Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, a 7.9 for me today.
 
Good morning folks! 🙂

6.0 for me and bright and sweltering already, think I'll be staying in today as me and heat don't quite see eye to eye lol

@MeeTooTeeTwo I absolutely hate Yodel, a few years ago they were supposed to deliver my new phone and never turned up, popped out for a wee while to come home and find it left on the doormat! We did get what we paid for delivery back though

Hope everyone has a lovely day! :D

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

My dentist was lovely Kaylz and used the bubble gum tasting gel to numb the area first then inject. She was an angel
 
Morning all. 7.3 for me after 2.4 last night after tea. Recovered but
wiped out and dozed in chair for a wee while then early to bed. Slept on and off for 7 hours, and feel ok this morning.mindfulness course this morning then back to work

my dentist is fab too to be honest, most dentists I've had over the years have left the practice to specialise etc but my current dentist has been there over 10 years now, its more the fear of having more twisted roots as I remember the agony from the last one, that bad he asked if I wanted him to stop and we could try again some other time, I have quite a high pain threshold but that was sore lol, ah well once they are out they cant cause problems so just gotta think that way and should be fine, just wish I didn't have to wait until 22nd July to have it all over with :( xx
 
5.3 for me today, still feeling rubbish with this cold, but hey ho it is exactly that a cold and will be gone in a couple of days hopefully, although thought I had got rid of it once, but it appears to have come back worse.

Morning all, for the first time I tested before getting up, for the first time I am in the 5s at 5.4. Tested a lot yesterday and all good, my strawberries raspberries and cream even made by bg go down, 6.4 two hours after tea and then had my berries, 1 hr later 4.9 so am very pleased with that. Have been doing my physio each day and getting back on the running machine, no running but a very brisk walk. Have still managed to keep my weight steady so all in all am feeling positive.
Beautiful day on the south coast today with a lovely breeze. Meeting my friend who is over from Australia tomorrow for a walk along the prom and am so looking forward to it. Have a great day all x

HAHA omg I didn't even think, I like UPS, I managed to sort something out for my partners concert tickets arriving the other week as my dad works for them so he spoke to the driver in my area and had him put the tickets through the letterbox as OH was at work 🙂 xx
 
Morning all, lovely and sunny here, start of heatwave but I hope it's not like the killer one in Europe.

I will have no excuse not to get into the garden.

Morning all on this glorious sunny morning, at last! A 6.9 today but it’s all my own fault so can’t blame the DF. A day spent in the garden me thinks, not gardening, far too hot, but testing out our new sun loungers. Have a good one. 🙂
 
08:58 BS 6.1. 🙂 Yay! That’s more like it! You CAN probably tell I’m more my usual sunny on the inside self today! 🙂:D😛 Oh! Just stuck on a loquacious warning for the rest! 😱:D😳

I did not enjoy yesterday’s physio examinations, at the time, as he said he couldn’t see the results of the examinations the orthopaedics guy did & HAD to repeat them & he also did some new ones, which were only shoulder related, & had to see, & feel, my reactions to them! 🙄 doesn’t QUITE warrant a frown! So, away we went doing all sorts again with a few extras thrown in! 😱🙄

I was shocked by how much the lack of feeling, compared to the other side, the right side of my body has progressed to now: he was really hammering hard on my right arm before I felt the pressure; REALLY odd to only hear the hammer on my bones & not feel it! 😱 Then, he REALLY hammered it, as I said, & I only felt some pressure THEN but, still didn’t really feel it: felt everything, heard it, felt it & felt the pressure on my left side! I’ve known from the start that disparity between the 2 sides but, it’s gotten a LOT worse without me noticing! 😱🙄

WELL, after that he agreed & said it’s not diabetic neuropathy as the orthopaedics guy said! 🙄 Then he gave me some neck exercises to do, completely different from others I’ve done, that were MUCH more gentle: 1 set of 10-15 3 times a day; morning, afternoon & evening. And come back next Wednesday at 1pm again for assessment. 😱🙄

I went home feeling AWFUL when my symptoms had only just begun calming down that morning but, strangely my nerves settled down by that night & I cautiously did 1 set of 10 exercises before going to bed last night! I felt better after doing them & slept better & longer this morning! 😛:D

Oh! I DID manage to quality for the golf tournament, at last, & will be playing the opening round, slowly this time, today & tomorrow & see if I can make it to the final round at the weekend this time? :D😛🙄

So, a much later than usual, for me, & even later by the time I type & post this VERY long post: VERY Good Morning to you on on this bright sunny morning; lovely change! :D Have a Super Wonderful Day everyone!😉

One set of exercises coming up then, breakfast & then some golf! 🙄 Wish me luck for the golf! 😉

Phew! I HAVE finally finished talking! :D😳

It sounds like you have made some progress with the physio, but a shame that he had to repeat the tests that had already been done! 😱 Good to hear that things settled and you have a new set of 'do-able' exercises 🙂 And well done for qualifying! 🙂
 
6.4 for me today, so I am fasting till lunchtime .... apart from a coffee with cream and a very small chunk of cheese. Have also been out for another run to see if I can lower the second reading of the day which was 6.8 but sadly it didn't and I am still on a steady 6.8. Not complaining though..... the run will no doubt be doing me good in other ways and my BG testing is just motivating me to get out and do it. Off to do battle with a swarm of bees that have been sitting in my hedge for the past 3 days refusing to be caught. I'm pretty good at catching swarms but this one is being particularly difficult. Maybe it knows that I haven't finished building it's new home yet, but the table saw is out so I am making progress with that at least!
