Group 7-day waking average?

You’re a one-man band @khskel. 😎 😛

Morning folks.🙂 3.9 here.

Aw, looks like my mum’s cruise won’t be going ahead then - at 84, I think she falls into the ‘elderly passenger’ category (in body, not in mind). Hope she gets her money back!
 
6.2 this morning which I am really pleased with considering the last thing I ate yesterday was a 200g bar of dairy milk. I had had a sh*t day at work where all my male colleagues have been told to work from home starting today, I was not included in the list (someone forwarded the email to me so I knew as part of my role as admin for the team), I emailed our boss in Germany asking if I had been missed off as an oversight, or was I not included and was expected to come into the office (open plan with a capacity of 300 when everyone is in). As far as I know none of my colleagues have diabetes, 1 has asthma. My boss has completely ignored me, so I am guessing I am expected into the office until the whole company declares we are in a business continuity situation. He did however send me an email saying that he hoped he could rely on me to phone the UK team to advise the if the company does declare a business continuity situation, and that could be an evening or weekend, so he wants me to make myself available for unpaid work if it falls on an evening or weekend, to call people who are already working from home to tell them to work from home. Part of me also thinks it is a money saving thing as guess which one of us doesn't have a company fuel card, which is based on my grade. Plus all the guys in the team told me to stop panicking and stressing as in their words you will be fine with coming in to the office the risk is low, so if the risk is low for me, surely the risk is low for them as well. So today the man I sit next to can work from home, but I have to be in the office.


Sorry rant but I can't put any of this on Facebook and eating the chocolate hasn't changed any of that, but when my hubby was leaving work he asked if I needed anything on the way home, I said the biggest bar of chocolate he could get, not expecting him to bring some in, but once it was there and my combination of anger and tears I gave in.
 
Morning all. 5.4 here. Achieved that by lowering basal by half a unit, having a lump of cheese before bed...and a couple of jelly babies to treat a hypo at 2am. Oh of course, it’s Spring.

We are booked on a river cruise in May, which is looking unviable both with the new government advice for the elderly, and the fact that Slovakia has closed its borders, so that’s the day in Bratislava gone, and Budapest has closed all its public buildings. Vienna will probably follow suit, if it hasn’t already. What our tour company is offering at the moment is the chance to rearrange the cruise for later in the year, but not into next year. Crystal ball, anyone?
 
Thought I'd posted this already. 😳
5.6 this beautiful sunny morning. 🙂

Stay safe and well everyone.

It’s a shame but for the best I suppose but still disappointing for you. I’ve a BIG birthday coming up next month and Mr Eggy asked me what I wanted to do, holiday wise, I always think April is a funny month for holidays as it’s Easter and the weather isn’t the best in the countries I’d like to visit so I opted for the Isle of Arran, which I’m hoping will be ok unless they close the ferries down! My last BIG birthday was at the time of the volcanic ash crisis and, again, luckily, I chose Windermere. Mr Eggy’s BIG birthday is in June but we’d already decided to go away to the Greek Islands in September. Fingers crossed it’s all over by then. PS there’s a spare bedroom in our beach front cottage in Arran. 😉

Many cruise line companies are now stopping cruises.
 
Checking in at 6.1 this morning, so yesterday' s high reading must have been because I forgot to take my metformin the night before, - which I guess is better than it turning out to be because it was the start of an infection.
 
Good morning 5.7 on a muggy morning,🙄 didn`t post yesterday a day of hypo`s even had to be brought home from the beach by two nurses just out for a stroll. They must of realised something was wrong with all of the buzzards & vulture's circling overhead waiting for a chance to strike at this inert body, I think the seagulls would get there first.:D Well I would like to thank both of the ladies who made sure I got home ok and stayed with me for an hour to make sure I was ok.🙂

Vienna will probably follow suit, if it hasn’t already
Robin I have just Skyped my friend in Vienna and he said everything is open at the moment but surrounding countries are blocking their borders.🙄

Good rant @Grannylorraine although it does sound very unfair.😡

Can you knit me a cardigan while you are on Arron @eggyg.🙂

Have a good day folks weather not looking good for the weekend, take any sun you can get but stay safe.🙂
 
@KARNAK you don't do it by halves do you, always have to make a seen , your such a diva! :D I think it's just your way of picking up the ladies! Glad you got taken care of though and take it easy the day Ted, sending hugs xx
 
Good morning a 5.1 that’ll do 🙂

Keeping well away from the Gold Cup day mayhem in town and will head the other way on my daily crutches hobble step count!

Just checking bus timetables to Arran @eggyg😉

Have the best day you can 🙂
:D:D:D I’ve hunted out my wetsuit and flippers

Ted, the things you’ll do to have women fuss over you. Hope you’re feeling better today. As for the cardi, hmmm....I’m good at lots of things but knitting ain’t one of them. I might manage a scarf, a Dr Who type as I don’t know how to finish them off!

I can understand why you are so angry . Have you got an HR dept you can go to ?
 
Hi trying to post by mobile. Weird. 6.7 today. Pleased with that.

That above was my effort at trying to post by mobile yesterday, it was still on here but didn't post I don't think. I fail at mobiles.

This morning not good at 7.9 for some reason and then I think I had a hypo later after a silly breakfast. Do you shake with a hypo? I then ate the same thing that put me in that position to 'bring me back up again' in case I'd gone low. Dunno why I just didn't measure and see. I felt too ill though. Just wanted a quick fix. I must get more organised and always have more decent food in. I will be shopping online in future and trying to self isolate because I'm worried in case Mum gets Covid.

GrannyLorraine that is diabolical grr.
 
@Ditto I highly doubt you had a hypo after a "silly" breakfast, hypo's are when blood sugars are low and I guess from silly you mean a lot of carbs in which case there's not really a chance you were low, you could have experienced a false hypo from shooting up from your silly breakfast and you were falling back down quite fast, I believe you aren't on any hypo causing medication so it is VERY unlikely xx

OH Heck Ted . I hope you are fully recovered now . Thank Heaven those nurses came by when they did and helped you.
 
Morning World and welcome to the week-end my reading for this morning is 6.4 with a weekly average of 6.9 hope you are all as well as you can be
 
@Grannylorraine . I would be fuming too. Can you take it further /higher up ?
 
@Ditto . A few of us on here are self isolating to try and protect family and or ourselves.
