Group 7-day waking average?

04:31 BS 5.7 🙂

Moan alert! Skip entirely if you wish below the ****** section?

*********************************************************************************************************************************
Now that the AB’s are finished I’ve given it some thought to how I’m feeling especially, since I needed to order more insulin again, just Novorapid as Levemir stocks are ok, & I usually give my GP’s a progress report on the online order form!🙄 Generally I DO feel a bit better overall but, STILL not completely over it: breathing is still a bit short with exertion, tire easily & my heart rate is still elevated all the time; why some hypos have crept up on me by surprise as my heart rate is fast anyway so, it takes me longer to differentiate the even faster rate when hypo!😱 My neuropathy has started up again, gentle intermittent tingles at first the last few days but, yesterday has become more or less constant: I’ve fought to stop my BS from being too high but, they’ve been elevated overall for too long now; ironic that my BS is starting to fall now even with reducing insulin doses! I’ve had to put the heater on more or less all the time at 21c as that helps with the cold tingles on my legs, at first, & now arms too: right side only, at first, & both sides now but, less on the left! Squeezed that info in, limited number of characters allowed, & asked if I need more AB’s?:confused: I hope that as my BS IS finally dropping, becoming easier to keep it in range, the neuropathy symptoms will ease too? 🙄

Oops!😳 Didn’t know I was going to moan so, better stick a warning at the top; back in a mo!🙄
*********************************************************************************************************************************

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!🙂 A bit of a Mona Lisa smile, admittedly but, I’m making the effort to give one nonetheless! Trying to keep in mind Scarlett O’ Hara’s immortal words “ Tomorrow is another day”, or in this case today & hopefully things will get that bit better? Can JUST about manage my usual😉 now & hope you all have a better day than me!

Good morning 🙂 5.8 for me today 🙂 A bit disappointed yesterday - I had an ASDA delivery and they forgot to deliver my milk, he must have left it on the van :( I tried calling customer service, but they were unable to contact the branch so I had to settle for a refund :( I'm now debating whether to venture out to the Coop and buy some or mange with the powdered milk I have in my tea and coffee until the next delivery.
 
Morning all, 7.2 today. Stressful day yesterday, sooo busy in London it’s scary. Got dropped off at the usual place and couldn’t find the hospital I needed, was hot and upset and LOST. Roads blocked off, building works, road works and traffic jams, how does anybody manage in London. Anyway eventually found it, MRI was fine (35 mins) and then home again 6 hrs 40 mins later, phew don’t think I need to go again for a while.
Apparently I am returning to the main surgery as from next week so masks and gloves ready, will be spending a lot of time in my office I think.
Caravan site is open from next Saturday so that’s it we will be off down there for a couple of weeks, Pagham instead of Tenerife but I’m fine with that.
@Hazel hooe you are feeling brighter today
@Lanny hope you feel better soon.
Have a good day.
 
Morning all,
A 6.0 this morning, beautiful day and an early run planned before it gets too warm.
Had a lovely garden visit with friends yesterday and their garden is very large and in the middle of nowhere.
Amazing how tired you can get coming back home after all that fresh air.
We put a gazebo up in ours so as to give a bit of respite later.

A zoom church members meeting tonight, that's a first!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Good Morning All,

the score on the door for me today is 8.0

oops
 
5.0 pour moi this morning.
Absolutely nothing in the calendar today but may go and surprise my folks later. It’ll be the first time we’ve seen each other since lockdown started.
 
Morning all. 😛 7.5 here...oops, too many JBs at 3am.😉

What a pain @Flutterby. o_O Not exactly confidence- and knowledge-building. Roll on the holidays.

Moana Lisa @Lanny hahaha...you make me laugh...sorry to hear your neuropathy’s causing you gyp though.:(

It’s hot already! Quick, dogs, we need to go out NOW.😎😛
 
Morning

Really struggling with my OCD at the moment to the point I'm trying to clean the sink and taps every time, I don't know how much more I can take and I'm crying myself to sleep pretty much every night, then waking up from nightmare related to it in a panic

Anyways 7.1 this morning and looking like it might actually be a nice warm day, yesterday started well but turned dull, wet and chilly by mid morning so had the heating on for an hour in the afternoon again 😱

Have a nice day and stay safe
xx
 
Good morning chums

6.3 this morning

Thanks everyone for your kind messages. Pleased to report looks like the the worst is over. Able now to eat a little at a time without throwing up.
Nothing cooked yet. My midriff is so sore from, I assume, throwing up, but that will pass.

Have a good day people
 
Good Morning everyone
@Hazel Glad your on the up.
@Lanny Hope you feel back to normal soon.
@SueEK Sounds like you had a horrendos day, but as you say hopefully you won't have to go through it again.
9 for me this morning. Tried porridge yesterday, BS went up by 6 and stomach felt awful for ages after, so definately a NO NO for me. Jobs to be done by 10am then relax relax relax.
Best Wishes to everyone
 
Good morning everybody. Reporting a 5.5 for me today. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Gone super low carb again to help loose some more weight and ... 4.1 🙂
 
Afternoon everyone. I slept in until 8.30! Had a hot and sticky night. Anyhoo, a 6.9 for me. Had a long, almost 8 miles, hot and strenuous walk late yesterday afternoon. Had 3 JBs half way, got home at 7 and was 4.8. Tea was lamb chops, the magic, non carb homegrown tatties and ratatouille. We had also planned on cheese and crackers for after, so after much deliberation, injected 2 units of NR at 7.20 and ate at 7.30. 11.30, BGs 4.7! One slice Tesco seeded and peanut butter, 20 grms of carbs before bed. Think it worked although had hoped I would be lower as I’m up so late. Going to be a scorcher today, not sure what we are doing but do know it won’t be a 8 mile walk! Have a super sunny day and don’t forget the sunscreen. 🙂
 
Morning all it’s a 6.0 for me.

Glad you’re feeling better today @Hazel. That sounds a stressful day @SueEK .

Having new curtain poles & curtains put up today they were ordered so long ago it’ll be a surprise to see what I chose!

Have a good day out there🙂
