Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks - a simple 5.0 today.

Spending time helping a friend with her masters essay on "Cultural Aspects of Indigenous Dispute Resolution", a subject about which I know approx 1750% more than I did this morning. Also not worrying *at all* about 6 month retina exam tomorrow ...
 
@Eddy Edson . I hope your retina test goes well tomorrow.
 
Good morning folks . Hope you hav3 a good day.
Looks like I have found a novel new way to lower my high BGs :D
Went to bed on that horrid number 😳
Woke rather high but expected much worse
The top one is after putting the washing up away and sorting out our pills for the week. Sunday mornings for about 20 mins my kitchen resembles a pharmacy lol

Oh and I am loving this sensor, so far it’s never been no more than 0:5 different to my meter, I bet now I’ve said that it will start misbehaving
 
Morning all and a 6.4 for me and an overnight flatfish. Went to bed slightly high at 9.2 following a bolus reduction. Timings need looking at . Shame this sensor is ending in a few minutes.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, 4.7 here. Better than the 20.0 I found myself with at 4pm yesterday. 😱 Bit of detective work soon discovered that at lunchtime for some reason I completely forgot I was diabetic and didn’t do my bolus.
 
5.5 for me today. Enjoy your Sunday everyone 🙂

@Eddy Edson - hope all goes well tomorrow 🙂

Whoops! I expect it happens to everybody now and again! :confused:
 
Morning all, a 9.8 for me today. Had a great couple of days in London.

Nearly fell off my chair wen I saw that 20! 😱 Glad there was such a simple explanation for it 🙂 I think it's actually good in a way that we can occasionally completely forget we are diabetic - I've done exactly the same in the past 🙂

Well, at least it gave me an opportunity to check I'd got my correction formula correct! If I’d had a Libre on, though, I might have noticed sooner, rather than wondering why I felt so tired all afternoon.
 
Good morning folks.🙂

Bit late reporting. I was up early enough, but there’s a Test Match on, so this is an innings break.🙄

I was astonished this morning when I woke up on 5.2. Hooray! There was a rather suspicious downward arrow, though but only into stable 4 and a bits. An Americano and a biccie sorted that.

While watching the cricket, and double tasking, I read an article in the latest New Scientist about a clear demonstration by scientist Monica Gagliano that plants are sentient - they can hear, and can learn, adapt and remember. All done in repeatable experiments. The whole plant works as a brain, using similar signalling chemicals that we do.

That should give vegetarians some pause. Just because plants don’t audibly complain when they are killed and eaten doesn’t mean they don’t mind.

And with that little bombshell, I wish you all a good day, as I get out a lump of meat from the freezer from a bovine that equally objected to being killed.😉

What? Eat their babies? Never!

Look, the plants are going to get us in the end, one way or another, so we've got to get our licks in while we've still got the chance!

Congratulations on the HS @mikeyB! 🙂 It's still OK to eat fruit and other stuff that basically drops off the plant isn't it? 😱

Of course you can eat fruit - they are designed to be eaten, so that you can poo out the seeds in a fertile environment. You can see this near the disgusting sewage outfalls into the Thames- loads of tomato plants.

Sorry I’m late, logged in this morning and thought I had done it but I must have got distracted by Mr Eggy cleaning the oven! Wish I had taken a photo! Anyways, a 7.3 this morning after going to bed on a 9, totally underguesstimated for my spicy rice and salmon dish I made last night. Oops! I feel very smug today as I have wrapped the Christmas presents I have bought so far, it’s the bane of my life wrapping presents but I have a secret weapon....the ironing board. I have tried numerous ways of doing it over the years, floor, table, even tried the bed once but the ironing board is the winner. Top tip, don’t use glittery paper, unless you want all your clothes to sparkle! 😱
