Group 7-day waking average?

Just picked up my post & my MRI is on Thursday 25th July. So, 1 month’s time! Quite late in the day though at 18:50: problematic for buses as last buses, here in NI are around 17:30 to about 18:00; can get down but, not back home again! I’ll have to call on my family! If any are here as they’re taking it in turns to go to HK to keep an eye on my dad now that mum’s not here anymore! 🙄
 
A bit odd today... Woke up on a 6.0, had my normal breakfast, nipped out to get papers (short drive into town and a 20 min walk) and came back feeling odd and a bit wobbly. Tested expecting to find that my normal 2 hrs post breakfast 8/9 had strayed into double figures, only to get a 4.9.

No idea why, so had a cup of tea and a biscuit. Seemed more sensible than worrying about it.
 
Good morning all🙂

Another beautiful day. Woke up with a rather stern LO this morning, which BG testing suggested was 2.5, so a couple of JBs brought that into human range. An odd slow decline starting around 4am. DF at work, methinks, no change in insulin doses, and a nice steady line around 6ish going to bed. Oh well, never mind, no panic.🙂

Got a residents meeting this afternoon. Loads of petty moans I don’t doubt, but the important thing for me is to check that my Sky feed has been fettled so I can get Sky Q. Cricket in Ultra HD.

I’ve just started to read Max Hastings’ account of the Korean War. There’s nobody better as a military historian, though his politics are far from mine. Interestingly, he used to be be the editor of the Daily Telegraph when BoJo was writing a column. In yesterday’s Guardian, he wrote an excoriating demolition of Boris’ character, saying he’s totally unfit to be Prime Minister. It’s well worth a look at Guardian online for a read, it’s worrying, for sure.

Anyway, I’d better go. It’s Sri Lanka v South Africa today up in lovely Durham. Difficult to call, South Africa are already out of the World Cup, so should be interesting. For a cricket fan, anyway, I don’t suppose anybody else cares.:D

Have a good day everyone, don’t forget your 20 minutes out in the sun to top up your Vit D🙂
 
Morning, sorry late on parade this morning, but the good new, a House Special of 5.2

Enjoy the sunshine, while we have it
 
Morning all, breezy but bright here in sunny Sale. 🙂

8.5 @ 5.58am why? Dunno. :(
 
Good morning 6.0 on a cloudy day with the sun trying to break through.🙂 The surfs up and plenty of holiday makers (Grockles) about, good for the bay.😎

Congratulations @Hazel on another HS.🙂

Don`t worry @Grannylorraine, still a good waking figure.🙂

Have a good day folks, take care.🙂
 
Congrats again @Hazel. An occasional HS is just luck, but your regular ability to hit the target is seriously impressive! Do you have a very rigid routine for evenings and bed time? Just wondering if I can learn something from you?

A little disappointing 8.1 today for me but I only took 2 units of NR last night as I had less carbs with my dinner ....belly pork and veg with just one Jersey Royal although I did have a tiny bit of apple sauce. I was 9.4 when I went to bed but I did eat very late, so I am guessing the combination of late food, lower dose and lack of sleep contributed. Down to 6.6 at the moment, so I'm much happier with that.
Boy is it hot outside!
 
Afternoon all 🙂 forgot to do mine before food this morning but before lunch I was at 5.1 mmol 🙂

Salad weather for next for days... enjoy everyone.
 
Feeling fine!!
It's 4.9!

Sadly yesterday's early morning euphoria was short-lived. Got an nasty 8.0 after brekkie.
"Merde!! C'est la vie d'un diabétique" as old Jean-Paul Wotsisname would say.

Gonna hit the ground running (well walking at a moderate pace) to take me new blueteeth headphones for a spin (before it gets too hot).

I'm an old Deezer geezer now (3month's free premium membership courtesy of FitBit).
It gives me access to a gazillion music tracks that an old hippie greybeard like me wouldn't listen to.
TINSTAAFL.

Let's just hope I don't get caught in public playing air guitar to Jimmy Page's Dazed and Confused.😛

Have a great Saturday everyone!!

Cue ..... Keep On Running by Spencer Davis Group😎

UPDATE 8:15am
Oh well the best laid plans of rodents and homo sapiens etc.
Just as I was about to set foot outside the front door, dazzling flash of lightning and huge thundery downpour followed. Leccy was off for 30 minutes or so. Now wasting my time getting all the smart lights and plugs back in sync and trying to stop several Amazon Echoes bellowing at full volume that they can’t connect to the internet.

D.😱

Up at the crack today, 5.45! Too hot to sleep, you would think I would be used with it after being menopausal for 10 years! TMI? Anyways, I digress, as usual, a Len Goodman today, SEVEN! My brief foray into the 5s didn’t last long. Supposed to be some cloud cover today so maybe a bit fresher and instead of just sitting on my backside in the garden I might actually move about a bit today. Have a stupendous Saturday everyone. 🙂
 
A surprising 5.4 this morning after a bbq at sons last evening eating typical bbq stuff and feeling guilty. Never mind another bbq tonight but this time at the Brighton diabetic Support Group so hopefully some better choices available.
So hot last night, @eggyg am soo with you on the hot menopausal comment.
Had a wonderful 3 hr walk with my friend along Hove seafront yesterday trying to catch up on news of the past year with my lovely friend from Australia, was so very happy to see her.
Had a text to say my referral to Diabetes team has gone through so probably a few months wait for that, hey ho I’ll just carry on doing what I do in the meantime.
Very hot already this morning, hope you all stay safe in this hot weather and enjoy it at the same time. Won’t be testing tomorrow as off to car boot again, yah!!
