Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 9.1 on another glorious day, 25.C at the moment.🙂 No washout here yesterday so the carnival had a great day, it will be the same today. Anyway its all very well keeping my BGL`s high but it affects my feet tremendously, more pain, pins & needles, electric shocks.😡 Hey Ho whose complaining.🙄

@khskel fraid you won`t be able to buy 5mml of gear box oil from halfords. your best bet is take a clean container that can be sealed, to the garage that repairs/services your car and ask them if they can sell you some. Normal gear oil only 75/80w grade, most gear oils these days are synthetic, hope you can stand the smell.🙂:D

Take care folks, have a good day.🙂
 
Morning all, just.

Got up to what I thought was a hypi, I was staggering, head swimming and I was sweating.

Could not believe it, washed my hands again, retested a couple of times.

5.4

So why do I feel as though I am in full hypo mode? Weird!
 
Late checking in but a pleasant 6.2 this morning. So far so good this week. I’ve been within my target range except once where I went up to 8.4. Being strict is paying off. I need to keep it in that range if I want this pregnancy to end well. I have a feeling I will end up on a low dose on insulin for the duration though as a precaution.
 
Morning all and a 5.4 for me.

Still stotting it down here. I suspect the Aire valley flood plains will be doing their job this morning.

Weird day yesterday. Somehow managed to forget my lunchtime Novo and went up to 9.9 later in the afternoon but still managed to be back to normal about 6 hours after eating without any correction. I sometimes think there's a bit of life in the pancreas yet.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, had a great weekend camping at our friends place for the annual charity car show. Was at 8.9 this morning.
 
Good morning 🙂

Hopefully Bruce's book will be dispatched this week and my purse should be dispatched today then I'll lay off the buying this month, get a few more bits and bobs ordered in a while, think Bruce will be getting a couple of Lewis Hamilton dvd's

Dull but still very warm here

Hope you all have a lovely day! :D
xx
 
06:56 BS 6.0. Happy with that. 🙂 Well, I got my partial wish granted: it was cooler last night despite no good honest downpour; cloud cover cleared instead but, same result. 🙂

Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Now then, a too much info warning for those of a sensitive disposition, especially early in the morning before breakfast. Don’t read below ************ NOT kidding! Don’t read it if you’d rather not!

********************************************
I made a REALLY bad mistake the other night without realising how bad it is at the time. The skin under the arms is quite delicate & my left armpit’s skin is even more so because of the injury: doses't get as much air, breathing space, because I still can’t lift it very high; a teeny bit higher, with physio, than 180 degrees, about 195 the physiotherapist said the last time before discharge. The night before last, the really sweaty night, I was constantly wiping the sweat away from below my left armpit & didn’t realise how hard I was rubbing. I rubbed away the top layer of skin in a huge area about the size of my fist. Didn’t feel it at first & only realised when it started to sting yesterday morning. Could barely lift my arm to see in the mirror but, it was a very angry red, raw like sunburn patch. Slathered the whole area in a thick layer of Sudocrem & that eased the sting. Blood sugars were a bit higher than usual yesterday & needed a bit more insulin. Also, a bit sleepier too so, didn’t fight it & slept a lot yesterday. The sleeping helped the healing process & the cream did its part too. This morning there’s still a slight sting but, the skin has toned down from angry red to a dark brown, also like a recovering sunburn. I’ll continue to keep slathering on the cream & keep a close eye on it & see GP if there’s any sign of possible infection as it’s a huge patch! 😱😳 What a stupid mistake to make! :(
 
@Lanny I hope your armpit feels better soon! Bruce is a mess just now, his hands, wrists and feet are all covered in a rash and bleeding where he's been scratching at them because of the heat and sweat but not much he can do as has to wear thick socks and work boots and gloves at his work xx
 
Thanks @Lanny and @Robin maybe the key to this house special is also testing at a time with a 52 included? lol xx
 
Morning all, and like a few of you today, I’m puzzled as to my high 8.6. Another correction with breakfast or I’ll be chasing my tail all day. Damp and dull today. We’ve got the grandkids for a few hours today so my blood pressure will be high too! Better go and do a “big” shop as there’s no filling them at the moment. Have a happy Monday whatever your plans are. 🙂

Just got official golf result & medal. -20 for 18 holes & finished in near the bottom in 103rd. place: with ties, 116 players in my group made the final weekend round. It was the hardest tournament I’ve been in yet & the winner scored -29! 😱 Still, I’m happy I made the final! 🙂
