Group 7-day waking average?

6.3 for me, all the sweet stuff is eaten, so that temptation is out of the way, well there are After Eights left, but I am not keen on them. Hubby and son are doing their best to eat the savoury stuff, like crackers.

Congrats on your HS @eggyg.
 
Morning all, 8.1 for me today and back to work after 3 days off.
 
Soz, I’m well late today. A tiramisu induced 7.4. Had a lie in until 8, brekkie, shower, grandkids here by 9.30. They’ve already eaten and drank me out of house and home! At least I got rid of some more turkey! And chocolate and tiramisu! Sadie is two on Monday and she’s just getting to that age where all we hear is Gramma and Gaga on loop! Is it bed time yet? For me that is! Have a good day, whatever it is, cos I ain’t got a clue! :D
TIRAMISU to die for eh @eggyg? Confession time: I had my fair share of it over Christmas🙂🙂🙂

Good afternoon friends.
I slept for 14hrs last night (I needed it) and woke to a 6.6 at 3pm.

My breathing isnt too good today ~ still trying to shake off the chest infection that's hanging around. I've been prescribed a new inhaler which I have to use 2 x daily on along with two other inhalers that I use.

I was given a respiratory exerciser on Christmas day. It's for enhanced respiratory muscle strength, durability & performance. It's a highly effective inspiratory muscle trainer, providing an easy and convenient means of increasing the strength and durability of respiratory muscles (Well that's what it says on the patient leaflet) So I'm going to try this to see if I will benefit from using it.

I've also been prescribed effervescent tablets. This is to thin the mucus that I'm having difficulty coughing up (Soz tmi)

To say I'm a walking Chemist is an understatement!!!

That's all my good news for today folks!!!!
Take care.

Morning all you lay-a-beds! I knew I’d be first here and I have glad tidings too. Drum roll please........5.2! Yes, I’ve finally done it, my first House Special! It’s a shame I had to starve myself to achieve it. The starvation wasn’t intentional, I hasten to add, I’m full of cold, been fighting a tickle in my throat for a few days. It’s now full blown chesty cough, sore ears, blocked and irritated nose ( the Christmas tree is going to have come down, I can’t bear the smell). Ah well, it takes my mind off, my now vastly reduced and feeling better by the day, haematoma. You win some, you lose some. Have a great Twixmas, we would be normally be off up a fell on this day. :(

Hello all.

I was a 4.2 on waking this morning. I saw my pregnancy consultant and mentioned the lower morning reading but he has advised me to stick to my current dosage. I reduced it to 6 units of insulatard at night time. He thinks that my levels will start to go haywire in the next few weeks but so far I’ve been very stable. Stayed in range all through Christmas but didn’t over indulge I have made sure I have enjoyed myself and esteem some very naughty things (assisted with novorapid of course)

Good to hear from you and glad to hear all is going well. Happy New Year to you x

Thank you. I will be 19 weeks pregnant on Monday which will make me officially half way since I only have to get to 38 weeks. I’m scared though as it’s our 20 week scan next Friday. Our first actual check on baby since the 12 week scan. All my appointments have been with the diabetic pregnancy consultants etc. I’m terrified it will be bad news. I’m in that limbo where I’m not feeling movement yet, I have some sort of bump but it vanishes when I sit or lie down being a bigger girl. I just want to know all is ok in there.

On the plus side the diabetes has been very well managed and is completely under control, my blood pressure has been god throughout and I haven’t gained any weight yet.

Here’s my latest bump shot. Looks bigger some days than others.

Hope you are well xx

Looking like a great bump to me. You have done everything that has been asked of you and they have kept a close eye on you and your levels have been good. Try to stay positive, though of course I understand your worries but try and find as much enjoyment from your pregnancy as you possibly can good luck for next Friday, perhaps you would let us know how you get on xx

Morning Folks.

Reporting a reading of 6.6 for this morning.

Off to golf club shortly it’s my early turn to book next weeks tee.
 
Morning all a pleasing 6.8 after a 14.7 at bed time. Absolutely no idea why. The highest I’ve been over Christmas was 9.6 even after Christmas pud on Christmas Day. Never mind

Have a good day all - I need to plan a few lessons for the kiddie winks for when we return in another week or so. But I hear the sofa, John Grisham and Jenson Button calling me !
 
Splutter, sneeze, cough! Oh I’m dying of the cold. Infact I may have man flu! 😱 A snotty 7.8 this morning. I’m going to lie down now. Have a good day.🙂

Good morning folks 🙂

My dad is due through tonight so finally get to give him his Christmas present 🙂 I have a few orders on the way, a few diabetes bits and pieces which will be uploaded when they arrive and also some socks, Bruce ordered Feliway for Bubbles and gloves for his work and wanted the free delivery so I gave him his wish and scoured Amazon, bought some quarter socks to wear with my leggings and boots lol

Have a great Sunday folks
