Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning my dear my dear friends, Ted here in the flesh so to speak. 7.6 on the finger prick so a bit more under control. Thanks for looking after Baz he is here now and sends his best wishes to you all, thanks for all your support it has meant a great deal to me.🙂 Baz himself has been not well he's in remission from leukaemia his wife had an operation on a brain tumour, although both successful treatments they have had a tough time over the past couple of years. Tough cookies in our crowd we don't give up easily just like my friends on the forum,🙂 I lntend to be in Bristol on the 11th of January's meeting. I have to go now my friends I've been over an hour typing this and nurse says that's enough🙄🙄, so l'll say goodbye for now, love to you all. Xxx
 
I googled the best liquid diet for liver and it came up with SlimFast! You could have knocked me down with a feather, so I dunno. :D
Perhaps you could make batches of your favourite soups ~ blitz them ~ freeze them ~ then take out as and when. I have a drawer in my freezer specifically for homemade soups ie scotchbroth; vegetable; celery; chicken & leek are just but a few. Worth a try?

.....and soup doesn't lie heavy on the stomach. I personally don't rate Slimfast because of the carb & sugar content ~ and yes it is sweet ~ too sweet for my liking!

Wonderful to hear from you Ted, you have a lovely friend in Baz and am sorry to hear of his troubles, please send my best wishes to him. Take very good care of yourself and stay exactly where you are until you are much better. Very warm and gentle hugs to you. Sue x

Ah, great to hear from you Ted 🙂 Please get well soon although I'm wondering if you want to get back home as you appear to be being treated like a King! 🙂 It's been really good of Baz to keep us appraised, my best wishes and thanks to him and his wife 🙂

Aww Ted thats an unxpected surprise ~ lovely to hear from you. We've all been so worried & concerned for you.
Now you just take things nice and slooooow. Often when one begins to feel better we go charging round like a bull at a gate ~ biggy mistake! Baby steps to start with hun til you've built up your strength.
Be patient ~ eat well ~ and sleep.
(((Hugs))) n love

Edited to add:
Baz. I'm truly sorry to hear of your wife's and your health issues. You don't deserve that, neither of you do, you're good people and amazing friend to Ted. Take good care of yourselves do you hear?

welcome back Ted even if it was a fleeting visit, hope you are starting to feel better, sorry to hear about Baz and his wife's troubles too, sending love to you all xx
 
Lovely to hear from you Ted, Baz has been very good with his updates, sorry to hear of all his and his wife's poor health, but sounds like you are a great community and give each other lots of support.
 
I hope it all goes smoothly @Hazel, and not too sore afterwards {{{HUGS}}}

Thanks Alan, very charming young man.

Tooth and root out, a LOT of digging around as root wash rotten and crumbled. Already very sore.

So off home, painkillers and bed.

I have had dry sockets in the past so need to be vigilant

salt mouth washes! NOT!!
Take care

I feel for you Hazel, not my favourite place either, very brave. Wish I could say go home and have a huge glass of wine but perhaps not!!

Excellent to hear from you Ted! Do whatever you need to do to get better, and thanks again to Baz.
 
Morning all. 4.2 this morning. I’ve reduced my nighttime insulatard to 7 units over the last week and still waking to low figures.

I’ve cracked the novorapid when eating out though it seems. I went out with a group of work mates last night to the Harvester. I had three courses and was 7.2 after. Every other time I’ve been out I’ve been in the 20s even with the insulin. I am happy I stayed in range last night. I enjoyed the salad bar (with bread rolls), a beautiful veggie roast with potatoes which are usually a no go for me and Christmas pudding with custard. Heaven!!
 
GOOD MORNING FOLKS.
It's too dark yet to see what the weather's like out there and I'm too snuggly comfy & warm to get out of bed to look out of the window.
At last my numbers are dropping slowly but my waking of 11.3 today is not totally unexpected! Wink Wink!
Stay well friends and have a great Thursday.

Morning merrymonkey. Well done on your waking numbers.
Your 3 course meal sounds deeeelicious ~ and better still you scored 7.2 Wow that's amazing, good for you. Congratulations on your weight loss too, you're doing well with SW.
Take care & look after yourself.

Greetings on this dark and windy morning. A 6.8 for moi. Up and ablutions done as waiting for the gas engineer to service the boiler, 8am -1pm. It’s going to be 12.59pm isn’t it? Went against Mr Eggy’s wishes yesterday and went into town for my haircut, what a mistake! She’s given me a number two! Only joking, mistake because it almost put me back to square one with my back injury. Two codeine sorted me when I got home and my hair is fab-u-lous darling! Have a fab day. 🙂
