Group 7-day waking average?

Thought I'd posted 6.1 earlier. 🙂
Silly me.

Stay safe and well, especially @Michael12421

Dez
 
A late ish morning but a very happy 4.8 on an increased basal of 140%.

I hope your cuts and bruises heal quickly @Michael12421 . On the carb info on packets we find it varies depending on the make. Most give the carbs after cooking but there is then a mention of what dried weight gives a specific cooked weight. Not easy.

Good to hear you are doing so well @merrymunky .

Freezing cold outside in spite of the sunshine so an inside day.
 
Good morning 🙂 Forgot to post earlier! 5.8 for me today 🙂

White rabbits! White rabbits! White rabbits! :D

@Michael12421, so sorry to hear about your awful experience :( Do you have hypo treatments at your bedside? If so, do you know why you felt the urge to go downstairs? Please stay safe and take care {{{HUGS}}}

I don't know why. I do have hypo treatments at my bedside, I used them last night but you know what it is like when these things happen - reasoning goes out of the window. I feel OK now except for the soreness. My right eye orbit has taken a severe grazing and it is a bit painful, along with 30% of the rest of my body.
 
Good morning 5.7 on a gorgeous day, suns shining and warm on white rabbit day.🙂 Cooking day today veg needs steaming starting to look like me limp😱😳, give me a chance to clean the floor because I drop most of it.🙄

Nice to hear from you @merrymunky congratulations on your HS.🙂

@Michael12421 a nasty time for you stair tumbling not a good idea, believe me I`m an expert at it glad you feel better now {{{HUGS}}}.

Glad you`re feeling better @ColinUK. 🙂

Please be cautious my friends and stay safe thinking of you all, take care.🙂
 
Hi all, first week back at work, all vulnerable people working together, not sure if that’s a good idea or not, very difficult trying to keep 2m apart, thankfully I have my own office but it’s blooming freezing and we’re not allowed to close the doors. Not much work so the day drags. Anyway 6.4 this morning.
@ColinUK glad you are feeling a bit better.
@merrymunky congrats on the HS and glad you are keeping well
@Michael12421 so sorry to hear your horrible experience, really hope you can rest and recover, take care.
Have a good day and keep warm and more importantly stay safe x
 
Greetings,
The snowman here... My mate Jack Frost was out last night, even made the dafs faint!
Thankfully recovered now, anyway 5.6 this morning first thing, got engrossed with stuff hence late on parade.
Sad to hear some of you are battling with all sorts at the moment, hope everything settles down soon for you.

Have a blessed afternoon,
Snowwy
 
G'day all. Not into routine yet, of measuring while trying to get out to the shops at the crack of dawn. I shall get on it tomorrow. Need to stop filling my face and get measuring. I am still alive! :D

My friend in Plymouth called 111 as she felt she had the symptoms. She is a bit of a hypochondriac like me but is really poorly with other stuff genuinely and despite having carers daily she is falling through the net imho. Her G'son lives with her but has his own problems. Her bg still too high, lowest reading 19ish highest 31ish. Insulin once a week. They sent an ambulance and bloke in hazmat suit. She doesn't have the virus but took the name of her doc after measuring her bg. Maybe something will get done for her now. On the other hand she has COPD but her main worry is she is down to her last 2 pcks fags! She can't get Asda home delivery that she normally has, they're the only place that will deliver cigarettes. If I didn't have mum and son to worry about I'd move into her boxroom, dunno whether that would be a threat or a promise tho' I must ask her. :D

I do know @Michael12421 - it certainly wasn't a criticism 🙂 Hypos are a sign that our brain cannot get the energy it needs to function properly, hence all the alarm bells it sends the body, it's unsurprising that it becomes extremely difficult to think and behave rationally :( Although it sounds like a horrendous experience, thankfully you don't appear to have broken anything, which is a true blessing in the current climate 🙂 Perhaps you should consider getting a safety gate fitted to the top of the stairs, that you can only open when your brain is functioning normally? Might sound extreme, but if it prevents you from falling headlong all the way down it would be worth it 🙂 Not a problem for me, living in a bungalow! 🙂

I’ve done the same. I went downstairs for hypo treatment feeling like a shaky horrific mess when I had that low of 1.8. I had a bag of sweets in my handbag by the bed but in the moment I totally forgot about it! It happens. Hope you are feeling ok Michael.
 
5.2 this morning after a fairly high day yesterday by high to mean 9 for most of the day. Husband and I have been for our daily walk and saw other humans ..... we even spoke to one!

@Michael12421 hope you’re feeling better.
 
Thanks 🙂

Bruce got a child gate off his sister to put at the top of his stairs for when I stayed at his long before I was diagnosed as I was terrible for sleepwalking! xx
 
Morning all,
5.8 this morning.

Have a blessed day,
Snowwy
 
Clearly connected to how I’m battling the virus as it’s back up to 7.5 this morning and the sore throat is back :(
And yesterday was minimal carbs and nothing unwise to consume at all.
