Group 7-day waking average?

Joining Khskel on the 5.9 step today, slightly higher than normal for me after my first night without sitagliptin, but I had bakeclub last night and while I didn't eat any of the sweet bakes, I did eat a few of the savoury ones, a couple of which had pastry, but as I tested at 4.4 before eating I thought I could allow myself a little treat, my rise at the time was 2.2 so not bad considering. But I am feeling it this morning in having the hangover feeling and a horrible headache.

I'm betting your fellow, non-diabetic, bakeclub members had a bigger rise than you! 🙂
 
6.7 this morning. I would like to say I have just got out of bed but in reality I’ve been up 4 and a half hours! Last day of babysitting, thank goodness! I really don’t know why these celebrities are so desperate to adopt children whilst in their forties and fifties, it’s bloody hard work with a toddler, even for 48 hours. Oh wait...of course they have nannies, cooks, cleaners, personal trainers and whatever! Last night baby went to bed at 8pm, six year old, 8.30, Mr Eggy and I, 9pm! And we’re still exhausted, and they are both really good girls, just very energetic! After little ‘un goes after lunch, we are doing a big, fat NOWT! We love them really. 😉
 
Good morning folks🙂

Things are going well at the moment. The computer man is calling in this afternoon, no doubt to tell me that it would cost more to fix than get a new one. Not that I care, much.🙄 Plus the aerial man is coming tomorrow to upgrade the satellite feed so that I can get back to Sky Q, then I can watch cricket in the man cave in Ultra HD. Ok, my ambitions are set a bit low these days, now that my career as a gigolo has been forcibly ended🙄:D

It’s a big one today - England v Australia at Lords. Just started, should be fun.

Oh, by the way, woke up on 5.2 today, nice straightish line overnight.🙂

Have a good day everyone, I will, basking in the false glory of an HS. Half an hour later, that had gone up to 6.8 with DP. Never mind, that should drift down again. Always does🙂
 
Congratulations on the HS Mike.
 
Good morning 11.6 🙄I don`t know either, 3units of NR down to 6.4 now.🙂 Full cloud cover this morning but warm, suns trying to break through but I think the clouds will win.:(

Congratulations on HS @mikeyB.🙂

Have a good day folks, stay safe.🙂
 
Good morning folks. I have been up since 5 45 am honest.
Woke up to my Libre telling me fibs again 3.7. Finger bodge 7.2, it’s been sent off to Libre heaven now.
Had fun trying to do the Libre update, I tried five times then got onto Abbott they took me through everything I had done before, anyway it’s all sorted now. I’ve just fired up a new sensor fingers crossed it’s a gud un.

We had some rain in the night, the sun is out , it’s nice and warm , the birdies are singing their little hearts out and the gulls are noisy.

Hope you all have a good day.

Ooh! 😛 WHAT a terror to the ladies you must been in your gigolo days: handsome young doctor; nurses fainting into your arms, no doubt? 😱:D😉 Dr. Kildare had nothing on you! :D😉

YOU are hard to please! 🙄 A HS & you call it a false one? 😱 What are you like? :D🙄😉
 
Well I had an average day yesterday with a fasting reading of 7.6 but I am claiming a House Special of 5.2 for today. Yippee!

I am conducting a bit of an experiment today to see how pre bolussing and different foods affect my BG by testing MUCH more regularly.
I have been contemplating investing in a Dexcom G6 to help me figure things out, at least for a couple of months and this morning I decided to take the lower cost option to mimic that by blowing some test strips and pin cushioning my fingers. I am funding these experiment test strips myself, (I am supplied on the NHS for a limited number for essential testing) so I feel at liberty to do this and already feel like I am learning lots after just a few hours. May update later with results.

Oh, the HS was real enough. It’s the glory that’s false. Anyway, I was right about the DP effect. After a shave and a shower I was duly back to 5.1 pre lunch without taking any action.🙂

And it was Dr Kildare that gave me the idea of being a doctor. However did you guess?:D
 
Loquacious & grumpy warning! 😱

05:26 BS 6.1. Ok! 🙂

I had a pretty bad day yesterday! My nerves were SO agitated all day from the neck examinations the day before: tingling then burning hot sensations running up & down my body, arms & legs! JUST about not posting a frown: not going to put one in here! A few times I felt my breathing being depressed but, that passed although the breath in my mouth felt icy cold at times: I once described to A & E doctors, when I had tachycardia in the autumn/winter of 2015, like I’d just taken a big mouthful of really cold ice that makes me gasp! It wasn’t until late last night that everything calmed down a bit for me to get some sleep. I’m still tingling now with the odd hot sensation running through me! My head was pounding all day but, blood pressure was ok unless, head blood pressure is different?

I have physio for the shoulder today at 1pm & it’ll be examined this time: have to tell him about the after effects of my neck assessment & maybe ask for it to be done extremely gently or another time?

I tried resting in bed as much as possible but, there wasn’t much peace with my nerves going bonkers! 😱

I lost track of time & left it too late to call the orthopaedics guy but, I will call him later this morning & tell him how strongly affected I’ve been! 😱

Oops! 😳 I’m grumpier than I realised! Better stick a loquacious & grumpy warning at the top! Back in a mo.

Anyways, I wish you all a Good Morning & a Wonderful Day: better than me! 🙂 JUST about managed a smiley for you all! 😱
 
Morning all! How's tricks
Today mine's only 5.6

Just been checking what I need at the supermarket today. Can't remember saying, "Alexa add Bake Off Oil to my shopping list."
Reminds me of Ronnie Barker's Four Candles
 
Good morning 🙂 6.5 for me today, still pretty gloomy out there so far 😱

Aw, Sorry to hear you are feeling so uncomfortable @Lanny :( I hope the physio is gentle, or perhaps even knows of something that might help once you describe the symptoms {{{HUGS}}} I hope things settle and you can get some decent rest 🙂
 
Morning all and snap @Northerner 6.5 for me too.

Had a little toot on the new sax last night. There's some new keys on the modern ones( post 1950s lol) but I've got them sussed. Let rip at the rehearsal studio tonight.

In the meantime have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all on this child free morning. A very reasonable 6.2 today. Could have had a lie in as no kids to wash and feed but of course my body doesn’t allow things like that. A very stiff neck made me get out of bed at 6.45. Just enjoying the peace if truth be known. Weather glum but I’m not complaining, our grandson is in France with school where temperatures are soaring into the 40s. Tad uncomfortable trailing around the streets of Paris in that. Have a wicked Wednesday whatever the weather throws at you. 🙂
 
Good morning folks! 🙂

5.2 on rising at 6:05 but 4.6 before breakfast

Its bright and sunny here like it has been for days and I'm really not liking the heat, I've got the dentist in 2 hours as well so no option but to go out in it :(

Hope you all have a lovely day! :D
xx
 
Wakened with a sore throat and sniffles this morning, let's hope not a head cold.

Having dropped dosage of Lantus over the last couple of days, a disappointing 6.4 for me this morning
