Group 7-day waking average?

Daft question I know but I've always wondered what your avatar is. Is it a phone holder, a sock?? Am baffled, can you share please xx

It is a pump pouch that I made, using some remnants of a Margo Shelby fabric. I also made the clip as one of my pieces at a silver work course. Nothing complex but I bet I wear mine more than others who made earrings etc. Mine is in use everyday and no one else sees it, but I think my pump deserves a bit of posh.

I have also woven my own fabric and made a case for glucose meter, and for my husband’s hearing aids.
 
Caught up with posts now after a rubbish morning of persistent hypos, having woken with a 3.6 where I had hovered for a few hours overnight. BG said 4.0 and I certainly felt wobbly. It just went on and on all morning, so just brought down insulin gradually and now running at 80%. Weather, DF, ? Who knows.

Back to normal now, all be it on a reduced basal rate, but feeling a lot better, although I hadn’t realised how tiring it can be. I might just go and ‘read my book’, which means fall asleep usually.

Good to have you back @Lanny.

I hope you have found some good stuff to occupy yourselves in this cooler weather.

Haha thank you. I’m feeling ok. Back hurts, hips kill, feeling full of baby and getting anxious with only about two weeks to go but otherwise ok. Hope you are well.

4.8 this morning. 🙂
Not so nice weather today, but not raining yet. So, early morning walkies for me.

@Lanny I'm very glad to see you back on here as will most of the "regulars" on here.
Posting on here for me is very therapeutic and it helps to focus my mind for the day ahead.
So I'm really looking forward to reading your posts again.

Stay safe and well.

Yes, that’s EXACTLY it: it’s therapeutic; thinking about the day ahead, very often in my case the day before as well, made me SEE the humour & made that inner sunshine that makes everything SO much more bearable!🙂:D😎 Without doing that; the inner sunshine has been missing! Saying “Umm” emoji! Is it this one?:confused: Maybe not: looks more like a Mona Lisa So, So Smile? Maybe this one?🙄

:D:D:D😉
 
I'm late (maybe last) on parade today with a 4.2 from this morning. Not another 5 but 4 in a row would have been asking a lot and not unhappy with a 4. Rather that side of 5 than the other because DP sharp kicks in to increase it.

@Lanny You just made my day, seeing you back here posting. We have missed you so much. I wondered if you had maybe won some big online golf tournament and emigrated with the prize money!! Are you still playing?
It must be worrying for you and your family, business wise, in the current climate. Hope you are able to keep afloat.

@merrymunky Well done on your House Special. That is certainly an achievement considering your wayward levels recently. Hope you aren't too uncomfortable..... not long to go now!

@Michael12421 Hope you are feeling better now. Wish I could get away with eating pralines.... but then I would never manage to stop at just one!

Yes, I am: just qualifying for another tournament this week; won a long string of medals now!:D

We haven’t started yet & it’ll be a long time yet IF we do. Another close family member, my sister in law, has Cancer & just had a tumour removed Mid March 2020 just before the Lockdown, recovering at home & shielding now.

Great news that the golf is going strong. Sorry to hear about your Sister in law but hopefully the surgery will prove successful. It must be a relief that she got sorted with it before things got silly. Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery.
Good to hear that you don't have business worries to add into the mix,
Look forward to reading your daily updates here again.
 
04:22 BS 8.8. Better! 🙂 Considering a bit of DP: awake, by alarm, at 23:49 to be in the tesco online queue to book delivery for 3 weeks ahead; doesn’t mean I get a slot & I didn’t this time. Frustrated emoji! Each night at midnight the slots are released for that day 3 weeks ahead & people are already queuing before then as it takes so long to get to the front! 😱 It usually takes me until Friday or Saturday after queuing every night from the start of the week. 😱 So far, managed to get deliveries roughly a week apart since this Lockdown but, just had a gap of 10 days by the time I got my order last Friday. There’s going to be a bigger gap now as it’s been over a week of queuing every night & still haven’t got a slot so, could be a gap of 14 days for the next order. I just order more to cover any gaps. 🙄 If I need to I’ll order more onto my booked slot for 08/05/20 as tomorrow’s queue will be for 20/05/20! o_O Couldn’t get back to sleep so, giving in now & going to have breakfast!

A very Early Good Morning to you all & have a day full of Sunshine inside & maybe outside?😉😎
 
5.1 this morning. 🙂
Weather's turning cold and rainy again. Better make the most of it and get outside now while it's still dry. 🙄

@Lanny Have you tried using Asda (if they deliver in your area). They are very good and if you check them shortly after midnight you can usually get a delivery slot within 7-8 days.

Stay safe and well everybody.

Morning,
5.8 this morning.
Hmm looks a bit damp outside, early exercise I think and then the ordeal of Aldi today or tomorrow.
Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning. An unexpected 6.4 as I went to bed on a 9.4! But I held my nerve and didn’t do a correction hoping I still had some NovoRapid swimming about. It’s that pesky rice stuff, does it every time. Damp here, we have actually had some rain it seems. Don’t think it was enough to fill the water butt and the pond up though. So what’s going on in the Eggy household today? I hear you ask. A big, fat nowt! I really need to get an indoor hobby, but you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I’ll stick to my books I think. Have a safe day and I hope you get a delivery slot @Lanny.

As I’m shielding, apparently I can register as a clinically extremely vulnerable person and get priority on the supermarkets delivery slots, but I have plenty of family to do my shopping and would rather someone who didn’t got mine. I also don’t need the food parcel that I’ve heard you get, not sure if that’s a local thing or country wide. Although I know on my medical records I fill the criteria for the above, I don’t feel it and won’t be registering. I don’t like labels.🙂
 
Morning all my reading today is 7.0 so back up again :(
 
Morning

Looked out the window yesterday and was like a children’s playground, at least 7 kids out there mingling and mucking about on their bikes, only 3 of the group being from the same household, still there a few hours later with the older children sticking their hands in their mouths without a care in the world, adults aren’t much better either gathering from all round the scheme and having wee chats & laughs, I don’t even feel comfortable enough to pop out for some fresh air so today marks 7 weeks since I’ve been stuck in and really starting to want to cry that they just don’t care about anyone

Anyways I expect my Superdrug & Savers orders at some point today although the email states they should arrive by Saturday the 2th May, yes that really is what it said I didn’t type it wrong!

5.5 for me after a glucose chew for a low 4 at 6am, call into Roche this morning to ask for 3 replacement pots of test strips, start new sensor later, wash my hands a hundred times, all fun and games :(
Xx
