Group 7-day waking average?

Hi all, was at 8.4 this morning. It's our friends charity car show this weekend. Should be a good weekend.
 
13:44 BS 6.0. 🙂 Pretty happy with that despite sleeping past Midday alarm: still SO tired & didn’t react quickly enough to get up; so, slipped off to sleep again. Sleeping pattern and obviously still off & meds, including Levemir is also a little off but, at least taken now roughly 12 hours apart as they should be. 🙄

Yesterday I spoke too soon about the weather not being hot. Siri said a comfortable 18c but, by the time I was leaving the house it was actually 28c. The new trains are very snazzy but, the new streamlined windows don’t open at all & 1 of the carriages’ air con. stopped working & thank goodness from sheer luck it wasn’t the one I got into: heard it on the tannoy & saw those poor people getting out for air at each station stop: packed train, still a lot of visitors from The Open that stayed, heat must have been unbearable. Conductors were rushing up & down the train in a mad frenzy trying to get the air con fixed instead of getting tickets from passengers. A lot of the little stations, including mine, aren’t manned anymore & people buy their tickets on the train. The unmanned stations have automated train info & announcements with live train info but, no inspector after a certain time, 3pm at mine, 5pm at Antrim. Just got the air con fixed before Antrim so, just bought ticket from conductor before leaving the train. Then took mini bus to hospital. 😱

Got there an hour early for app. Annoyingly next train would be 15 mins. too late. Checked in & 10 minutes later was in: always worth checking in no matter how early; they’ll fit you in if they can because you’re there. If you’ve ever had an MRI you’ll know how extremely claustrophobic it is & I don’t suffer from it. The noise is extremely irritating too despite ear plugs & a headphone for noise protection. This was the 2nd one I’ve had & dealt with this one a lot better by simply closing my eyes. First one my eyes were open & I could barely keep still enough, operator kept telling me to lie still, as the air con was so dry it made me cough so, kept my mouth closed, despite feeling a teeny bit of panic, & breathed through my nose: so many times I tend to forget to do that when under stress! 😱🙄:confused:o_O Felt like a VERY long 10 minutes & was also disoriented getting up afterwards: it’s the noise that disturbed my balance for a bit afterwards. But, eventually out slightly earlier than my app. time. Just had time to buy a sandwich to eat on train, before getting back to the train station, already unmanned when I arrived earlier at 17:14 so, knew nothing there. Smooth journey back & home just before 9pm. Conked out until about 01:20 when I got up had midnight Levemir & ate breakfast. Went back to sleep about 5am. Slowly & steadily getting sleeping pattern back. 🙄

A VERY late Good Afternoon to you all & continue to have a Wonderful Day! 😉 There, siri, not SO predictable today! :D🙄
 
Good morning 🙂 6.1 for me today, although I was 2.8 according to the Libre when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the loo 😱 I didn't believe it, had no symptoms and couldn't be bothered to check with a blood test since I don't use basal insulin. I think it may have been due to lying on the sensor, I always 'change sides' several times during the night 🙄

Wet and gloomy this morning, and a bit cooler. Hope we're done with the rain for the day as it's the Harrogate Festival today! 🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 A 12.1 for me - don't need a bedtime snack tonite then. 🙄

It's cold 😱 and wet 😱 here today. Perfect for meeting a group of friends for lunch and catching up on ev1's gossip. 😛
 
Slightly cooler night, woke to 8.6 which was expected, ate late as out for a family meal at a nice Indian restaurant, was 5.9 before bed and set a tbr to deal with the late rise, without it bg would have been much higher. All have a great day.
 
6.3 for me.
Cool and clear here ATM - hope it stays like that for a while.
Have fun everyone!
 
Good morning 🙂

Rained all evening, through the night and still drizzling on and off, very dull but it hasn't cooled down any :( sat here in shorts and a vest with a banging headache and a cat that wont settle :(

5.9 for me this morning

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
Morning from a VERY wet Cumbria. Back in the sixes...just! 6.9. Nothing more exciting than a trip to the hairdressers for me today. But that’s preferable than going to our local music festival, Kendal Calling, Glastonbury’s premature baby sister, that started yesterday. They are going to be very muddy! I couldn’t think of anything worse than standing in a clarty field listening to mediocre bands/singers and then going back to a tent to have a Pot Noodle! And paying hundreds of pounds for the privilege. Ah well it’s a good job we’re all different. Have a splendid Saturday and if you are off to Kendal Calling, give me a shout and I’ll pop over with some wellies, wet wipes and another supply of dried pot meals! :D
 
8.2 this morning after a 10.2 last night. Since stopping the gliclazide my rolling average has gone up steadily and is still rising. Maybe that was not such a good idea.
 
Oh what a night. Felt like boiled in oil. Rained a lot and still raining. Elixir for weeds . 9.1 for me this morning.
 
I am another on 6.1 this morning, but experimented with a crust roll last night, which put me up less than 2 after 2 hrs but maybe caused a bit of a delayed reaction, was trying to see what I could take for picnic while we are in Norfolk that are easy to put together as everyone else will have sandwiches or rolls, and didn't want the faff of making salads, also caravan have a small fridge for food for 8 people.

Lost 3lb this week, but that is probably due to being too hot to want to eat, that takes me to 2 stone lost and hitting my target for my Norfolk holiday, and takes me into a lower stone. Only 1 more stone to lose to be in a normal weight range.

Not sure how much I will be reporting in over the next week while in Norfolk,

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Hope you have a lovely time in Norfolk! Try not to worry unduly about the odd spike whilst you are away (although if you are anything like me you will by now be gravitating always towards the most suitable options rather than going mad! 🙂 ) Well done on your weight loss, you are achieving it in the best way possible - lots of exercise and healthy eating! 🙂
