Group 7-day waking average?

Morning. I’m really late for various reasons which I won’t bore you with. A disappointing 7.3 today. White spaghetti, missing my wholewheat things. Ironing day today. Woo hoo! It’s the little things at the moment isn’t it? Anyways, hope you’re not all up in arms about the insensitive press release re 26% of Covid deaths being diabetic. It gave me a jolt, but not for long, keep calm, keep on dong what you’re doing and stay safe. ( I refuse to say alert!) 🙂

Morning

Well replacement Libre sensor finally showed up yesterday, its been sat in the local ParcelForce depot for at least 2 days mind, also received a delivery of some one shot concentrates from a friend from the mixing group I admin

Kingsmill bread wasn’t too bad and not sure whether I should just stick with it as its more readily available in town than the Hovis, we’ll see, not sure if Lidl do Kingsmill as well but shall get Bruce to check when he’s in on Saturday, would ask my mum but she moans if I ask her to pick me up a loaf as she’s enough shopping apparently, not that a loaf is that heavy! Not that when me & bruce were going out with a backpack and collecting stuff for her along with my own stuff! Anyway rant over for the day, sorry it'll be my 10th week of being stuck in with my mum come Tuesday and I don't know how much more I can take

Anyways 6.5 for me this morning, tis where it was when I went to bed with a digestive biscuit on board last night after a half unit correction with dinner that did basically nothing (was it because I dialled up the extra half unit while the needle was in my leg as I forgot when I was dialling it up before insertion lol) and then some sort of correction with tea that nudged it down nicely

Stay safe folks

I’m jealous Kaylz, I’ve been trying to get wholemeal Kingsmill but have had to settle for Asda’s own (I’m sure they push their own brands on home delivery).

Well a 6.4 this morning but had Chinese last night (I like to live dangerously).

Another day when as Max Boyce says in his brilliant poem, ‘when just the tide went out’. Have a listen on YouTube if you haven’t heard it.

Good morning just, 5.9 on another beautiful day very little wind 22.C outside on the seagulls toilet.😱:D Coastguard are checking surfers to make sure only locals go in the water not that there is much surf up at the moment.🙂 Been to Lidl`s this morning I think the staff have given up on self isolation a lot of the very elderly just don`t seem to get it or don`t care.😡

Well done Amigo I haven`t heard Max for ages, great tribute to NHS & front line workers.🙂

They couldn't say which type was effected most @eggyg, not that it matters. 🙄

Have a good day folks take care, stay safe.🙂
 
Good morning peeps🙂

I woke up on 4.2, which was nice. Strong black coffee and two ginger nuts for brekkie😉

Got a phone call from ParcelForce this morning telling me that my order from Abbott will be arriving this afternoon. It’s weird listening to that odd sing song automated female voice. At least I think it’s automated, either that or they employ an actress to use that odd intonation to make us think ParcelForce are at the cutting edge of technology. 🙄

That order is for 6 sensors. I bet we’re still locked down by the time I order any more. Locked down for the second time when infections spike after Boris has eased things too soon. Anyone up for a £50 bet on that? *

Tesco order arrived yesterday at 7.50, not one substitution. The only alert was a short expiry date on the free range chicken (though it did look as though it had expired a while ago). Same with a pack of lamb mince. No problem, both went into the freezer. And at last they have McVities Dark Chocolate digestives, an essential part of the sophisticated T1’s hypo armoury.😎

Anyway, if you need cheering up, Amazon Prime are showing Horrible Histories Rotten Romans. Very funny, laugh a minute film. No sex, no real violence, and surprisingly historically accurate. Apart from everyone speaking in English, of course.

Have a good day, everyone, and go to work on a bike. Better still, don’t go to work:D

Just to say Lidl don’t do Kingsmill bread here Kaylz but Aldi do.
 
13:10 BS 11.2 :( I don’t feel well today & no longer sure it IS hayfever! Although still not sure it’s CV19 either but, blood sugars are rising fast! Last night reached 15.9 & took a long time to sleep. Dropped off early this morning & only got up sluggishly for my midday Levirmir & meds about 13:15, almost went back to sleep again. Actually now that I think about it, I might have a fever as I’m sitting here with heater on at 18C & still feel cold! Anyway, I’ve phoned my GP to speak to a doctor. Just gone 2pm & just after lunch hour so, receptionist in but, not the doctor yet. Doctor will call me when he gets in. Sorry to worry you & I’m maybe scaring myself but, better to be safe than sorry. Will update after I speak to the doctor.
 
Just spoke to doctor & he says there’s a slight possibility I could have CV19. An ambulance will be coming to pick me up this afternoon to get checked out at a CV19 centre!

Will try & update when I can.

Just gathering all my meds & stuff up ready to go!

I’m scared!

Good luck and all my fingers and toes crossed for a negative result.

It seems to hold fillings better than the Hovis, I used to eat Tesco own but they changed the recipe 4 loaves before lockdown and it wasn't for the better! But we only have a small Tesco petrol station in our town and not sure if they even stock it and it's way up the top of the town

I know they do Hovis & Warburtons at least here but I'll just wait and see, Scotmid less than a minute from the house have Kingsmill but only get deliveries twice a week whereas Lidl is everyday, unfortunately I don't have an Aldi in my town hence why I was struggling to get my beloved bars of 85% Moser Roth :(

@Lanny fingers crossed for you, I hope your ok xx
 
@Lanny Hope and pray you have clarity on your condition and they get to the bottom of it quickly!
 
@Lanny hope all goes well and we await your update xx
 
Quick update, haven’t read any posts, I have phuemonia in both lungs! Worse on left. Just had blood tests for ketones, CV19 etc. No ketones in urine. Waiting in A&E to get admitted for antibiotics in a drip etc.

But I thought we needed ‘lerts’

As you say we simply need to do what we are doing.

Having said that I did enjoy the opportunity to do a socially distanced walk with a friend who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and is having a lumpectomy on Wednesday next week. I sooo want to be able to give her a hug.
