Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks. I’ve not read any posts yet, so I hope all is well with everyone.
Woke to 5.2 . I saw the message that I needed to start a new sensor and I hadn’t applied one yesterday :( , that will be, rectified after my shower.

I treated myself to a Fast clix jabber tried out yesterday oh what a difference, I didn’t think it had worked till I gave my finger a gentle squeeze and just enough blood appeared.

Congratulations on the House Special! 🙂

I've only ever used the Multiclix jabber, I wouldn't know how to use any other sort! I've had various different jabbers with free meters over the years but they have all looked too crude in comparison. Still on my original box of lancets too, after 10 years and 9 months! 😱 They've discontinued the Multiclix now but I have 3 spare boxes so should be OK for a few years yet 🙂 Anyway, isn't there some sort of cure due in 10 years? 😉
 
06:17 BS 6.3. 🙂

Got a new Entertainment TV pass at Now TV & spent all of yesterday rewatching season 7 episodes of Game of Thrones: it’s been 2 years so, needed the reminder! Awww! 😛 All those spectacular shots of the rugged coastline around Dragonstone were filmed at Downhill in County Londonderry on The Causeway Coast. I’ve been there so many times & it REALLY is that spectacular: only the little holiday chalets & the railway line has been removed from the shots. And oddly enough, took me a few seconds to recognise because of its removal, The Mussenden Temple on top of the mountain has been removed from the shots as well! But, that was built in the style of an ancient Greco-Roman temple & probably wouldn’t fit into the world of Westeros! 🙄

I used to travel by railway every weekend back home during my college years in Derry & the train tracks follows the sea all the way from Castlerock, just on the East side of that mountain through 3 tunnels, through Downhill, Bellerina where the handgliding club is & all the way to Derry! It’s jaw droppingly beautiful! If you ever visit The Causeway Coast I HIGHLY recommend doing that railway journey if not the entire Belfast to Derry line then at least from Coleraine or Castlerock to Derry: you’ll see where GOT season 7 was filmed for free without going on a coach tour!:D

Oops!😳 Went over like a tourist guide there!😉 But, that’s the film set that my younger brother says to all & sundry he grew up on: been a Londoner since he left for college; “I always knew I grew up on a film set!”:D

Now, taking off the tourist guide cap, I’ll have breakfast & then wait for the phone to ring to find out what’s up!🙄 Wishing you all a wonderful day!😉
 
Morning all, an 8.7 for me today. Going to attempt to cut the grass this afternoon. Hopefully it's dried out enough.
 
Morning lovelies, having managed to avoid all but the most negligible amount of carbs yesterday I have woken on 6.9, yay:D

Celebrating with a bowl of Greek yoghurt. Mr Madeline is conducting his annual spring annihilation of stray vegetation in the garden - chopping stuff off and up, and I am going back to sleeeeeep for a bit.
 
Good morning everyone. My aggressive increasing of overnight basals has started to work with a 7.3 this morning 🙂 Rather pleased with that as my midnight-6am 7 day average is currently 10.5. I wil do l a little bit more tweaking upwards of the basal tonight.
 
Snap @Lanny 6.3 for me too. Trip to the hairdressers today, cut and colour, a week overdue as my hairdresser selfishly went to Rome last week for her 50th birthday, I might forgive as she has been doing my hair for almost 30 years! Then eyebrows and ‘tash waxing afterwards. High maintenance? Moi? Have a great day all. It’s feeling milder out there, at last. 🙂
 
Morning all, a bad start to the day here. I was blasted out of bed by the phone ringing at 7.30am with a BT automated text delivery, same as yesterday, completely blank. I suspect it was Parcelfarce telling me they delivered my Libre sensor yesterday. Checking my BG after that rude awakening, it read 10.1 😱 so I immediately rage bolused a couple of extra units with my breakfast dose, so now I'm sitting at 4.8 and falling, contemplating a post-breakfast biccy!
 
Good morning 3.6 to kick off Spring. I'll join you with a medicinal biscuit @Robin 🙂

Lovely House Spesh @Ljc , I think the 5 and the .2 have broken on my meter. I've got finger jabber envy, yours sounds like a good one! 🙂

Have the best Wednesday you can everyone 🙂
 
Woken to a 7.2 this morning. Much better sleep last night and a nice lie in this morning.
 
6.0 for me this morning - well that was when I woke up after being up with a hypo in the night. i'm tired and grumpy today - roll on 6pm so I can go home!
 
I spoke too soon, blasted steroids have sent me up to 12.2. All I’ve had is proper Greek yoghurt. Gaaaaah.
 
Good morning all🙂

Long lie in this morning. 10 hours kip. Think I’m turning into a teenager, apart from the spots and self abuse:confused:

Woke up on 8.2, or thereabouts, probably due to a misjudged correction of a bedtime 3.2. Plus a bit of DP. Who cares, it’s not that bad.:D At least I slept through the hypo hangover, to find the country is in chaos, according to various politicians. What took them so long to notice? It’s their fault, anyway. So is food banks, and the pitiful state of NHS England, and the scarcity of policemen. Don’t shame this government for not sorting out Brexit, shame them for that.

Oops, long sleeps must make me paradoxically grumpier.:D

Don’t worry, I’ll set the alarm tomorrow, then I can be my usual sunny self😉

Have a good day, everyone, Spring Equinox. 20 minutes in midday sunlight should get you your RDA of Vitamin D, so do it🙂
 
My GP just called me, the one I haven’t seen in 5/6 years since she started teaching at medical school & only works part time, & it is my liver that’s causing problems. She’s referred me on to the Gastrointestinal team at the hospital for a series of tests like Hepatitis etc. I’ll need to keep an eye on the liver with blood tests every 6-8 weeks. It’s a long waiting list for the gasto team. Also, a good idea to go back on the low fat diet I adopted for 6 years after my diagnosis of Fatty Liver: it’s only this past year when I started eating, eggs, diary & red meat again!

Now, there’s just the diabetic review to go at the hospital tomorrow!

How much skin though, Mike? Don’t want to scare the neighbours.
