Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning it’s a midweek 5.9 🙂

Best wishes for you appointment @Grannylorraine and best wishes for your exciting family venture @Lanny - what will happen to your virtual golf handicap?🙂
Thanks @Flower 🙂

Shush, don’t tell them! 😉 I’ll still sneak in a few games now & then: not going to be all work & no play? Hush, hush, now! 😉 & Zipped emoji! 😱:D🙄
 
Well, I'm really chuffed to count myself in good company with @Robin and @khskel with a reading of 5.3 this morning too.

Best of luck to @Lanny. It sounds like you are getting the short straw with the admin work (I would absolutely hate that job!) but I guess it will enable you to sneak in a round of virtual golf more easily than if you were slaving over a steaming wok. Will you be doing any low carb menu options for diabetics?
 
I don’t think so TBH: I’m not “The One That Holds The Curry Paddle”: literal translation of the most important person with all the recipes; in reference to the very thick, concentrated curry paste used to dilute when making curry sauce that needs brute strength & a HUGE wooden paddle to stir!

Oh! I’ll be doing the tasting of sauces everyday too as I’m a super taster: someone with many more tastebuds under their tongues than the average person & can taste minute, subtle differences in the flavours of food! I used to do that at the start of everyday when the batches of sauces were made up for the heated water bath! I had more sensitive taste than our chefs: one was amazed that I could taste the difference in 1 tsp of sugar off balance, flavour is all about balance, in a batch of curry sauce that he couldn’t taste!
 
well thunder showers still haven't arrived

unfortunately my dentist appointments may be extended as upon a scale and polish and impressions this morning he's found an infection, not one that will require antibiotics but root treated or pulled, I've opted for the pull out option as chances are it would need taken out in the future anyway :(

Thank goodness for THAT @eggyg !🙂 & relieved heaving a sigh, emoji!

Also, a cousin of mine in HK is, & has been, a receptionist at an optician for many years & has also learnt a LOT about eyes: don’t sell yourself short; you probably KNOW more than you think! 🙄🙂
I sometimes wish I didn’t! 😱
 
Evening all. 7.6 @ 5.44am that's better!
 
Well I finally got here, 7.2 this morning and good evening.🙂 Went to hospital this morning to have my still broken right wrist, two months now, looked at. Diagnosis was be better off going to a second hand shop,😱 anyway he said that's the best they can do although I can`t use it.😎 dude. I`m off to the private hospital next week I`ll pay for it to be fixed.😡

What you doing @Lanny? I`ll have hot & sour soup at 21:05 delivered to South Devon.:D Good luck to you and your family.🙂

Hey @Kaylz I had roots done a couple of years back, £320.:( Still give me sh*t after two more visits and £180 lighter went to another dentist, one look, one x-ray, less one tooth, no charge. A nice embarrassed colleague.🙄😳

Hazel come on give us all a chance.:D

For everyone who had appointments, hope results were good.😉

Pension age tomorrow so I`ll have to get up later and go to bed earlier with my cocoa, don`t know what to do with the cases of cans.😳:D Take care folks sleep well.🙂
 
05:12 BS 4.3. Crikey! I’m in shock! But, so tired yesterday, I went to bed without dinner & Timesulin cap on Novorapid says 16 hours 30 minutes since I last ate! 😱 Having a couple of jelly babies now, to be on the safe side! Actually, it’s affecting my typing so, wee break for JB’s to take affect! Please don’t worry, didn’t mean to, & I’ll be back!
 
Oops! 😳 05:32 BS 6.2 after 2 JB’s & half an oatcake! Relieved emoji! CAN type now! Sorry about that!😳 My hypo brain wasn’t thinking straight! I said crikey because I was expecting it to be high as I had a REAL fight getting ANY sleep at all last, I was in SO much pain!

I discovered some time ago that heat does not work at all now on the shoulder & agitates my neuropathy. Ice, on the other hand does work & very effectively, albeit uncomfortably cold to start with. After going out yesterday I was already feeling tired & sleepy by 14:15, remembered looking at my watch! But, it wasn’t until about 6pm? before I fell asleep as I was also very wired on adrenaline.

Putting on my heavyweight waterproof coat, & taking it off again, yesterday wrenched my shoulder quite badly & I realised that I can only just about stick my left arm out in front of me & that’s it: not 1 cm higher!

Sleep was very uncomfortable as I FELT the pain through it & woke around 9pm when I applied a gel ice pack. Iced it for a few hours & then fell back asleep around midnight after Levemir. Still uncomfortable feeling discomfort through sleep but, not enough to wake me!

So, when I got this morning I was expecting a high reading. I didn’t realise my hypo brain wasn’t thinking straight & I just wanted to post my reading before I forget it. Then realised when I had great difficulty typing & HAD to stop!

Again, sorry about that!😳

I have my long awaited for physio appointment this afternoon at 2pm. Though I doubt they can fo anything but, refer me on for an injection, maybe 2, my right shoulder needed 2 injections, not all at once with 1 year gap between, I think?

An early Good Morning to you all!🙂

I’m going to have breakfast & insulin now before my blood sugars starts to drop as the JB’s are fast & although the half oatcake is a bit slower release, clearly I need some food! Will catch up later!

Oh, yes! HAVE to say @KARNAK , what a sweet guy you are? 😛🙂 To order the one thing I, in italics, said I could never get quite right! Love you for that! 😛:D
 
Beautiful morning here, Desmond course looming this morning, have upset tummy, not good. 6.8 for me today. Have a good one all x
