Group 7-day waking average?

Maybe the running and the walk to the park, around the park After the kids (I can't just sit on the bench in case the younger one runs out of the gate and into the road) and back home.

Almost certainly! And the effects of exercise will still be in place for many hours afterwards 🙂 Insulin gets the energy from glucose into your body's cells, and to do this it uses 'receptors' on each cell, which are a bit like locks and insulin is the key. When you exercise many more of these receptors are created on your cells and this has the effect of making you more sensitive to the insulin your body is producing, meaning glucose can more readily be taken out of the blood 🙂

Keep up the good work! Maybe a reduction in medication is now due 🙂
 
10:14 BS 8.1. 😱 Stayed up after the midnight alarm to watch the penultimate episode of GOT at 2am. OMG! I’m bursting but, I’m keeping it zipped as @Northerner requested & no spoilers! 😱 Zipped emoji AND over inflated about to burst emoji!:D

Yesterday was actually a little bit cloudier & cooler but, still very nice & today’s looking good too!🙂

A bit later than usual, for me, Good Morning to you all & stay sunny on the inside at the start of this new week!😉

Edited to add:-
Oh, forgot to add went to bed about 4am after watching & I’ll have some brunch in another hour or so!🙄
 
Good morning 8.5, trying to keep figures slightly higher after several hypo`s, usually after or during walking.🙄 Off to Torbay Hospital tomorrow morning hopefully to have plaster off my broken right wrist.🙂 Sun and clouds today 23.C in the living room were the Dyson is about to attack the carpet.😎

Good luck at Dentist @Bloden.🙄🙂

Have a good week folks.

Thank you, I had also forgot to take my morning meds so was going to take them with lunch, left the out in the end. See my diabetes specialist beginning of June so about 3 weeks today so will discuss this with them.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke after a long lie in on 5.3. Close, but no cigar.🙄 I didn’t bother doing a blood test to try to finesse an HS. There’s honesty for you :D

It’s a beautiful day today, so may have brunch on the balcony. Spent yesterday watching footie, mainly to see who will be in the championship next season after the play offs. After food I’ll pop down into the village to grab some spuds and Fairy Liquid. Isn’t life exciting?

Got an appointment with the GP at 10 tomorrow. Should be a quick appointment - just need to set up an appointment with the gastroenterologist for my overdue colonoscopy, a scan of my pancreas and/or appointment with a pancreas team, and a private appointment with the neurologist at Preston who specialises in peripheral neuropathies. This is just to reestablish all the links I had in Scotland, but without ferry rides.🙂

I’ll wait for my diabetes review to get a pump set up.🙄

Have a good day folks, you can pretend it’s summer. Time to iron the T-Shirts:D

That is absolutely disgusting, things like this really wind me up, there is a vet here that refused to treat a small dog after it had actually been run over the top of by a man on a push bike as it wasn't registered there so the poor lassie had to drive 10 miles with her dog pining in absolute agony to a vets that would see it :( xx

Not much compassion there. Shame the dog was in agony but hopefully got treatment from a Vet who really cared.
 
Morning @Northerner Another early riser! I hate being up at this time. Teacher life! I’m on 6.7 this morning.
 
10.1 this early morning. Single figures still elusive.
Chemo day today but I have changed my time so I can watch daughter ride this morning before I get poisoned and retire to bed.
See you in a few days xx
 
Morning everyone. A very nice 5.6 today, could be due to the fact I walked 17 miles yesterday! Also I was up at 5.45, a tad achy today! Looking like another fab day, was planning on a bit of gardening but might just have to lounge on my new sunlounger. Have a great day. And don’t forget the sunscreen ( unlike me yesterday 😡).
 
Sorry haven’t read posts for a bit. Busy getting ready to return to work. 7.3 for me so better boogie
 
Morning guys 🙂

Sensor change yesterday but both scan and prick showed a 7 for me this fine morning

I've got bloods being taken at 10:30 for my review next Tuesday and Bubbles is back in for another bandage change today so Bruce is just gonna drop Bubbles in at the vet and follow up to the health centre, me & Bubbles will be matching as he's had wee bruises on his leg from being sedated so often so he'll get one today and no doubt I'll end up with a bruise too, my mum will be joining the both of us tomorrow as well, she's been lacking energy for a good few months now (no idea how considering the amount of energy drinks she puts away!!) but the Dr that called last week is having her tested for anaemia, diabetes etc

Hope you all have a lovely day whatever you are doing :D xx
 
09:27 BS 5.8.:D

Yesterday was nice but, this morning it’s already super bright sunshine & it’s a glorious day!:D😎 I laughed a lot playing golf yesterday: not as many games or won as many matches as I was promoted up to a higher rank but, I had fun losing; trying out new shots hit by better players & hitting the sand or water; a bit more practice!😛😱🙄🙂 And I DIDN’T play all day either: learning a bit of restraint?🙄:D

I will definitely need the suncream in the conservatory today & lots of iced water too, me thinks!:D😛😎😱

Have a Wonderful. Day folks & enjoy the sunshine & if there isn’t much of it on the outside, stay sunny on the inside!😉
 
5.3 for me today, went to bed on a 5.3 so steady all night. Just waiting for the traffic to calm down then I will be leaving for work. Living so close to the M25 and Dartford crossing, sometimes the whole area grinds to a halt, so I take the view log on from my living room, work until I see on the local facebook page that the traffic has cleared then drive in, instead of sitting in traffic going no where for a couple of hours.
 
Good afternoon all.🙂

I woke on 7.2, which isn’t great, but nowt to worry about. Inaccurate fish pie bolus I suppose.🙄

Anyway, had a nice sunny T-Shirted run to see the doctor today, who was a bit horrified at my consultation with the neurologist, who turns out to be a locum consultant. The main issue being he never examined me. So, he’s getting me a private appointment with the neurology specialist whose special interest is peripheral neuropathy, if that’s what I’ve got. Also arranged reacquaintance with my old mate Damian who knows me inside out. Mainly inside:confused:

Going into the village, I overtook a lady cyclist (I guess about fifty-ish) who was going slowly up the hill. “Show off!” she said. “Don’t worry, love, you’ll pass me going downhill” I responded. Then she asked what was written on my T-Shirt. It’s an ingredient list - for the human body. I stopped for her to have a read “What’s the percentage of bullshit?” She asked. I nearly fell off the scooter laughing “100%, but you can’t test that by physical analysis.” Anyway, off she went, so I shouted after her, “Keep up the good work”. “I will if the knees hold out” was her reply as she disappeared into the distance.

It’s fun, open air travelling🙂

Have a good day everyone, soak up some rays to feed the bones🙂
