Group 7-day waking average?

Morning All, my reading for today is 6.6 here
 
Morning

4.2 for me at 6am so had a glucose chew and 4.7 by breakfast

Xx
 
Morning all, 5.9 for me today!
On grandparent duty today for a bit, he was due to have tonsils out next week but mum and dad postponed it...
Think I shall need an energy bar before he arrives... and then a glass of red after he goes !

Blessings, Snowwy
 
Morning all. 😛 8.6 here...that’ll be the fish n chips, oops.

Poor Bloden’s got a saw leg and is whining quietly. The vet said painkillers for a week then a reassessment. Poor dab!

I went to Tenby yesterday, to the supermarket, expecting the streets to be quiet but, oh no, there were coaches disgorging hoardes of day trippers. And all the chippies, bars, cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops were open and BUSY. Same in Saundersfoot- aren’t we meant to be staying at home more?!!
 
Good morning everyone 11.1 after dealing with gastroparesis hypos last night. Feeling absolutely awful with one of the worse gastroparesis flare ups that I’ve ever had.
 
Morning all and a 6.9 for me.

Day 2 of working from home for me too, although yesterday's work consisted of trying to get remote access to systems sorted.

Stay as safe as you can everyone.
 
4.7 this morning. 🙂
Have to order a repeat prescription. Usually I e-mail the surgery and then call and collect.
They tell me I have to sign up to a chemist collection service now.
That means one trip into town today, to sign a consent form at the chemist.
Then back again to collect prescription in a couple of days.
Glad I don't have to self isolate - yet!

Stay safe everybody.

Don't these people have televisions, and can't they read? 😱
 
Morning All

5.7 today.

1st day at home. Feels very odd. Missing my lovable rouge tutor group already. Think it’ll be a strange day ...... week and maybe even months.
Have a good day, hope everyone is stocked up on books and box sets

They’ll be like my mother in law, doesn’t watch the news because it’s too depressing! She’s still refusing to stay in, luckily church is off so at least she will stay in on Sunday. When Mr Eggy and his younger brother were trying to explain to her she has to stay in, she just blanked them. She’s going to get a shock when he visits later to tell her we won’t be visiting for the foreseeable. We can’t risk it if she insists on going on buses and in cafes. It’s sad I know as she lives on her own but no one will visit her if she insists on this irresponsible behaviour. Out of three sons and three stepsons, two have had heart attacks, one has had two strokes and one has MS. So that only leaves the youngest and second eldest to visit her as the rest can’t/ won’t chance it.
 
Good morning friends🙂
A rather damp but bright start to the day in my neck of the woods. If it doesn't rain I'll be able to do some light gardening this afternoon ~ y'know like pruning ~ potting up some bulbs ~ and attacking the weeds in the flagstones.

I've taken a responsible action for the sake of my own health and have been self isolated since last Friday ~ mainly coz of my asthma ~ and a wheezy chest & cough that I can't shake off since my chest infection prior to Christmas.

I didn't panic buy before Friday and just bought in what I would normally buy each week. The shelves in Asda were showing signs of emptiness! I saw a greedy husband & wife using separate trolleys & piling them high with just about everything they could cram in their trolleys. How selfish & inconsiderate can some people be?

With that I'll leave you with this in the hope that a little injection of humour during a time of adversity will lift your spirits.....

*My Uni grandson is making his way home by train as I write as his Uni has locked down and lectures & course work will be on line until further notice.

Good morning 7.6 but feeling very shaky after yesterdays bad hypo in Lidl,:( it happened at the self checkout when the person in charge noticed I was struggling with the last item. He asked if I was ok by this time I couldn't see the screen and could barely talk, he finished off the last item and I paid with contactless, Made my way over to the way out and put the bags on the window sill, grabbed my JB`s and devoured 5 in seconds couldn`t test, after 10 minutes didn`t feel much better had another 4 JB`s which was enough to get me outside and sit on the bench. Tested 2.1 so 2 glucose tablets 10 minutes later 3.8, another 2 glucose tablets retested still 3.8 but enough to get me home a 10 minute walk. Haven`t had one like that for a long time but at least I stayed upright,:D certainly knocks it out of you when it happens quiet couple of days now.🙂

DSN phoned from the hospital and cancelled my Friday morning appointment 😡 I didn`t have the heart to tell her what had occurred earlier on, she asked me to send in my results and food diary for the last month.😳

Lots to think about folks just do your best as everyone else says stay safe, take care my friends.🙂
 
Morning all, 7.7 here, (meter reading, my latest Libre sensor ended yesterday. That was a quick two weeks!) @Ljc, you let the Diabetes Fairy come over in this direction again!

I love sharing lol
 
6.5 this morning, but ate more carbs last night than usual, as I made some soda bread using up some yogurt that was going to out of date. Plus as my um and dad stayed last night, they are in the middle of moving and as they had already had contact with me,mhuuby and son in the last few days, thought it was better to bring them to ours rather than them having contact with removal men, same today son is dealing with removal into new flat, then once we have clean every surface possible will take mum and dad over there, have some gloves etc for them to put in the lift and until we get to their apartment, I can take away all the risk, but have minimised it. Site manager has said to dad she has asked other residents to stay indoors while removal men are there, but that is not mandatory just her advice to them.

I slept on the sofa, and had to move, furniture back around this morning, before I remembered that I hadn't done my waking test.

Stay safe and do the best you can.
 
Morning all 🙂 it was a 4.9 at 6.30am but been out for a walk to try and keep fit 😱

@KARNAK I hope you are alright, take care, have a restful few days and remember that you're more likely to have a hypo following a nasty hypo. My legs are only just getting less wobbly today after my hypo on Sunday. Behave yourself as much as possible! 🙂😉

I hope things settle for you Amanda, diabetes is a relentless.........
 
Morning all. Self-inflicted 8.9 @ 9.51am. Watching CoronaNews, very depressing isn't it? That poor young man, youngest to pop off up to now in UK, had Motor Neurone. That is really sad, too young.

They've just got all the plants in at Aldi and I'd normally be piling them in my trolley but I can't even seem to be bothered about gardening. Never thought I'd say that! My family would be shocked. Some lovely little plug plants and my fave Fuchsias. I might get some next week, show willing.

Just watched Hugh Laurie in that space comedy. Naff but it's a hoot. Watched the last of The Split on getting up. I need to get the first series now, I never saw that. I'm sure there'll be a third series, hope so anyways. They've stopped lots of telly programmes, did you see? East Enders on ration!!

Have a good day all, keep calm and carry on.
