Group 7-day waking average?

Morning, diabetonauts. Lovely day here, but brass monkeys would be wearing trusses.:confused:

I dragged myself out of bed using 4.8 for launch fuel. Lovely flat line overnight, drifting gently down from 8.2.🙂

Hang on a sec, I must have passed through 5.2 around 6.30. Does that count?🙄
 
Good morning all, is there room on the 4.7 step @Kaylz?
I hope you all had a fantastic day eating chocolates and delicious food, wishing you all a good day today. My daughter's carrot cake was very yummy and not even a slice left to send to the deprived @Vince_UK 😉
See told you so NJ...good result after the carrot cake...is there any left...another slice today?
 
Plenty room NJ just wrap up warm as its a cold one here today! Glad you enjoyed the cake! xx

I just had a taste, to make sure it was edible and it was! :D
All gone now.
 
Morning all, a 9.6 for me today. Had a great day out yesterday. Went to the Charles Burrell museum, then on to Linton Zoo, then found an old coaching inn for lunch, then just had a drive round and stumbled on a pub that had some steam engines outside. Had a great day out. Catching up on washing and house stuff today before going back to work tomorrow.

Your absolute duty to taste first...make sure it was up to par NJ.
 
Morning all, 7.1 here, despite Christmas pudding and rum sauce yesterday evening! (family tradition, we always eat the spare from Christmas when the family is back for Easter) This time I split the Bolus and actually remembered to take the second half, which helps!

You could have had my spare one left over from Christmas plus the one in my desk at work.
 
But hey ho you're back in the 5's again ~ excellent
Only if I don't eat carbs. After the two roast dinners no doubt I was in double figures! 😱 I also think it depends on what machine you are using. I borrowed my sisters snazzy new machine off the doc...One Touch I think it's called or One Stop...

Happy Easter Monday all. 🙂

It's just as well you don't have a sweet tooth Ditto ~ should you have eaten a carby dessert on top of your 2 dinners you're bgls would be half-way to orbiting the moon by now😱:D:D:D Good to hear you have access to your sisters snazzy meter as its necessary to keep a check on you levels from time to time.
....and thanks Ditto, I hope you're enjoying this Bank Holiday Monday too doing whatever pleases you. Take care now x

Good afternoon folks. Very late reporting today. I went to bed on a 7.6 at some silly o'clock time this morning 🙄 and WOKE this afternoon to the reverse number of 6.7. Not bad at all considering.
I think I've discovered a means to solving my insomnia.......Central heating🙂
I accidentally left it on last night and baked myself to sleep all night until 14.28hrs 😱:D A very expensive way to grab a few decent hours of kip don't you think tho I'll have to drum up a less expensive solution for the Summer months ~ that is if we have a summer! Hope y'all enjoying this Bank Holiday Monday. Jolly windy and wet here today:(

A less expensive solution? An electric blanket. Methinks that when you get the current heating bill, you'll be having a few sleepless nights afterwards🙂

Thanks Davein but I don't think I could lie in my bed with an electric blanket on all night in the summer, arrrgh! Besides I'm hot enough as it is🙄:D (pun not intended!)
I think it was the warm air in my bedroom that contributed to me sleeping so soundly plus the fact that I was fatigued anyway through lack of sleep from the previous 2-3 nights. Thanks for your suggestion tho Dave, I appreciate.
 
All in the Candy Store 7.4....ironic.
 
Good afternoon all! Just got back from a lovely weekend in rainy Bridlington.🙂 I refused to test all weekend as it would be totally pointless with what I was stuffing in my face.😱 Anyway, just tested now & it's a 6.2. Could've been a lot worse. I'm sure tomorrow's waking BG will show all my sins.:(
 
Lunch reading 7.4 which is okay no idea how it’s rose that much since this morning only had crumpets for breakfast and pack crisp but content with 7.4

So to wrap up this my levels were 6.4 before evening meal and 5.4 around half an hour ago then had my snack they’ve been like this a good week or more and long may it continue
 
Hope everyone enjoyed the break yesterday

Accu-Chek say 5.4
At 5.26 am
Taken when up.

Take care all today.
Temperature at 6.37 am 19C. Going to be a hot day.

I can't understand why people are frightened by new ideas. I'm frightened of old ones

Spoke to soon rarely check at this time but watched a late night film and it’s gone up to 10.2 no idea why had my 2 crumpets before bed hope it’s not causing me damage through the night odd to go up that much I take 27 unites Abasaglar to unless it takes few hours to kick in
