Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 7.3 here for me.

Father popping in to visit this morning. Since we moved house he constantly wants to come see me. He never used to bother before and we always had to go to him. Drives me a bit mad but can’t keep saying no!
 
Morning all, 5.1 here. Next door's white cherry blossom is almost over, it's been out a while. Our little pink one is in its prime, but it won’t last long if it’s as hot as is forecast over the weekend.
 
Morning all and a HS for me.

Promised prescription from the surgery for the Creon didn't materialise yesterday. So careful rationing until I can get an emergency one sorted.

Looks quite pleasant outside and the cherry tree outside is looking quite spectacular.

Have a good day everyone.
Congrats on the HS! 🙂 Hope you can source some Creon asap!
 
5.3 for me on this lovely sunny day. Now just to be good at the Easter egg hunt today. I managed to resist my home made hot cross buns yesterday when they first came out of the oven. I am preparing 2 different salads for me, my mum (who has recently been diagnosed as diabetic), and my daughter as she is on a diet, so at least we can support each other.
 
Morning my lovelies! :D

5.8 blood vs 5.9 scan for me this morning

quite chuffed with this sensor as the worst I've had between a finger prick and scan is 1.4mmol out 🙂 xx
 
After a few days of higher morning numbers it was a 5.8 for me this morning, which considering the c**p I ate late last night after returning from our Maundy Thursday service & vigil was quite surprising.

On Wednesday I saw my daughter, and had a nice but very bready roll from Greggs as there wasn't much else, then about 4 hours later on the train home I felt a bit shaky, so ate a Babybel I had in my bag. When I got in I did a test and the meter beeped excitedly cos it was 4.2... so I had a couple of falafels & tomatoes and some dark chocolate. I am still often baffled by D! o_O
 
I wasn’t going to post this morning as didn’t want to start my birthday on a negative but hey ho here goes. 8.2! 😡 I will be chasing highs all day now as I am out for a special birthday lunch and my dear friend bought me chocolates! It would be rude not to taste them. The forecast is fabulous for us and usually would venture into the Lakes but not at Easter, that’s just for tourists! Have a Good Friday everyone....I will. 🙂
 
Morning all. 8.3 for me today disappointingly but I was stressed out due to watching David Attenborough last night before bed. I was wondering where the April showers went. :(

Have a cracking birthday. 🙂

I had to put the damned bacon back and turn off the grill. I forgot!
 
I got a nice 5.2 this morning but slowly rising as an hour later I’m at 6.3 - nighttime hypo rebound I think!
A reading of 5.2 is our 'House Special'! 🙂 Congratulations! 🙂 That 6.3 isn't unusual, just a bit of 'Dawn Phenomenon, where your liver starts releasing extra glucose to give you energy to start the day 🙂
 
Morning all, 10.8 for me this morning. I thought it might have been higher given what I ate last night at the Italian restaurant :D.

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
Good morning gang🙂

I woke up on 7.2, but that was after a straight line overnight with no bumps or dips, so it looks like I’ve got summer Levemir sorted at last. Slightly higher than ideal, but that’s only because I didn’t get the bolus quite right for yesterday’s meatloaf. 🙄

Lovely day today, but if you watched David Attenborough last night, the temperatures are just worrying. That won’t stop me having lunch on the balcony, though. Won’t be wearing shorts, mind. Never do, these days, my legs don’t match.:confused:

I see Mrs May has gone on a walking holiday in Wales. Nice weather for it, but last time she did that she came straight back and called an election, which has caused the current chaos. She won’t do that this time, it would split the Tories asunder. Oh well, we’ll see. The EU are bewildered by our parliament taking a fortnight off in the middle of life changing negotiations, but that’s the English way of doing things.🙄

Today is Good Friday, strictly speaking this should be a day of fasting, abstinence, and general misery. Aye, right. Weather like this?

Have a great day everyone. I’ll be fasting between meals. Abstinence is easy peasy.🙂

05:32 BS 4.6. 🙂 I'm getting consistently in the 5's & sometimes the 4's now!😛

The birdies are singing outside my window again!:D Yesterday was quite a warm day with super bright sunshine & hopefully today will be the same!🙄 We always seem to get our best weather around Easter, even when it was early one year, & then then the rest of the summer is wet. And last year's heat wave was about the same time too, if I remember correctly!🙄

I'll have a wee gander down the lane, onto the main road 750 steps away, later to see if the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom yet & wander back in for around 2000 steps. I'm building up slowly as my stamina, energy levels & shortness of breath means I can't walk far yet!😳

An early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😛:D😎
 
Morning all on what promises to be another spectacular day. Well after yesterday’s birthday celebrations it’s probably no surprise I measured 8.4 on the Richter scale. I had even upped my night time Levemir by 1 unit. Hmmm...anyways, back to normality today, bed changing, ironing, preparing meals. I will of course be taking in the sun at some point in the day. Have a great day. 🙂
 
5.8 this morning so a little higher than usual, but I ran out of one of my meds on Thursday, and not collecting the next lot until today, so missed a dose yesterday. Plus I was doing very well on the buffet at yesterday's Easter egg hunt for the grandkids, until my mum remembered she had brought some cheesy twist breadsticks and left them in the car, once there were in the house I struggled and in the end ate about 5 so could have been a lot worse, especially as I had cross buns, cheese scones, mini creme egg rocky road and a lovely chocolate mint cake all homemade, along with the usual type of buffet food.

5.8 is a very good number Lorraine, especially after missing your meds and that feast (well, in diabetes terms!) 🙂
