Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 7.5 here.Was helping daughter decorate her new house yesterday evening, and raided the fridge when I got back in case of post-paintbrush hypo. I obviously didn’t put my back into it as much as I thought.
 
Morning all, a 7.8 for me today.
Will try and get week 6 of my USA adventure up later.

Thanks hun, think it's just a couple of wee fillings and an x-ray today, then got a few weeks off as he's on holiday then it'll be 2 teeth out :( xx
 
Good morning gang🙂

I always expect a nice straight line overnight, gently sinking to a textbook waking number. Went to bed on 7.1, woke up on 7.2. So much for that theory:D Dead straight line, mind.

Computer man came yesterday afternoon, and condemned my machine to computer heaven, so I sent him off to transfer all my files on to a new machine which he will build to my specs. Should be back up and running in a day or two. 🙂

And today the man will arrive to fettle the satellite feed so I can get back to using Sky Q, and watch cricket and footie in 4K Ultra HD.😎 Must get an OLED TV to get full benefit.

Also included in current spending spree was a delivery that arrived this morning - a 100ml bottle of Chanel Egoiste Eau de Toilette, which should perk me up after today’s shower. Bit above my station, I reckon, but there’s nowt like a bit of posing.😎:D

Have a good day everyone while you can, before you have to man the barricades.:D
 
Good morning 6.4 on another muggy day.🙄 Engineer is here dismantling the bathroom trying to get at the toilet cistern, lots of noise and dust.:(

Hope you have a better day @Lanny.🙂

Congrats on the HS @Kaylz,🙂 hope you don`t get any grief at the dentist.

Have a good day folks.🙂
 
Well didn't get anything done today apart from impressions and the x-ray to determine which tooth the infection was coming from BUT its definitely in one and possibly taking hold in the one next to it so at the end of July I'll be getting 3 teeth out in one go :( wasn't even out an hour but Bubbles seemed to have missed me as he was climbing round my neck on my return! :D
 
Well, a surprising 4.1 this morning for me. Don't think I have had a fasting reading that low before. Was intending to have tea instead of my usual mocha this morning after my frequent testing yesterday suggested it might be raising my BG a couple of notches but with a reading of 4 I stuck with the mocha. Went up to 7.0 and then back down to 5.4 so I decided to have my usual mushroom omelette and salad as well with just one unit of pre bolussed NR. Continuing my hourly finger prick testing experiment today. I do feel I benefitted from it yesterday as it helped me make good decisions.... like going for a short run to see if I could bring it down from 7 yesterday afternoon. I hate running but I am going to do that again today even though it didn't have the desired effect at the time, I know it is good for me and wanting to see if it would lower my BG was an incentive. Mentally I am feeling much more positive and that has to be a good thing.
@Lanny Hope your physio appt goes smoothly and you feel better when you leave than when you arrived.
@Kaylz Pleased your dentist appt wasn't too traumatic but don't envy you the next one. Not sure I would make the appt if I knew it was for 3 extractions, or even one for that matter, unless I was in total agony. I'm not phobic about the dentists but having teeth pulled is a big fear. Congrats on your HS today!

I don't mind, one is broken and one infected the third I did get the option of trying to leave it and see what happened but may as well just get it out and added to the denture now rather than probably having to have it done later, I used to be prone to terrible abscesses so being free of any since I was diagnosed diabetic has been amazing, I'd get them every few months and that's me been free from them for almost 3 years now so a huge relief lol, see I may inject at least 4 times a day but dentist needles are totally different so I am still scared of them haha xx
 
@Kaylz
I too have seen health benefits since my diabetes diagnosis.... no more migraines which were becoming pretty debilitating.
I get what you are saying about needles at the dentist. Why on earth do they have to be so long!

I used to be more scared of the needles than the fillings, but then I told my last dentist this and he started using 'child' needles - much smaller and finer and I felt nothing 🙂 He sometimes had to do two injections instead of just one, but as they no longer worried me I didn't mind that 🙂 Worth asking about if your dentist doesn't use these 🙂

i have no idea what he uses! lol, the last tooth I had out it had a twisted root so was really sore even with the max of anaesthetic so I'm absolutely dreading it :( if my little munchkin greets me like this again like this morning it should cheer me up though lol xx

That picture of that cat! Ha! :D S'funny. Made my night.

8.0 @ 9.14am this morning, 7.5 @ 5.00am day before. My eating/bg has been weird all day. It was watermelon test day as well, but after a bowl of stew at 4.00am which I called breakfast, I went to a 9.00 @ 11.25am after a mad rush shop. I thought exercise made the bg go down?! I then had a chicken breast for lunch with M&S box of watermelon fingers @ 11.30 (early lunch). The chicken was a bit dry so I had a bit of chicken and then a bit of melon till it was all gone. Very nice together. 7.5 @ 2.46pm.
 
Morning everyone!!
Only 5.1!!

Good news!! I'll be waiting in this morning for delivery of my new bluetooth headphones to match my FitBit watch (a prezzie because of my good test results last week)😎
Bad news!! The courier's our dear friend Yodel. Judging from previous experience it could become a Nodelivery!!😡
