Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

Well I didn't sleep right through, was awake a couple of times due to nightmares and then at 4 and 5 when Bubbles was acting up but I didn't have to get up throughout the night so hopefully that's me on the road to recovery!

Miserable day here, dull and VERY wet and mum has to go to Lidl this morning, needless to say she isn't looking forward to it!

5.0 for me so an improvement there too, hopefully it stays in range without rising through the day like it has the last 2 days!

Have a nice day folks
xx

I think it originally started as that but it was started long ago and its a nice place to check in with each other every morning so it changed slightly, nothing wrong with that xx

Can't quite remember saying there was anything wrong with it but thanks for the answer anyway.
 
Oh yeah @brisr949, good point, hahaha. :D I never post my average, don’t even know what it is.

Morning all from the soggy south west.🙂 4.9 on the finger for me.

Well, I was in hozzie yesterday for a teensy op and I’ve got to say, I’ve never had such a relaxing stressful experience - the staff were brilliant. Chatty, kind, attentive, funny...I’m clapping on the inside.🙂🙂

Another great average @Baz. brisr949’ll approve!😉
 
5.8 this morning and a cat covered in cinnamon swirl shake powder because the sachet I picked up wasn’t properly sealed and it went everywhere! Specifically it went everywhere over the cat, who does seem to be enjoying it immensely!
 
4.5 this morning. Grey and dull here too, but warm. Am off next week all the way to Norfolk to celebrate my mum's 80th and am going to spend the weekend trying to fix all the stained glass panels l have made to their frame. I have no real idea how (or if,) I'm going to achieve this, but hopefully it will all become clear.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day
 
6.1 for me this morning. 🙂
No need for me to visit the barber/hairdresser. :D
A quick run over the old bonce with the Philips set at No.1 every few days does me. 😎

Stay safe and well everybody.

5.3 for me today.
@eggyg Happy Anniversary, enjoy your day

4 days until my haircut. Was due one a week before lockdown so its been since the end of January when i last had a haircut!! Can't wait, people are commenting how grey and long it is. Not a good look
 
Sorry @eggyg forgot to wish you and Mr Eggyg a very happy Ruby Wedding Anniversary. Hope you both have a wonderful day xx
 
Not wanting to miss the party, my 7 day average is 5.9, 30 days is 5.8 and 90 days is also 5.8 according to Dario...
 
Good point @brisr949. You have reminded me to see where that bit is on my Libre data as I have just switched to using LibreView. Thank you.

7.5 this morning but consistent overnight.
Just started monitoring BP in preparation for my D review. 112/63. Happy with that.

@eggyg have a fabulous day, whatever the weather.
 
The glucose spike frustratingly continues for me so a nasty 8 this morning. The quest for relative normality continues.

Had a call from the GP surgery yesterday to say I needed to repeat a test but sneakily, they’d shoved in he Hba1c test when I went in for 6 vials full of blood let the other day. Not surprisingly it had hiked to 45 (6.3) from the 38 last year.
I should be relieved in view of recent numbers. 5 months shielding has done me no favours in terms of my general health and my lipids are now high (the statin conversation will no doubt be given again at next review).

Raining here but hope everyone who is celebrating @eggyg and anyone venturing out today enjoys themselves 🙂
 
Happy anniversary @eggyg have a great day.

5.3 for me today after a rough couple of days and loads of jelly babies. No idea why but I’ve be in the 2’s 3’s and 4’s nearly all week.

Have a good day all
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke on 4.7 this morning, according to the Libre a leisurely straight line gradient overnight. Fair enough.

I went down into the village yesterday for the first time in four months. Very quiet, and everyone was dutifully bemasked in the shops, so stocked up on essentials in Spar. I did also nip into the pharmacy to pick up a Creon prescription - I did get a prescription for all my other stuff last week, so I just thought it was a delay because they didn't have any in stock.

Well, it wasn't that. They just hadn't sent that bit of the prescription through. So I had to go into the surgery next door, where they apologised for the mistake and said it would be sent through last thing yesterday. So I phoned the pharmacy today, who said they haven't received it. Needless to say, i was a bit annoyed. Fortunately, the pharmacist on at weekends is an old mate, just keeping his eye in after retirement. So I've got to slip down there and he will bung me a few Creon to keep me going - or in this case to stop me going:D - for the weekend.

Anyway, all that exertion yesterday has meant that I'm a bit of a wreck this morning. So my trip to the pharmacy will be under the influence of Tramadol, so if I don't appear next week I've been arrested for driving a mobility scooter under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Mind you, I'm still on the reserve list of magistrates, so a nod and a wink in the right places should sort that.😎 I should just have enough time during the Test Match lunch break to get there and back.

Have a good day, folks. I will once I'm sentient again :D
 
Whilst I have been reading the posts during the past week or so, I haven't posted my own readings, mostly because they have been all over the place and I have been frustrated with them.... but in the spirit of returning to the original theme of this thread as mentioned by Adam (@brisr949)... here goes:-

Sun 19th 6.5
Mon 20th 6.1
Tue 21st 4.6
Wed 22nd 4.3
Thu 23rd 8.6
Fri 24th 3.8
Sat 25th 5.3

Average for the week is an extremely surprising and rather attractive 5.6.... nearly as good as @Baz!
I'll certainly take that, but better daily consistency would be nice. I am 80% TIR for the past 7 days so pretty happy with that too.
Just wondering if there is an extra special "House Special" for getting a weekly average of 5.2?
