Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 6.1 here. Planning a walk just with OH today, but from next week, we will be able to meet up with our son half way between us and his and go for a walk with him. Haven’t seen him since mid -March. What’s the betting the weather breaks by next weekend?
 
6.3 this morning - off out for a walk!
 
8.6 for me. Not too bad after homemade sourdough pizza. All three of our vehicles have broken down. The clutch had gone on my car - it went as I drove into the hospital carpark with Alice for an appointment. I rang the RAC at 3 pm and finally got home at 9 pm without the car. My husband's car battery is not holding charge so won't start. Tried to take our campervan out yesterday but the engine overheated and lost all the water and then just stopped in the middle of the road. So sorting out vehicles today.
 
Hello everyone.
5.9 this morning.
I've been off line for a few days, but good to be back again and hear how your all getting on.
Looking forward to a 'garden' meet up with my daughter as per the new guidelines.

Crikey! That was QUITE a day for you! 😱 Hope it’s less stressful for you today getting that sorted!🙄
 
Morning all it’s a 6.3, that’ll do.

Stayed up until 12.30 am to try and get a shopping delivery slot as I can’t see to drive and my leg’s in a cast- it’s only the second slot I’ve managed since Covid hit! Put a load of random items in to meet the minimum price & a reminder on calendar to amend order- I’ve got until June 25th so no rush!

Off on a clockwise walk today, hope you’re all doing ok🙂
 
Well, it is a 3.8 for me this morning after a lovely midnight walk and spending some time in the field with my horses when there are no flies and it is a comfortable temperature.
My readings have been high for the past week, partly down to stress, so my slightly low morning reading is not unwelcome. I really enjoy going out for a walk through the night. It is like you have the whole world to yourself..... very peaceful! There was an interesting, very red tinged crescent moon last night which failed to provide much light for my navigation of the tree lined old railway line footpath, but it was pretty. And I caught up with a milkman delivering door to door and managed to buy 4 pints off him so that saves me a trip to the shops today... think he was a bit non-plussed being accosted by a strange woman at that time of the morning, but he was very pleasant and I rather wished I had asked him to make a regular delivery to my partner's house as it is times like this that it is good to support small local businesses and you appreciate such a service.

Anyway, hope everyone has a good day.
Great to see a decent reading today @Michael12421
@Lanny Take care of yourself. Plenty of sleep is important to keep your immune system as strong as possible, so hope you didn't stay up too late playing golf .... pot calling kettle here 🙄 By the way, how did it go. Hope you made the next round. Sounds like you have a good plan to keep on top of your levels. Show this virus who's boss.... almost feel sorry for it taking you on! 😉

Thanks: no worries there about that as I can only manage 3 holes at a time; did another 6 in two goes & a wee snooze in between! 🙄 Have another 6 holes to go & I’m still 1 shot lower, better, than Q1!:D I’ll continue plodding & get it finished eventually: think I have enough time: actually the 2 days DOSEN’T mean a long wait of over a day when I finish THIS time; need that extra day now!🙄

Glad to hear you enjoyed your midnight walk!😎 I used to love that peaceful walk home from after our family restaurant had closed: past midnight weeknights & 1/2am at the weekend; no one else around & EVEN better on clear Winter nights when I’d look up at the stars!😛

Edited to add:- Oh forgot. -16 for 12 holes: going nicely!:D

Expensive problems @stephknits, battery bad enough, clutch a lot worserer, campervan,😱😱😱 maybe.😡 From experience I know the cost but do not know your vehicles, so cost would depend on the individual vehicle. You can register with the RAC as a vulnerable person just by being a T1 and you need Insulin and food at certain times of the day same goes for Alice, the response times will be dramatically increased, hope your bank balance stays intact.
 
What on earth has been happening @Lanny? I can`t leave you for 5 minutes and your back in hospital, not happy with the treatment you have received 😡. So glad you are home now please be careful and rest as much as you can as others have said, not too much golf now unless you can get that elusive hole in one or is it a 5.2? not sure. {{{HUGS}}} for more to come later.😳😳😳
 
@KARNAK You are not up to date Ted.... it is albatrosses now which are the ultimate achievement!

