Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks🙂

I woke up on 3.7 after a straight line night on 4 -5 ish. Me and Levemir are having a close game. Might be due to me dragging my newly arrived computer desk around yesterday afternoon. My legs seem to agree, for sure, they’re on a go slow this morning:confused: The rest of me too, slept for ten hours, complete with weirdly optimistic naughty dreams🙄

Course, it could be the shock I had yesterday afternoon reading Balance and finding one of my posts on the Viewpoint page “On The Forum” section. Bit stern, I thought. Follows a brilliantly reassuring post by Grainger, which is well worth reproducing.

So where’s our royalty payments?😡:D

Have a good day everyone. It’s shaping up interesting for me - Australia are 68 for 4 against the West Indies.😉

Congrats on your HS.

A straight 6 for me, but still fighting some sort of virus, but at least this horrible feeling will only be temporary. Did hit an 8 yesterday after eating a raspberry magnum to soothe my throat, actually expected it to be worse than that. Need to be good as have my HbA1c next week, so hoping it shows an improvement and DN will reduce my meds, so need to be good for rest of the week, but I know one magnum won't damage it much.

If your HbA1c doesn't show an improvement then I'll eat my flat cap! 😱 🙂

Do we know the exact carb count of said flat cap? I was so annoyed that I feel bad this week, but I know it is only one week out of a three month period and if I don't eat anymore magnums I should be ok. Best thing is they used to be my favourite ice cream, but I found it far too sweet and make me feel a bit sick.

Hehe! I think we all wish to be in the best of health and on our best behaviour the week before our HbA1c! 🙂 It's true that there's slightly more weight given to more recent weeks, but as you say that magnum is only a fraction of a fraction 🙂 It's good that your tastes have changed, mine have too 🙂 Last year I had some hot chocolate fudge cake with mint choc chip ice cream for the first time in years and it was so sweet I could hardly finish it 😱 I did though, because I'm from Yorkshire and it wasn't cheap! 😱 :D

I've got my HbA1c due next week too, had the blood taken earlier this week 😱
 
Evening all. I don’t seem to have time in a morning to post so sorry it’s about 12 hours late!

A cracking 5.6 this morning and 5.4 now so I think a pretty good day. Libre says I’ve been 87% in target for the last 24 hours - I’m pleased with my self. I have checked periodically with a back up finger prick and they’re all within 0.5 of each other.

Have a good evening.

Wow! Good work @Bexlee! 🙂
 
Good morning 6.9, washing all done and dried.🙂 That was as you may well guess was earlier,🙄 just so glad I am able to be back on board this evening.🙂 Only quickly whipped through posts so apologies if I have not responded to individual posts.:( Off to Podiatrist tomorrow, think I may have put my foot in it.😳

Another HS for Hazel, well done.🙂

Staying on the forum to catch up hopefully, beer is flowing, grub is plentiful, favourite music playing what more can you ask for? Sorry wrong apartment,😛 stay safe folks.
 
Morning all, a 7.9 for me today.
 
Good morning all. 6.9 for me and first review bloods after insulin on 24th. Don’t expect miracles as bloods running a bit higher due to walking. One good thing, learning subtle signs of hypoland. Nurse was happy for me to let levels run a wee bit higher when walking.

One day work to go then one sleep till moonwalk night. Yipee to both

Have a good day all and stay well
 
Good morning - 5.5 today
Quite pleased, as I have been reducing Lantus every other day, even Novorapid intake down as well.

Thanks @Northerner. That’s brilliant. 🙂 Let’s hope his GP plays ball!😛

Morning all.🙂 6.1 on the Libre.:D

A grey day here. Perfect for sorting out my cluttered office / brain / laptop, tee hee.🙄
 
Good morning folks 🙂

5.1 for me this morning so like @Flower just missing out lol

Not that I was to be going but its the Angus Show here tomorrow (annual agricultural show) but entry fee has been lowered as with the horrible forecast all sheep, cattle, native and light legged horses sections have been cancelled, been a few times and it is good but helluva expensive, such a shame the main events and attractions have had to be cancelled :(

Hoping the weather will be good in 4 weeks time though as it's our Harley Davidson In The City event, much closer than usual as it's been moved down next to the river this year whereas its always been up the high street before, so only a few minutes to get there this year and on the street Bruce lives on lol

Anyways hope you all have a fab day! :D
xx
