Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 6.7 yesterday and 6.3 this morning. Only just got up, had lovely lie in, most unusual for me, I automatically wake up at 5.30 for work. Have 10 days off now, lovely, going down our caravan Saturday for a week for the end of season parties, owners breakfast and to shut it down for the winter. Lots of jobs to do today including food shopping, ironing, getting bag ready and some housework and then getting grandson from school so I had better get a move on.
Hope the appointment goes well @Flower , I also have noticed the sugar in meatballs @Grannylorraine, glad you are on the up, @merrymunky great to see the hospital are keeping a very close eye on you xx
Have a good day all x
 
I hope your appointment goes well @Flower and you manage not to bump into anything
 
Here’s a classic example of my nighttime pattern at its worst. I didn’t get my insulin in soon enough this morning, hence the high, because it hasn’t been rising so ferociously recently. A bit of consistency wouldn’t come amiss....

Consistency would be wonderful wouldn’t it.
 
Good afternoon 8.3 on a reet miserable day,🙄 laundry all done and dried and done some cooking for the freezer.🙂 One of the gang turned up with a pot of lamb stew which should last me a few days.😎🙂

Congratulations on another HS @Northerner lovely flat line.🙂

Good luck @Flower please take care. xx🙂

Good luck @nonethewiser with feet check.🙂

Have a good day folks make the best of it.🙂
 
Be careful there @Ditto, I dare not touch popcorn, because for some reason it really spikes me, as does anything with corn in it. Popcorn will put me into the high teens!
Really? Darn I never measured and I had tons of it! 😱

Never measured this morning neither, I'd had insomnia and it throws me out of my routine. I'm a creature of habit and I go to pieces if anything disrupts me. I'm not quite Sheldon, but not far off. 🙂
 
Good morning folks . 4.4 for me this morning, lower than I like, it seems I had skimmed into the red zone which woke my liver up.
My graph is much better now but I can see I still need to do some tweaking .
Oh we do have fun don’t we.

Hope you all have a good day.

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.7 for this morning

pick up new car tonight Fiat 500X always a sad day though when I see my old car go in part exchange - it’s been a good car for the last 5 years but the time to change has arrived.
 
Go on then, what's the Welsh for 'snot'? 😱 :D Hope you feel better soon! 🙂
Hahaha, great minds think alike, it’s the first thing I did yesterday morning - looked up snot in Welsh...hubby (first language Welsh-speaker) doesn’t know and online dictionary says ‘snot’. 🙄 Cough is ‘peswch’ (peh-sooch, ‘ch’ like in ‘loch’) - onomatopoeic, or what?😱😱😛

Morning all.🙂 4.8 here.:D

It’s the Welsh learner event of the Welsh learner academic year tonight - Ffrindiaith...it’s a bit like speed dating but you speak Welsh to the other person instead of trying to get off with them. It’s really popular. I wonder how many people’ll have my ‘peswch’ by the end of the evening (none, I hope!).🙂
 
Morning all on this non frosty morning! A splendiferous 5.5! Haven’t been in the fives since Adam was a lad. I upped my basal by one unit, evening and morning, about a week ago. Looks like it’s started to work at last. I hope! And it looks like Dawn has left the building, for the time being. Have a fab Friday. 🙂
 
4.9 for me this morning - bit lower than what has been going on lately but no problem. One hour after breakfast and its 11.0 and I am not feeling right. That is odd because I would expect a 7-8. Not seen double figures since May when some blueberries in my granola gave a spike. No blueberries this time. Be wary everybody, the diabetes fairy is at large.
 
Crikey! I've slept an incredible (for me at least) 9 hours 50 minutes. 😱
Probably haven't done that since I was in nappies. 😛
And a 6.2 for me.🙂
The outside weather station is recording -0 degC (must be a little bit colder than just 0) :confused:

Have a great day y'all

6.4 this morning, but just realised following on from the other thread about asthma inhalers, most nights I am having to use my ventolin at least once in the night, which usually I don't have to do, so that may account for the slightly higher waking numbers.
 
7.7 for me this morning, not impressed with all these 7s, I don’t even eat a great deal, ah well. Having new door fitted this morning they arrived at 7.40 when still in dressing gown and hair all over the place, not a pretty sight. Did all my jobs except shopping yesterday so have done that this morning, Need to get bags and food sorted for tomorrow and going to see my friend tonight who has recently been diagnosed with T2 although just in the 50s. She is in the ‘what on earth do you eat’ phase so hopefully can help her out a bit.
Have a lovely day and a great weekend whatever you may be doing x
