Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning. 8.2. A very strange night, I was utterly convinced that I had not eaten enough to cover my NR and so instead of one deep sleep I had about 10 or 15 naps. Worried you see? It was also very hot and sultry. Needn't have worried a higher reading than most mornings.

I often have high readings when I’ve had a restless night. Which to be fair is most nights!
 
It was 6.1 for me this morning before my early morning walk (the first in about a week I didn't get rained on.) 🙂

Stay safe and well, everyone.

Morning all, 8.3 for me today and I'm apprehensive about how things are going to be in work today.
 
I’m joining the 6.0 club this morning.
Didn’t go to bed until 3am and slept through until 9:30 which is unheard of for me so maybe I’ll plan another mix of Netflix viewing before heading out to watch the bats and listen to the owls at night again.
For a city centre location there’s an awful lot of wildlife around if only you look for it!
 
A 4.8 this morning. Hope you feel better today @Hazel and @Kaylz. Back to school again today after a long weekend with my parents. So lovely to see them. Even more difficult to be motivated this morning. Still only a couple of weeks to go! We live opposite a pub and I wondered what Saturday and re-opening would bring. We went for a pint in the beer garden on Sunday afternoon and the landlord said that they had just had a steady flow of people all day and never too many. All locals and people distancing etc.
 
Forgot to post this earlier 06:58 BS 6.2 🙂 Yesterday was another day that I slept a lot & BS stayed relatively stable so no reductions yet: started to climb a wee bit towards lunch time so did indeed upped the midday Levemir to 56 units & that helped to bring it back down a bit. Will see how today goes? But, I feel almost over this little chill: cough has more or less gone although my mouth is a bit more bunged than usual with phlegm; nose still a bit snotty too!🙄

I missed this earlier on in the year but, I watched all 8 episodes of Best Home Cook on BBC iPlayer the last 2 days, on & off between the snoozes, & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Suzie!😛 She’s a woman after my own heart: Chinese & lives in Northern Ireland; AND my word she can cook!:D😎😛🙂 She has such a lovely, strong Belfast accent too!😛😎 I REALLY felt for her when she decided to do her mum’s curry recipe: CRIKEY I thought that’s brave to SO vastly reduce the volume & the cooking time from the vast vat of concentrate that‘s made, in our family restaurant about once a month; the judges didn’t quite get that but, I, in italics, DID!😱 Even if I knew our recipe I wouldn’t even be able to begin to change it from a recipe for a concentrated paste for about 500/600, my own estimation, wok fulls into a curry sauce for just a few people: 1 ladle of concentrate to a wok full of water for each batch of curry sauce that’s made!😱 BUT, I thought it was strangely ironic that she won the final with a roast chicken dinner: that’s exactly the way I’ve always roasted chicken; upside down with the breasts at the bottom so they don’t dry our before the legs are cooked & only turned right side up for last 20/30 minutes to crisp the skin! I also, quite shockingly, learnt something new: very typically Northern Irish wheaten bread, which I’ve eaten a lot of, has no yeast in it; never knew that but, then I don’t bake bread although a lot of local people bake their own wheaten bread!😱 I had a friend that baked gorgeous wheaten bread for her family & gave me the odd loaf before she & family retired to Donegal about 6/7 years ago: I miss her & her lovely wheaten bread!

It’s another grey day here & I’m re reading Science Fiction/Fantasy books by Anne McCaffrey the Catteni Sequence: just finished the 1st one Freedom’s Landing yesterday & just started the 2nd Freedom’s Choice; about a race of aliens, the Cateni, who invaded Earth shipping off a whole load of people & dumped them down on an uninhabited planet to fend for themselves & colonise it, if possible, with only rudimentary supplies! Rather like the first penal colonisation of Australia: the inhabitants DID survive, obviously or there wouldn’t be a series of 5 books, & named the planet Botany after Botany Bay in Australia!🙄 It’s absolutely fascinating reading & I love most of Anne McCaffrey’s books: oddly enough NOT her most well known Dragons of Pern series though: that’s pure Fantasy & I’m much more of a Sci Fi geek!🙄

Anyways, a bit of a Little Miss Forgetful, late morning greeting, from me, for a very Good Morning & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
Good morning all.

5.8 this morning.

I had a sleepy time yesterday, blood sugar went to 10.3, yep sleepy is a good indicator, well instead of succumbing to it I did a spot of gardening and after 45 mins, blood sugar down to 6.8, such a good indicator to help control levels for type 2 at least for me it seems.

Hope everything goes ok for those having to go into work.

I've missed somethine @Hazel - hope you are ok and recovering now. That goes for anyone who has been poorly of late.

Continue to stay well and safe everyone as best we can.
 
G'day all. 6.9 for me today.

ColinUK I got strawberry, coconut and banana smoothies. A whole box full. I wish I'd got a proper meal plan now instead of just the shakes. I prefer SlimFast but think these are better healthwise. It's quarter past three and I'm not hungry and it might just be a coincidence but hope not. On SlimFast I'm ravenous by 11am. :D
 
6.3 for me this morning and have managed to keep things between the lines so far today, so fingers crossed I have turned a corner... or maybe I should say that I've got my basal insulin balanced for this steroid inhaler.... Hope I haven't spoken too soon.

@Hazel So sorry to hear you have had another fall. Hope you are not too sore today.
@Michael12421 Good to hear that you have wheels again. Don't go too crazy! Hope the trip to the vets is just a routine one and the girls are both well.
 
Thanks for the good wishes.
Finally got my levels back in range by increasing basal to 160% and antibiotics in board.
It looks like it is a UTI. Having a dozy day now to catch up with sleep missed last night.

I hope you enjoyed your freedom @Bloden, and I hope work was okay @Stitch147
Looks like my BG is copying yours @rebrascora . If only our D would just behave itself, especially when we are behaving properly.
 
5.6 and a very good morning to you all
 
Morning All,

Today's reading for me is 5.4
