Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all 🙂, it's a 4.9 this morning
 
Morning from a chilly Bruges, but at least it’s not going to rain. A not too exciting 6.9 although I haven’t eaten since 2.30pm yesterday, apart from a cookie at 5ish to alleviate the boredom of being stuck in traffic. Our last full day of the Grand Tour 2019. Sightseeing around the city, we are lucky enough to be staying in the historical centre. We had a wander about last night and it looked gorgeous even in the dark. If I don’t report in tomorrow please don’t worry, early start to get to Calais for the 11.35am ferry. Hopefully back home about 9/10pm. It’s a long way from Dover up to Cumbria. Have a great day all and @KARNAK be careful! And @mikeyB hope accidents were prevented. If Creon were a drug I would have been doped up to the eyeballs the entire holiday. Been taking up to 150,000 a meal! It’s worked though, no accidents! And on that note.....:D
 
Morning all and 4.1 for me . New sensor not happy overnight. Red all the way except for a break in readings about 3am. A finger prick test showed a respectable 5.5. It's a phone call to Abbott if it doesn't buck it's ideas up.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning 🙂

Well got 420ml e-liquid mixed yesterday, back is sore from leaning forward doing it though and also because of the restless night, slowly and nicely drifting off about 10:45 last night when the downstairs neighbours decided to kick off shouting in their own language along with swearing, banging the house door and the closey door off the wall and that started the wee dog they are looking after off, I am not a happy bunny today!

Bruce's birthday and dad's Christmas stuff arrived yesterday

Anyways 7.5 for me :(

Have a nice day folks
xx

Yes, my side of the block is an absolute nightmare but council don't do anything about it when we report it, housing woman always wants us to compromise (security doors there for a reason and when it was all Scottish folk letters would be sent out saying they were required to be shut at ALL times, but now the eastern Europeans are here and want them left open that's fine even though its the middle of October and damn cold) also blocking the closey with prams and bikes and my father in law warned them about that but they still do it (he's head fireman and there was an incident in a house) xx
 
Good morning folks. I hope all is well with everyone. My Libre had a long game of wriggly worms last night with a very brief dip into the red.
Woke to 8.0 on the finger.
 
Good morning 6.7 on a showery day, laundry in the dryer just the kitchen needs sorting now.🙂 Birthday party today for a friend being held in my local members club, spent 1.5 hrs in my bank yesterday someone from Lithuania tried to access one of my accounts but the bank jumped on it. I changed all my bank passwords and opened a new account at the recommendation of their fraud team, great fun isn`t it.😡

Congratulations on HS @Michael12420.🙂

How`s your dad @Grannylorraine are you back to normality.?

Give `em hell @Kaylz don`t put up with it.😡

Take care folks,have good day.🙂

I'd love to but council would give us in to trouble for it, us Scots are the minority down here now with my street now known as Little Poland and what they want they get, cops don't even do anything about them, there was a Scot peed up against the wall on the brae after 1am when the pub shut and a woman reported him (you couldn't see anything though) and he got fined yet a Polish guy actually went in the woman's gate and done it and the police actually said to her well what do you expect us to do about it! I have nothing against them but I don't think they should be getting privileged treatment, Bruce was on the housing list ages to get a flat cause they were all coming over at the time, yet up here if you make yourself homeless you start at the bottom of the list, they made themselves homeless by coming over here and were made a priority and put to the top of the list, that isn't fair in any way xx
 
Good afternoon everyone🙂

Bit late reporting today, had a few things to do before settling into the day.🙄

Woke up on 5.1 after a nice straight line overnight. Not a house special, but might as well be. Do house special nights count?:D Had a custard cream before bed to see if I could stop the old Levemir washing line dip in the night. Any excuse. Don’t worry, I am aware of confirmation bias.😎

@Kaylz mentions peeing in public. There’s no specific offence in Scotland for doing that, as long as you make every effort not to be seen, same as in England. If you close all the public toilets, it’s needs must. There’s many a wynd been watered when I was a student in St Andrews - it was a long walk from the pub to get home:D Anyway, the offence is against public decency. Which is odd, as dogs and horses get away with it. Go figure:D

I may well disappear for a week or two, so don’t worry about me. Real life stuff will be taking up time and attention.

Have a good day, folks, or at least as good as you can. Always aim high🙂
 
G'day all. 6.6 @ 3.39am, 7.9 @ 10.12am after a solid sleep and lie in, a change as I'm usually up very early, then breakfast inc one small whole onion @ half ten / elevenish, then 8.3 @ 1.49pm is this too steep a rise, should I eschew onions or as much onion? Step away from the onion? I never gave onions a thought but I was surprised to learn in the onion thread that they are completely sucrose?
 
5.6 mmol this morning 🙂 - I have my HbA1c test beginning of Nov so sure do hope that has come down too from the last test.

@Kaylz its not on when all people are not treated equally, I think a lot of UK natives are disgruntled about it.

Have a great day everyone (I'm late I know) :D its like April here, sunshine and showers, but tis more like damp autumn with it. o_O

I'll be having black eyes tomorrow, got my annual eye screening.

@Ditto I don't think that's too high a rise Ditto, amazing onions sucrose !! I think it depends what article you read, I saw one that said red onion is good for blood glucose, but maybe it depends if raw or cooked.

@Ditto seen as the test previous to eating was a bit before eating your level before eating could've risen by the time you ate (if that makes sense) but a 7.9 to an 8.3 could mean no rise at all, each meter has margins of error I think 15% is the acceptable range so 0.4mmol of a rise wouldn't even be classed as a rise due to the discrepancies in meters, besides 100g onion only has around 8g carbs and I couldn't eat 100g onion, even 25g chopped up into things is enough for me but I prefer leeks or spring onions anyway xx
 
I'm gonna carry on then, thanks Kaylz. 🙂 I luvs onions and garlic, eat tons and a cooked tomato with two eggs daily. Feel good on that till tea at 5.
