Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning! Just crept in under the "moaning" line at 9.8. My 7-day TIR is now back at 80% after hitting 45% a week ago. 14-day and 30-day ones tell their story being in the mid-sixties. With this Doxycycline you virtually need to check every half-an-hour! Annoyingly the hypos haven't registered.

Cloudy!

Good morning. 6.3

Neighbour came and cut the lawn nearest the house - which was kind. Managed to dissuade her from attempting the rest as she looked exhausted. Man coming to demonstrate ride on Tuesday or Wednesday. Should solve the problem but will put a hole in my sinking fund.

Weather today grey, cloudy, cooler, with moderate breeze. Not planning on doing anything - think pain is reducing so making sure to encourage it in the right direction.

Wishing everyone a good week.
 
The thunderstorms and heavy rain gave us a miss yesterday and we had another nice, sunny day but I saw some horrendous footage on News at Ten of torrential rain to the west of us, and at Old Trafford during the Man U v Arsenal game on Sky. Hope no one's had to mop up. Overcast, cool and breezy here this morning though and 5.7 when I tested.

Nothing I'd planned to do yesterday got done as my wife and I spent most of the day working in the garden. There were jobs we wanted to get done before the rain arrived, but it never did. Oh well, at least they're done and out of the way. Will do my M&S trip today, then.

Enjoy your start to the week.
 
Morning everyone

And it's cool and breezy here this fine sunny morning, and it was a 6.3 on the finger prick.

Have a good day folks and stay safe.

5.0 this morning for me.

Just about to drop off to sleep last night when we got a call from Careline to say my father had fallen and couldn’t get up. So, 40 minute drive to get him safely into bed, no harm done. Definitely better than them calling for the paramedics as it would have been classed as low priority, at least we were able to provide help within 40 minutes.

I have a week of waiting, hoping the Tamsulosin does its job in time for a hospital appointment next week. As I’m self funding this I made an enquiry about health insurance but at around £180pm I don’t think I’ll be doing that, especially now we’re both retired!

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all and 5.9 for me. An extremely wibbly wobbly graph but we got there in the end.

Spectacular storm last night. Rumbling its way up and down the valley for hours with a fine display of fork lightening.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all.12 9 for me this morning.Dont know where that came from Due to change sensor in a few hours it's been acting up since saturday.no signal alarms See what happens.Hooe everyone is in good spirits and have a good day folks
 
Morning all - and what a wet one it is. Been raining for hours, but forecast to clear up by 1pm, if you can ever believe the Met office.

9.1 this morning. Looking at the graph I guess I didn't take enough insulin for dinner, which we ate latish, though it was only cold meats and salad.

Enjoyed catching up on two episodes of Race across the world last night. One of which was set in Thailand, a country we visited many times when flying and had several holidays in during the late 90's. A beautiful country that, unfortunately, is being spoiled by tourism. Then watched Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour set in Venice which we also enjoyed. We had a short break there several years ago and have kept on saying we'll go back, but haven't got round to it yet. Didn't sleep well, probably cos we were too hot as we still have the winter duvet on. Will change it today.

I don't know how big a pot you need but I bought one of the big floppy truggs and cut the handles off and drilled some drainage holes and it is doing good so far with a shrub in. I balked at the price of an equivalent sized pot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I saw some there and did wonder, but the tree is on display on top of pebbles in a prominent position and I felt it wasn't the answer, although if we perhaps moved it somewhere less prominent it might work.

Lots of love to all those having a hard time.

Have a good day all.
 
5 on the libra this morning 5.2 monitor, was very impulsive late last night and booked a week away in Cornwall starting this coming friday, so now its panic packing and lists I have to have lists or i know i will forget something, so it shopping today for the essentials, not sure what i am going to do as there apparently is a Cream Tea provided by the owners on arrival, its going to be hard not to have any have a good day everyone.

We love Cornwall and have returned every year since our first time there 8 years ago. These days we always book self-catering in Fowey and arrange an online shop with Sainsbury's to arrive after we've checked in, in time for our evening meal. Saves having to try and get a load of groceries into the boot, or having to check in and then immediately go shopping. Long drive from where we are so we've also started to break up the journey with an overnight stop before pushing on after breakfast the following morning. Enjoy your week, and your cream tea (if you dare).

Whereabouts in Cornwall are you going? Pack layers - weather is very very changeable here in Cornwall at the moment. This morning it was lashing down, now it's hot! As far as the cream tea is concerned, you are allowed a bit of latitude you know! Eat half the scone and dose the appropriate insulin. Most scones are approx 35g carb. The clotted cream may slow down absorption of carbs. You can always do a correction.

were staying Launceston, North Cornwall unfortunately i am only on Lantus once a day ive never been given anything else.
 
Morning All and a 6.3 for me and another Unicorn so getting a bit of consistency at the moment with waking BG level and Time in range.
Quiet day yesterday at the seaside,no nice lunch so back home early and a rainy but routine day on the Wirral today.
Anyway routine or exciting day planned hope it goes well for each and every one of you.
 
Good morning everyone. Looks a bit dark and wet out there!!

BG 5.0
 
Morning all. 6.1 after a night spent tossing and turning. I was too hot, too cool, restless legs, toilet a few times, couldn't get comfortable.
 
Morning

6.8 but as I had been to Bakeclub and eating far too much sweet stuff and most of the savoury was in pastry, I am actually quite pleased with that.

Starting back with my eating plan today, wanted to get Bakeclub out of the way first.

Very grey here today and for most of the next week.
 
Morning all, 5.8 here. I had a long period awake in the middle of the night. I cooked a stir fry yesterday evening and used a sachet of hoisin sauce, and I’ve noticed the effect before, it must be one of the spices in it. I’m very sensitive to caffeine in coffee and tea, I have to have decaf after 6pm, and this had a similar effect.
