Group 7-day waking average?

12.1 :(

Barely slept, frozen should is murder, even co-codamol isn’t touching it, I’m thinking fondly of my old Actiq lollies and wishing I’d kept up the prescription. I was going to plant seeds today, but I think I’ll just put my feet up and doze in front of Midsomer Murders.

I went through that frozen shoulder injury twice, still going through the present one. I hope you’re getting physio & if that dosen’t work get your GP to put you on the list for a cortizone injection to get movement back. It may not be full movement back but, at least you won’t be in pain anymore. I only got 90% movement back in my right shoulder after 2 years of physio & 2 injections but, there’s no pain in that shoulder. This 2nd. injury to the other left shoulder didn’t need an injection as, despite the pain, there was more movement. But, it’s been troubling me this winter & I may yet need an injection; see how it goes?

Go easy on the Co-Codamol too as there are dangers using that long term. So much so, the NHS in NI are not prescribing except in extreme circumstances & in limited supply. Chemists across NI also monitor your supply, if you ARE put on them, so you can’t get anymore!

My sympathies are with you!
 
Morning all and 5.1 for me

Eye scan this morning. Bit of a murky day out there. I wouldn't complain if it stays that way untill mid morning.

Happy March everyone and it's new sensor day for me.

Have a good day everyone.
 
9.1 for me, but know what I did. Woke at 7 this morning and just getting up
 
8.8 but that was when I got to work not when I woke up. It always takes a load of insulin with my breakfast to get my normal numbers going for the day. Happy friday everyone, i have a meeting at 2.30 (fingers crossed theres no rain as it includes an inspection of the property) and hopefully a slightly early finish 🙄
 
In the sevens again. 7.4, that damn lurgy! Had a bad night, coughing a lot, I’m exhausted with it all. The good news is I’ve lost 4 lbs! That’s probably made up mostly of snot and phlegm! 😱 TMI? Have a good day all, I’m off to get prepared for Homes under the Hammer ( again). 🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

No pagan incantations from me this morning. Just sacrificing a goat before midday to celebrate the start of Spring.😎

Woke up on 3.8 again. This is getting to be a habit. Custard Creams with the Americano this morning. I’ve worked out why, so no worries🙄

It’s St David’s Day today, so I expect a lot of Welsh folk will be celebrating in the rain. Haven’t seen the weather forecast, but it always rains in Wales. It’s the price you pay for having your lumpy country on the West side of Britain, like the West of Scotland. That’s no excuse for having a language that doesn’t use vowels, of course. :D

Anyway, Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus to all our Welsh pals, and for those with no excuse to celebrate, have a great day. It’s Friday, live it large🙂
 
Good morning 3.6 at 07:00😳 5.8 at 09:30 after 3 JB`s and a rich tea biscuit.🙂 Don`t know what happened yesterday, didn`t go above 5.3 even after pub lunch and evening meal, no bolus taken.o_O Checked again at 00:30 didn`t feel right 1.7😱 rechecked 1.8, took action though walking and seeing wasn't easy but managed to sort it, half hour later 5.7.🙄 Fun isn`t it.:D

Good luck @khskel, hurts me to say it, I hope the sun don`t shine for you.🙂

Sorry you are in so much pain @Madeline,:( {{{HUGS}}} from me too. Mind you Midsummer Murders is a great series to fall asleep to.🙂

Have a good day folks happy March.🙂

Thanks @Lanny, I’ll be careful with the co-codamol. I’ve not been to GP, mobility is ok, just hurts, so am doing my exercises. Hateful shoulders.

My insulin requirements have plummeted recently Ted - don,t be afraid to reduce if you need to! 🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

That’s no excuse for having a language that doesn’t use vowels, of course. :D

Dangerous territory, there! 🙂 Actually 7 vowels, the 5 used in English, plus w and y are vowels.
 
My sister's mother-in-law was Welsh but she never used to talk about it. 🙂 Happy St David's Day all. It should be my wedding anniversary. I'm glad it isn't. I've been in the 8s every morning this week. I don't suppose I shall ever see 5s again. I've been 'good' today though, relatively low carb.

Already done Alan, reduced by 5 units this morning but 9.9 at lunch time and 2.7 at dinner time. Back up to 6.1 now, Keeping my eye on figures.🙄

I’ve been hitting the giddy heights of high 12s today even though I’ve stuck rigidly to the shakes. DSN rang to see how I’m getting on and has put me back on Metformin. Bit gutted, but I feel so rank today that I was honestly quite glad to. Fingers crossed things improve for you @Ditto

{{{HUGS}}} for both of you.🙂
 
Forgot to post this earlier. 18:47 BS 6.3.🙂 Awake & ate.

Then, finished the other half of the restoring mac job. Didn't take as long as I thought, less than 4 hours to get my 1TB, of which I'd used 960GB, mac back to exactly the way it was. Time Machine was VERY slow backing up, 12 hours, but, things REALLY are exactly the same after restoring. It's the first time I've used it! Tried before in the past & thought "no way, too slow"!🙄 I've discovered that the first backup is slow because the entire OS is backed up too & the other backups are incremental & faster. Good thing as I'll HAVE to use Time Machine now for backing up on my new hard drive. My old hard drive was bigger than I needed so, I used the empty space for 120GB of video files. So, all that hassle to get them back! But, it's done now!🙂 Whew! Swiping hand across the forehead, in relief, emoji!

When I can face it, I'll have to start another 12 hour initial backup after the restoration.😱 No hurry, though! As all the files are still on the hard drive: it's just that the first backup after restoration deletes the others by default & backups the OS with the files & afterwards incremental backups again!🙄

NOW, I'm going to be awake tonight, ah well! Sleeping pattern is off again!🙄

I wish you all a goodnight & decent waking figures in the morning!😉
 
Good morning, cold here as well, really damp looking. 8.1 for me this morning. Been a hard couple of days emotionally, but moving forward
Have a nice Saturday everyone.
