Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

Grandad isn’t happy, manager of Scotmid (Coop) had a word with him on Saturday for being in more than once, the person on the early shift must’ve mentioned he’d been in earlier, I have no sympathy for him getting a telling off as we have been telling him he shouldn’t be popping in at least twice a day, on top of that he still isn’t washing his hands and when I brought it up that he’d come up and in here without washing his hands the reply was “I forgot” how can you forget to wash your hands!? So when he leaves I’m a stressed out mess running round cleaning the door handles etc that he’s touched, I can barely step away from the sink before I’m back at it washing my hands again atm and my hands are literally that sore I want to cry with the pain! It may be harsh but when hes down tomorrow he'll be getting told he needs to get sanitiser gel or wipes and use them after hes come in the closey and in the house, I cant carry on suffering like this!

7.4 for me after digestives before bed, basal is being upped as it is so will move up to 15 after 4 doses of 14.5 and not much change, just want to get everything sorted but the stress of my grandad probably isnt helping!

I understand your stress and anxiety about your Grandad, my mother in law is stressing me out and I haven’t seen her for two weeks! Could your mum not go to your Grandad’s house and cook for him? That way he doesn’t have to come to yours at all. Your mum would then wash her hands throughly when she got back. I’m glad he got “ told off”. Mr Eggy tells his mother off everyday as she keeps saying she needs to go the shop and she’s lonely. She goes out for a walk most days and tells us she doesn’t stop and speak to anyone but I know for a fact she couldn’t help herself. She is getting phone calls everyday from her very large family, and FaceTimed/Skyped, we can’t do anymore for her. We’ve tried telling her at least she has family to call and to do her shopping for her, lots don’t but that doesn’t matter. My heart sinks when the phone rings incase it’s her. And whilst I know it’s hard being on your own, it’s for their own safety and the safety of others but I get the feeling they think that it doesn’t matter, they’re old they can do what they want. They are like petulant teenagers! And I know it’s hard but he really shouldn’t be going to your house anyways, under the guidelines, someone can go to him to help care for him as he’s classed as vulnerable. Your mum needs to step up to the plate to protect you all. Take care.
 
Morning all,
Sunny morning here in Sussex. 6.1 this morning...
Feeling inspired today to do something creative.
Art, poetry, woodwork not sure where I am being led.

Have a blessed day, Snowwy
 
@eggyg my mum has her own health issues and she isn't managing up and down the stairs too well atm, she has degeneration of the spine and is struggling quite a bit, she knows its only going to get worse and she will end up in a wheelchair but she tries not to think about it, his other daughter and granddaughter should be the ones taking on some responsibility xx
 
Morning all 6.0 today that’ll do 🙂

Had notification that my pump supplies & hopefully sensors are being delivered today ‘By end of day’. Phew I’ll be very pleased to get some supplies in as I’m running a bit low and it’s hard not to get worried.

Hope you’re all doing ok🙂
 
No reading for me today, no point measuring as I crashed at half eight so was up at one. Will go back to bed later...just letting you know I am still breathing. :D That's what my Mum used to say when she met friends she hadn't seen for ages "Nice to see you still breathing." Freaked them out. :D
 
Morning all. 🙂 4.6 here.

Aw, @Kaylz, I really feel for you...:((((hugs))) to ev1 who’s struggling with the current situation.

On a lighter note, we saw a (steaming!) new born lamb on our walk the other day and two red kites swooping down on the afterbirth (nowhere near the new arrival, thankfully!). In’t nature brilliant!:D

Stay safe and well.

Sorry to hear that. Does your auntie and cousin live close? They really need to help out if that’s the case. It’s a tough one and families need to pull together at this time. I hope you all can sort it as we’re in for the long haul. Xx

A few miles away but they have a car available, they haven't even bothered phoning him to see if he's well though and haven't been in touch for weeks so nothing I can do, thanks though xx
 
Another one in the 15s, plus ketones this morning.
I slept through the alarms I had set for testing in the night.
Things aren’t right but I shall continue to ramp up the insulin until it levels out.

Bother.
 
6.4 for me, so I will take that, I would have preferred in the 5s, but did eat 2 ham rolls for tea, as the rolls needed using up and at the moment I am not throwing any food away.

After yesterday's meltdown, hubby went shopping, had to queue for over 2 hrs to get in (he did say he didn't believe me when I said queues were bad at supermarkets, he doesn't use any form of social media so hadn't seen all the pictures but now understands it is trye), he did manage to get everything on the list which was good, except my prescription as the pharmacy was shut, luckily I have over a weeks worth of meds left, so he is going to try after work each day, and rather than queuing for hours to find out it is shut, he will ask the person maning the door to find out and then queue if pharmacy is open, we have decided if he can't get it by Wednesday, I will phone the docs and ask them to resend it but to a different pharmacy and explain why.

@ColinUK, pleased to see your numbers down to a normal level, how are you feeling now.

@Kaylz, sending you virtual hugs, it must be so frustrating that granddad cannot follow a few simple rules to help keep you safe,

Sending love to you all, as you guys are the ones keeping me sane at the moment.
 
Good morning 5.7 on a sunny cloudy day, colder than normal but still shorts weather. :D 😎 Off to Lidl`s soon just to top up on essentials and other essentials (hic)😳, no HS at the moment on todays thread @Hazel not been posting much although @Anitram gives her a good run for the money.🙂

Glad you`re feeling better @ColinUK.🙂

Oh @Kaylz still getting grief, I can`t advise you I think @eggyg said it all {{{HUGS}}}.

Not nice figures @SB2015 + Ketones how are you feeling? Hope you get control soon {{{HUGS}}}for you too.

Speak with you folks later take care stay safe.🙂
