Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 4.6 here this morning.

I’m currently getting over a nice bout of lurgy that settled on my chest over Christmas. I sound like a man, couldn’t really take anything for it other than rubbing vicks on my chest to ease the stuffiness. I didn’t want to add more medication to my massive daily list and the majority of remedies out there are not suitable for pregnancy. I also have trouble sleeping comfortably thanks to very achy hips and back in the night at the moment. Again pregnancy related but I won’t grumble about that. I’m just sleeping with a pillow between my legs which helps a little.

I should be getting on with lesson planning also but so far have totally ignored that fact these holidays.
 
Going the wrong way again with a 6.5 this morning, after eating better yesterday, I do however feel awful with a slight sore throat, horrible headache and claggy throat, just feel like I am getting the lurgy that has been going around. Was supposed to going for a run later but not sure I feel upto it.

@merrymunky nice bump, sorry to here you had the lurgy all over Christmas.

Congrats to @MeeTooTeeTwo and @zoombapup in your HS today.

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

Understanding your anxiety re your 20wk scan but try to stay calm if you can. Everything crossed for next Friday🙂

Good afternoon folks.
Logging a waking of 6.7. Tho I'm making a concerted effort to get back in the 5's again it just ain't happening so I hazard a guess its coz I'm still feeling under the weather.

Good morning folks. 5.3 for me today with a much improved graph.
 
8.0 for me today not sure why it's higher than normal for the mornings
 
Morning all. 7.1 for me today. I made a pie with the leftover turkey yesterday, pastry is lovely but lethal! Slight improvement on the man flu front, had a better night. It’s our youngest granddaughter’s 2nd birthday today so we are going to visit her this afternoon. She’s a little angel at the moment I do hope she doesn’t get the terrible twos! Have a happy Monday, the last one of the decade, it’s a scary thought that we’re heading into the roaring twenties, although I’m sure another moniker will soon be coined. 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂

4.1 at 6am so shoved 2 glucose chews in (better safe than sorry eh?) 5.0 by 6:45 when I get ready for brekkie, was over 7 when I went to bed! Don't know if its just cause I was out shopping last night or what 🙄 we'll see what the next week brings I suppose

Well Bruce is at work today and tomorrow so I'll get a bit of peace, hoping some orders arrive today

Have a lovely day folks :D
xx
 
Morning all. 10.1 here, haven’t been in single figures since I fell off a horse yesterday morning. Firefighting with about twice as much insulin as usual, it’s amazing what a difference it’s made. Going to the GP later to plead for stronger painkillers, my body hurts! (well, mainly ribs on right hand side, but anything I do sends the muscles into spasm)
 
Morning all and 4.9 for me.

Might have to start promising for evening meal, still spiking in the evening.

May be going for a trip on the KWVR steam railway today.

Have a good day everyone.

Sorry to see it hasn't eased any :( Hope you can get something stronger and it starts to ease soon xx
 
Morning everyone, 6.1 this morning. 6 yr old grandson had eyes tested yesterday and surprised to find he has spheres of +4,25 and +6.25 so obviously needs glasses, no shock that he needs them as my other grandson, his mum and myself all had glasses aged 4 but what I was shocked at was that because of the strength he needs they suggested the thin and light lenses and so the glasses have cost £90. I think that’s dreadful that they need to pay that much when he will probably need them changing regularly and my son and family will struggle to pay that. Am happy to help out of course but surprised that you should pay so much for a six year old. Little moan over.
Have a good day all
