Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

8.2 for me today, don't know if it was the 2 biscuits after a whole load of protein for tea or possibly the fact I woke sweating from an OCD related nightmare at stupid o'clock and couldn't get back to sleep :( I hope things start to get easier as I cant deal with this

Have a nice day and stay safe
xx
 
Morning all. 6.5 this morning and a flat line.

I think the storm missed us and we have another hot day.
I was looking forward to some cooler weather.

Planning time in the pond to get out loads of the oxygenators are just multiplying with the heat.
Also trying to catch some of our fish to give to a friend, but they really do not want to move, and two days on we have not managed to catch any.

Enjoy yourselves.

@Bloden sorry I though I'd replied to you yesterday! I haven't spoken to the GP yet, I don't really want to as there isn't much they could do apart from medication at the moment and that's usually the form of antidepressants for OCD which I don't want to take xx

Antidepressants don’t suit ev1. I can understand your reticence. I hope the GP has some other solution up their sleeve.

Morning from misty Pembrokeshire. 🙂 6.2 here after an o/night hypo.

Going to brave some non-essential shops today. Wish me luck!:D
 
Good morning all, still keeping those carbs super low and its .......... a big 4.0 🙂 🙂 😎
 
Morning again. Managed to go back to sleep for 3 hours and still baking hot, had hoped it would have cooled down after the storm but no.
6.1 for me. No plans for today as too hot.
@Kaylz sorry to hear things are hard for you and have been for a while. Just a thought but have you ever been offered CBT for your OCD? Really sounds like your doc should be looking into it a bit more xx
 
Morning all! 4.9 for me after another sticky night. Thunderstorms later?
 
Evening! 5.9 and I’ve had another lie in! 8.50! I’ve reverted to teenagehood. It was soooo hot yesterday wasn’t it? 30 degrees for our little city, that’s very unusual. Spent the day lounging in the shade and ventured out at 9 o’clock for a walk. Just 3 miles, nothing too adventurous, we did have a fleeting thought of climbing a fell at sunset but we soon talked ourselves out of it! Very sticky already, storms expected later today. Might get something done in the house/ garden if it cools down. Have a fab Friday all. 🙂
 
Good morning 3.2 on a cloudy morning cooler too 24.C at the moment.😎
Took 4 units of Basal at bed time🙄 got that wrong again dad.🙂 A neighbour
went shopping for me yesterday and got some loo rolls from Lidl`s, (Shea Butter type).
He said I`ve never seen them before, I said you can have a couple of rolls, he said why
thankyou🙂!!!!!! as soon as I`ve used them.😱😱:D

Fish will be at the bottom in the heat @SB2015, hope you have a nice pump working.🙂

Hope you are feeling better @Amigo.🙂

@Benny G has gone missing anyone know anything?

Take care folks, remember to smile loudly stay safe.🙂

Morning all, 4.7 here. Spent yesterday craving sweet things (had a couple of those little Lotus biscuits, and kept raiding the fridge for strawberries and bits of nectarine), and had a rice salad in the evening. BG never budged above about 7. Was convinced my Libre had gone wrong at one point, my trace was so flat. (Meter confirmed it was correct). That’s the effect of a heatwave, super efficient insulin absorption!

I love lotus biscuits mmmm
 
Good morning gang🙂

I woke on 4.8 (Libre score) after a straightish line overnight, so no alarms or panics. I like that.🙂

I had my first ever video consultation with the neurology consultant yesterday afternoon. Worked just fine, though I think she was struggling with the tech. Because my mornings recently have consisted of trying to stretch my legs into a straight position, to overcome the muscle spasm, she suggested I try taking Baclofen at bedtime.

That particular discussion ended with a deal. I will try CBD oil first, and if that works, job done. If it has no effect at all, I’ll try Baclofen at night. If the CBD has an effect, then I’ll pester her for a Sativex prescription. NICE allow Sativex to be prescribed for MS patients to relieve muscle spasms, and as my muscle spasms are essentially the same I should get some. It’s only fair, and at least I’m familiar with the effects of THC.o_O

Anyway, she’s sticking with the PLS diagnosis - it’s a diagnosis arrived at by eliminating everything else, and there are no more tests to be done. She wants to see me again in 6 months, preferably in person, depending on whether lockdown has been reimposed, or earlier if there are any major changes like upper limb symptoms.

This morning, I’m indulging in Lockdown Lite - the podiatrist is arriving at 11, and the cleaners at 12. So I expect masks will abound. And I expect hand sanitiser will work on feet. Should be able to create a mini version of Bournemouth beach yesterday, but with higher IQs all round.🙄

Have a good day, everyone. Stay safe, and don’t linger face to face with strangers.🙂

I haven't contacted the GP so its not their fault, the mental health unit close to me was closed down a few years ago so there isn't any local support and no face to face appointments not that I could even manage that at the moment if there were xx

What a shame about the mental health unit, they do such good work. I hope you can have a chat with your GP soon to see if they can offer you some help, it must be so difficult for you to live with every day x
