Group 7-day waking average?

Good Morning team🙂

I woke up on 4.9 (I checked my BG, as the sensor, on its last legs, said 3.9). Lovely straight line overnight. Easy peasy this diabetes lark🙂

Mind you, I’m low carbing mostly at the moment, to lose weight. 5kg so far, so not exactly shedding weight like superstars such as @Drummer , but then I can’t do any exercise. It’s easier to cart myself around on elbow crutches the less I weigh.🙄

It was a lovely day yesterday, but today it’s dreich. That’s a Scottish word for cold, grey and drizzly, so saves typing. Oh, hang on...:D

Anyway, have a good day everyone. Day of rest, ready for a new week. SNP conference in Aberdeen starts tomorrow. That’ll be fun.🙂
 
Good morning 8.4 down to 3.4 1.5 hours later.🙄 Didn`t post yesterday typed it all out and son phoned from Grimsby at 11.15 just before I was going to press the post button, two hours later he`s still on the phone and screen saver had come on and when he got off the phone it was 13.30hrs. At least I got to speak with the grandchildren,🙂 although forgot to press that button.😳
Well its wet here on the not so sunny English Riviera temp.18.0 C so a taxi to Sunday lunch.😎

Congratulations Martin on HS and Hazel for yesterday.🙂

Enjoy your day folks I`m off to the club taxi ordered, take care.🙂

I agree with @KARNAK, @MikeyBikey 😱 Please use the 'Spoiler' option if posting, erm, spoilers! 😱 😉
 
Good morning 🙂 5.3 for me today 🙂 New sensor, and it appears to be behaving well, fingers crossed 🙂 I gave in after 36 hours of deprivation, they really are addictive, and it felt so odd having to fingerprick 😱
 
Good morning from the Black Forest, and it really is black even at nearly 7am. Snap @Northerner 5.3 for me too. Oh so close! Lowest I’ve been for many a month. Off waterfall climbing today and hopefully bump into some red and black squirrels, not red AND black squirrels but red squirrels and black squirrels. Apparently they are quite tame and you can buy peanuts and feed them. Excited! Triberg, the town we are staying in, is known as the “clock town”. There’s shops selling cuckoo clocks everywhere, it’s fascinating and very German. The pin made a good choice on the map. That’s basically, near enough, how we are choosing where to stay and visit. Have a Happy Monday. 🙂
 
5.0 this Monday morn. 🙂
I'm off shortly to my surgery on my annual bid to be the first person to get their flu jab this year.
Some chance - no matter how early I arrive there's always loads of my fellow senior citizens ahead of me! 😛

Are you allowed to take breaks while getting them on prescription? I didn't think you could seen as the patient commitment form I signed stated you must scan at least 6 times a day (although that amount seems to vary depending on area) xx
 
Morning all, 8.4 for me on this rather soggy Monday morning.
 
Another morning 🙂

It's a 5.1 today 😱, I know its no bad but higher than I want :(. The result of eating out and visiting parents, despite being good its hard to keep such good control of carbs.
 
Morning 🙂

6.1 for me, really misty outside but stopped raining at least, started lashing down last night and didn't stop for most of the night, makes an awful noise on the shed roofs so barely got any sleep :(

Bought my mum some Cocoa dusted truffles at Lidl yesterday for her Christmas, I used to get ones from Woolies every year and she absolutely loved them so fingers crossed she'll like these, apparently there are approximately 35 truffles in the box so cant grump at only paying £1.59 :D

Have a nice day
xx

I don't remember signing up to anything saying I couldn't. I don't think that would be appropriate anyway, there might be a number of reasons why you might wish to 'take a break' e.g. feeling obsessed or controlled and micro-managing, and wanting to put things in perspective etc. or perhaps if you are doing something/on medication that might interfere with the operation of the system 🙂 I had thought I might take a week off, but gave in, so maybe I am a bit obsessed! 😱

Bear in mind that food isn't the only factor in determining your blood sugar levels, your body has a whole system of maintaining a certain level of glucose in your blood in order to keep your heart, lungs, digestive system etc. fuelled when you are not eating (your liver releases variable amounts of glucose in order to achieve this). Also, there is essentially no difference between a fingerprick of 5.1 and one of 4.5, since there is variability in each drop of blood and variability in the accuracy of the testing strips/monitor 🙂 I remember years ago taking three tests from a single drop of blood and got three different results - all were within the degree of accuracy expected from the meter system I was using 🙂
 
Good morning folks . I haven’t opened the curtains yet but I have had my breakfast , I’ve got my priorities right lol.
Woke to 6.9 higher than I like it’s the infection and anti bs, hopefully normal service will be resumed soon.

Hope you all have a good day
