Group 7-day waking average?

A naughty 7 for me this morning but maybe due to the anxiety of having to make a hospital visit today for an essential blood test. It was like a scene from an apocalyptic movie with signs telling you to go home en-route unless your journey was essential (mine was). Nurse met me on a sealed unit fully gowned up with visor and gloves. My temperature was taken and the waiting room was empty. Attendance is by appointment only as this is a very high risk haematology treatment unit.
I wore a mask and touched nothing. I feel for the nurses having to wear all this PPE all day, it’s so hot and uncomfortable.
Glad to be safely back in my pod now. So odd wearing shoes now...will I ever get used to them again? 😳
 
Pleased you could get your test and it all went smoothly, Amigo. Hope the result doesn't mean further horrible treatment.

I got my new batteries for my weighing scales this lunchtime, so the silent Spanish Inquisition starts before showering tomorrow. My sins will be laid out before me in digital, unarguable form. I will bear my punishment silently, too.😎

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!

My morning levels are never a problem. Usually somewhere between 4.6 and 5.3 usually. Usually in the high 4s. It’s later in the day with insulin use that they go silly on me.
 
Afternoon all. Raining but now it's sunny. Yay ... I'm for the garden, transplant my Foxglove seedlings. Couldn't get any blood out this morning but tried again after lunch 6.8 @ 3.42pm. Hope you're all having a good day. The tips will be open soon yay, we're on a roll. Everybody's got complacent, I'm waiting for the backlash!

Don't worry, you are past the point where there should be no problem with the baby when pop out time comes. My daughter recently produced my granddaughter by CS two weeks early after going into early labour two weeks before her booked CS. She came out hungry and weighing 8lbs.Four months old now, and teething. That's sorted with Mother's Saviour, or Calpol as it is better known🙂
 
Well, I managed another 5 this morning at 5.4. Maybe I really have got this diabetes thing cracked! Mind you, my finger tips are taking a hammering to achieve this better control. I'm averaging 10 tests a day. Really hope I can continue to maintain this until my next HbA1c, whenever that might be. And live in hope that I will eventually get Libre but not holding my breath.

Someone will have been a tad disappointed when they received your blue sketchers! But why the heck would someone be wanting pink, sparkly, high heeled sandals in this unprecedented time, I’ll never know!

As if there’s ever a time to have pink sparkly high heels it’s now!

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.

Thanks for that @MeeTooTeeTwo.🙂 & Thumbs up emoji!

After yet another unsuccessful online queuing session with tesco, tried Asda & got a delivery booked for 14/05/20. Phew! Got THAT week sorted out then! Wiping brow in relief emoji! Asda couldn’t keep up with the demand earlier & were only releasing slots 7 days ahead: wasn’t any use to me as I’d already booked slots way past that time from tesco. So, it seems Asda have upped their capacity now!🙄
 
Well kick up the bum morning, my reading is 8 - I’ve never had an 8 first thing before. I totally get it, my diet has been appalling and my next HbA1c is going to be dire. I have had no willpower at all, just carbs, carbs, carbs. Keep saying I need to get a hold of things and think I had better start actually doing it. Finished work for this week hurrah. Off to Sainsbury’s in a while, was quiet this time last week as they have extended the times for nhs workers 7-8 now.
Happy Birthday to Captain Tom Moore, what a lovely man!!
Have a good day all, stay safe x
 
05:57 BS 5.7 Wow! 😱 I’m amazed! I tested just after midnight, after getting my shopping booked, & it was BS 7.7. Then, had my Levemir dose still currently 20 units. I didn’t expect my BS to drop so much!

I’d better test more today as I have a feeling it’s going to be a day of insulin reductions!🙄

The days are SO nice with the sunshine & little, or no clouds, but, the nights are a bit chilly! Last night I actually had to stick the heater on as the cold air was affecting my breathing. My asthma, with the onset of the hay fever season, has been acting up a bit again. If there’s actually 1 good thing about the current COVID19 crisis it’s that it’s making take my inhalers regularly as I have tended to forget my nighttime puffs!🙄

It’s still a bit early to tell what kind of day it is weather wise & the birdies haven’t started chirping yet but, oddly they were throughout the night, intermittently? 🙄 There’s a nest quite near my bedroom window just under my roof & it was the sound of little chicks that, to me, sounds like little short asthmatic chirps! :D I suspect that a rather harassed birdie parent, or two, was kept busy keeping them fed!🙄:D They seem satiated now & the parent/s are having a wee rest?:D

An early Good Morning to you all & may your day be filled with sunshine inside & outside!😉

PS:- I rather miss the old emoji’s: the new ones are rather bland, in comparison, & not as expressive; there IS an exception with this one 😱! THAT one is VERY extreme & sticks out like a sore thumb: it’s the most extreme emoji I’ve ever seen!😱 :D:D😉😎
 
Morning all,
Bright and sunny atm but looks like it has rained overnight...
5.5 for me this morning which I am very happy with as I partook in a share of a 'take n bake' olive bread yesterday. Wasn't sure of the long-term effect because the carb values were way high!

Anyway Happy Birthday Captain Tom !!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all, on this day whatever it is. A disappointing 6.8. Went to bed on a 6.5 after a “ good” tea and a small glass of wine. Had a 9 grm dark chocolate digestive to make sure I didn’t dip. Yet yesterday my BGs were 6.4 after having a “ naughty” tea and going to bed on a 9.5, without a correction! Who knows! Just shows we can be good, bad or indifferent and a lot of the time it doesn’t matter a jot! Never mind, slate wiped cleaned and today is another day....of staying home. Damp and cool again, shouldn’t complain after almost a month of great weather, this is the UK after all, what do we expect? Have a safe day everyone. 🙂
 
4.5 this morning and a monthly average of 5 on the nose. 🙂
I usually have a shower when I get back from my early morning perambulations.
It's raining this morning so I'll have a shower during them as well. :(

Stay safe and well (and dry if you can)

Dez
 
Good morning all my reading is 6.2 for today , hope everyone has the best day possible
 
Morning

Been raining since last night but still quite warm, nae coping well with the fact mum keeps putting the heating on rather than trying a jumper 🙄

Superdrug order arrived yesterday now just Savers one to come, software update on phone last night that took AGES!

Anyways went to bed on a 7.1 but had been running around most of the day so took on a digestive and woke to a 4.7

OCD is VERY bad atm, was dealing with a few things yesterday morning and washed my hands a total of 13 times in 1 hour, I dont know how much more of that I can actually take :(

Stay safe and try and have a nice relaxing day my lovelies
Xx
 
Morning all. :D 4.4 here.

Hoping to finish the pesky essay today. My reward is planting the Bee Bombs that arrived yesterday for my wild flower patch (that is, the area of the garden I can’t be bothered weeding).

Okay okay @eggyg! You’re not a knitter!😛
