Group 7-day waking average?

A very late posting this morning. Managed to get 5.4 this morning after an attempt to go to bed when I had a reading of 20.5!

I had caught my tubing so assumed it was a cannula issue but that did seem a big leap for just two hours. Then checked my data. I had not done the final step in my Bolus, so had not injected at all. Frustrating as I had refused a biscuit with my coffee and felt virtuous about that until ...... Oh well at least I picked it up and by 1:00 I was back on target.

A hospital (video) appointment this morning has confirmed referral for surgery on my hand.
I shall wait and see what happens with regard timing. It could be a while.

On a more positive note we took delivery of two pepper plants, dropped off by a friend on her walk, which will stay inside until our new greenhouse arrives. We also bought a tray of broad beans on our walk yesterday.

We have soggy weather today so back to my loom.
 
What’s up with your hand @SB2015 ? I’m out of the loop!
I have one finger that has triggered again, and the arthritis in my thumb has flared up which is now very swollen and just will not go down. I am struggling to weave at present, and having to do what I do much more slowly. I have finally given in and was surprised when I got an appointment within two weeks. It might still be a long wait for the op.
 
4.1 this morning. 🙂
Off for a walk in the early morning sun. 😎

Stay safe and well.

Morning all,
A 5.3 again... two days in a row.
The 'Dawn phenomenon' thanks! I have learned something new...
I have niece called Dawn in Oz who volunteers for the Fire and Rescue service out there, she's a bit of a phenomenon 🙂

Well it's another 6.4 here today , looks nice out but i bet it's not Sun is out but i bet it's cool out . hope you all have a good as possible day
 
Morning

Again have waited until after breakfast and am on the laptop to post, Bruce is dropping off some shopping later along with my contraceptive injection prescription, nothing exciting coming just bread, tuna for Bubbles etc, his mum will hopefully be able to pick me up some kit kats at Tesco tomorrow as they are on offer at £1 a pack! Found my earring in no time yesterday, was sitting right in front of the bin so easily gotten

Anyways its a 4.7 for me this morning, frosty but bright outside but of course I'm absolutely sweating as mum has had the heating on :(

Have a safe day my lovelies
xx
 
Good morning - all doom and gloom I'm afraid. less than 2 hours sleep and urine blood red and having to pee every 10 minutes or so. At midnight I decided to call an ambulance but fear of the hospital in these times made me wary so I didn't.
It started 5 days ago but there were difficulties in getting through to the booking number for a 'phone consultation with my doctor - no surgeries are open. Finally got through but he won't call me until tomorrow. I am hoping that I can hold out until then. Given the severity of the infection I thought that my reading this morning would be very high but it was 4.7.
 
Getting a bit bored with the 6.7 number again this morning!
Have been doing the 'right thing' with eating and exercise but as usual dear old Diabetes is unforgiving and takes a long time to forget previous indulgences.
I know I've just got to hang on in there, and it will eventually drop.

Very sorry to hear this Michael :( I hope you can get the help you need very soon and get something that helps clear up the infection {{{HUGS}}}
 
Morning all. A normal 6.5, better then yesterday’s but I am up four hours later! I’m a strange one with my sleeping patterns. Gorgeous sunny day which holds great promise according to the BBC weather app. Think I’ll just lounge on my lounger today. No where else to go. Have a good ‘un and stay safe. 🙂
 
Morning all it’s a 6.0 today.

Beautiful sunny morning over the Cotswolds. Time to get my trainer on and hobble along to my 1980’s playlist- yesterday I shuffled the songs for added interest and got ‘Walk of Life’ followed by ‘Break my Stride’ it was like a subliminal message to keep walking!

Hope you’re all doing ok, I hope you get help asap and things start to settle @Michael12421.
 
Woke to a 4.8 today. Didn’t sleep much last night as I went in for some monitoring as baby had a fairly quiet day yesterday. I wasn’t worried as such but just wanted to check she wasn’t in any distress. She was fine. Not much movement there but heart beat perfect. She went nuts when I got home though at 1am and I was awake at gone 4am again with her wiggling happily. Always best to check though.

Just got to make it to next Tuesday and she will be induced!!

Hope everyone is ok.
