Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 9.0 at 0700, tried some of Lidl`s low GI bread last night, bad move. Tested 1 hour later 15.7 😱 rest of bread is on its way to the tip. Thanks for your comments on yesterdays post will do as you advise although I knew what was correct, back down to 6.5 now 🙂.

Enjoy your day everyone.
 
Hello all - 6.1 for me. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday 🙂

I went to bed on a 7.6 after taking 2 Co-Codamol tablets and woke to a 10.3😱Arrrggggghhhhh!!!
I'm not winning at this game lately😱 With numbers like this I could possibly have taken myself out of remission and put myself back into pre or diabetic again:(
Have a good week friends ~ hope y'all have the numbers you're striving for🙂

Good morning folks . I hope you have a good day
An on the finger 7.4
 
Morning all. A 6.5 this morning which is very satisfying after going to bed on a 9.5! Might have had something to do with the Crunchie I had after my tea.😱 Have a happy Monday, it’s going to be sunny all day up here thank goodness, I am so over this wind and rain. 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 No, I haven't just got up, I've been up for a while - had to go for blood tests earlier. I haven't needed fasting tests for at least 5 years, and I'd forgotten what utter torture it is not to be able to have me 3 mugs of strong tea in the morning before I'm ready to function, more or less, as a human being 😱 I was 7.3 on waking, can't escape these 6s and 7s lately :( Possible due to the fact I am now on a stronger asthma medication, plus steroid drops for my eyeballs after last week's hole-punching 😱 Feeling quite run down generally, maybe it's due to the hideously gloomy weather and insifferably short days - at least the days will start getting longer again in a few weeks! 🙄
 
Aye, Northie, even though the doses of steroids are low, if they didn’t work you wouldn’t be given them. And if they work, they’ll affect BG. Folk are always a bit surprised by that, for some reason.

And the days are shorter in Harrogate than in Southampton (try living in the North of Scotland) so your body hasn’t yet adjusted. That has a distinct effect, even though you don’t notice it.

So don’t worry, it’ll come right. It always does🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

I had a bit of a lie in this morning. The joy of being retired is allowing yourself to sleep as long as you need to, that’s my excuse:confused:

Anyway, I woke on 7.9, but that’s curries for you. Very tricky bolussing, curries. Again, that’s my excuse.🙄

Just think, if we didn’t have immigration, we wouldn’t have made Chicken Tikka Masala the most popular dish in the UK.:D

Just a thought.

Have a good day everyone🙂
 
Good morning 5.6 on a very cloudy but warmish day, 17.0 C outside 🙂. Not much happening today so may take the Dyson for a wander 🙂.

Sorry you're a bit low @Northerner it`s that time of year I think :(.

Have a good day all.

I’m the same, this last week has been awful, it’s rained every single day been dark by 3.30pm and apart from a trip to Aldi I haven’t really been out. It’s a lot brighter today, thank goodness. Roll on the 22nd December!

My dyson has been for a wander. Got up the energy to do one room, hall and sun room. Unblocked dyson and awarded myself with a coffee
