Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks a nice 1.7😱 @ 0700 rechecked it, still the same. The only tell tale sign was sweating and feeling very hot, 4 Gluco Tabs and a few digestive biscuits managed to get it up to 3.6 half an hour later. I`ve not posted for a few days spent a day in hospital :( right foot decided to change colour and double in size, colour nearly back to normal but still swollen. Internet was down yesterday 😡 major talks with provider who assured me it won`t happen again, we`ll see 🙄.

Hope everybody is as well as they can be under their own circumstances, take care and enjoy your weekend 🙂.
 
Morning all you Saturday stars. A nice round 6 for me this morning. Got an exciting day ahead, wedding dress shopping with daughter number 3. Maybe not as exciting for Mr Eggy’s wallet! Hope I don’t disgrace myself with all my coughing and spluttering. I will take plenty of tissues in case I get something in my eye. 🙄 Hope you all have a fab day and @mikeyB doesnt starve. We used to slide down the stairs on tea trays, worth a thought? 😉

My niece used to take her duvet off the bed & used it to toboggan down the stsirs. AND of course, whatever big sis did, little brother did too, to my great amusement when I used to babysit them as kids! I had great fun telling her wedding guests that that little innovation !:D😳😛😎

Oh my goodness Ted, I'm sorry to hear this! 😱 :( Glad to hear that the foot is returning to normal 🙂 1.7 is 0.2 lower than my lowest ever, and I was shaking like a leaf and pouring with sweat - I knew I was hypo but 'just wanted to finish what I was doing' 😱 Hypo brain! 🙄 Glad you managed to treat it, it would be worth, if possible doing a couple of 3 am tests to make sure you're not dropping too low through the night and perhaps reducing your insulin. If you're recovering from an illness or infection your levels can be a bit unpredictable.

Hope you are back up to full strength very soon 🙂

So sorry to hear this Ted, poor you but good to hear the worst is over. You take care now & look after yourself.

Hello all. I've been in the lower 7s all week so I'm over the moon. Plus one afternoon I was in the lower 5s, so ecstatic. Mind you. I'd had a mega chippy due to being with family, out visiting, so I'd probably gone hugely high and then plummeted! Still, it was nice to see a 5, long time since I've had one. 🙂

Can I just ask about the Chilli Baked Spud? That's one of my fave cafe meals and I thought I couldn't have it any more, because I read that baked spuds are the worst thing 'we' can eat? Is this wrong then?
 
04:29 BS 6.2.🙂 Didn’t sleep as much yesterday & even spent a few hours AWAKE! AND I came up with a solution to ease the inflammation!🙄 The left side of my face is a bit swollen at times & the slight ache dosen’t really count as PAIN & painkillers, paracetamol anyway, dosen’t work on that. Although, aspirin might but, don’t want to be guzzling down painkillers for a protracted amount of time!:( So, what is good for swelling?:ice!🙄 Used an ice pack, ones you freeze yourself usually for keeping picnics etc. cool, wrapped it in a muslin face cloth, not to get a cold burn, & slepped it on! Ahhhh!😛 Did the trick & worked a treat!:D BS yesterday was a bit up & down with some 9’s because of the growing discomfort, from inflammation, until I tried the ice in the evening & I’ll continue to apply it when I need to!🙂

Will try 14 units Novorapid for breakfast then, 12 & 10, depending on the meter, & haven’t decided, YET, on midday Levemir: ice solution, if needed, for discomfort? 🙄

Top of the morning to you all!😉 Oooh!:D I’ve gone Irish this morning!😛 Just off to brekkie!😉 Like a little Irish leprechaun, with a lilting swing, hop, skip & a jump!😱:D😛

Hi Ditto. Wow what a huge diference in your numbers. 5's and 7's are excellent numbers in comparison to what they were, well done you. Stick to what you're doing hun, you're obviously doing something right🙂

Sorry Mike, no offence meant🙂

Morning all, an 8.6 for me today.
 
Good morning mates🙂

It’s great this morning, wind and sideways rain. Reminds me of Mull. Well, not completely because the paper arrived this morning. On Mull, I guess, the ferries won’t be running so I wouldn’t be able to to get grumpy at the behaviour of grown ups in Londonstan.:D

Anyway, I woke up on 8.2, that’ll be the ice cream:(

I’ve decided I will go the grandson’s birthday party, followed by Lunch at The Eagle. That should give me enough energy to get up the stairs when I get back. That means tomorrow will be a write off, but who cares?🙂

I don’t fancy going downstairs on a tray, though thanks for the thought. The stairs are concrete. No offence taken, WL, if I can’t laugh at comments like that I’d be a right misery:D

It’s not the going down, it’s the coming up. (That’s a direct quote from the Kama Sutra)🙄

Have a good day, everyone. I will, if I don’t get blown over in the wheelchair, but if I do, be assured I will post a selfie🙂

I haven’t had many baked potatoes since prescribed insulin. But it wasn’t a huge one and can’t give accurate result, because I had a hypo almost after last mouthful.
 
Good morning. 10.7 for me this morning, but probably because I had a bag of crisps at 10 pm. (Didn’t even enjoy them)

Listen to your body, Carol. If you’re not enjoying crisps, that’s a signal.( Or maybe you were eating Walkers rather than Seabrooks). That’s what I find, anyway.🙂

They were walkers, left over Xmas stock. I like seabrooks but couldn’t keep them in house. Will give walkers ones away. I would rather have a wee box of Graze nuts and less carbs as well
