Group 7-day waking average?

Rather windy but bright here today. A frustrating 7.7 for me this morning, was it my monkey nuts last night?? @Michael12420 i wish you could get your levels stable, you worry us all. Do you have a D team you could chat with to help? @Grannylorraine good luck with your training, I’m in awe 🙂.
Managed to get a couple of two week bookings for our caravan yesterday, we rent it out to help cover the extortionate fees for owning one but it’s getting more difficult, may have to think about giving it up which I would hate to do.
Have a good Sunday all, have put the beef in the slow cooker and not sure I’ll be going out today, housework and ironing are calling me - always!!
 
Morning all on a much calmer day. A very respectable 6.4. Hoping to get out and get a walk in, after my three miles on Thursday I’m aiming for at least another mile. The sun is forecast but not peeping out yet so fingers crossed. Have a great day everyone. 🙂
 
Morning all. Woken to a 4.1 even though I reduced my nighttime insulatard to just 4 units last night.
 
Morning

5.8 for me today, going to have to change my sensor today as reading up to 40% lower than a finger prick showing me as constantly hypo :( ah well could do with an extra long hot shower as it's still Baltic here, hopefully a bit warmer tomorrow for me getting out to the health centre

Have a nice day folks
Xx
So disappointing when you get one of those :( Hope Abbott come up with a replacement sharpish! 🙂
 
5.5 for me pleased I am back in the 5s. Just waiting for it to be light enough to go out for my run, going to aim for 10 - 11 miles this morning as did just over 9 last week.

11 weeks today to my first ever running event.
You are doing so well Lorraine! 🙂 I don't think it's going to get light at all here today, it's thoroughly miserable! 😱 Enjoy your run! 🙂
 
Oh dear! 8.0 this morning. Eating wasn't too bad yesterday, but I have got a heavy cold and don't feel so great this morning, so this has probably put my reading up. Think a 'duvet and TV' day is called for.
Need to pick up a bit for Tuesday though as it is may annual check-up with diabetes nurse. I' m concerned that the blood test results aren't going to be great as I have had a disrupted few months and been off focus with both diet and exercise.
Many, many thanks though to all you folks on the forum though, the knowledge and empathy in your messages his helping me to re-focus.
 
No there is no 'diabetic team'. There is a diabetic consultant in Jaen BUT it is a 90km round trip and his/her waiting list is 6 months. I'm doing the best that I can under the circumstances. I really appreciate this forum as it is the only place that I can get information and advice.

I’m sorry to hear this and know you are doing all you can, as you say thank goodness for the experience of all the T1s here to help you. Take good care xx

it's only the 2nd I've had to turn faulty since March so cant grumble too much, I emailed them Thursday and it's gotten worse since, they got back to me with questions Friday but didn't reply after I provided the information but I've sent 2 further emails with screenshots so hopefully they will replace it, applied new one, I'll activate this afternoon but its my first ever bleeder! Pressed it after applying and my hand suddenly felt sticky! 😱

Good morning on another very sunny day, 6.8 on the Richter scale with an outside temperature of 18.0C.🙂 Off to the club today to tell my crowd about the wonderful day I had at Bristol yesterday.😎

Keep it up @Grannylorraine you're doing great.🙂

@Michael12421 it must be very frustrating having very little contact with a DSN, stick closely to the forum we are here to help.

Hope you get things sorted @Kaylz.🙂

Right I`m off out enjoy your day folks, stay warm and safe.🙂
 
Pleased to report a much better 7.0 this morning. Have to confess that I hit the rum and coke last night instead of chocolate and went to bed with a 7.1, did a check at 3.30am when I woke up to go to the loo, which was 6.5 and then 7.0 when I woke up which is all a bit annoying since I get really nice steady readings every time I get a bit tipsy but struggle when I am sober..... which of course tempts me to get tipsy more often, especially when I get frustrated with my diabetes.... not an ideal situation. No hang over though, so an enjoyable evening and some better readings with no obvious drawback.

I've had a bleeder too, quite a shock, isn't it? People told me that they often provide more accurate results, but in my case it turned out to be a duff one and had to replace it :( I hope yours is one of the good performers! 🙂 I find it so disappointing when the sensor doesn't perform well, especially after one that has performed well - often mkes me reluctant to put a new one on until I've braced myself properly for the potential let-down! 🙄

yes it was, I immediately knew what it was when my hand felt sticky and was just like oh no lol, dripped on the floor as well 🙄 I'll activate it about 3 so its ready for my tea and fingers crossed its a good one, I know what you mean, my one over Christmas and New Years week was spot on which made me feel at ease for my dessert etc, I hope it reads well as at least then I'll have an actual good thing for the consultant to see on the 21st lol, just thought though I've to get bloods done tomorrow and the way that nurses desk is it would be the arm with the Libre on, hopefully the strap wont be too close to my sensor xx

Warn her about it or get her to use the other arm, I've done that before 🙂 Whatever the furniture arrangements they have to be able to accommodate either arm - what if you've only got one? 😱 🙂

it was the same last time but the sensor is lower down this time so I'll definitely get her to do my other arm, might encourage more blood to spurt out the sensor after all! 😱:D xx
 
Afternoon all, could have sworn I'd posted earlier, but I obviously only thought about it! 7.1 anyway, not too shabby seeing that I was away from home and guesstimated all my meals yesterday.
 
Morning all 6.6 for me this morning, still pitch black outside. Am aching all over today as fell over yesterday. Was on the beach walking the dog and went down a slope on the stones and caught my foot, had the dog on the lead and just fell flat but with my arm outstretched as the dog kept walking, wham on the stones. Have hurt my hands, knees and right shoulder but thankfully this morning not as bad as I was expecting. Am certainly aching but haven’t set my shoulder off thank goodness. Enough of my little woes I need to get off to work, have a good day all xx
