Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 7.0 waking today. Only rose to 7.5 post breakfast. Not bad. I rose from 6.4 - 9.2 after tea last night which made me worry what this morning would do. I’d eaten salad!!

Late for roll call this morning, I may be a bit hungover! Anyways a 6.2 at 9, didn’t go to bed until 2, that’s so not like me but we had friends around and we ended up rolling up my rug and dancing to Northern Soul classics! Went straight to bed after they left and I have to now tackle ALL the dishes! My best ones that are not dishwasher proof. Help! Have a great day, we still have Gareth or has he transitioned into Hannah? Whatever, it was seamless! :D
 
Things are settling down again for you!🙂 You’ll know what to expect next month!🙄


Edited my post. I only rose to 7.5 today I should have said. Things do seem to be settling yes. I still get the odd high rise for no real reason like last night though.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

Not a good morning for me, though, woke up with 2.9. Steady line overnight, though, drifting down from a pre sleep 6.8. Evening Levemir, that. Never mind, work in progress🙄

Horrible day, wind and water everywhere. The weather is horrible too.:D

Still, no need to go out anywhere, so it’s into hibernation mode, the only decisions to made are which sport to watch. Rovers do have a home game this weekend, but that’s tomorrow when it should be just windy with occasional showers. 13.00 kick off, so I assume it’s on telly if the weather is still evil, so there is a default setting if I don’t fancy interacting with the real world🙂

Have a good day folks, don’t forget to check for spiders in the wellies.🙂

Oh, snap!😉 I woke with 6.2 as well.😎

Oh I can see you strutting your stuff!😛:D
 
Good morning all. Wet and windy here. 7.9 for me but miraculously as I was out last night and limited myself to 1 small piece of millionaires shortcake. Mouth sore as at dentist and got a new partial denture which really hurt my gum in the fitting. (Metal clip jagging in...ouch) Now gum swollen and tender. Will be toothless today and slops for me.
Stay warm, stay safe all.

Like for your good waking number. 🙂 Not your poor gums! :( Better make sure soup, if that’s what you mean, is not too hot either!😱
 
Good morning folks . Went to bed on 6.9 and woke to 6.9. My graph however shows a steep rise to a tad under 9.0 starting around 0100 which started to drop around 0300, it’s been like this for a couple of days now, so I’m trying half a unit more basal.

I’ve e treated myself to a new lancing devise it should arrive soon a Fast clix I’ll probably have to buy the lancets but as I don’t use that many 😉 I don’t mind.
 
Oh, how worrying!:( Just got 2 letters in the post just now, a bit later than usual this morning but, can be up to 4pm sometimes, from my health centre. One to tell me to stop statins immediately & book urgent app. with GP. The other telling me to retest in 1 week & I have a phone app. on 26/03/19 regarding Lipid test, which I think is cholesterol? On Saturday when Monday is a Bank Holiday! Now, I’ll be worrying until Tuesday!:(

I’d already stopped taking statins sometime ago when it was just too painful with the injury as well! Statins have given me aches all over my body from the start when on them & the meds were changed a few times to no avail. Definitely caused by the statins as the aches stopped when I didn’t take them, with GP’s approval a few years ago for 3 months, but, had to go back on them because cholesterol rose too high: “better for you if you can tolerate the side effects”, I was told!:(
 
Afternoon all, a 9.4 for me this morning when I got up at 4.30 for work. I now have 6 days off. Did get some good news yesterday, they are going to keep me on when I get back from America.
 
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 😱
Which shakes? SlimFast?

I daren't take my reading this morning. :(
 
Darn it, I was gonna try SlimFast again as desperate to curb my food addiction. I'm boiling hot and nauseous all the time now. :( Presume it's the D or hopefully just a virus. Never heard of Stripfast.
 
I got it from Amazon, if you take it, you need to take an iron supplement. Other than that it’s the same stuff, just less carbs and a bit more protein. I much preferred having 4 shakes as it kept me full longer.
 
04:43 BS 5.3!:D ALMOST a House Special!😛

Well, Hannah hasn’t hit us yet!🙄 Last night was actually quite warm ish, compared to other nights recently! Slept quite well!🙂

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to my fellow Irish folk!:D An excuse to get legless at the pub?🙄 Oh, drat! I’m tee total so, WHAT do I, in italics, do?😱:D Stuff myself with another contraband, to a diabetic, item: cake?😱:D🙄😉 I’m toasting this day for the Irish in a slice of carrot cake with my cup of tea after breakfast!😛:D😉

A very early good morning to you all! Have an easy, lazy Sunday!😉

:D:D:D Edited to correct typos! Despite appearences, with earlier typos, no I’m not legless & I enjoyed my carrot cake!😱😛:D😉
