Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all on yet another breezy day. The poor birdies must feel seasick, the feeders are swinging all over the place! Well, it’s a 6.6 for me today and I remembered my basal last night. Higher than yesterday when I forgot to take it! Ah well, who am I to question the D? TGIF I expect for the wage slaves. Have a good ‘un. 🙂
 
Morning everyone. 6.8 here.
 
Good morning all. Up early and 7.3 for me. Have a good day all.
 
Well, I didn’t get an app. I posted a separate thread in the General Messages board! But, I phoned my DSN ahead of my diabetic review next week on 21/03/19 to see if test results are done! They are & they’re not as bad as I expected. HbA1c has risen a bit from 60 to 63, Cholesterol is high in the 7’s, liver function is a bit off but, everything else is fine!🙂 I said to the DSN that’s miraculous that my blood sugars haven’t risen by much but, at the cost of high amounts of insulin! She said ah well, if that’s what you need!🙄
 
Good morning 7.7 with a very sore mouth.:( Lots of white horses on the sea not including @Robin`s,🙂 off out to lunch again can eat anything as long its with a straw.🙄

Poor @Lanny really going through the mill.:( Our physio department has a dedicated phone line you just refer yourself, they can make any arrangements for further treatment. Waiting time less than a week.

Stay safe folks Gareth still about.🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

I’m used to weather like this, there were always more ferry cancellations on Mull in March and April than any other time of year. It’s the position of the jetstream that’s giving everyone the chance to experience routine West of Scotland Spring weather. Good fun, isn’t it?

I woke with 7.8 after an overnight battle with the Diabetes Fairy. I had one of those rare events when the bolus I injected for the meal (fairly large bolus too) I discovered before bed had done absolutely nothing. So I was chasing down high double figures to get that 7.8. I can only assume it was injected into a ‘dead’ area. Haven’t got any obvious lipodystrophy. Anyway, it’s all working properly again. 🙄

Now I’ve just got to wait for all that insulin to dribble out unexpectedly. Good game:D

Anyway, away from the DF and her silly pranks, I’ll be back watching the gee gees. I never bet on horses, or indeed on anything. The only way to make a small fortune betting is start off with a big one.:confused:

Lesson of the day? Keep calm and carry on.🙂

Hope Lanny can get sorted, and Karnak - what the docs never tell you is that with mouth and throat stitches, one of the best local anaesthetics is strong spirits - whisky or gin as a mouthwash and gargle. Don’t swallow. (As if:D)

Have good day folks, when you wake up tomorrow it’s the weekend🙂

Thanks Mike you just made my day. Cheers literally.:D
 
7.5 this morning, not bad. Sick of this weather, Storm Hannah coming now. 😱
 
5.8 again for me this morning. Decided to see what would happen with the old shakes, by lunchtime I was 14.2, which whilst not exactly horrific was more than enough for me, and I fled back to cabbage soup Nocarbland 😱
 
A moan warning but, a bit more of a proactive one!

05:09 BS 6.2. 🙂 Better because the storm had stopped last night!

OMG! Now there’s Hannah forecast with snow!😱 Hopefully if there’s a lot of snow it’ll clear before my review next Thursday: had to cancel one this time last year on the day of the app. because I was snowed in the night before & an amber warning was issued across NI. The hospital were very good about it & issued me another app. a fortnight later & no need for more blood tests!🙄

I suppose this is what it’ll be like every year now: severve storms; due to Global Warming that’s really starting to bite!😱 Hopefully won’t get as BAD as in the film The Day After Tomorrow!😱

Anyways, slept a LOT better last night & I’ll have to take the good days & nights when I get them in between the storms!🙄

Then, I’ll launch a phone campaign every day starting on, I WAS going to say Monday but, just realised it’s a Bank Holiday as it’s St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, Tuesday to see GP. The telephone receptionist just told me about the year waiting list for physio & put down my name without even speaking to a doctor even after I parted with some embarrassing info!😳:( I want a doctor to access me & SEE how limited my movement is: the other arm is just as limited & the only thing better about it; it’s painfree! I know I may not get full movement back in my left arm but, if it can get to the painfree state of the right arm I can with live it, & work around, the lack of movement! I need to make a fuss, hate confrontations, as a poster said on my other thread!🙄

I wish you all a good day!🙂 Batten down the hatches & keep warm as we wait for Hannah!😱

Incidentally, one of my nephew’s wife, would that be my niece in law, is a GP in England called Hannah, same spelling!🙄 I know my nephew & he will probably be amused by the nation preparing for the wrath of Hannah: she was on one episode of the BBC documentary Junior Doctors Your Life In Their Hands making some of them cry while in charge of them at a hospital, before she changed to a GP: easier, lighter work load to start a family!:D
