Group 7-day waking average?

6.4 this morning. Accompanied by a very noisy cat who is protesting at some invisible something. He’s got clean litter tray, full water bowl and full food bowl. I’ve been playing with him and have groomed him but he’s decided to be a noisy sod this morning for some reason best - oh no! Scratch that! He’s now decided to curl up on his chair and go to sleep. Contrary fluffy sod!
 
Morning

Bruce popped up to drop some clothes off for me yesterday, just some looser sleeved stuff that was down at his, my dad dropped some shopping off to me at night only things missing was my chilli & coriander prawns and 2 unsweetened almond milks, did yet another Superdrug order later last night as they had my toothpaste available for delivery, weather was brutal yesterday afternoon, a short snow flurry followed by heavy hailstones lasting around 20 minutes

Anyways a 5.8 for me today

Well we're still on full lockdown up here and still have the stay home slogan but I'll just say Stay Safe to you guys
xx
 
Morning all, brighter but chilly. A nice 6.2 this morning, happy with that as I made a spectacular steak and ale pie for tea last night. Crispy short pastry, no soggy bottoms in this house, nice juicy filling. It was blooming good even if I say so myself, and I got my bolus spot on for it.
Last night clarified one thing, daughter number two’s wedding won’t be going ahead in July. We always had hope but deep down knew it probably wasn’t going to happen. Now the palaver of cancelling and rebooking everything for next year. The only problem is, so is everyone else! Stay alert everyone! That’s one of those words the more you say it the dafter it sounds, a bit like the slogan! 😉
 
8.8 this morning, and not a good line on Libre.
Realised cannula has been in for three days.
Simple solution.

Sunny again. A surprise after we had to wrap up last night for our walk.
I wonder how much of their time was taken up deciding on their new slogan, rather than working out some practicalities!! What does it mean in practical terms?
 
07:53 BS 9.2. Could be worse! :confused: Supposedly that’s a confused emoji but, to me, looks like a Mona Lisa, half smile so, so emoji! Boy! Did I suffer the whole day yesterday!😱 The grey ish cloud cover trapped all the pollen & my breathing was SO bad: ended up taking both sets of inhalers with 4 puffs each to get relief; also took them 3 times instead of the usual 2 as I got bad in the middle of the day! Stayed in bed all day as breathing wasn’t exactly laboured but, very short & I FELT it on the walk to & from the kitchen for food or the bathroom!😱 All insulin doses had to go up with corrections & it was a battle to keep BS sub 13!😱 I‘d have been REALLY panicking if it wasn’t for this time last year when I was suffering at times too: a few months earlier last year & easing by about now; but, lockdown means I’m at home instead of out more like I was last year! And it’s still wet sinuses rather than the dry cough & fever of COVID!🙄

It’s a lovely, bright day again & I actually feel a bit better, less bunged than last night! Breathing is about the same: will take 4 puffs of each again as soon as I’m done posting; takes SO much longer & count them off with my fingers!🙄

Already had half oatcake & half dose Novorapid, from corrections yesterday, now at 16 units: 28 & 2 for higher BS, halved & rounded up by 1 as 1 unit up has no effect & it’s always at least 2 units up to affect my BS; always even number of units & not odd!🙄 And I’ll watch this space to see what my meter says today?

Actually, since composing & typing the above, took a bit of time never having been a fast typer, I’ve noticed my breathing is a wee bit easier & I’ve yet to take my inhalers so, maybe today WON’T be as bad?

Anyways, I wish you all a Wonderful Day & “stay alert” & safe, as we’ve all tried to do, as you can venture out a bit more now!🙄😉:D

I remember the ... errr.... suprise ending.
 
Morning all it’s an 9.7, I forgot to change my pump cannula last night so think my site is complaining.

This is all getting to me right now, I’m terrified of losing my leg without clinic support and so sad not to be able to help my poorly Mum in a different town. I’m lacking my lustre and know everyone is facing their own challenges.

Hope you’re doing ok out there.
 
Well, it's a 6.8 for me this morning. It is in range so I will take it.
After such a fantastic start to my day yesterday, my BG failed to follow it's early promise and despite doing all the right things like drinking plenty of water and more exercise than usual even, it went upwards and I was fire fighting it again. That caused me to take a bit of a nose dive mentally yesterday afternoon which of course did not help, but today is a new day and hopefully it will be better.

@Michael12421 Lovely photo of the dogs snuggled up together. Great to see you have yet another good reading this morning.

@Flower So sorry to hear that you are struggling and so worried about your foot. You are really strong minded getting out for exercise on your crutches everyday. It seems so unfair that you are not getting the support you need when you are doing everything that you can for yourself. Fingers crossed normal service with the NHS will resume soon.
 
5.9 for me this morning, so looks like my lower carb regime is beginning to show results.

Not much sleep last night as there were a couple of foxes howling at each other, and one of them left a 'message in the garden - Ucks.
 
Good morning I`m with @Anitram this morning a very nice HS.🙂 All change weather wise stayed outside as late as I could yesterday but the wind got to much in more ways than one.o_O:D Its the same again this morning haven`t been outside to check the temperature but 22.C inside, how come one hand typing is harder than two hands?🙄

Congratulations @Anitram on HS.🙂

Congratulations on yesterdays HS @rebrascora.🙂

@Flower have you tried contacting the hospital unit that deals with your foot/leg? I`m sure they would look at it as an emergency, take care {{{HUGS}}}.

Hope you have a more comfortable day @Lanny {{{HUGS}}} for you too.

Well folks another day of politicking whatever you do stay safe.🙂
 
Good morning, folks🙂

I woke up on 6.9, which is good. That's what I went to sleep on, dead straight line line overnight. Perfect judgement on evening Levemir dose.😎

What makes it more impressive was that I was furious at the PM's slackening of lockdown. Totally confusing. And Wales and Scotland keep things more or less as they already are. He carefully expounded the 5 tests for easing the lockdown, and having achieved none of them, eased restrictions and told folk to get back to work if they couldn't work from home. That's.to get back to work today. Without any discussion with businesses or the unions. That's no way to run a country. Wish I still lived in Scotland, which is not run by big business.

Anyway, I've just had my Whill Model C wheelchair control unit changed after a safety recall. Not that there was anything wrong with it. Just meant I had to upgrade the remote control App on my phone with a new passcode.The App tells me I've done 49 miles in that wheelchair. That's mainly nipping down to get my paper from the front door each day and going down to the scooter store to switch to the the mobility scooter, and going from Car Park H at Ewood Park to the ground for the footie. Oh, and one Diabetes get together in Manchester.

That's all when life was normal. Now it's just getting the paper. Oh well, this can't last forever. Mind, neither can I:D

Stay safe, folks, ignore this new "Stay Alert" message from this incompetent government, and listen to the advice from Wales, NI, and Scotland. They care about their people.
 
4.9 for me this morning, going through a low patch at the moment. After a couple of months of breakfast giving me hyper buzz and putting me into double figures, now rarely see anything over 8.

MikeyB, all of them are tying themselves in knots because they seem to think that people are so stupid that they have to be told in detail what to do and can only handle three-word slogans. Its what happens when you treat informing the public as no more than a PR issue.
