Group 7-day waking average?

Error. Agh I hate wasting strips. Could only get a pin prick. This is terrible. Will go to Boot's in Sale today, see if they sell lancets there. 🙂 Otherwise it's gonna be ebay. My other one lasted ages, I'm sure this one was blunt to start with. :(

Went to Boot's and a very helpful young man found me some inexpensive (approx. fiver) lancets but I still can't get any blood out. Not measured for days. Is the 'pricker' broken or has my blood seized up. Pin pricks are no good, I just get an error message.

@Ditto , What setting have you got your lancing devise set to, it might need a higher setting.
 
Good morning everyone. Woke up with that wobbly feeling to find 3.3 . I'm fine
 
Morning...6.9 today...higher than I would like...however...explanation...more digestives before bed last night...so I'm okay with that...remainder of digestives dispatched to the rubbish bin.
 
Morning all. It's a mega snotty 7.1 for me. Was going to do a morning basal test but don't think it would be valid with a nose full of gunge. Haematologist this morning to check on my errant bone marrow. Have a good day all.

Oh dear khskel...relate to the 'snot' issue...hope it clears soon...good luck with your appointment.
 
Its a 4.9 from me x
 
I'm with you on the snotty step, Khskel. Just can't seem to shift the remnants of this cold.:confused:

Morning good people.🙂 6.6 here. 😛
 
Good morning all my snotty friends! And non-snotty too 🙂 Its a 7.0 today.
 
6.7 vs 2.3 today. Yet another call to Abbot this morning methinks. That's 3 out of 4 that have not given anywhere nearer blood readings 😡
 
Morning all, 6.4 here. Perhaps I didn't need quite as big a bedtime snack.

I think you may well be right. They are behaving now 🙂
It's good to see your Waking BGs are getting back to normal.

Hope it goes well Khskel. You may find a cold affects your blood results a bit. The white cells and lymphocytes come out to play more when there's a virus around.

Hope so Stitch! I hate those drops! I will definitely have them at my hospital appointment tomorrow, they've always used them on me :(
