Group 7-day waking average?

Kaylz said:
May I ask why you didn't include the soup or chips? The noodles in the soup would need to be counted and although I've never really had chips I imagine the carbs in 6 or 7 would still be enough to inject for? x

Hi @Kaylz ,
Thank you and 2 good points there ~ I always just classed the soup as a clear soup which I thought wouldn't have too many or no in carbs in because of having no thickening agents but from now on I will lift the noodles out & weigh them before I start eating & re the chips I will try & make a better job to find out how many carbs would be in just 6 or 7

I'm not meaning to sound nasty or anything but why would you think that a soup containing noodles would be carbless? And also if your no good at judging by eye just weigh the chips, I see you often wake high especially after a takeaway, why don't you use the results to be able to change things so you can make the takeaway work? Do you tell your team when you check in that you are not counting certain things in your bolus? As if they don't know the full story the suggestions they make about things to change are absolutely pointless x

We've had three very heavy showers of hailstones today ~ almost the size of golf balls😱
 
Gooooooooood Morning/Night all you terrific peeps.
Accu-Check say 4.5
at 5.25 am
So not stuck on 5.2 WL lol
Coffee machine glug, glug, glugging away here and a Bacon, Egg and Beans Brekkie to be cooked and eaten.
Then wait for my meat delivery at 6am and Xiao Song the housekeeper to come so I can sit and watch her iron and clean without any pangs of guilt whatsoever.
Have a great day tomorrow everyone. Don't spend to much on pressies, well at least not until the pre-Christmas sales start lol

No matter how much it hurts now, someday you will look back and realise your struggles changed your life for the better.

I used to have terrible problems with my teeth and gums years ago WL, maybe 20 odd years back. I got totally fed up with it to be honest. I had my top ones removed and implants put in at great expense and the bottom ones I have a bridge put in at the front. Entirely my choice I will add. First closs job and "you cannot see the join". lol
I need to get my implants checked when I get back but I ceased having any issues as soon as it was done.
My Dentist and I could never really understand why I had so many issues. Maybe my riotous lifestyle at the time.
You have your own teeth WL it is definitley essential to look after them. Good luck.

Good morning 🙂 Sorry, been a little awol from the thread over the past week as suffering from (real, not man!) flu :( Libre has shown a dead flatfish for the past 3 days, probably due to dehydration, occasionally floating to the surface, but still between 3-5 mmol/l below a blood reading :(

Morning all. A straight 5.0 for me at the ungodly hour of 06:15 on a Saturday. I do wish that Sundance would learn that we can have a little lie in at the weekend🙄.
Glad you are feeling a bit better @Northerner .
 
Hope your fully recovered soon @Northerner , flu is horrible.
 
Good Saturday morning folks ~ well its not good here ~ strong winds ~ hailstones ~ thunder! I won't be in a hurry to go out today!

Hope you all stay warm and well over the weekend and take care x

Great start to the day...13.2 and I've been sick, despite my high doses of anti-sickness medication.
