Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks🙂

I woke on 5.7 this morning, which is about as boring as you can get. I like boring, I can’t be doing with exciting these days.:D

Lovely cloudless sunny day here in the Red Rose county, and should be fine for the opening day of the Rovers season tomorrow. Rovers have signed a defender on loan from Man City - goes by the name of Abdul-nasir Oluwatosin Oluwadoyinsolami Adarabioyo. Must have taken him hours to sign the contract.🙄

Speaking of football, ever since I started earning money (in pre Lottery days) I’ve been playing the same numbers on the football pools paying by direct debit. Had a win last week, £189. No begging letters, please. As my great gran used to say, “them has has, gets”. That was when MacMillan was Prime Minister, never mind BoJo. Nothing ever changes.:D

Anyway, must leave. Got to get my Tesco order in, freezer is looking a bit empty.:confused:

Have a good day, people, don’t worry, be happy 🙂
 
7.2 this morning. Steady sevens without the gliclazide, it was steady fives with it.

Hey mikeyB - how does your man get his name on the back of his shirt?
 
Stupid gastroparesis. 12.7 when I woke up four hours ago. I doubled my correction and it is only down to 9.7. Stomach feels awful because of the gastroparesis despite it being 15 hours since I last ate. The gastroparesis has really dragged me down today. If I eat anything st the moment it will only make it worse.

2.5 hours!!! I was in and out seeing various professionals. Been poked, prodded and stabbed. I’m now also officially an insulin user (for the duration of pregnancy anyway)

It’s a very low dose at the moment. Just 4 units per day to be objected at bedtime to keep those morning levels lower. How quickly will I see the effect?

The pen is like a bloody thermostat!
 
Morning early birds, 5.9 this morning after a loooong day of shopping yesterday at Cheshire Oaks. I just had to have a new bag of course but I also polished off a good few Christmas presents, which makes me feel nicely smug. It did require a 7:30 am start though and I didn’t arrive back at the homestead until 11:30pm so I might need a nap this afternoon :D Only one shopping related injury though so I did well, I may never move my thumb again but who needs 2 thumbs, let this be a lesson to everyone Pret may serve delicious food and coffee but their chairs are a death trap 🙄
 
05:36 BS 6.0 🙂 Consistent: same as yesterday!

An early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 The rest is loquacious moaning! You’ve been warned & don’t need to read: I’ll never know! 😱:D

Oh dear, I’m very worried that my fridge freezer is about to pack it in just when I ordered more insulin too: better leave it at the chemist & only pick it up when I’m certain if/when I need to get a new one! 😱🙄 I’ve moved my insulin from the door shelf down to the bottom drawers, coldest part of the fridge, to keep it cold. The temp had been slowly rising & the alarm has kept going off, have a thermometer in there for taking temperature & it’s been rising & falling between 1C where I always set it as I like a cold fridge, & up to 6C. Now for those not in the catering business, therefore may not know, the temperature of fridges should never be above 5C optimum being 1 to 4c & freezers never above -18c. Inspectors, when they come surprisingly check the daily logs of temps that need to be taken every day! I’m not buying anything frozen at the moment as the freezer is even worse. Things that are supposed to be frozen solid are semi soft as it’s not cold enough! 😱 I’m trying to eat as much stuff from the freezer as possible as I think it’s a matter of time, how much, before the fridge freezer packs it in! :( Oh! Just remembered Monday night is a Bank Holiday so, the health centre won’t even get my request until Tuesday so, the insulin can wait! Need to make sure it’s going into a properly cold fridge first!😱
 
Morning you Saturday slackers! Can’t believe I’m first on. Been awake since 4.30. Up at 5.30. Drumroll please, 5.6, two days on the trot in the fives! Just when I decide to try the Libre again to see what’s going on this happens! Just waiting for my bolus to kick in so I can eat, starvin’ Marvin. Supposed to be a nice day up here and I’m spending it wandering around the town with daughter number 3, we are having lunch though. Have a great day all, when you all eventually get out of bed! 😉

Ah but only just eggy, you still managed a good clap of thunder :D I am also starving, and was just wondering if I can drag myself to the kitchen to whip up some Avo on toast. You need to fuel up for the shopping and lunch that’ll need a bit of extra oomph most definitely, hope you have a lovely lunch 🙂
