Group 7-day waking average?

so it looks like my early HS was the start of something special today and we ended up with a plethora of us on the HS step today happy to share the step today with @ColinUK @Gwynn & @Martin.A

for me having started the day quite positively with that early morning HS, I’ve had something that has concerned me slightly looked at (I’ve actually just come home from the hospital about an hour ago) ok so it’s nothing to serious in the greater scheme of things, I suppose …

but sometimes I feel the diabetes fairy dishes out to much to us (or maybe if I’m honest with myself I should’ve taken better care in the past)

over the last few days the vision in my right eye has been noticeably worse than it was previously
I’ve been seen at the hospital today (in eye casually) and will be seen by an eye surgeon in his clinic here in Northampton but he’s a surgeon at Oxford, I’ve just had a phone call, can see me on Thursday they tell me emergency cataract surgery will be needed, to put things right
and this will be done down at Oxford, according to the Dr who saw me today the implant that I had popped in my eye has somehow made its way into a part of my eye where basically it shouldn’t be, hence the sudden reduced vision in that eye that I’ve recently been experiencing, so the infection to my sinuses that came suddenly following the bout of Flu I had the other day isn’t to blame, it’s coincidental and not related. WOW what a day it’s been here in the @goodybags world

If you read this to the end …
please don’t send a :care: Emoji even though you probably do

just do another Diabetic a favour and tell them what ever they do DONT MISS their Diabetic Eye Screening (like I did all them years ago when I was a poorly controlled T2 that didn’t understand or care)
Thanks <3:thankyou:

I just love this Forum because its helped so many of us, and goes on to support many people affected by Diabetes
 
@Martin.A squirrels do not hibernate here in the uk. We seem to have acquired 4 of them. All very hungry today!

Didn't know that. Thought maybe they were confused because our seasons don't seem to be as clearly defined as they were in days gone by. We've had no snow worthy of the name in years down here, for example.

Hello, folks!

I've been away walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, running fairly regular 5ks and appreciating the wonder drug that is Rybelsus.

But eating isn't what it should be.

Hopefully coming here will give me a sense of accountability.

Blood glucose was 12.1 this morning after being around 10 for ages.

Apparently just writing it down in a spreadsheet doesn't magically make it trend downwards!

Regards
Rick

I love the 3 Yorkshire Peaks. Although when I completed it, the temperature was 27 degrees! I don't know anything about Rybelsus though :confused:
 
At my dental appointment today the dentist had a new bit of kit. It was a camera which scanned all round your teeth and created a 3D picture of all your teeth showing every imperfection and alignment of all the teeth. It can be used instead of having to take impressions for crowns or dentures.
It was very odd seeing your gnashers staring at you from a screen.
 
Good morning everyone

Would believe it another 5.2 and that even after chocolate cake yesterday evening.

I will pop in a suitable HS (Heavy Snow) house too

I went for a walk yesterday afternoon and the pain in my hip was overwhelming, I could barely get round our set walk. I think it is bursitis/ tendonitis and not the hip joint itself. I have decided to rest up for a few days to give it a chance to recover. Sigh.

Today, sort out some songs if I feel able to get up the stairs to my keyboard, rest, rest, rest.

WE have a Sainsburys delivery today (I hope) and a separate squirrel food (nuts) delivery too from Arc Wildlife.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Morning a 7.8 after a bit of DP and very cold and crispy so lovely.
Once up and about I am fine and in Cheshire countryside with lunch with one of my colleagues who has come from near Chatsworth so they will have had worse snow than us.
Have a good week
 
Morning

Joining @Gwynn on the HS step, pleased to get a 5.2. I have a blood test today and picking up my new glasses, well I say new, same frames as before just new lenses.

Frosty this morning and yesterday’s heavy snow shower lasted about 1/2 before raining for the rest of the day.
 
8.6 this morning.

Feeling decidedly unwell. Freezing cold. Achy etc. Apple Watch vitals overnight are way out of norm. +3 degrees on baseline temperature, heart rate above a typical daytime resting number let alone an overnight one and way faster breathing as well.

Clearly no gym for me today. Have theatre ticket for this evening and that’s probably going to be a casualty of whatever this lurgy is.

Better than from a glass!
 
Good morning 5.7 on the Libre -2.5 on my outside weather thingmebob. Hard frost on the car.

I was glad when the funeral was over, churches are so cold aren’t they?My friend seemed composed but very frail looking, haven’t seen her since May as she hasn’t been able to join us for our get togethers because her husband was ill. We had a hug and a chat and a promise of a visit when the dust settles.
Mr Eggy survived five hours with a nine month old, just, he was glad when I was back as he hadn’t even had a cup of tea. He doesn’t do multi tasking! :rofl:

Meeting a friend for tea and a scone at 11am. Another recently widowed friend. I can’t say I’m looking forward to going out in this weather, but she’s quite lonely so don’t want to let her down. Like my friend who’s husband’s funeral I was at yesterday, she has one daughter and no grandchildren. I know I complain about always babysitting/ feeding the hordes but you know I don’t mean it really, I don’t think I’d ever have time to be lonely. I might offer them up for hire! 😉

Congratulations @Gwynn and @Grannylorraine on your HSs.

Have a good day even if you have the white stuff. It’s too cold to snow up here. Brrrr!

Sorry to hear about all this stick to your right. My late father in laws estate has taken nearly 4 years since he passed, if my husband had given up he would not have received a penny whilst his estranged sister would have taken everything including grandchildren and great grandchildren’s share. It is frustrating, stressful, but make sure you do what is right for you.

My OH waited ten years and it cost us a significant percentage of his inheritance on solicitors’ fees to get his sister to pull her finger out and finish the paperwork. She’d already - sneakily - moved into their deceased parents’ house, so there was no real incentive for her to give him his share. I have no nice words for her and, ironically, she calls herself a “Christian”! Those aren’t the Christian values I learned at school. Grrrrr!

Morning all. 6.8 here. Dreadful traffic jam last night going into work - expecting the same this morning. Must dash!
 
5.1! So close…

Wow, 10 years, he must have given up hope, we are hoping his will be fully sorted by the end of next year, although we have been saying that since 2022, his sister also lives in the late father in laws house, despite having her own lovely house, solicitor offered her the chance to buy out hubby’s share. Hubby is currently waiting for some more court paperwork from the last hearing in September so we are hopeful of getting the property up for sale early next year.
 
A 5.7 for me this morning. A light dusting of snow on the cars overnight and -2°C. 😱
And well done to today's specialists. :star:

Good morning!

9.7 today.

This was after a 5k run which I'm not entirely sure was a good idea as I'm currently obese.

It was jolly to chat with the other runners, however.

The blood glucose reading wasn't jolly, this morning.

The big problem is that I'm not used to going to bed without sabotaging myself through my eating.

I can't really imagine myself not sabotaging myself, either.

This is the trouble with having heavily engrained behaviours and leading quite a solitary existence on my own in my house.
