around 5 hours, but I made it worse by falling in the Youtube Shorts rabbit hole. Bit of self sabotage there. I've been snacking all morning at work and probably will pick some leftovers from a wake afternoon tea we are serving later, but I'm giving myself grace. Tomorrow I am off and will have the chance to catch up on sleep and stock the fridge with healthier options. There's not much in there at all, healthy or otherwise!

I brought some Diet Coke for a bit of caffeine and the supervisor was telling me off for drinking it being diabetic. I pointed out it's the sugar free version and she still insisted "it's the worst you can take". Could say it's okay for diabetics to drink diet drinks in moderation (like for everyone), could even mention full sugar coke is a good hypo treatment for many people. What I did was let it come in one ear and out of the other, cause sometimes, you don't have the energy or inclination to argue.
