Group 7-day waking average?

Morning my lovelies 🙂

I'm joining @Madeline with a 6.6 this morning 🙂

Got a letter through to book an appointment for bloods ahead of the consultant on the 21st so gonna ring up soon and see if I can get anything for the 14th, wonder how long I'll be waiting today? lol

Bubbles (the cat) is still withdrawn and hiding under the computer chair after creating havoc already but never mind lol

Hope you check up goes well @Northerner ! xx
 
Good morning 10, increased Basal by 2 units last night but to no avail.🙄 Cloudy just stopped raining here they lied on the weather forecast yesterday got it totally wrong.:(

Good luck @Northerner. 🙂

Congratulations @Ljc on HS.🙂

Have a good day folks.🙂
 
Morning (just) all. A 7.7 today but I didn’t get up until 10am! That is unheard of for me, I just felt so, so tired, still do to be fair, hope not coming down with anything. It’s lovely and sunny here but chilly I may just read my book and watch my birdies today. Have a merry Monday.
 
Good morning 🙂 An unusual 7.7 for me today, maybe the reason I have slept in a bit? Looking very foggy outside 😱 Hoping for no sun later as I have the eye hospital (yet) again to find out if I need injections. I couldn't remember how long this business had been going on with the macular oedema, so I looked up my first mention of it here on the forum - October 2014! 😱 Every time they suck in their breath then tell me it's not quite at the point where I need the injections yet, see you in 6-8 weeks 🙄 Wish me luck and cloudy skies! 🙂
Good luck, fingers crossed for you.
 
Not quite morning! 7.7 at bed time and 10.1 on waking at 630 and then 12.2 a few minutes later ...... back down to 7.0 at 10am. It’s almost May and that means the trauma of kids, panic and GCSE again!

On a positive ..... Shiny new sensor to apply after tea - the addiction

Hope all had a good day
 
Evening all, last in again. 7.9 @ 6.49am not bad for me. 🙂

Ooh well done! How’s the blasted low carbing going? I’m already fed up with cabbage BUT I’ve stayed in single figures ALL DAY! Not a carb has passed my lips. Admittedly I’m in a foul mood, just got to get through the night, and not murder the builders next door if they start early again.
 
I'm doing great if I do say so myself! The eye thing has been the crisis point, the thought of eating something that will make my eyes bleed is a no no. I am living on fish and vegetables but I do eat a lot of them. Not sure how many carbs I'm having but at least they're healthy carbs. 🙂

When I go down to the wash'ouse I wear red ear protectors against the noise of the top loader. I look a proper tit but needs must. You might have to get some if the builders are going to be in for the long haul. 😱
 
They started at a quarter to SEVEN this morning. Well, that’s when they woke me up.

I’ve had words. Cross words. I’m not functioning well on little sleep.

Cabbage family is a great veg family for low/no carbing. I am pretty much living on chicken, fish, cabbage, salad, and yoghurt/cheese.
 
Good morning 🙂 7.2 for me today 🙂 Good news and slightly-less-good-news at the eye hospital yesterday. I still haven't reached the point at which they would give injections - in fact my macular oedema has improved slightly 🙂 Pressure in eyes still a bit on the high side though, so I've now been put on drops for it - this is despite the fact that she said the holes they had lasered in my eyes had been a success :confused: If the drops work I'll probably be on them for life, if not then they might do more laser. A bit annoying, but I can't complain 🙄
 
05:59 BS 6.1.🙂

I need to get Liver Function blood tests today, the first 6 week check up, was actually marked on the calander for yesterday but, today'll do! It's not fasting as I'm going to eat breakfast & if they're to be fasting, I'll prepare & do it tomorrow or the next few days! The cholesterol one I know needs to be fasting for better accuracy! I also, might as well do my kidney function blood tests too.

Just over a week ago I picked up my usual 2 month supplies of meds & my blood pressure meds were only for 1 month with a note to check my kidney function blood tests before they'll issue me any more! I've noticed my blood pressure has been a bit higher lately, not very much higher, but, the blood DOES tend to pound in my ears a bit after every little effort just from moving around the house! Resting blood pressure has risen a wee bit from around 114/65 wish to about 124/72, still within normal levels, & I had a blood pressure nosebleed recently when watching the final day of The Masters Golf when I can't remember when I last had one: in the run up to getting prescribed blood pressure meds I had frequent pounding headaches & nosebleeds; I now know were caused by high blood pressure!😱🙄

I've been off statins due to abnormal liver function for 6 weeks now & I'm well settled into my low fat diet & hope my liver hasn't worsened! Still no word at all about the gastrointestinal team but, I was warned it's a long waiting list!:(🙄 Fingers crossed emoji!

A bit later than usual Good Morning to you all & may it be a good one full of sunshine on the inside!😉
