Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

5.4 today, only plans are reading and attempting to knit again, yesterday I felt dizzy as soon as I picked up my knitting. No trick or treaters last night which is surprising as we live in on a massive housing estate.

@eggyg and @goodybags - congratulations on your HS.

@Snowwy - enjoy your trip and congratulations on your anniversary

Morning type one brittel for forty years this month , if I go below 6.7 it keeps going down this morning it was 8.9 . How long after food do you retest your blood.

Don't you have a continuous glucose monitor, either a Libre 2+ or Dexcom? If not I should ask your consultant or DSN for one, all T1s are entitled to them. That way you can see where your BGs are all the time.
 
Morning all - unlike yesterday when it was sunny all day, today is grey and dreary, but at least no wind.

6.4 this morning - as good as I can expect from the HCL.

Well, after all the fuss yesterday (running to Morrisons for supplies) the spinach polenta was a huge disappointment and the pork chops were tough. Making a cottage pie today.

We only had one ring on the door last night which wasn't surprising as we didn't have decorations or a pumpkin outside and the village children know not to knock on doors where there are no decorations. I felt a bit mean, but to be honest I had completely forgotten the pumpkin/decorations thing.

Congratulations @eggyg and @goodybags on your HSs.

Have a good one folks.
 
Was a 6.9 for me this morning.Bloody fireworks going off all last night .Though they have been since September.Back in the day it was only Bonfire night .Now goes on till Xmas and New year.and during the day as well.Now tripping over discarded pumpkins coming along the road Rant over Just getting warmed up till I go food shopping this afternoon.Congatulations to @ eggy g and @goodybags on your Hs.Stay safe folks .And watch them discarded pumpkins

We're away for a couple of days, back tomorrow, but today we have come to Swanage. Its a lovely day with sun in and out but mild. @Martin.A isn't it Swanage you go to? Just had a lovely walk on the pier and all the way down the front. Now stopped for a glass of wine overlooking the sea. If this is retirement, its lovely.

Yes, we've been to Swanage several times, staying at a B&B, a Youth Hostel (with a group of friends) or just as a day trip. The Isle of Purbeck is one of our favourite UK regions, up there with the Cotswolds.

You may have noticed that there are hundreds of plaques fixed to the pier floor. You got one if you donated to the pier renovation and could pick your own inscription. Our friends group one says Thrown Together, Friends Forever because we all met at ante-natal classes when expecting our first-borns back in 1999 and have stayed friends ever since.

How lovely. We did wonder about the plaques, there are so many of them! We'r3 going to Weymouth next year and hope to go back to Swanage for a day. We'll keep a look out for your plaque.

If you do go let me know and I'll give you the grid reference, so you can go straight to it. The 'Sponsor a Plank Scheme' is run by the Swanage Pier Trust and is still operating.
 
Good moaning./morning! Woke with the top of my non-existent foot feeling like a bunsen burner (are they allowed in schools now?) was being played across the top of my foot and we all know how painful burns are. Had to take strong painkillers and waiting for them to kick in. The mind has a long way to develop and I fear Google, AI and the associated nonsense has really slowed development compared to the era from the development of steam power to man landing on the moon. In fact the average Joe and Jane Doe seem pretty thick these days! On fact one HCA suggested if I lose weight I probably would not need to take insulin! o_O While I remember a Heinz (5.7).

Took the last of my antibiotics just before bed. Just hope it has cleared the infection as I am sick and tired of the stomach cramps, constipation, the inverse of the preceding side effect and loss of appetite.

No stars so cloudy.
 
Good morning. A nice round 5.

Up early as just can’t sleep, hot, achy, mind whirring, blah blah blah, the usual reasons. My new bed hasn’t helped, I didn’t think it would, 40+years of insomnia doesn’t just disappear with a new bed! Talking of which, I’ve had to order new fitted sheets, our present ones are just pinging off! Dunelm do extra deep ones, I’ve order two 40cms ones, to be picked up tomorrow. I’ll also check out the pillows, I have more pillows than you can shake a stick at, but none are quite right. Last night I had the choice of four, I change them a few times through the night, thick, thin, sometimes just one, sometimes two and occasionally I try three! I’ll get it just right one of these days!

No plans today, Mr Eggy is repairing/ painting the outside of our downstairs front windows and is almost finished, so I think that will be his job today. I might do nowt!

Have a super, sparkly, Strictly Saturday.
 
Morning a 6.2 and a flatfish after going to bed at 6.1 and expecting a rise after normal Pizza and deciding no slice of toast as I normally like to go to bed at least 7.
Nice sleep and a good w/ end planned.
Mikey I am old enough to remember the Bunsen burners and the magnesium strip bursting into flame and dropping something like lithium ( would need to check that🙂 into the water and it zipping about lol.
