Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. I’ve got into the sixes today. 6.9. Wet again here too, so as we haven’t any plans or funerals or grandchildren, I might get some blanching of peas and beans done. We’ve a glut of them. Think I’d better run the Dyson around as well, the housework does tend to get neglected when the weather is good. Have a wicked Wednesday. 🙂
 
Good morning all 🙂 a rather pleasing 5.2 today.

My new pump arrived at 6.45 pm thank you Medtronic for amazing customer service, took me a while to set it up, link meters/ transmitter etc but can’t argue with a House Special!

Have a stable bg day if you can 🙂
 
Good morning all. 6.2 here. Levels seem to be quite stable at the moment which I am pleased with.
 
Good morning all 🙂

I went to bed on 6.1, and got my nice straight line gently sinking to 4.1, which is ideal - I get to eat a dark chocolate digestive with my Americano. Start the day the McVities way:D

I’ve started my blood pressure tablets, just taking one before bed. Waking BP was 118/78, which is ridiculous. I’ll have to be careful standing up. I was always taught that as you get older, the systolic tends to be higher because as your arteries stiffen up, the systolic gets a bit higher to pump blood to your brain. Oh well, I suppose I’m out of date. Pragmatism doesn’t get a look in, these days.🙄

Found out what that accident was that I told you about. Not boy racers, it was a head on collision between two Hyundais. Must be a continuation of the Korean War. Of course, being Hyundais the three injured are in their 50s, and currently being pieced together in Preston with multiple injuries, so happily not dead. Not yet, at least. And being Hyundais, they won’t be local, for sure. We do have some standards in the Ribble Valley.😎

The weather is improving, so the Test Match tomorrow should be fine, and no rain is predicted for Saturday, first game of the football season. Blackburn are playing Charlton. Charlton fans are like Rovers fans, living lives of cheerful disappointment and quiet despair.:D

Have a good day, folks, it’s Wednesday so time to start winding down for the weekend🙂
 
Good morning 7.2 on a grey but warm day.🙂 Missed yesterday, as I was reporting got a phone call from a mate, he was upset as just had a bone scan, DX with osteoarthritis.:( So I immediately went to the hospital to give him support, after an MRI scan a few weeks ago turns out he has two collapsed vertebrae, hence the bone scan.

Congratulations on the HS @Flower.🙂

Have a good Wednesday folks, take care.🙂

Been trying to raise my waking levels but tried too hard - 8.4 this morning - much too high - back to the drawing board!

I'd agree with @Benny G, Michael, it might be a little bit higher than you would like but you have to contrast the danger afforded by being only slightly elevated from ideal waking numbers, which is miniscule, with the the very real dangers of waking in the low 2s or worse - remember that severe hypos directly affect the brain as it is starved of energy, but being 8.4 is something that happens to everyone, diabetic or not, several times a day (I went up to 9.9 after my slice of breakfast toast) with no impact. I'd suggest sticking with what you are doing now, at least for a while 🙂

I know, I'm nagging again, but just trying to convince you of the relative issues! 🙂

Well phoned up Abbott at 8 on the dot and got straight through! 12 minutes 30 seconds on the phone, was asked to provide:
3 examples of inaccurate readings
phone model (as that's what I use most of the time)
phone OS version
full app version
serial number of sensor
Woman was very friendly and helpful and replacement should be here within 3 days, a very positive experience with Abbott customer service 🙂

8.9 for me this morning.
 
06:01 BS 5.2. Wow! Only my 4th HS: still rare enough for me to remember each one!:D😱😛

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

Too much info warning! Below the *******

**************************************************
Also, can now start stocking up on toilet paper! Could probably do it before but, didn’t think to try, I CAN now, with a bit of judicious back bending, clean up my number twos! :D No more basins of water after each trip to the little girl’s room! 😛😉
 
Morning all. Another pleasant 6.3 this morning. I was expecting it to be a little higher this morning as I had a quorn chilli with some rice for tea last night and it sent me up to 9.0 on my meter from 5.4! I usually only have two spoonfuls of rice these days if I have it at all but went a little crazy on portions I think.
 
Morning Folks happy to report a 7.1 this morning another small step to sub 7.

Thought it would be much higher as my stress levels are sky high and very little sleep last night - a 3.40 am reading showed 9.9 so I was expecting a much higher morning read.

Got to go to the place that is stressing me out now - work ☹️
