Group 7-day waking average?

The general medical service here is excellent it's just that there are no specialist diabetes staff, the nearest one is in Jaen city and he/she has a 6 month waiting list!
 
5.7 this morning for me. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Keeping those carbs super low and .... 4.2 🙂
 
Morning

Well I can already tell it's going to be a long day, dropped my needle on the floor, dropped my pen (thankfully on the sofa) and Bubbles has been yowling and clawing at the living room door since before half 6, he really is stress I don't need atm but Bruce doesn't seem to be moving things along about getting him back down the road, could really do with a break from the c**p from him

Anyways 6.6 for me on this scorching day, no windows open yet so wonder how long I'll be suffering for

Have a nice day folks and stay safe
xx
 
Morning all and a lovely 5.5. Ate pizza last night, I’m not a pizza lover but the girls got Mr Eggy a pizza oven for his birthday and of course he was desperate to use it. We invited youngest and hubby over, as guinea pigs. 3 hours and 3 pizzas later it was deemed a success. I remembered reading on here to split the bolus dose, which I did and I also didn’t pre bolus. Bed on a 6. I’m in no hurry to repeat the experience! Really not my thing but it kept him and son in law happy, chopping wood and stoking fires is a real Boy Scout thing isn’t it? 😉 Have a fab day on what is going to be even more of a scorcher.

To be fair, here in the UK support can vary quite significantly from one hospital to another and even between consultants at the same hospital.... I know the DSNs at my clinic absolutely worship one consultant because he is so progressive and will go beyond the limits for his patients. The other one is OK but more conservative.
I think part of Michael's problem is that he is quite remote/rural and any trip to the hospital is a bit of an ordeal because it is a long journey so it is in part accessing that support which is difficult.

I was living in the Spanish sticks too @rebrascora. You’re right about big differences - in a national survey done a couple of years ago Asturias (where I lived) and Catalonia had the best health services in Spain and Andalusia had the worst! o_O

Morning all. 🙂 4.2 here on the accu chek.

It’s hot hot hot already. 😎
 
I have a jar of coconut oil in the bathroom, it has been there for several years and I do not think I have ever opened it. So now I just use it to tell me whether it really is that hot. This morning it was almost entirely liquid save for a small amount at the very bottom. So it really is that hot.

10.1 today, which is so almost in the nines.
 
8.1 today. I really enjoyed the sewing bee final and shall soooo miss it. Was happy with the result, but tbh would have been with any of them winning. What a thoroughly lovely bit of TV. Hot here already and I have two garden drinking tea dates today. It's a tough life.
I listened to the infinite monkey cage episode on the sun yesterday whilst painting skirting boards and so am happy to be making the most of it and am keeping my eyes peeled for snails.

Dad thought I was the postman and it took mum about twenty minutes before she offered me cake. lol
 
@Kaylz if you open the windows but close the curtains that helps. I’ve got solid wooden shutters here so in the front the window is open but the shutters closed (north facing) but in the back I just have to keep the shutters locked down tight otherwise it’s unbearably hot (direct south facing).

Good morning 13.7 after another day of hypos, purposely made sure I would be high during the night.😎 Back down to 6.2 at the moment checking every hour as advised by DSN, sky is very cloudy with the sun poking its head out now and then temperature is 23.0 C. at the moment.

.
Can I have the recipe for that @Lanny please.?o_O:D

Has anyone heard from @Sally W.?

Hope your washing machine turns up early enough @Kaylz.🙂

Take care folks, stay safe and be kind to all.🙂

@KARNAK Hi Ted! Thanks for asking - my iPad wasn’t working & shop was shut so just picked it up fully repaired. I hope you’re doing OK? & enjoying a bit of breeze by the sea. It’s scorching inland! Look forward to catching up once it’s safe to get around

The problem is my mum, she doesn't like opening windows so as I don't have a TV or anything in my room I suffer just to get some TV and laptop time xx
