Group 7-day waking average?

10:54 BS 10.8. Mildly surprised by that but, only a little bit. I think I was bitten by something the other day when I was out. I was scratching a little spot near my hairline on the left side of my face that evening & last night another even more massive swelling near it, higher up almost hidden by hair is another one that’s really painful. Put tea tree oil on both last night before bed & I’ll put more on today & it’s gone down a bit but, still painful! :(

I was once bitten by something on my chin that swelled to massive proportions & took nearly a week to recover with tea tree & aloe vera. 😱

Ah, well! A bit more insulin with brunch & midday meds today try, being the operative word, not to scratch them!🙄😱

A very, late, Good Morning to you all & have a bright day of sunshine or a day in the shade for the undead! :D😉
 
Typing while you were @KARNAK , sorry to hear about your wrist. My sister in law once slipped on the slope down to the car park at our local chemist in the snow & ice & broke her wrist as she instinctively used her hands to break her fall. It had to set in a cast twice as it wasn’t done right the first time! 😱
 
6.4 this morning. Hope everyone had a good day.
 
8.4 this morning. I’ve been trying a different insulin regime to cope with the midday steroid spike which seems to be working for fasting reading. Can still finish the day on high 20s though 😱
Always like to go back to Diabetic Clinic in true Blue Peter style ... this is what I did earlier!
Hope you’ve all got the Friday feeling xx
 
A nice round 6 this morning. Must have been the tidying of the shed yesterday afternoon, what a couple of hoarders we are. Babysitting today so will get lots of exercise again today! Have a fab Friday and for all you wage slaves, make the most of this bank holiday weekend as it’s your last for three months! 🙂
 
Morning folks 🙂

6.9 for me this fine looking day, unfortunately I'm stuck in as I'm the only person available to look after Bubbles, was hoping to get out next Saturday but nope, Bruce is being selfish and going out to a darts exhibition, he's barely looked after HIS Bubbles :(

He had his lampshade off for about 2 hours yesterday, he looked VERY odd after almost 3 weeks with it on lol, unfortunately he started on his stump when he went back in the cage so we could get on with tea so it had to go back on, baby steps it seems

Hope everyone has a nice day! 🙂
xxxx
 
Morning all, beautiful day here in sunny Brighton. 6.6 for me this morning, been up an hour and had a coffee and obligatory meds. Going out for breakfast soon as our 33rd wedding anniversary. Happy to report my grandson Jack is home from hospital, very delicate, in pain but so happy to have him back alive and ‘well’. Hope you all have a lovely day xx
 
Good morning all🙂

And a special good morning to SueEK, congrats on the 33 years, and great news about your grandson.🙂

My new diet seems to be working well. Went to bed on 6.1 without even a bolus for my Spanish Omelette and salad. Woke up on 5.6 with a straight line overnight. That’s just running on Levemir. I don’t think I can keep that up, but it’s encouraging.

Anyway, this afternoon I get my new wheelchair, so I’ll be even more smug, if that’s possible. You know how shy and retiring I really am🙄

It’s a beautiful day for a whiz round, for sure, so I’ll be building up my Vit D reserves, and so should you.🙂

Have a good day, everyone, whatever you are doing.🙂
 
12:32 BS 8.0. Better despite being so late. Oh, my memory these days. So many times now I take my reding, log on here, read the new posts, to me, on this thread ready to post my & I’ve forgotten: always have to switch the machine back on for the reading & time! 🙄😱

I’m freezing this morning as there’s a definite nip in the air & grey clouds. I did indeed get bitten by something & kept applying aloe vera, for healing, & tea tree, for infection, to my bites yesterday & my blood sugars were higher than normal which I had to correct for: +4 for brunch was too much with almost a hypo before dinner, so, +2 for supper. This morning they’re are lot flatter, I would say but, still very red so, same treatment & try, again operative word, not to scratch! 🙄 Is there a resisting temptation emoji: a smiley with an angel on one side & a devil on the other? :D😱🙄

Just got a letter in the post about liver function tests which are about the same & I have a telephone appointment on 18/06/19 about my Lipids test. I had forgotten about those. How worrying I have to wait till June but, it couldn’t be that bad if it can wait. I wonder what my low fat diet these last 2+ months has done? 🙄

Anyways, off for some food, already had my midday meds, had to do them first, as aI almost forgot to take them after gabbing on yesterday’s post: memory; distracted & I forget what I’m supposed to be doing! 😱🙄 And I’m tending towards loquaciousness too: probably already noticed? 🙄:D😳

A late Good Day to you all!😉
