Group 7-day waking average?

7.0 for me this morning (no biscuits). Now my challenge is to get my HbA1C down to in the 40s before my next test in 3 months. I've never been down there with my lowest since being diagnosed being 52 but that was with no insulin so if I can get a reign on my snacks I should definitely be able to do it. Saying goodbye to our builders today who've been here for the last year - I feel a bit emotional, but actually one of them is back in a month to rip out the staircase ready for some others to do some work there so I should probably just make the most of the lull before the storm. Have a great day everyone and anyone struggling I hope you have a peaceful one and a restful weekend xxx
 
Well done @Martin.A on the HS. My reading was 5.1. 🙂

Morning all. @eggyg we’re twins today. 6.4 for me too.

Walked 14,000 odd steps yesterday not really going anywhere but did go to the theatre. Saw Hadestown.
It’s a musical based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Odd experience before curtain up however. I make my way to my seat (middle of second row stalls) and there’s a woman sitting in the adjacent seat. She has a massive bag with her and it’s on the floor. It’s so big it’s meaning that I can’t put my feet on the floor in front of my seat.
I politely ask if she wouldn’t mind popping the bag under her seat.
“I can’t do that! I’m disabled! I’ve got a bad back!”
“I have a disability too”, I say before saying that I was sure the bag would fit under her seat or even under mine.
“I’M DISABLED! Stop HARASSING ME!”
“There’s no need to shout at me. There’s a cloakroom upstairs that could take the bag if that’s better. I’m happy to pay….”
“Don’t bother. I’m going. You’ve ruined this for me because I’m disabled.”
“Don’t go. Let’s just find somewhere for your bag to go and stay for the show.”
“NO! STOP HARASSING ME! YOU’RE ONLY DOING THIS BECAUSE I’M DISABLED!”
At which point she grabs her bag and starts to exit the row.
I’m hoping she’ll go to the house manager and ask to be moved to a different seat or something but as she gets to the end of the aisle she turns and stares at me, points and screams “AND DON’T EVER TOUCH A STRANGER LIKE THAT AGAIN YOU PERVERT!”
The four clearly gay guys behind me gaffaw in hysterics as one of them is someone I’ve chatted to on a location based homosexualist dating app about seeing the show that day (yes I opened Grindr in the theatre bar out of boredom)!

Anyway she screams what she’s said as the house is starting to fill and in front of a member of staff who immediately makes a beeline for me. I think I’m about to be thrown out something. Before the usher can even say a word one of the guys behind pipes up to say that the woman had been rude to them and said homophobic stuff to boot.
Usher asks me what happened and I say I just asked if her bag could be tucked under the seat and she goes off saying that she’s disabled etc.
I said that I’m disabled and on their access list. But that I was OK and it was clearly something else going on for her.
They apologised and went away for a few moments. Returning they said that there were no other access list tickets sold in that row for that performance other than mine. They promptly comped my ticket for the show and credited my account with twice the full ticket price.
They also comped the tickets for the four gay guys in the row behind.
It was very odd and clearly she’s having a bad day but the show was good!

That's one reason I don't go off on one because I don't know fully where the other person is coming from. Which is my goal. I also have one response for people who are toxic and are just up for a fight 24/7 and that's no response.
 
Good morning everyone

Ha haaaa!!! BG 5.2 trumpets. Orchestra. Shouting and cheering. Yesssss!!!!

And then...

This weekend may be a bit tough as it is my wifes birthday today and mothers' day tomorrow. The possible upset will be down to our daughter shutting us out of her life for no reason I can see. Very upsetting to my wife.

And after a troubling, difficult couple of weeks my wife recovered somewhat yesterday and even left the house and came with me (on the bus) to Preston so I could present the nice people at the hospital with an arm full of blood for my six monthly endocrinology tests.

However, I am cooking my wife a nice meal tonight for a quiet evening together. I am hoping that that goes ok.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Morning an up early with walkies.We can’t watch Crufts on telly as one of our dogs barks at the screen thinking there is a doggy hidden in the TV.
As we know this diabetes malarkey can be funny. Went into red just before my Pizza so only had 4u of NR beforehand( then ate 4 big slices straightaway along with other stuff).Had more than usual as wife was away at Quiz so I was home alone.
I did not eat anything else and lay on couch all night and it was fine until it spiked above 10 just before going to bed.
So took 2u as correction and having no carbs inside it took me back into Red.( only time have been in Red in last 60 days) so twice within last 12 hours.
Then bumped along in 4s and woke to a 5.2( no dodgy maths).
Anyway have a good w/ end all
 
Morning folks. 6.4. I really don’t want to be up this early on our first day of not having to go anywhere/receive visitors but, alas, the old body wasn’t having it. I’ll just chill.

Mr Eggy’s eye vastly improved, he got into his greenhouse yesterday with Zara and they potted on the tomatoes, chillis and peppers and they’re on a heated mat. They also planted carrot and coriander seeds, separately that is, they’re not a new hybrid vegetable which you can turn into soup. 😉

Just a pottering about day today. I’ll probably spend most of it reading.

Have a spectacular Saturday.
 
Gwynn our posts crossed so well done on HS and yes occasions like Mothers Day/ Birthdays bring different emotions.
Hope it is not too traumatic.
You talking about Preston bus station reminds me visiting our son at UCLAN and visiting the infamous bus station.
Was it not being redeveloped as I am going back 15 years.
