Group 7-day waking average?

Morning Folks,

Reporting a reading of 7.6 this morning

Wet and windy but the doggy needed his morning stroll. Wasn’t too bad out there but we both had winter coats on for the first time this coming winter
 
Morning all and today is 4.2 :D
Forgot yesterday, it was 4.5
 
Good morning 🙂

Congratulations on the HS @Northerner :D

I'm going to claim one too for 6:05 when I actually got up seen as they were spot on by breakfast time with a 5.9, was trying to upload pic but security error message keeps popping up :confused:

Scotland played an absolutely amazing game yesterday and also first game of the world cup where a teams won a game without the other team getting any points so well done to them :D

Dull and chilly here today, I've had a sore neck for a few days but an emergency defrost of the freezer with the hairdryer last night has also left me rather sore between the shoulders so think I'll try and relax today

Have a great day my lovelies! 🙂
xx
EDIT: Added pic now lol

Does mounds of pasta raise your BGs to 10.1? Asking for a friend! 😉 Hmm..... I’m actually hoping it is last night’s lobster spaghetti and not the start of an infection. I’ve been bitten by mosquitoes everyday for a week, inspite of Buzz Off and Avon Skin so Soft. Some look really yuk. Weepy etc. Putting on antiseptic cream and TRYING not to scratch. I’ve also upped my penicillin dose. So fingers crossed. Leaving Sanremo today and off to Tuscany for a whole week in the same bed! Going to pop into Portofino for a bit of hobnobbing with the rich folks. Have a great day, whatever that may be. This nomadic lifestyle has left me dateless! ( In more ways than one).:D
 
Good morning folks . 11.1 😱 😡 with 9.1 scan., had a lovely bekkus of 4 units of Novo as not hungry .
I thought I would use the insulin calculator for the dose, it suggested 10 units 😱😱😱. Off to fiddle with the Libre’s settings .

Hope you all have a good day .

Ooo the sun has made an appearance 🙂
 
Good morning with an added pinch & a punch 🙂 9.9 for me after a 3.0 at 3 am. 😡

Nice HS work @Northerner and @Kaylz 🙂

I reckon it's the pasta what done it @eggyg 😉 Hope your European adventure is proving to be fabulous - apart from manky mosquito bites!🙂
 
Good morning with an added pinch & a punch 🙂
Ooh, I forgot about all that business this morning, too late to mention the rabbits now! 😱 🙂 October always takes me by surprise, September is far too short! The worst thing is that it's my niece's birthday today and I forgot to post her card yesterday :(

Went out for a run this morning - a very soggy 6 miles 😱 There were a couple of points where the path was completely flooded, leaving me no choice but to run through after avoiding all the deep puddles for the previous 4 miles in vain 😱 I don't mind running in the rain, it's quite refreshing, and thankfully not windy 🙂 Very dark now until around 6:40, roll on Spring! 🙂
 
I forgot the rabbits too.
Correction factor on my Libre all sorted . A few weeks ago I was ill and needed much more insulin so set the correction factor to 1 unit for 0.5 carbs , it’s now back to its previous setting.
 
Very late up this morning, I am ashamed to say, anyway 5.4.

Going down to the surgery to raise merry hell. I phoned in my repeat script on Thursday, 8am (ish), pharmacy have to record, surgery have no record. What is the point of a phone in line. This is the 2nd time running this has happened, ggrrr....
 
Good morning mates🙂

I woke up on a curry fuelled 8.2. Stop eating curries? In your dreams:D

Also woke up with a seized up left leg. Still hasn’t straightened out completely, but I’m trying to resist using CBD oil because of the wobbles caused by relaxed muscles and brain. It’s good fun, this, every day is different🙂

Yesterday had a shower and my sensor just dropped off. Bit of a bummer, had a few days to go yet. Weighed up the gains and the losses, and phoned Abbot, who are sending a free replacement after the usual interrogation, name, rank and serial number routine.

I see BoJo is embroiled in a she said he said argument. One of these days, he’s going to admit something is true, and apologise, and a country will die of shock:D

He’s following something John Wayne said in a film. “Never apologise, and never explain. It’s a sign of weakness”. No prizes will be awarded if you can tell me the name of the film, because Google has killed the written quiz. Shame.🙄

Have a good day, folks, there’s no Yellow Warnings for rain, so get some fresh air. There may be some safe rain, so take an umbrella:D
 
I'm always watching John Wayne but still had to google! 🙂

7.1 @ 6.04am yesterday and 6.0 @ 10.36am this morning...couldn't get organised, a nightmare of food addiction and worry. Daughter goes for an angiogram this Friday. :( So much stress. Yesterday I ate a big donut with lurid acid green icing on top which tasted of turps. I still ate it. I don't even have a sweet tooth. What is that if not addiction? I will die sooner rather than later if I can't get a handle on it. Read Gillian McKeith all in one go last night but it just bamboozled me. There was some good advice in there, but smoothies and stuff wouldn't work for me.

What do you think about one luxury (from Iceland) ready meal a day and nothing else but water? I'm reading Michael Mosley Fast Diet again. All those mice lived much longer when they ate next to nothing. :D

Happy October all.

PS how do I change my name under my icon?

never explain wasn't part of the quote in the film
