Group 7-day waking average?

On the back of my stinking cold which arrived yesterday this morning I’ve had a 6.0 and also put weight on!
It’s obviously something to do with the cold and I’m confident it’ll revert to normal once it’s been dispatched. Similarly I’m not too fussed by the minor hiccough in weight loss because, if there’s one thing having diabetes has taught me it’s that the body is a mysterious and complex thing.
 
6.9 today after a KFC yesterday, oh well I enjoyed it. Hot again today and not so windy. Hubbys inversion table arrived yesterday - not quite sure what to say about that except it takes up a lot of room - time will tell if he gets any benefit from it.
Have a good day all x
 
Well it's a 7.2 here for me
 
06:23 BS 8.6 Umm! A bit disappointed by that but, not REALLY surprised! 🙄

After reducing yesterday’s midday Levemir the rest of my readings after lunch & dinner were a bit hIgher but, I expected that! When midnight Levemir went in BS 9.3: knew I needed 8 units Novorapid to drop that by 4mmol but, yesterday actually another 0.6; so, tried 6 units instead to be on the safe side!🙄 Well, what a big difference 2 units less has made: it wasn’t really an experiment but, it HAS reconfirmed that I do indeed need 2 units per mmol I want to drop if I need to correct at that time; seems to be when I’m most resistant, even more so than in the morning!o_O

All yesterday was very dark, grey, wet & chilly! Shivering emoji! Spent most of the day with the heater on set to 18C!

I watched a lot of stuff on BBC iPlayer. I watched both episodes of the new programme by Michelle Visage, from last year’s Strictly Come Dancing, doing a weekly show filmed at home with her family during CV Quarantine in the US, “How’s Your Head Hun?”, & it was really funny! I then watched Miranda Hart’s comedy programme “ Miranda” & found that funny too! I’m not usually one for watching comedy as I find most of it misses the mark with me: dumb humour is definitely a no, no; dirty humour CAN be even worse & too smutty! My nephews have said before I’m more into witty stuff than actual comedy! But, “Miranda” I found to be so touchingly realistically funny & so very much like she, Miranda Hart, herself! I only watched 2 episodes last night & then, HAD to know the ending so, watched the end of the last episode & “Yes” she gets her happy ending & I can watch the rest of it patiently now!:D😛

Today seems to be another day of dark, grey & chilly again so carry the Sunshine on the inside to keep you warm & I wish you all, a bit later than usual for me, a Good Morning! 😉 Have a lazy, easy Sunday folks!😉
 
Morning all. :D Snap @Northerner, 5.8 for me too.

What a week! Two birthdays, wind n rain, and...well, that’s about it really.😛

Sorry to hear you’re struggling @Kaylz. :( I know it’s not much, but can you go for a little walk? Being outside always makes me feel good.
 
Morning

Everything on my shopping list yesterday, Bruce was successful in obtaining, even those antibacterial surface wipes! Absolutely shocked! His mum managed to get me 2 packs of my digestive biscuits from Tesco too and the only thing my dad’s GF couldn’t get from Asda was the Chinese 5 Spice, I’ll have to see if Bruce’s mum will get some at Tesco next week, its not even for me its for my mum!

He did a load of washing and most of it was pretty much dry so that’s all good, went down with another load last night, can’t wait till the new one arrives and we wont have to carry on this way anymore!

@Bloden come Tuesday I'll not have been out the front door in 13 weeks and the thought of leaving for a walk brings me out in a sweat and the shakes, my anxiety and OCD and lack of guideline following by the neighbours has me petrified so although I would love nothing more than getting out for a bit of fresh air and a walk I physically cant put myself through it

Anyways its a 5.0 for me this morning and expecting Bruce up with another load of clean washing later

Have a nice day if you can folks and stay safe
xx
 
Morning all, 4.9 here. Having a quiet day today, I've been out three days running, I mean, not just essential shopping or daily exercise. It felt really odd! First to daughter's for a walk and tea in her garden, then riding, where we can now share a lesson, provided we turn up in separate cars, and yesterday to our son's to do some gardening and have a picnic lunch in the garden. Managed not to get wet on the first two occasions, did some pruning and weeding in the rain yesterday.
 
Morning all. A very nice 5.6 for me. I started lowering my basal two nights ago, so must be working. Like @Robin I've had a busy week so staying home today, well, may have a wee walk if weather stays fair. It’s not looking hopeful! Have a good day. 🙂
 
A 6.1 for me this morning. Went to look at small cars yesterday to find a replacement for mine. Not sure what to get, am rubbish at these types of decisions. Have been watching various programmes with Alice that have been recommended as tasters for her A level choices. We watched the Good Place for Philosophy and Ethics and last night, Brain on Fire based on a true story of a young reporter for Psychology.
 
Morning all 4.0 for me.

Feeling so achey and old after falling off a pavement, time for some gentle wandering around at home with a duster moving things from one place to another then putting them back . I need a new non scary series for Netflix consumption.

I hope you have a pleasant day out there.
 
Morning all,
Late on parade this morning with a 6.3 first thing.
Will read back later.
Upped my weekend run from 5k to 5 miles, see how that goes.
Just logging in to virtual church...

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all, 8.2 for me today. Reading and colouring planned for today.
@Flower designated survivor is a good series on Netflix.
 
Delighted to report a 4.8 this morning which is a relief after my string of 10s. Didn't increase my basal but changed my eating. Had no breakfast and a low carb brunch of egg salad and then at tea time I was really naughty and had a custard doughnut.... bought a pack of 5 for my partner and got tempted. Guessed about 40-50 g carbs and shot myself 6 units to include a correction. Have to say it was so disappointing, I will not be tempted again, but my reading was down to 5.3 at bedtime having been out for a late walk up to the horses and no other food. Had a multigrain biscuit (3g) with cheese (and half a small glass of wine) to bring me up a bit before bed and my 8 units of Levemir.... great result this morning!
 
Ouch, @Flower, poor you. IS there anything non-scary on Netflix? :D
 
Relieved by being back down to 9.2 today, if not the circumstances.

After yesterday started with a 14.0, I ate nothing until a pain-au-chocolate around 1pm, as I needed to eat it before it went off. When I did my evening fasting reading over five hours later it was 15.1! So later in the evening I had a few peanuts as the "food" to go with my tablets, but that ended up being all I ate in nineteen hours!
