Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning

Quiet today so far I see, 6.6 for me, day already going wrong as dropped things already, can tell it's going to be a long day 🙄

Have a nice day folks

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 7.4 for this morning

Jack Frost has arrived and so has the weekend - will I be cycling and golfing this weekend or will I be wearing my sulky head window watching the weather
 
Morning folks.🙂 5.3 here...ooo, so close. Well done @zoombapup!😛

It was all go here yesterday with plumbers n builders n dust n cuppas...hope they remember to come back and finish today.🙄

Oh, ow, ouch...hope you feel ok today (((hugs))).
 
good morning all, on the cold and wet morning my reading today is 6.6
 
Frosty today and I’m reporting a half decent score of 6.2. Had a great day at Grasmere yesterday, the weather was amazing, very springlike. We walked a very slow 6 miles, mostly as we were enjoying the scenery and taking lots of photos. And I’m glad to report no limping was necessary. Feel fine today even after a fruity toasted tea cake, scones were gone by the time we got to the cafe. Babysitting day today, see what the little cherub gets up to today ( potty training has commenced, this could be fun!) Have a fab Friday everyone. 🙂
And @KARNAK try and stay upright if you can. Hope the nose is ok.
 
4.5 for me. 🙂

Have a great weekend everybody.

Dez
 
7.5 - Oh dear that's a high one for me.
I've been staying at my daughter's house grandson minding, and I've re-named that house as 'carb-city'! I operate on a 'see-food' principle at home at keep the bad stuff out of the house. So with temptations around and a few 'wind-ups' from the boys I didn't do so well. This is going to be a weekly event for a while though so need to work out a new coping mechanism.

Lovely morning - sunshine on the frost.
 
Good morning people.

After four attempts to draw the red stuff my meter chucked out a 6.3 It just wouldn't flow for some reason. Mindful that I fell off the wagon late last night I was very very surprised that I produced this number ~ I wonder if its coz I ate water melon before bed?
Have a nice day folks, it's nearly the weekend. Too early yet to mow the grass. Can't wait for Spring to arrive & hopefully warmer weather.
Take care and keep warm.

Disappointing 9.5 from me this morning and don't really understand why. I have started using my steroid inhaler again but not sure if that can raise levels the same as oral steroids.

Congrats Dez on your House Special

Hi. Apparently while steroids can help reduce inflammation and reduce pain, they can also significantly increase blood glucose levels in people with Diabetes. Ah maybe that's why my bgls are higher than they used to be! *Interesting!

6.1 this morning. That’s clearly a lesson confirmed - avoid ciabatta.
 
Well. I broke my cardinal rule last night and gave myself a one unit correction at bedtime (I don't normally do corrections at bedtime) but was sick of double figures and it worked out great as I was a lovely 5.7 this morning. Had my usual breakfast and bolus and a suck on my inhaler. Mucked out horses and went for a short cycle ride only to find I was 13.1 at lunchtime. Did a 2 unit correction and 3hrs later I am still 11.8.... which is pretty frustrating. It has to be the inhaler but hadn't noticed such a problem when I have taken it before but maybe that is because I wasn't aware that steroids can do that. I have certainly had periods before when my BG levels were persistently high but just didn't tie it in. Must make a point of recording inhaler use in my sugar diary app.

@zoombapup
Many congratulations on your HS. Hope it is the first of many!

Wish you were having a better time of it at the moment Kaylz, hope today improved for you.
 
Had 5.3 this morning - so close... but not a @zoombapup house special! :D
I am looking forward to the first lie in for a week and imagining as I will have a lazy waking I may miss any spikes and manage a house special... maybe...
Bloods down to 4.7 right now... :confused: so off to have an early tea.
Also struggling to make enough blood for my readings - have learnt to contort my body/hand around the back of the testing strip and swipe up.

Hope today was a good one for all of you.

Thanks my lovely, had a right rollercoaster of a day today so could have been by far better, hopefully this weekend goes far more smoothly than last and Bruce makes it through without any incidents, I can't help but worry about him even more now though :( I'm like a crazy paranoid person about it all xx