I agree with you that Lanny's hospital treatment sounds a bit shoddy...No wonder they haven't got a clue how to deal with this virus when there is so little data being gathered. Surely people attending hospital with potential symptoms should be tested! To be told she doesn't have it without a test and sent home with ABs only to return a few days later and told she probably does have the virus but still not tested and sent home again, just seems ludicrous, like they don't really want accurate figures on the virus and makes you wonder if this is how figures are being manipulated. Isn't this how it spread into care homes! How many people is this likely to be happening to. Surely all people presenting at hospital with symptoms should, at the very least, be tested for the virus and given a proper result.
There is another thread where the percentage of people with symptoms not self isolating for 7 days is reported to be very high (about 50% I think) but I am sure people would take it a lot more seriously if they were tested and told they had it.

Thanks Karnak, yup am fearing the worse with the campervan. We love it dearly and it is in great nick apart from this latest disaster. Should have stopped earlier, but knew we had no other vehicle to pick us up, had Alice with me and it was very hot. Did not want to deal with RAC again. When I rang them I told them I had Alice with me and we were both type 1. I rang on the hour for an update, they never gave me one in the 6 hours I waited. I then waited the next day to recover the vehicle from 9am until 5.30, again with them never updating me. At least I was waiting at home. My car is not worth fixing. Can't really think about it all at the minute .
 
5.6 this morning.

SAY RATTLE and spread only love and kindness.

Good morning. 3.8.
Had a very satisfying day yesterday. I had broken my glasses a week ago, just one of the ear pieces but yesterday optician fixed it - no charge not even a charity box there so that I could throw a couple of €'s in. Went across the road to my little mini-market and got a few things but decided to place a huge order for the really heavy stuff I can't carry, dog food in bulk, but also 300 litres of lager now that summer is here and that amount lasts me a year, Then my friend Pablo called me to say that he will come one morning next week to try and fix my car, the battery is flat. Then I can get my overdue ITV (MOT) done and then drive to Ubeda and ram raid Aldi for the many things I am out of and can't get in this small village.

29/05/20 22:20 BS 10.0 :confused: So, so smile again! About the same as yesterday. Had to keep upping doses again & only knew the Levemir doses are right, 22 midnight & 42 midday, as when not eating my BS is holding steady around the 10mmol mark. Still no ketones as yet! FINALLY this morning’s after eating, with 38 units Novorapid, is at 30/05/20 06:19 BS 10.8!🙂 So, I’ll hold that dose & hopefully now I can REALLY start to get the sugars down!🙄

Will be going to bed soon in the next 2/3 hours after I get my golf results at 08:00 & a nice bath before turning in! I finished the last 6 holes in two sessions of 3 each & finished on -25 for 18 holes & currently in 45th: still 6 to finish & only the top 50 make it to the final; I hope I make it? Fingers crossed emoji!

I had a HERCULEAN effort just now changing my bedding: only did half of it too in 4 goes with rests in between for my breathing to calm down, slightly easier & faster to get back to normal, & my heart rate to go down, MUCH harder, slower & never got it to back down to normal, would have taken AGES; only changed the fitted sheet & pillows with a summer weight quilt/throw as I couldn’t face doing the duvet in the end! Absolutely exhausted, dripping in sweat, tired out emoji!😱 But, it was worth it!:D LOVE that feeling of fresh clean bedding: was lazy last week & didn’t change it; in hindsight I should have made the effort as bedding can harbour normal cold/flu viruses when ill & I feel better knowing my bedding is clean now!😛

A very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

Edited to add:- Ah! That’s how long it took for my heart rate to calm down to normal again: just finished & lying down on the bed, took my after eating reading, 06:19, & started to compose my post; heart rate more or less normal now!🙄
 
My BG levels rise in the evenings, I’m about 4.5 to 6 during the day but up to 7.5 or so at night and again in the morning
I have two BG meters and took 2 readings today
1 said 7.2 and the other 7.6 how accurate are these things
I need to try to keep lower in the evenings
Have a great day it’s a warm Saturday
