Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.2 this morning with a nice level night.

I hope your appointment is successful @SueEK .
Glad you enjoyed Versailles @eggyg
Happy anniversary @Kaylz.

A lazier day today as hip and knee complaining about a busy day yesterday.
Time to finish my book.
 
Morning all.
4.9 today 0.2 up on last few day but I guess still a good figure 🙂
All readings are ‘ish’ so being up a tiny bit on yesterday is no worry.
Did you get the pack of gold stars that you deserve.

Its not a good figure It’s a great figure! 🙂
 
5.7 this morning.
Have a great weekend everyone. 🙂
 
Well hello WL. How lovely to see you back amongst the fold. Hope you’re well. X
Bonjour. That's nice of you @eggyg, thank you. I'm easing my way back slowly. I'm fair to middling as they say, much going on with my health atm but trying to remain positive.
Hope you & Mr eggyg are well and enjoying your French holiday.
Take care
WL xx

Morning all and 6.8 for me. Overnight levels indicate that a basal change may be required. A shame that my sensor is about to expire and I haven't got another.

Have a good day everyone.
Have you tried to get them on prescription? 🙂 I've found they are absolutely cost-effective for me, particularly since they are much more accurate this time around (from when I was using them last year). I've used about 1 box of test strips in the past 3 months, and a lot of those were from when I had dodgy sensors and didn't trust the scans, or to check a new sensor was starting off accurately.

I've got my review in October so I'll be asking then.
 
Good morning 7.6 on a cloudy but warm day, 23.C.🙂 Just a bit of shopping today so not up to much, I usually spend the afternoon with friends at a local club but not today.:( Having said that just had a text, being picked up at 13:00 for a sea food festival over in Brixham.🙂

Stay well and safe @SueEK, thinking of you. {{{HUGS}}}xxx

Happy anniversary @Kaylz and snotty nose Bruce,:D lovely necklace Kaylz.🙂

Still haven`t heard from @Lanny or @HOBIE.:(

Have a good day folks.🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke up on 7.2, after an odd up and down line overnight. All within range, mind. Must have been lying on the sensor.🙄 That 7.2 includes DP.

No home game today. Shame, it’s a lovely day. Totally wrong for September, which TV weather presenters don’t mention. Wonder why not? Anyway, Rovers are away at Reading. I’ll get score updates on my watch. That happens at home games as well, which is a bit superfluous. Dumb technology :D

Nothing to do, nowhere to go, so it’s reading papers on the balcony today, and drinking no sugar IrnBru tokerp the caffeine levels up to functioning level. Tomorrow it’s off to the cinema to sit through 165 minutes of IT Part 2. Better have a reduced fluid intake:D

Have a good day folks, batten down the hatches if you live in the South West.🙂
 
@KARNAK it is isn't it! Even though we aren't married a ten year wedding anniversary is Tin so that's what the heart is made from by a place in Cornwall! 🙂

I messaged Lanny about a week ago but haven't had a response, I don't have a contact number but have her address so may do a bit of digging see if I can get anything or try sending a letter

Afternoon all, 4.1 this morning, a bit behind with my posting, came back from Wales yesterday afternoon, where I've been beach riding and walking (and visiting pubs) with daughter, and got up at the crack this morning to go to watch the cross country phase of the Blenheim horse trials.

Hi kaylz Tin is a popular metal from Cornwall, sadly a lot of the tin mines have closed due too cost . Treasure what you have, hope it stay`s as glorious as it looks.🙂
 
Morning Folks,

Reporting a reading of 7.7 this morning

Off to golf club for a coffee then a lads knock
 
Bonjour mes amis. A disappointing 7.4 considering or possibly why, I didn’t have any carbs from 3 o’clock yesterday. We’re now in Limoges. We stopped off in Orléans for lunch on the way, and found a festival was on, fantastic atmosphere and great weather. Forecast is heavy rain today but it seems quite fitting as we’re visiting Oradour sur Glane. Google it, very sad story. Then we will go into the centre of Limoges, it’s famous for its pottery, and have a mooch about. Hope you all have a sunny Sunday, unlike us. 🙂
 
Good morning! 🙂

I’ve been having issues with my Accu-Chek Aviva Expert meter where it becomes temperamental and won’t switch on sometimes so I shot them an email last Thursday where they offered to replace the meter and I send the faulty one back, received the return stuff for the faulty meter on Friday but only got the new meter yesterday so old one “decontaminated” and popped in the bag with the declaration form and ready to be posted tomorrow, anyways not having any control solution in to check the accuracy of the new meter I thought I’d do a comparison with the faulty one, 0.4mmol out so very close indeed but more interesting that a Libre scan also matched the new meter test spot on! Yes not ideal readings but this was after my dinner lol, I can’t even get the meter registered and the warranty activated as unavailable to do on their website just now and the warranty card wasn’t in the box! I’ll send another email tomorrow as I’ve also lost my voice so talking on the phone isn’t an option either lol

Anyways 6.9 for me on this dull looking day, Bruce has promised me a back massage later as my back is so sore, suppose it happens when you don't have a proper bed 🙄

Have a lovely day folks! 🙂
