Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Up at 6.7 today, although I ate quite well yesterday I think this may somehow a catch up on a few days of not so good. Anyway, started to keep a food diary again which usually helps me get back in line.

So it's Easter weekend, as for many usually a big family gathering for us so it will be strange.
The up-side is, I won't be anywhere near all of the chocolate temptations.
 
6.0 for me this morning so a bit disappointed, but then I did make a beef and veg pie yesterday and ate some of the pastry. Going to finish it up for lunch, but just eat the filling, I made the pastry a bit too short anyway as it was very crumbly.

Have a nice Easter everyone, for me it does not feel right not to be busy baking and preparing for an Easter egg hunt for the grandkids, but going to do them a treasure hunt instead when this is all over.
 
Good morning 7.1 on another glorious day, got a start of a nice suntan yesterday but still plenty of white bits.:D Just been for my walk through the park and end up in Lidl`s so got some tinned refreshments.🙂 Came across a couple of numpty`s on the way back sat on one of the benches drinking a bottle of sherry each.😡

Congratulations on your HS @khskel.🙂

Were they flatpack?

Spot on @ColinUK made I larf.:D

Well done all front line workers we`re very grateful to you. xxx

Try and enjoy your weekend folks take care and stay safe.🙂
 
Hi All. Lovely sunny day. Just perfect for sitting and enjoying the birds chirping and otherwise total silence. It’ll be odd if we ever get back to normal ..... think it’ll be a different world when we do..... new normals

Had one of my really awful hypos yesterday afternoon took a while to sort out plenty of jelly babies and not great in the night either more jelly babies. 4.9 currently which is ok but a bit low to function at the moment feel wobbly and shattered.

Have a lovely Easter weekend at home keep the internet busy to see family !
 
@Bexlee how awful, hope you feel better soon, also hope you manage to get those levels up a bit and remain stable xx

thanks @Kaylz starting to feel a bit more with it. Had some toast and a bit of jam.
 
Good evening, 7.8 @ 8.04am and I was supposed to go to my second home! :D Too ill and depressed though, hope the cat won't be too lonely till crack of dawn tomorrow. :(
 
Good morning folks. I have not read any posts yet, so I hope everyone is ok.

After what has been happening with my BGs the last few days , I an most surprised to report in with a HS this morning though my graph is o_O as I have the double whammy of a uti and a rather strange cold that is trying it’s hardest to become a chest infection, dad has it too (not the uti :D) and we both feel wiped out . I was trying to eat a bit of dinner last night, if I hadn’t had jabbed in the Insulin for it I would have given up because of the effort to feed myself , my arms felt like lead weightso_O, mind you I think it is because they had come out in sympathy with my legs lol
My insulin needs of both Basal and bolus have shot up too .
Dad started to feel a bit better last night so fingers crossed he’s on the mend now .
Stay safe everyone .
I am off for some much needed coffee while I get my toaster to burn a couple of slices if toast for me , I haven’t lost my appetite :D.
 
Morning all,
5.7 this morning.
@Ljc glad you are feeling a bit better, don't burn the toast too much!

A bit of garden tidy and DIY today for me.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Good morning everyone. Spent most of the early hours in pain. Scanned at 5.15 and it was 16.6 - then realised that my pump cannula had come out. BG tested and 17.7 - after replacing cannula I injected five units of bolus. An hour later it is 19.9 with ketones. Hopefully the insulin will start kicking in soon.

Oh dear Amanda, hope you get sorted soon. Much love. X
 
Good morning all. A rubbish 7.1, again not deserved at all. I’m just going to ride with my numbers at the moment as I know it’s most probably anxiety related. Dull morning after yesterday’s glorious day. Still haven’t been out walking as back still twinging, it’s annoying the heck out of me! Got some online training to do for my new volunteer role with DUK, so if the sun doesn’t show itself today I’ll get on with that. Have a stay at home Saturday.
 
Good morning All today's reading for me is 5.6 making a weekly average for me this week of 6.5 which is down from 7.5 last week
 
Morning

6.0 for me today

The Range order turned up yesterday, absolutely no need for the huge box it was sent in or the tonnes of thick paper in it but hey ho, only thing left to come now is my 13 bars of Lindt 90%

Hands are feeling a bit better since using Dove argan oil soap so going to log into my Superdrug account and get them to email me when it's back in stock
Xx
 
Morning all.
7.4 this morning. Which isn’t bad as I polished off a Flamineggo from M&S yesterday.
