Group 7-day waking average?

Morning ev1. 🙂 A cute little 4.0 on the Libre.:D

Wow, the new windows are FAB! And white. And clean. The old ones were nicotine-stained and ancient. Gwen didn’t warm to the fitters and spent the day growling from her bed, hahaha. Daft dog!😉😛

Hope you’re feeling better today @Hazel.
 
Morning

Seems like it might be a nicer day today than we got yesterday, was dull, wet and cold and even had to put the heating on for an hour in the afternoon!

Anyways its a 6.4 for me

Have a nice day folks and stay safe
xx
 
5.3 for me as well today. 🙂
Another grey and wet day here again.

Stay safe and well.

A 7.4 for me this morning. Yesterday's lessons were so bad - we had Spanish where the sound was so quiet you couldn't do the listening exercises and could barely here the rest of the instructions. We had to shut the window and lie with our heads next to the lap top. Next the most boring lesson if chemistry ever. The school have been making the teachers record themselves, rather than just sending worksheet and in this case, this was not an improvement. The teacher managed to sound both angry and bored and the whole lesson was on an experiment we can't do cos not in school. Instead we looked at a diagram of it and the task was to write a risk assessment for it. Next was maths where they use a programme called maths watch. I won't even try to tell you how irritating this is to use. We gave up and didn't do the design lesson which was about metalwork which we can't do cos we are at home so you can do research on what other designers have done....
Fortunately today I have a zoom meeting at half ten with my team at work (for fun, not work) and then we are round a neighbour's garden for birthday tea this afternoon. So room for only one or two lessons I hope
Have a wonderful day all
 
Morning all it’s a 6.0

Beautiful sunny morning here, I’m going to brave an upright (hopefully) walk today.

Best wishes @SueEK I hope your day goes smoothly. Glad your new windows are fab @Bloden they make everything so sparkling.

Have a good day out there.
 
A 9.8 after a one of those hypos in the night that went on and on and on..., even though I was definitely chewing the JBs. I lost patience and obviously overtreated the last one. I think I walked further yesterday and was feeling very pleased with levels in target all through and managed to guess the carbs at a meal afterwards. A lovely day and then forgot to TBR afterwards.

Please avoid encounters with any kerbs, grating, ... @Flower

A slower day today. Scones and coffee in the garden after ‘pilates’ (I started so well and now am not quite so disciplined).

Have a good day all.

And it’s a 6.7 from him, a bit disappointed after good readings yesterday in the 5’s all day

I wouldn't be disappointed, it may be higher than what you were yesterday but still in range and perfectly acceptable, many would be overjoyed with that reading xx
 
I still have not written to my G.P., even though I was going to do it at the weekend after giving up on waiting for a shielding update. I have no excuses at all now, but I still am struggling on how to express myself, and so the easy part of saying I am worried about my diabetes is waiting on that.

I did not eat much last night, which is probably why this morning was an 8.9. So close to the temporary target of being in the 9s.
 
The alarm went off at 7.30 and my Libre said 5.1..... if it had said 5.2 I would have got up and claimed an HS of course 😉 but I turned over and went back to sleep and it was showing 4.3 on the Libre when I eventually got up, so that is my reading for today.
Really interesting how my readings continue to drop through the night until I get out of bed and get going. I have reduced my night time basal insulin to half of what it was and still dropping! Ate an hard boiled egg with a bit of mayonnaise as soon as I got up to try to prevent DP but it didn't work and I still had to inject 2 units NR an hour later.

@Michael12421 Not good! Hope you are feeling better now. I too am needing less insulin overnight and heading low before I wake up. Time to dial the Toujeo down a(nother) unit I think. Probably the heat of summer.
 
My thank to @Blodand @Northerner.
Still felling rough. Had a phone consult with GP at 11 am, give.n I had not had a strange Chinese, or any such thing, she has put it put to a vial viral gastroenteritis. Call from Boots ar at 1.30 to say meds were ready. Anti sick ness pills and Omeprazole for the acid reflux. To call back Thur/Fri if no marked improvement. Concerned as I live alone no family. I have a real good friend bless her, who texts me all through the day.
So been out, a bit unsteady, got meds, all sorted. Ate a banana before I went out, so far stayed down, just had some water, she was most insistent I should try and keep fluids up.
So, I think the worst is past, please God.
See you tomorrow

Sounds like things have been really rough for you Hazel, I really hope the worst is passed and you start feeling better. Those PPIs for reflux are brilliant, at least I have found so. Hope you have a good evening and lovely sleep tonight x

Drink lotsa water @Hazel. Got to keep hydrated when you’ve got a stomach bug. Glad to hear you’re eating again. :D

Thanks @Bloden a wee bit at a time. For 3 days there I had no interest in food or drink as I knew it would come straight back up. Just had a small bowl of cereal and milk, cos I was starving
 
@Hazel Good to hear you have managed some food and it sounds like (fingers crossed) you are over the worst. Sending virtual hugs.
