Group 7-day waking average?

Oops! Where has the day gone...
I had a 5.9 at 5 am and then had to steel myself for an Aldi run. Anyway recovered from that and DIY and now residing in the summerhouse where it is 90!
I have an obligatory port and lemon and just catching up!

Morning all,
It seems the DF are in mischief mode today!
After a dissapointing evening score and a restless night, I managed to turn in my second ever 5.2!
No logic at all here...
Still I will take it and wish you all the very best that this day can offer.
It's a new day, we haven't had this one before and we won't get it again.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Good morning All my reading for today is 5.8 . hope you all have a good safe day today
 
Good morning all, and what an amazing sunrise I am experiencing. I’ve already been up the garden, climbed onto the compost bin and have taken some photos. I’m joining @Snowwy on the restless night step but unfortunately not on the HS. Congrats BTW. 6.5 for me today. Legs a bit achy after a long ( mostly) riverside walk. It was so tranquil and for a few short hours it felt things were back to normal. It was nice to get away from it all. Back to reality today though but looking forward to my weekly night out......to clap! Hope you’re all joining in too. Have a good day and stay safe.

Morning

5.9 for me this morning, have to text my dad's GF a list of stuff I'm needing tonight, not much really, kit kats, tuna, surface wipes as Lidl still haven't had any and although I'm signed up to be notified by email at The Rangr when they are in stock it may be a while as been over a week already, antiseptic wipes as only have a couple left and Moser Roth from Aldi, small list and I'm hopeful its correct this time but most of all I get everything, fingers crossed
Xx
 
Good morning. 🙂 4.9 here.:D
Forget gardening as a major cause of hypos, writing essays is lethal! Consequently (a big essay word!) my basal is down to a record low.🙄🙂

Clap hard tomite!😛
 
Morning all and a close to the edge 4.2 although this is a new sensor which seems to be slightly on the low side. Post cat feeding 5.0 so all's well.

Bin day! Ah the excitement

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning. 12 today but I am not ashamed as I ate far too much for dinner because:-
After 6 days my doctor finally called me. I had run out completely of essential medicines and he fixed it. I went to the pharmacy. who had denied them to me 6 days ago, and they were all there.
My only true friend messaged me to apologize for missing my birthday but offered to do any shopping I might need and to assure me that, once we are permitted to drive, he will come and replace or recharge my car battery.
I went to the bank as I was running very short of cash and got some money via the ATM which is usually emptied shortly after being replenished as all the banks here are closed.
So, all in all a highly successful day worthy of a celebration hence the reading this morning.
It's strange isn't it that in times of adversity the simplest of events can bring so much pleasure?
 
8.5 this morning.
Lost my job yesterday. C’est la vie.
 
@ColinUK so very sorry to hear this. I hope life picks up for you soon and you end up with an even better job.
6.2 for me this morning which I don’t deserve. I am eating so many carbs, can’t seem to sort myself out at the moment. Have been sleeping most afternoons so I know it is affecting me. Must try harder is my motto of the day. Work has been better this week. More work coming through from the doctors as we are now taking some of their work off them so at least I feel useful.
Stay safe everyone x
 
@ColinUK that is bad news. I'd start right away and update my CV and start blitzing the recruitment agencies. These are strange times but there may be strange opportunities out there for you.

4.2 this morning. 🙂
Had an unexpected call yesterday, from my DSN, just to let me know that my review would obviously be delayed and to let me know I wasn't being forgotten. How nice!! 🙂 She sounded really impressed when I told my last 3 months waking averages were 5.3, 5.1 and 5.0 and said she wished all of her patients were like me (BLUSH!!).
I told her how much I appreciated all the work she and her colleagues were doing in these awful times and that I'd be clapping extra hard for her tonight.

Stay safe and well and stay at home.

5.7 today so just crept back into the 5's again and need to make sure I stay there this time.

Just been watching the NHS fundraising item on breakfast TV on 99 year old Captain Tom Moore, who has now raised £12millon+ for NHS charities. What an inspiration he is.
 
@ColinUK - so sorry to hear this.

5.1 for me today as I had a much better day carb wise yesterday and did another 3 mile back garden run, and knocked 5 mins off of Monday's run time. Will almost be at my normal pace soon, however my back garden is almost flat and no waiting to cross roads factored in, so not a true reflection, but taking into account how many many times I am turning around, it might even itself out. As it is so boring running around and around I don't think I could do a long distance, so going to try on working on speed, especially as I am only seconds from the sofa if I feel I have pushed too hard.

@Kaylz - can you recommend a good hand cream please, my hands are so cracked and sore, it is hurting to type on my keyboard, I am using my normal Neutrogena, Norwegian Formula one regularly throughout the day, but it is doing nothing.

LOL. Anybody remember Prince Andrew?! And what about Mr Motivator? He's on a roll isn't he? I like him. It's an ill wind...

A 9 for me. Pathetic. I'm pathetic. My step-dad was right when he told me at 14 that I would eat myself to death. The rotten old B. I'm gutted to prove him right. Why can't I be organised and sensible like y'all? :( I had 3 margy toasts with two boiled eggs at midnight but if Mum hadn't said she was hungry (we read till late) I wouldn't have succumbed. I'm so suggestible. :(

Ditto, you are not pathetic, please do not say that about yourself, you are struggling, I have eaten far more carbs over the last few weeks than I had for the past year. Give yourself some kindness, and if you can't I will. You are caring for your mum, you come on here and be supportive to all of us, that doesn't sound like someone who is pathetic to me, it says a caring person who is having a tough time themselves.

Take care my love.
 
4.4 after a big wobble in the night. Low hypo (no essay to use an excuse @Bloden ) and then no controlled response as with hypo brain I used a mix of test kit and Libre results. Big rebound after stuffing in JBs. It must have been that there were some green ones in there!! However managed to get back on target.

Sorry to hear about your news about your job @ColinUK. I hope it is only temporary.
@Ditto remember that Diabetes has no memory. So today is just another day.
Glad to have the stuck record of good weather @Anitram.
Gardening again today before the cold weather hits

Take care one and all.
