Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 Up at a more reasonable hour today 🙂 6.5 for me after a 9.0 last night due to a self-pitying Winter-blues-induced Lindt Lindor Cappucino gorge-fest 😱

Hey Northie don't be too hard on yourself ~ you deserve to treat yourself after your eye op and as long as you enjoyed the Lindt Lindor then that's all that matters🙂

Another SEVEN!!! for me, I suppose it could be worse, it could have been a 10 from Len! Our eldest grandchild is 12 today, I really don’t know how that happened as I am only 29! So a fun, filled, food fest tonight at a local Italian restaurant. Just 12 of us, and guess who is footing the bill? Have a fab Friday everyone. 🙂
 
Morning all, a 9.5 for me today. Not much planned for today. Hope you all have a good one.
 
Good morning team🙂

I woke on 7.8, which is a tad high, but at least I know why, but it’s far too boring to relate.🙄 Or admit:(

Anyway, with the weather blowing a hoolie last evening, the Sky signal disappeared for the night. Still, that’s not a great problem in this era of smart tellies, so watched a bit of Netflix and Amazon, and Question Time on BBC iPlayer live. Question Time is interesting - there was a Lib Dem MP on, I suppose for balance. But the Lib Dems are not the third biggest Westminster party. The SNP are. The SNP are the second biggest party in the UK in terms of membership. But the BBC never invite anyone from the SNP on to Question Time unless it comes from Scotland. Strange. A whole political party ignored. Just like the government do. That’ll come back to bite ‘em.:D

Have a good day everyone, enjoy the lull in the weather. 🙂

Unless you live in Scotland, in which case batten down the hatches again:(

Well the SNP are demanding to be involved in the May v Corbyn Brexit televised dance-off Mike.

Then we’ll need to invite the Lib Dems, the Greens, UKIP etc. etc...yawn!
 
I have a dozy question😳

If I test in the morning, do I test lying down, sitting up, can I get up first, what do I do about washing my hands first?

I have SO many questions. I’ll try to not send you all crazy. :D

White rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits.

Good morning folks. I hope you have a lovely day.

It’s 5.8 for me today

You’re right, WL! It’s now tomorrow and I have achieved the elusive 5.2. Do you have a BG crystal ball?😱😛

Morning all.🙂 Up early for a trip to Bristol to see family and deliver Xmas presents...I would’ve taken the train, but it has magically been turned into a bus that takes nearly twice as long to get there - at the same extortionate price, of course. Clogged roads, here I come.:confused:🙄
 
Good morning all 🙂. 6.2 yesterday and 5.9 today. Hope you all have a super weekend. Busy in this household moving daughter into her new home (happy and sad day!) x

Ideally, you should test as soon as you can on waking (OK to sit up first! 🙂) The reason for this is that as soon as you are up and about your liver starts releasing extra glucose into your bloodstream to give you a 'boost' for the day to come (also known as 'Dawn Phenomenon', and not particularly welcome when you have a recalcitrant pancreas! 😱). Thus, if you test after doing your ablutions and making your cuppa, then the levels will most likely have risen and won't be entirely reflective of how they have been overnight in comparison to your bedtime reading. I have actually seen this happen using a Libre sensor, which show my levels start rising by 1-2 mmol/l as soon as I raise my head from the pillow! 😱 🙂

Don't be afraid to ask questions, we love 'em! 🙂

Congratulations on HS bloden. Enjoy your day
 
Good morning all.

13.7 for me, but nothing to eat since 1730 last night.weight down a 1lb today so not so good.
Good news(???) is there seems to be a decision that insulin is the route to be going, so just waiting to get more information.
 
Morning all. A 9.8 for me today. Wet and miserable day out there so I think it's gonna be a movie day today. But the question is do I watch Star Trek, Indiana Jones or Christmas movies?
 
Happy Advent everyone! Can’t believe it’s December already, you may now mention Christmas and if you must, put up your tree. Mine will go up on about the 12th, quite early enough for a real one. Anyways, back to the matter in hand, a 6.9 this wet and wild morning. Happy with that after last night’s food frenzy, aranchini followed by gnocchi and garlic bread. Could I have had a more carby meal? Answers on a post card please! Hope your Saturday is not too soggy and remember.......Keeeeeep dancing! :D
