Group 7-day waking average?

late posting i thought i had posted before we went out to the gym it was a 5.4 for me BS went stupid at the gym no idea why, had that and boiled eggs before going out, BS was 6.2 before eating, went up to 8.1 after 90 minutes, then at the gym an hour later it shot up to 11.7 then 30 mins later went to 7.4. ive not been in the orange for weeks
 
What a day. School trip today and i've struggled to keep levels up all day. I had a hypo just after i got home but despite all the glucose, its not gone above 4.5. I bet it will all kick in later and i'll be too high. Mind you, i've now managed 93%TIR in 7 days with only 1% low. Pretty pleased with that.
 
Late to the party today, I had a 4.9 this morning. According to my BG, the UTI infection looks to be disappearing, so that’s something. Still feeling a bit fed up with things, but after re-reading so many lovely helpful comments from the other day, I have started to feel a bit more positive.

Keeping the positive note, our nesting Blue Tit seems to be starting to sit on the nest - now 8 eggs!

@harbottle - congratulations on your HS.

@Gwynn - sorry to hear things haven’t been too good on your last call, stay strong and take care of yourself. It’s always darkest before the dawn and a new day will surely shine brightly for you.
 
Good morning. 5'1 today.

We broke our situationship yesterday. It was a calm and adult conversation and I think it is the best for me, but I am very sad anyway. I'll probably be lonely for a while, I don't have more friends in my town. I must look for ways to meet new people, not to date, just to socialise.
 
Good morning - 4.3

RS Paper 1 today - the first in the proper exam series.

Have a great day everyone.
 
Morning a 6.5 for me and another routine but longish day as have an Evening Meeting in North Wales but not back too late.
Up early again and walked the hounds who settle back down so can grab an hours rest on sofa.
Best wishes all
 
9.6 for me today.

Have a good day
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.2 yesss
BP has returned to normal but that's due to meds. I will start to wean myself off the meds and see how things go.

Had a lovely call from my wife yesterday evening just slightly marred by her fear that 'other' people have been into the house whilst she is away. It's been a common theme for years. She cannot cope with anyone else in the house, so no visitors for years, not even family, except my one friend. Go figure.

Today I will tackle making bread and not destroying my wifes bread maker. We came up with a genius plan last night so we will try to talk on the phone with her giving guidance as we go. Sounds like it could be fun and a good way to interact. Normally it wouldn't phase me but the bread making machine is most definitely her province!!! So I'd better not wreck it.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning all. 5.4. Tired this morning after yesterday, a hypo before bed and an early morning all from mum's care line. Its going to be a very long day

Good luck @Lily123
 
Morning folks. (My emojis are still AWOL - I’m smiling!) 5.1 here.

Thursday’s my longest day of the week, then Friday’s admin day, so once I’ve got through today it’s plain sailing into the weekend, more or less, woohoo!

Good luck @Lily123.
 
Morning all, 7.6 here, Off at the crack with my daughter to watch horses doing the dressage phase at the Badminton three day event. For once, I think the ground has dried up enough for the shopping village and car parks not to become a mud bath, I’m risking stout walking shoes instead of the usual wellies.
 
Good morning 7.0 today

@Gwynn congrats’on the HS & good luck with the bread making
have a great day everyone 😎
 
Sorry realised haven't posted on. I was going to say dexcom says 7.7 and finger pick says 9.5 (only inserted it yesterday so thought make sure it was working probably) but dex saying caught up. I had a phone call with restart at the moment(really I would be better off not being on the restart it's more unhelpful then helpful really). She said they had heard feedback from my job and they apparently they felt I wasn't performing due compared to the other members of team (just to repeat it had been 6 shifts 3 were cut short so I don't think it's a fair comparison(there's another thing that make it not a fair comparison). I made the mistake of not talking them though dyspraxia even though I have put down though on form. And she was like "this is what I wanted you to talk to you about because that doesn't stop you from worker does it," and I was like "no it but oes effect things where I might need extra support"(meaning things put in place to allow me to do as well as others sometimes that could mean more time to get the same level or other stuff like reasonable adjustments that would be the same for any type of job). She said "because I have friends with dyspraxia and as far as I understand the only real things it affects is your coordination your balancev and your balance" she aslonsaof "you lost two jobs due to your performance"(she won't expect the first one was a misunderstanding or lie even though the person i spoke to at universal credit right it happened did)
 
4.3 today for me, yay! Finally, back into my normal range!

Did a bit too much yesterday, my wife wanted to look at bathrooms for a future project here and I found getting in and out of the car many times caused quite a bit of discomfort with the catheter. Luckily paracetamol stops the discomfort. Can’t wait to get my appointment and hopefully get rid of the catheter.

@Lily123 - good luck with your exam today!

@Gwynn - glad you had a better call with your wife, good luck with the bread making!

Take care everyone!
