Group 7-day waking average?

5.3 this morning and then logged onto patient access to see my hba1c from last Friday was 38!
I'm gobsmacked, as I've been very bad at taking the Metformin and been eating more carbs, including a hanging kebab and chunky chips last Monday and seeing higher readings for other reasons.

No cholesterol results yet. Must be bad.
 
After a couple of bright and sunny Berkshire mornings the rain's back and it looks pretty grey and miserable out there. Just as well I managed to give the grass a haircut yesterday. Garden's coming to life again and so many of our shrubs have buds on, so hopefully it'll be a mass of colour soon.

My IBS didn't give me any grief at all yesterday so looks like I'm done with that flare-up. My post-meal reading last night was where it normally is after a BBQ Chicken Salad. Likewise this morning's 5.4 on waking.

Our eldest futsal team came away from Manchester with a win thanks to a late equaliser and a last-minute penalty, so he was buzzing when he got back just after 10:30 last night. Up to 4th and into a play-off spot. Highlights of all 4 of yesterdays games are on TNT Sports 2 at 12:30.

Back to a full house today with two WFH and the other with no shift on a Monday.

Safe journey @eggyg and @Lucyr, congrats on another HS @Gwynn and that's a fantastic HbA1c result @harbottle

Have a good start to the week all.

Woo hoo! Cholesterol is OK as well.
 
Morning all and guess what... it's not only grey it's raining. It did that all yesterday afternoon too! At this rate we'll never get into the garden to prune.

6.8 this morning.

We've been invited to a friend's for lunch today, so I am looking forward to that and I shall eat whatever is put in front of me and correct BGs later if necessary!

Wishing good journeys to @eggyg @Lucyr and @Barrowman and good holidays at the end of the journey.

Congrats to @Gwynn on yet another HS.

@Eternal422 I'm enjoying hearing about your adventures and seeing your photos. Keep on keeping on!

Have a good day all.
 
Just been told to stop taking Metformin, as well.
 
Good evening everyone. 6'7 this morning.

I received a generic email from the company I work for, something along the lines of "thanks for all your hard work, we have done a pay review and are pleased to announce your wage has increased to...". Almost like it was their idea and not due to an increase of the National Minimum Wage! 🙄 When the national one changed last year they rounded up a few pence, but this time they are sticking to the minimum. It's still an increase tho and that's always welcome.
 
Morning. 8.2
BP is highish too at 138/82 with HR 68

Can’t be anything to do with the fact that SOIT replied yesterday and we’ve got a meeting set up for later today where I’m going to open up about everything I’m feeling regarding the investigation. I’ll probably cry but I’ve decided that I won’t decide there and then if I’m withdrawing support for the case or not. It wouldn’t be fair to anyone if I make that kind of decision in the moment and don’t hear what the police say before thinking it over some more.
Oh and the skin condition that the antibiotics cleared up is back so I’ve asked for more of those from the GP. Other than that all is good.
 
Good morning - 5.6

Have a great day everyone.
 
Morning as Victor Meldrew would say I don’t believe it but for the 2nd time in less than a week I have exactly the same as Northerner a 6.6.
He is up much earlier so I am just a follower so if I can persuade him to rack up a HS first thing I will be on Cloud 9.
Anyway am in good company and I am going to Bangor today so the song “ didn’t we all enjoy the day trip to Bangor will be my theme tune of the day.” and I will be singing it to myself on the A55.
Wonder what song the Eggys treated themselves to on the journey to Brighton.
Then it really is the run down to Easter and rally looking forward to the break.
Anyway what ever tune you select for the day pick a good one.
PS Feel for you Colin at this difficult decision time but you are right to decide this when you are in a more considered emotional state.
 
4.8 for me… after over a week of no Metformin.
