Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 7.1 not bad considering we all had fish & chips last night.🙂 Another grey day🙄 but not cold enough to stop wearing shorts,:D just unpacked my new Retro slow cooker had to move the kitchen around to accommodate but fit it does.🙂

Hope you enjoyed your brekkie @SueEK.🙂

Not much to add today so I`ll bid you all a good day, enjoy it and stay safe.🙂
 
Shorts?! Good grief. :D

Good morning all. 8.3 totally expected. What the heck are Bigos?

Oooops! Late on board the ferry!
Went to bed on a 6.1 after two digestive bikkies & cup of green jasmin tea ~ and woke to a 7.3. Won't grumble at that!

Enjoy your Sunday whatever you may be doing.
Take care folks

I’m wondering what Biggo’s are too
 
Good morning folks , yes I know it’s very early but I've already been up over an hour 02 48 to be precise 😱, I went to bed early for me and am paying the price lol
Woke up to 6.8 due to a slight low just before din dins , 3.8 so I decided to eat then bolus conservative after I had risen to a nice level, we’ll guess who forgot lol. I didn’t realise till I sat on the side of my bed , picked up my reader and thought oh sh** , however I was astounded to see no peaks just a gentle rise to my pre bed
6.8 🙂
Dinner was mashed potato (previously frozen) , 2 delicious sausages , a smidgen of baked beans and a pile of fried onions so quite carby
 
Morning all 6.3 for me.

For all those that asked Bigos is a polish stew. Main ingredients sauerkraut, kabanos, bacon, mushrooms and whatever you fancy. Very low carb and very tasty. I don't think there is a definitive recipe but I put tinned tomatoes in for colour and richness. Second helping tonight.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all a bit high 8.6. Putting it down to the excitement of its cold, wet, lateish November and I’m going away for 3 days and 2 long nights on a residential - can’t wait so excited more so than the kids I reckon. Think I’ve got all the diabetes kit..... medical ID bracelet, snacks, insulin, needles.... I know I have forgotten something will discover what when I need it!

Have a good day

Morning all 🙂 and today it's a score of... 4.5 :D
 
Morning all, 5.6 here, and just about managed to stay out of the red last night after another bolus reduction. I’ve gone down from 3 units at night to 1.5😱 though have kept the morning one to 4.5. I usually have to whack them up, not down, at this time of year, expect I'll spend the rest of the week doing just that!🙄

Morning all, woke to 10.9 on bitterly cold morning.

Strange how bg tells you your ill even before symptoms appear, fought double figures afternoon last night and woke to bad guts today, not sure if food related or caught bug or something.

I wrote a poem about this phenomenon 🙂 Do you remember Paul the Octopus, who could predict results in the 2010 World Cup? My meter is a far better guide to the future! :D

Who needs a psychic octopus,
The future to foretell?
A cold Cassandra cephalopod,
When I can do as well?

Who needs a mentalist mollusc,
Who crawls the ocean floor,
To tell us what the future holds,
When my meter tells me more?

For, blessed with diabetes
My predictive powers are strong,
And unlike squid or nautilus,
I’m very rarely wrong!

So when my levels start to climb,
But nothing else seems wrong,
Then be assured that I will be
Quite ill before too long!

Before this foul disease took hold,
I lacked this inbuilt sense,
Consulting eight-limbed oracles
For my fate a few days hence.

But now I plan to make me rich –
My meter holds the key!
And when I get the numbers right,
I’ll win the lottery! :D

I must admit I Googled it. Sounds tasty!
 
Morning all on this extremely cold and frosty morning. My outdoor thermometer is reading -10! Don’t think it’s that cold but close I would imagine. Been out already to defrost the bird baths! Anyways a nice, normal 6 today. Off out walking soon, thermal vests order of the day me thinks. It’ll be nice though, at least it’s dry and calm. Have a good day and stay warm. 🙂

Brrrrr!! It's minus 2 at the moment and all frosty white.
Just been out in my dressing gown to feed the stray moggie. 🙄
Only two words for it BRASS MONKEYS 😱

Pleased to say 4.8 on the dial.:D

Have a great day everyone.

5.6 for me today so an improvement, I know I really should complain about anything in the 5s, but I like it to be under 5.5, but I did have a couple of roast potatoes and one Yorkshire pudding with dinner last night. I figured as I had not eaten anything all day I deserved a treat.

As for temperatures I haven't stepped outside my house yet, not leaving for work for another hour, but my phone says it is 6, yes I really did look it up on my phone.

hoping we all have a good week.
 
Morning Folks

Late on parade reporting a reading of 8.8 for this morning
