Group 7-day waking average?

5.3 today...much better. Enjoy your day everyone.
 
Morning all
A 6.0 this morning on this slightly damp morning.
However our 'virtual' cruise day 5 sees us docking at Kusadasi (Turkey) for our trip inland to Ephesus where its due to be 36 degrees!
Ephesus, famous for its ruins of the Temple of Artemis (pictured) and the whole area is of Biblical importance where Paul visited the Ephesian church to preach and encourage. We have been there twice before and the whole place is fascinating and very atmospheric. Who knew that its 12 miles from the port and yet in ancient times was by the sea!

Good morning All, My reading today is 6.0
 
Morning

Well mum was planning on washing her denim jacket this morning and getting it hung out on the line but no such luck, not because the weather is bad, no, but because the neighbours came back last night and have taken up our part of the green to open their blooming tent up leaving us without access, inconsiderate or what! She's fine though, she got her washing hung out last night! 🙄

Anyways its a 5.4 for me this morning

Have a nice day and stay safe my lovelies
xx
 
Good morning. A rare in the fives for me, just, 5.9. You’ll be glad to know I’ve finished the ironing! 2.5 Goggle Boxes and a Long Lost Family! It was some pile! Nothing too pressing today though! 😉 A wander down to Aldi for some bits and bobs. I have good news too, sorry it’s not a hair cut, that’s the 25th, we have booked a few days away to celebrate our Ruby Wedding anniversary, which is next week. Just a few days in a cottage in a place called Sunk Island. Humberside estuary. Much different to where we would normally go, there’s no mountains for a start, but it’s very remote and lots of nature reserves, old fashioned seaside towns and wild windswept vistas. Wasn’t the holiday we’d planned to celebrate our 60ths and anniversary but at least it’s somewhere. Have a wonderful Wednesday and @Robin good luck, you may be some time.🙂

In the 7s again with a 7.5, bit fed up with that. Beautiful day yesterday but overcast today. Misty got me up at 6. 10 so that she could eat grass outside, thanks for that!! Not sure what we are doing today - possibly cleaning the carpets.
@Michael12421 - am so sorry to hear your sad news. We just love our pets don’t we and grieving is our way of showing our love and respect for them. I hope you can take solace in that she obviously had a wonderful life with someone who loved her deeply and my heart goes out to you xx
@Snowwy - loving the virtual cruise, it is great and love the little facts that go with it.
Have a good day everyone xx

Congratulations @eggyg on your Ruby achievement! That colour goes with most things... 🙂 yes things don't always pan out in our celebration holiday... Today though I will be celebrating a haircut!
 
@Michael12421 sorry to hear of your loss.

It was 5.1 for me this morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

07:31 BS 9.1 🙄 To be expected really after almost heading off a hypo before bed yesterday! Thumb is is MUCH better & starting to heal after the delicate stage, shall we say!🙄🙂 That was faster than I expected given how my BS is still elevated but, I have some thoughts on that & share them when I get to that bit!🙄 That faster than I expected healing kind of caught me out a bit yesterday & could have been worse except that I changed my mind & actually did my increased doses the other way round at midday: had decided 50 units of Levemir & 36 units of Novorapid; remembered temp. DSN’s advice & went with the safer 38 units NR & 48 LR instead. After lunch 13:58 BS 4.2 didn’t feel anything & good thing I tested: guzzled down half a can of coke, out of JB’s at the moment until next shop 21/07/20, & a whole oatcake; JUST started to feel my heart rate speed up a little bit after all that but, only for about 5/10 minutes so, not much of a reaction this time thanks to having almost cut it off at the pass! Before dinner 15:36 BS 6.2 had 20 units NR & after 17:16 BS 5.3 Oops!😳 Clearly too low so, went a bit overboard as I wanted to sleep, had a cup of tea with usual tsp of honey & 2 kit kat dark mint 2 fingers bars before going to bed: preferred to risk a higher waking figure than to go too low while I slept!🙄

Apart from +2 correction for breakfast, already had & too early to test yet, I think everthing is back to normal doses.

CV has knocked me hard but, there has been a few things that have been better for me about it!🙄 In the admittedly panic about not getting BS readings that are very high, I’ve become much braver than I’ve ever been about increasing insulin doses, living alone I’ve been more afraid of going hypo & run a bit higher because of that, & always having hypo treatments close to hand has really helped with that. Because my BS has been more erratic I’ve HAD to test more often than ever before & even when BS is high, sometimes scarily so, it hasn’t stayed high for long as I did something about it. In the past my BS when it was a bit higher, it most likely stayed that way for much longer simply because I didn’t test as much & didn’t know but, these things always show up in the hba1c tests. I think that was key in my lowest hba1c reading I’ve had, 1 lower than all last year when I wasn’t so ill!🙄

Anyways, after a bit of a long winded ramble, I wish you all a Good Morning & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
Yay! Managed to find a last minute cancelled tesco slot for tomorrow afternoon, purely because I’m out of JB’s: true I have coke; fizz CAN be a problem though during hypos & prefer the trusted JB’s!🙂

Oh, might as well post post breakfast reading, double post entirely intended:D, 09:18 BS 6.5 ok might be a bit low but, just now 10:13 BS 6.1 so seems to be ok?🙂
 
Good morning 8.8 for a very good reason,🙂 awake in the night extra thirsty and a bit hungry.
Opened the fridge door and there it is staring at me half a pink grapefruit, two birds with one stone.🙂
No time for Bolus hence the higher reading and gratifying smile on my tummy.:D

My dear @Michael12421 such a sad loss, please accept condolences and {{{HUGS}}}.

@Snowwy loving the virtual journey been to all the stops so far, Ephesians one of the smallest books in the good book.🙂

You`ll enjoy Sunk Island @eggyg!!!! as long as it don`t rain.🙂

Podiatrist tomorrow morning not sure they will like what they`ll see. 😱 :D

Take care stay safe folks.🙂

Looks fab! Have you ever been to any of the biblical sites in Israel?
 
G'day all. 8.1 @ 8.47am proper chuffed that I got some blood out, that's probably because I did low carb yesterday tho' started late.

So sorry about your dog M. :(

Congrats on the Ruby! 🙂

I want to go to Ephesus now. When we went to Queen HotChickenSoups place, they said she'd had Sycamore Trees and a river but now just sand!
