Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning, 5.5 and on my mission to increase my prescription for tests strips, my DSN is leaving but have a phone appointment on Friday, her last day. I have run out today and know they won't have any for me till Thursday. Luckily I have some I brought ages ago which will do me for today.
Have a wonderful day all.

Good luck - you should never be in the position where you are out of test strips due to prescription bureaucracy :(

What meter you got NJ? xx
 
Several as they have 'made' me change several times. I get test strips for Accu Chek Performa Nano, would love my old one back!
Don't suppose you have an Aviva Expert at all? xx

Thanks and that is very useful. I will be very assertive and make sure I get more, I remember @SB2015 who is also in Somerset gets 500 a time, that will do! If I ask too soon, they have held back my prescription, I have had enough of this treatment! I will go later to my health center and demand I have some today.
 
Thanks, I have decided will go to the health center on the way to work and stay there till they give me some, or can drop in after. Appreciate your help and support.
Okies, no bother, good luck my lovely!! xx
 
Blimey, I know moving house is stressful, but I apparently spent three hours before I woke up with a BG in the red- around 3 or a bit lower. Woke with a 2.5, which is great for the average. Anyway, a couple of fruit jellies and an Americano, combined with DP have got me to the heady heights of 8.2.

And it’s raining:(.

I’ve now got to have a row with the removal men. They’ve packed away my Kindle and my wheelchair charger. They even packed my jelly babies from by the bed😡.

There’s efficiency, and there’s common sense. Don’t fit together, sometimes:(

Sorry to hear about the overnight lows Mike, and the difficulties with the over-zealous removals men 😱 I suspect I have that to come in a couple of weeks.

I hope your levels stabilise, and that the rest of the move goes without a hitch 🙂 Good luck in your new home!

Good luck with the move, and good luck with finding everything when you get to your new house, when our removal men did the packing we found the same, they left nothing out of the boxes at all, we had to go out for dinner as there were no plates or cutlery left out. When we got in the new house they had put things in boxes labeled as bedroom that were very clearly from the kitchen etc, (I will add here that hubby and I were at work and son's girlfriend very kindly came round to house sit that day and cleaned from top to bottom for us).

Anyway 6.1 for me today.

Good number Lorraine 🙂

I've been doing all the packing myself, so I have some idea what's in each box and where it has come from in my current house - I've been using a number of different coloured/shaped stickers to indicate contents and made an index in a book of what the stickers represent 🙂 I've got about 150 boxes of stuff! 😱

That is a good idea. We had always packed ourselves when we had moved, but due to the limited time between exchange and completion hubby and I could not get anytime off of work before the moving day so had to go with the packing service.
 
Aye, I have to use the packing service because of my physical limitations. Still, at least I know where to look because they mark each box with its source. I’ll be wearing the same clothes for a couple of days, mind. Who cares, I did that as a student doing Interrail, often on the same train. Soon as they’ve gone, it’ll be a snack in the hotel bar for the last time for a while.

It sounds as if today will be a firefighting day with levels and stress of packing up and moving.
I hope things settle and the move goes without further hitches.
 
Good afternoon all.
My waking today was 7.1 been fighting to get it down!

Moving is very stressful, good luck, hope it all goes smoothly.
