Group 7-day waking average?

I know it’s far from a waking level but I just scored a HS! CD3FCFE9-16C5-42FE-825E-902DC4C9C442.jpeg
 
Good day folks 9.0 after another day in hospital,o_O nothing nasty went to Paignton hospital
for a Podiatry check ended up in Torbay with my legs covered in what I can only describe as
very thick PJ`s with warm air going through them.😎

They wanted to balance the different temperature between each leg and foot,🙂
plus right big toe looks ulcerated.😱

Nice to see Lanny posting again stay safe.

Congratulations on HS @Robin.🙂

Glad every thing went ok @Flower.🙂

Yeah can`t give you that one @ColinUK.🙂

Take care folks stay safe.🙂

Despite you being a stickler for the rules, I wish you well Ted!

Morning all, Yay, HS for me. Walked miles yesterday, from Marble Arch were the coach drops us, up to St. Johns Wood to pick up the Regents canal towpath, along to Camden lock, back along part of the towpath and through Regent’s park, to Marble Arch. Hope it wasn’t a mistake, had lunch in Camden market, and it was a lot busier than anticipated, lots of young people not socially distanced. (nothing too awful, no large groups, and nothing like how rammed it got on a pre-Covid weekend, but the alleys are narrow, and the food stalls packed together) Time will tell (about 14 days!)

Congratulations! Must have been all that walking. Sounds fantastic. Sure you’ll be ok.
 
Late on parade after another shocking 7.8 waking level. It’s becoming the norm no matter what I do and very disheartening after 5.5 yrs of having decent waking levels.
Had an unexpected annual telephone diabetic review today. Had the usual statin discussion and fortunately I’d kept note of my recent b/p levels, weight etc. I won’t tell you the advice I received from this well meaning but none specialist nurse as you’d feel compelled to put your head in your hands and scream! 😳
I‘m going back to the DIY approach, it’s safer!

Happy Birthday @Stitch147 🙂

I use the burrito method for duvet cover changing. It’s rather good.

Ooohhhhh! Drat! No lightbulb emoji! That’s BRILLIANT @ColinUK ! 😛😎 Never seen that before!😱

I’ll give that a go next time!🙂😎

PS: noted that that guy said it’s not easy to flick & shake duvet into the corners if you’re not very tall: precisely my problem; exacerbated now by lack of breath & energy!o_O

Wow. That is such an excellent hack. Ready for next Sat on our changeover day.
I suspect it is harder than it looks, but worth a try.
 
Morning all,
5.6 for me today.
Back on daughter's room decorating, not entirely looking forward to working in the heat in a loft.
In other news, in Mrs Snowwy's good books as I fixed our failed oven yesterday, replaced the element YES!!! - Was it elementary... 🙄

Blessings Snowwy
 
05:04 BS 4.8 just felt hypo just over 90 minutes after eating so, munching a JB! Overdid breakfast Novorapid because, shush I was naughty & had turkey mince curry with micro steamed boiled rice & coke, & I usually have 40 units for that but, had an instinct, I do sometimes & they’re usually right, & reduced it to 38. OK not quite a hypo yet but, there’s not much room to fall & I’m already feeling it! 🙄 Will also have an oatcake once I’ve munched my jelly baby as there’s still active insulin go!😳

Was up at midnight again & had my am Levemir 00:02 BS 7.8, stayed in bed but, couldn’t get back to sleep so, cooked & ate 03:30 BS 10.5 with roughly my usual rate of 1mmol/hour!🙄

A very early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS: JB munched & going for the oatcake now & keep checking until active insulin is past!🙄
 
Morning All, well it's a 6.1 for me today
 
Morning all. A 8.4 for me today. Had a great birthday yesterday.
 
Morning all, 6.7 today. Overcast today which I wasn’t expecting. Am taking my 7 yr old grandson to our caravan for a couple of days and had planned to have a paddle in the sea and then have lunch out in the American cafe in the village. He had a slingshot for his birthday and wants to use it with small stones on the beach (into the sea obviously). Let’s hope the weather bucks up a bit. Have booked archery for him later today and swimming tomorrow. Really not keen to do the swimming but he is eager and want to encourage his swimming. He had an incident 2 weeks ago at my son in laws parents pool where he panicked and went under, my daughter had to jump in fully clothed (including sandals and sunglasses) to rescue him. As it hasn’t put him off I feel I should take him. Will let you know how it goes.
Have a good day everyone x
