Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks🙂

5.4 for me. Not sure how I got there, I’m still on hold with my sensor order.🙄

Now, what’s the difference between an optimist and a pragmatist?

Well, yesterday was a good day. Moving quite well, drove the chariot into the village, and got round Spar with a crutch and a trolley. When I got back to defrost I thought as I was moving quite well, I’d leave the elbow crutches in the holder on the scooter, went upstairs just to use a pair of sticks. Then spent the evening wobbling all over the place. It was hard work. To cap it all, went downstairs this morning to get the paper, and fell out of the wheelchair.:confused: No injury, except to dignity. Needless to say, I went into the scooter store and grabbed my crutches, so I’m moving in straight lines again.🙂

So there you are, a lesson learned.🙄

I remember at my first Glasgow meet up I was just using one stick. That was a couple of years ago. What does that show? Well, whatever I’ve got, it’s not rapidly fatal. Always take the positives:D

Have a good day everyone, and careful in the snow, as it seems to have come as complete surprise to local councils.🙂
 
Morning all, was at 7.6 when I got up at 4.30 am to go to work. Was a tad chilly.
 
Good morning 3.8 @07:00, 5.4 @09:30, just to add I haven`t had any insulin for 24 hrs.
Went to fracture clinic yesterday and ended up in Acute Diabetic Foot Clinic, had a look at X-Rays with Podiatrist we are all wondering how one can stand let alone one walk with said injury,:D next appointment is Feb.12 with Orthopedic Surgeon.o_O No snow or ice at the moment 10C outside so still in shorts.😛🙂

Enjoy dinner @eggyg smile as loud as you can.🙂🙂

Hopefully you can all stay warm & safe, take care.🙂
 
Good morning. It’s a bit chilly here. The snow has avoided my village 🙂 .
Apparently SE trains are running a winter service whatever that means.
Made a huge pot of pot luck stew yesterday, had a big bowlful last night , my guesstimate of four units was nearly spot on 🙂 and the stew was bloomin lovely, have boxed some up in the freezer.
Woke to 6.1 with a slow slide on the graph

Stay safe and warm
 
Good morning with an added pinch and a punch🙂 4.3 when I woke up - which was a few hours back, been trying to get internet to work with sticky tape and string!

Very snowy here, still snowing picturesque but super risky on crutches- not tempted to try tennis rackets - I only have one anyway! 😱

Have you had a cast put on to protect on your foot @KARNAK or are you in a moon boot? It is very alarming to see the destruction Charcot foot can deal out. I hope you're managing alright.🙂
 
05:58 BS 6.9. Ok.🙂 More super bright sunshine yesterday & quite a cold night! There was snow forecast during the night & it’s still dark outside so, don’t know yet if there was indeed more snow! Had another curry last night so, I’m well pleased with my waking BS this morning!😛:D

Wrap up warm folks: it’s still cold out there!😉 Not hungry so, usual routine to stop DP rise: half oatcake & half dose of bolus. Have a good day everyone & may there be sunshine on the inside to keep you warm!:D😎
 
Good morning . Woke to 6.3 which I am supprised at as I’ve only just noticed that I forgot to bolus for for my dinner and a wee snack later.

Stay safe and warm
 
Morning all, 4.8 for me but feeling fine after my tussle with out of date food. So stupid, I’m usually so on the ball with dates. Anyway, I’ve treated myself to a smidgen of marmalade on my Burgen toast.
 
11.5 here so I'm beginning ti think that the second gliclazide is not having much effect. Burgen toast.... sounds interesting.

Burgen bread, 11g carbs a slice, can actually eat it. Love seeded bread so it makes life so much better.
 
On my shopping list.

Glad you are ok after your outof date misadventure. It looks like your body reacted quickly enough to avoid food poisoning

Yes, very very lucky.
 
Good morning all. Snowy white here and cold. Woke to a 7.1 this morning, so that’s not bad

Good morning everyone 10.2 today. Waking levels have been this high for the last four days despite increasing my night time basal for the last four days. Eg yesterday it was 6.0 at 4am and by 7am it was 13.5 - gastroparesis does like having fun 🙂
 
9.7 this morning and bright sunshine here in middle England.
Keep warm and safe everyone who has the white stuff xx
