Group 7-day waking average?

Congratulations @Northerner.

5.8 this morning after a hypo in the night. Change in weather again. I really should learn.

Birthday celebration for OH today. Made bunting for the garden, along with a few other things.
Birthday cake, champagne, and a curry this evening. I shall just have to do the best I can with levels today, as it is his day and his favourites.

@Bloden my middle finger won’t straighten now and if I make the mistake of bending it too far it won’t come back up without assistance. This will be the fourth finger that I will have had the op on.

I was 3.8 before bed last night so I glad a biscuit as I was worried I was too low, woke up to 7.0 Was this the correct thing to do?

Absolutely sensible to lift your level. You don’t want to go to sleep on a 3.8.
Now you know that whatever biscuit you had lifted you a little higher than you wanted, so change to one of lower carbs. I use jelly babies as I can easily adjust the number, or parts, to get exactly the number of carbs I need, and they will work quickly so I can get to sleep.
 
7.1 today for me :( , off to Sainsbury’s in a little while, let’s hope I can get everything this week. . Been busier at work this week thank goodness, the day is not so long. VE street party tomorrow that should be nice, waving at a distance of course. @Michael12420 hope you are feeling a little better today. @KARNAK where are you, we do worry about you.
Take good care everyone, lovely day here, hopes yours is too x
 
Morning all, 3.8 here. Forgot I'd lowered basal this week, and gave myself the extra half unit last night.
Came in from the garden yesterday to find a missed call on the phone, and a text message from my GP asking me to make a telephone appointment to discuss my medication. Don’t know what this is about, I had my review in January. Rang the surgery, and the Doctor will ring 'this afternoon' Receptionist couldn’t be more specific than that! So bang goes my planned walk.
 
Good grief @SB2015! Is that a record? :(

Morning folks.:D 9.1 here...oops, my fault.😛

Back in my office today to do my last uni assignment - a presentation about ‘Catalan, a survival story’.🙂 So interesting (to me)!
 
Morning all, 8.5 for me today. Found out yesterday that I've got tomorrow off work, which gives me a 3 day weekend. This also mean I can enjoy our social distancing VE day street party.
 
Morning

Did yet another Superdrug order yesterday, I’m VERY fussy with my mouthwash and only use Dentyl Fresh Clove, usually get it from Savers but obviously it’s in the other town, every time I checked Superdrug it’s always been “Only available to order & collect, check store availability” well obviously I don’t have a Superdrug so when I checked yesterday and it was available for deliver I jumped right on it, also ordered 2 different tubes of Palmer’s hand cream and 1 pack Dove soap to get me over the £10 for free delivery, Bruce turned up with my shopping with 2 different kinds of hand creams from Lidl too, an SOS one and one with chamomile so will try those too, would prefer if they did the job as they are only 79p each!

Anyways its a 6.0 for me this morning

@Northerner do you cover your sensor? I'm thinking about braving it uncovered but undecided yet, I have another one that's failed on day 8 so I'll have to call that in later and hope they replace it, nothing as crazy as your failed one though!

@Bexlee no not yet, it's today the MIL is supposed to be going through to the other town so fingers crossed!

Stay safe and well folks
xx

No I don't cover them. I did buy some tegaderm last year because I'd had a couple drop off and one come loose towards the end, but I seem to have cracked that now and they've all been absolute b*ggers to prise off! This one was a complete puzzle :confused: I always put them on my left arm now and I think that may be helping in my case - I broke my right arm quite badly just below the shoulder years ago and so that arm is slightly wasted compared to my left because I had it in a huge cast for 12 weeks and couldn't move it 😱 :(
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I regained consciousness on 5.1. Fair enough, I suppose. It’s just accurate jelly babying before bed. Good game, mind.

I was awakened at some uncivilised hour (7.25), a phone call from Tesco to tell me that my priority delivery, scheduled between 10.00 and 18.00 would likely occur between 17.00 and 18.00.

Well, nice of them to phone, but just because they were busy sorting out their schedules doesn’t mean everyone is up and about. I did get back to sleep, though, logging up my 9 hours of regeneration.

Mind you, if that‘s the sort of thing is all I’ve got to worry about, life must be easy. You can always find the positives in everything, if you try.🙂

Enjoy the day, I’ll spend it on the balcony in the sunshine thinking great thoughts. More likely reading other folks’ great thoughts🙄

I'll be putting a fresh one on after a long shower tomorrow morning so I'll try without a patch and hope it lasts as I'm fed up of having a patch of Tegaderm on permanently :( I still alternate arms xx
 
6.4 for me this morning. Not as exciting as yesterday's result but it's in range so I'll happily take it.

@Northerner Congrats on your House Special. I too am having restless sleep and weird dreams at the moment. It is without doubt a sign of the times.

@Michael12421 Not sure how sarcastic your post was intended to be but hope the sleep between bathroom visits was restful and you are feeling a bit better today.
