Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all on this wet and windy Friday, and the weather’s rubbish too! A miraculous 6.5 today after going to bed on a 10.3! Missing in action yesterday, had a full days babysitting at baby’s house, not ours, so an hours round trip to add on to the day. Was shattered and popped into the garage on way home and a pie accidentally jumped into my hand and threw itself in the oven when I got home and presented itself on a plate with a pile of mushy peas. Well, it would have been rude not to. 🙄 Going to be a good girl today. Promise! 😉 Have a good ‘un and try not to get blown away.
 
Awful when things do that to you. I had a slice of toast jump into the toaster but luckily it couldn’t find any jam
 
6.2 for me again and day 4 of the blasted shakes. Only another 52 days to go. Am seriously considering having one cheat meal on a Sunday, not a blow out, just maybe adding a chicken breast to my 250g of non starchy vegetables, otherwise I might well go insane.
 
Good morning all🙂

I’m a happy bunny, I’m back on the Libre, which tells me I had an almost straight line following a bedtime 6.1 all night, with a little blip up at the end to 8.0 to get me out of bed.🙂 Morning Levemir should get that down to normal.

Anyway, it’s wet and windy here In Lancashireland. Should be dry and windy for the footie tomorrow. Playing Bristol City, so I doubt the Darwen end will be packed with away supporters with strange accents.

Isembard Kingdom Brunel ran his wide gauge railway to Bristol to capture the transatlantic trade. That’s two things he got wrong. Never mind, nobody’s perfect.:D

Have a good day, everyone🙂
 
11:40 BS 9.8.:( Very late today!😳 Spent a very restless night because my left shoulder was aching due to the stormy, windy & wet weather. Started last night & still horrible out there now! I had to put back on a copper bracelet which helps woth rheumatic pain from old injuries when I pulled the tendons in both wrists, not at the same time, years ago & the weather is damp for a prolonged time. My wrists were fine but, the left shoulder injury is more recent & not properly healed yet, I suppose! So, higher BS was not really a surprise: ached all night & late getting up!😱🙄

I pulled the tendon in my right wrist, the first time about 10 years ago when I impatiently tried to pull open the freezer door for ice cubes, for a customer’s drink, after a work colleague had just closed it: the suction! I felt the WRENCH at the time & spent the rest of the night gingerly trying to ease the pain. Little did I know it would take over a year of physio for the tendon to heal & was told that tendons take longer to heal than bone. I got used to doing things one handed with the left wrist for most things but, others like writing had to be done with the right: hurt a lot to write customers’ orders!:(

After the right wrist had healed I just continued doing things onehanded with the left & that was how I pulled the tendon in the left wrist a few years later. Taking a fully loaded oven tray with my Christmas roast on it on Christmas Day & it was far too heavy for my left wrist. Quickly used the other hand for support but, the damage was done! Another year of physio for it to heal! Now neither of my wrists are that strong & prolonged wet weather gives me rheumatic pain which a copper bracelet helps with! NOW I do things more ambidextrously & use both hands if needed!🙄

Crikey! VERY loquacious today!😳

I’m having a duvet day because of the awful weather!🙂 May there be bright sunshine on the inside to make up for the wet weather on the outside!😉
 
9.4 for me this morning but I had a very disturbed night of sleep and then dozed until about 10am when I tested. I know I shoot up in the mornings so putting it down to that
 
Afternoon all, a lovely 5.1 for me this morning - it's been ages since I had a nice number like that! 🙂
 
Hi Guys a silly 9.9 this morning a few units of NovoRapid back down to 5.9.🙂 Sorry I`m late on parade got called away while reading through thread this morning,:( Oh @Carolg you sound just like my mummy so I did take my phone.🙂

Thanks for your advice @Lanny much appreciated, sorry you are also having problems just be careful with the amount of weight you pick up.😉

I can`t say have a good day so have a pleasant night, take care all.🙂
 
Morning all.🙂 5.1 here.😛

Wow, it was windy last night. 😱 Sun’s out this morning - best make the most of it before the weather turns ‘slabog’ again!😛
 
Morning all, 8.4 here! Woke in the middle of the night with cramp in my left foot. My Libre trace started reaching for the sky the minute I shot out of bed and hobbled round the bedroom to stretch it out.
 
Oops 17.7 this morning. So do I blame the steroids or the chemo or fess up to the scrummy jam roly poly I had last night when I went out with my cousin ... she’s clearly a bad influence 😛

Have a great Saturday everyone xx

Ouch! Didn’t realise it had such an affect on BG doing nocturnal yoga? Take care xx
 
Morning all. After thinking that my meter had lost it’s number 5 I woke to a 5.9! Yeah, first time for yonks I’ve been under 6. I know it’s just under but I’ll take it! Our only Storm Erik casualty is a bird feeder which has blown off the apple tree. All the others are still swinging about and the poor birdies are hanging on for dear life. Kitchen floor fitting commences today so I’m not allowed in, dash....that means I can’t cook or prepare any meals. 🙄 Takeaway tonight? Will my meter keep hold of it’s number five or will it disappear again? Watch this space. Have a super, soggy Saturday, I know I will. 🙂
 
Morning campers, gosh it is so windy here today. Yet another 6.5 for me, why couldn’t it have been yesterday for the hat trick? Having spent the last 2 days happily in 5.5-6.7 range, for some weird reason my misery shake has sent me to a post ‘breakfast’ 9.1, which has mucked up my graph nicely.
 
Morning all, batten down the hatches, the huge conifer a few gardens up has been tossing & swaying like a mad tossing, swaying thing!

Anyway, a nice 5.5 today 🙂
 
10:31 BS 8.9. A bit earlier, a bit lower & a bit more sleep🙄 shoulder ached a bit less as my wrist is going green from the copper!

@KARNAK, yes weight has been a problem since the shoulder injury & the first thing I did was change my handbag. The left shoulder is where I normally hang my enormous, heavy handbag & that HAD to go! I changed to a MUCH smaller bag with just the bare esentials of sunglasses, purse, umbrella & phone. Also, I now hang that much smaller bag cross body off my right shoulder. It took a bit of getting used to at first but, I’m used to the minimalist approach now!😱😉

What a windy night but, it seems much calmer now & bright sunshine is streaming through my bedroom window. I’m just waiting for the birdies to start singing & I know it’s Spring!:D And from there the Cherry Blossoms blooming for the favourite time of the year, for me!😛😎

Have a wonderful day folks!😛 It’s the weekend!:D Have some fun, I’ll try to!🙄:D😛
 
Good morning all🙂

Same as yesterday. In normal range all night, 8.3 to fuel getting out of bed. If that’s the norm now, I’ll boost the evening Levemir a tad. Or not bother, it’s bound to change anyway. That’s D.🙄

So, off to the Rovers this afternoon. Bit breezy, but I lived on the Isle of Mull, this is winter and early spring routine weather. It’s about time everyone else got to share. It was fun going down into the village yesterday afternoon. As I was driving the scooter, I heard a flute-like noise behind me. What that was was the wind blowing across the adjustment holes in my crutches. Found music - weird🙂

Have a good day everyone, watch out for wobbly trees and empty flying bins.:confused::D
