Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone. 7.7 today. I’m looking forward to seeing school friends today and chatting over a light lunch.
 
Morning all, take good care with Dennis lurking. We have police patrols along the seafront to stop people going down there, rather windy already (including both the dog and hubby), stay safe.
6.4 for me today, was going to test whilst still in bed but couldn't bring myself to do it, can’t see a thing without my glasses.
Stay safe x
 
4.6 🙂 and rain rain rain 😡
Hoping Dennis doesn't become a menace for anyone. 🙄

Keep safe.

Morning all, 7.4 here. Expect I was lower when I first woke, but dozed off again, and woke up in the middle of a stress dream (the usual one, looming exam, no revision done). The funny thing is, I’ve nothing to be particularly stressed about at the moment!
 
Good morning - well,not so good. A simple dinner of goulash and a few potatoes resulted in an 11.5 this morning - you just can't win sometimes.
Sorry to hear this, as you say sometimes it’s such a puzzle and yours seems really cryptic, wish I could help. Take care, we do worry about you x
 
Morning all.🙂 4.4 here.😛

Hoping Dennis doesn’t close the Severn Bridges this weekend and ruin our family get together.

Another great weekly average @Baz!:D
 
Hmm 7.1 this morning - Valentine day present was just 3 innocent looking choc truffles in a cute box - Couldn't resist, so need to have a careful day today, to get back on line. looking out the window though, don't think my usual solution of a long walk is a good idea.
Hope 'Dennis' isn't too damaging.
Stay safe everyone.
 
Morning all - miserable weather.

4.2 today

Stay safe, stay dry, stay warm
 
Good morning 11.1 induced by two Rich Tea biscuits and a cuppa soup without any NR.🙄 Its another wet miserable day, Dennis is sending out Gnasher for a recce😱 amber flood warnings in place throughout the region and of course leaves on the rail tracks.🙂 Dropped my iPhone in water on Thursday had to have a new screen fitted, £55😡, for those qualifying hope you had a Happy Valentines yesterday.🙂

Enjoy your lunch Amanda.🙂

As all have said already stay safe and warm. take care folks try and enjoy your day.🙂
 
Morning all. Hope everyone is safe and well. It’s just starting to get windy and wet here.

I’m pleased to be inside and binge watching tv - it’s 1/2 term for us part time workers with lots of holidays ..... I do have mock exam papers to mark so a little sympathy please!?!

Hope you have a quiet afternoon @Kaylz

Have a good day all.

I have been popping in for a read but working flat out and also took a break from testing as had some issues with fingers healing. I have only taken a couple of reading this past week, one day I forgot to take metaformin at breakfast and also didn't pack my pills in work bag! So it was the evening before I had a dose. My fasting level was 5.9 the next day.
I looked online and re-read the leaflet and it seemed to suggest to just take the remaining doses and try not to worry. I was expecting a bigger difference in levels.
Sometimes when I first get home I have a feeling of a false hypo, this usually happens about once a week. I tested at 5.1 so was fine, as always. Called false for a reason but I do wish they'd stop.
Anyone got any idea if they do stop once BGs are under control?

Waking reading this morning was 5.2 - which I am delighted with as it is a HS! Whoop! :D😎
And also Mr G and I had our annual valentine chinese take away so I was expecting it to be higher - especially as in my tiredness I polished off a whole dish thinking it was 21g carbs (and realised this morning it is more like 61g)! This still put my daily carbs at below 130g but about 2.5x more than I have been allowing myself.
Loved my roses and girly gifts and the special meal (which I am still feeling full from)... not liking Storm Dennis though - he is a bit scary.

Stay safe people!

Stay safe sounds like Dennis is being a real menace where you are!
 
Good morning

A digestive biscuit induced

No idea if theres much damage outside, too pitch black to see a thing but there wasnt when I was out last night

@Neens I wouldn't see a reason for the cream in a coffee to cause a false hypo as there are less carbs and more fat than you get in milk hence why many use it instead of milk

Anyways have a good day, I'm off to wrap up on the sofa and hope this thumper of a headache shifts
Xx
Thanks for the advice/experience. Yep had read that cream was okay - generally just buy what we both use (semi-skimmed milk) it was one of the first questions I asked the DN as I thought I may need almond milk etc. I don't have lots of it - but the cream for me was a treat. Always tastes better in proper coffee - just use the kettle and instant usually at home... although we do have a machine.
It was probably the lake of baked beans...

Congrats on your HS too! :D
 
Good morning 🙂 5.9 for me today 🙂 Goodness it was wild last night, the wind was so strong it was actually quite scary - certainly the worst I have heard since I moved up here, and I live on top of a hill in North Yorkshire, so it's frequently quite breezy 😱 The wind was literally howling and roaring, the house was practically shaking and it felt like the windows might get blown out 😱 One advantage of living at the very top of the hill though is no flooding - I hope that everyone has escaped the worst of it. My home town in the Calder Valley is flooded, I wonder if BJ will bother coming to visit now that he doesn't have to?

Have a safe, warm, dry day everyone 🙂
Hope Storm Dennis doesn't create as much fear - I now imagine this idyllic house (or Wuthering Heights)... or if you got some balloons UP maybe?! Keep safe. Hating the wind here and I live at the bottom of a valley with little chance of flooding... and I am still scared!
