Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all on this surprisingly calm Sunday morning.

Car remains in garage due to breaks failing on the way to the MOT at least I wasn't going any great distance.

Succumbed to temptation and ordered a flute which I should get on Monday. Never played one before but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

Have a good day everyone.
 
A lovely 5.3 for me today, and a 3 lb drop on the scales.

smile on my face as I’m off out on my walk this morning. No rain will make me grumpy today. 🙂

have a good day folks
 
5.9 this morning. 🙂
Steel grey sky, but it's supposed to be sunny later. 🙄
Have a great day.

6.6 today, really windy here. Not much happening today. Watched the Downton Abbey film last night, was good. Doesn’t take much to make me happy. Have a good day all x
 
Morning all. A 5.1 for me this morning.
 
Morning folks. Damp but calmer. 6.9 for me, exactly what I went to bed on, so can’t grumble. We’ve been promised a rain free day and sunny intervals, so Mr Eggy and I are going on one of epic city walks. Obviously the lakes and fells are out because of all the rain we’ve had but luckily we live in a beautiful city with riverside walks suitable for bikes, buggies, wheelchairs and wimps like us! Have a spectacular Sunday and hope it’s dry and not too windy wherever you are. 🙂
 
Good morning 7.1 on another miserable day :( light bulb changing day and curtain hanging only trouble is I have to climb the step ladder (gulp) so panic alarm is at the ready.:D Coming back from the club yesterday after watching the rugby I go through a park with a large duck pond which had overflowed onto the pathways so had to walk on the grass, bad mistake. My feet sank through grass and into the mud underneath,😡 shoes filled up with mud and made folks walking in the park smile very loudly.:D got home ditched shoes and socks and very nearly feet.🙄 Hey HO.

Wales gave it away @Anitram.😳

@Mephistophlillie doing well with the weight loss, keep it up.🙂

Enjoy your day folks more weather to come so take care.🙂
 
Morning All

6.1. Had a great day on the steam train (Worth Valley) where the Railway Children was filmed - I love that film! Had lunch in Haworth (Bronte sisters). Nephews up to mischief but we didn’t get told off! And niece as cute as ever.

Back to work tomorrow :confused: So best double check I’ve done everything.
Have a great Sunday ........ Rugby 🙂 can England win?!
 
After yesterday I'm having a day off BG readings today, went for a morning walk with Mr G (should have waited for this sunshine) and I've spent sometime looking at food diary printables instead. 🙂 Huge thanks to everyone who stepped in yesterday to help me and educate me. Maybe in the future when people are diagnosed there will be a microchip with all medical/scientific info so they will instantly be an expert at managing the condition.
@Ditto sorry to hear about your friend - that is a terrible way to be treated! @eggyg your joy at 5.8 made me smile. :D

No, I've just tried it now, they are a pale blue bar but the icons are faded so I can't click on them. I must go and peruse the appropriate thread and stop mithering in here but thank you for your help Sue x

Afternoon all. I am being stupid as usual, have been very ill with eating, I just want to comfort eat as I have all my life and now I really really can't. Today has been another eye opener. I'm having a measuring day. I don't think I'll be able to do SlimFast liver diet due to Type 2. I will have a SlimFast shake around 5 and then measure but I know what's going to happen! I just don't know what to do really, I have nasty symptoms all the time now and even if I eat a lot I lose weight on a daily basis. Ironic.

8.7 @ 11.01am I had a lie in! Makes a change from being up at 4.
After 4 small rounds Warburtons small toastie loaf spread with Anchor butter and 2 fried eggs with fried garlics I was 12.5 @ 1.03pm after an hour!!!! Agh.
8.5 @ 2.26pm.

I don't know whether I'm coming or going.

Thank you Kaylz, my friend won't phone the ambulance or 111 as she's frightened of going in hospital in case she doesn't come back out! The doctor will be coming to see her next week for all her other ailments so hopefully she will be seen to then re her type 2. She has bought in Wiltshire Foods diabetic less sugar foods to eat.

After a 6.4 yesterday having had some carb-heavier meals, had a 5.0 this morning. I guess I've recovered a bit from that. Will test in a bit and see what I've got after just having had some chaffles.

What the heck are chaffles!? :D
 
Well I had great readings all day yesterday until I went out for a meal last night. I was supposed to be ordering something sensible (ie. low carb) but I was late and everyone else had ordered so I just plumped for the slow roasted belly pork with apple mash and black pudding and port sauce which came with a dish of cauli, broccoli and carrots. Jabbed myself 5 units and didn't eat all the mash. Ordered a cheese board for afters without biscuits but it came with an apple which I did eat..... and enjoyed. Was 11.6, when I got to the car to drive home so I gave myself another 2 units. Got home and changed and headed out to do evening stables (midnight by this point) Got back in the house at 2am and was still reading 11.0 despite having done manual work mucking out etc. Gave myself another unit of NR before bed and increased my basal by 2 to deal with the cheese and woke up this morning to a fantastic 4.3, so I am giving myself a big pat on the back for how well I winged that one! 😎

Waffles but made from cheese and egg, no flour. Think you can add flaxseed or other things. I keep meaning to try them, but with my usual procrastination hasn't happened yet!

Oooh do you or @zoombapup have the recipe - I found a D-friendly waffle mix recipe but didn't save it and lost it somewhere on the internet!😳

With levels like that I'm surprised she's still getting around to be honest, no HCP in their right mind should leave someone with levels like that for days on end, I'm sorry but I don't think much of your friends attitude towards the situation either as it would be far safer than running that high to just go and get seen to and get it sorted, with those levels she needs insulin to get them down not diabetic less sugar foods when its not even just sugar that's doing it xx
 
Good morning 🙂 6.1 for me today 🙂 Snow! 😱 First of the winter here, a couple of inches. Good news is that I don't have to venture out in it! Hope everyone is well, stay safe if affected by the bad weather 🙂 Hard to believe that this time there was a winter heatwave and we were basking in 21 C of glorious sunshine! 😱
 
Good morning. Went to bed on 6.2 and woke to a HS 🙂
Well the wind seems to have died down , it’s strangely silent out there

Stay safe everyone, wrap up warm if you have yo go out.
 
Morning all 6.1 this morning in not so windy Worthing! Heading back home today, it's been a good break.
Wow @Northerner snow! Winter draws on a bit yet! ❄❄☃️
I suppose I should appreciate the 'new coat'

Blessings Snowwy
