Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

Well things didn’t go as well as they could have for Bruce, they did an x-ray and everything on the inside seems fine but the top of the wound hasn’t healed so well, he’s had the stitches down by his hand area removed but further up they could only remove alternate stitches, back on Monday in the hope the rest can come out but they also think he may need a course of antibiotics as it’s looking a little infected where it hasn’t healed as well, it’s a right pain with having to travel 40 miles as if his mum is working then his dad has to miss out on his plumbing jobs but also book off from the fire service

Mum picked my prescription of Tresiba cartridges up for me yesterday when she finished at the charity shop, she had her own to get as well and only a few doors away from the shop, now I'll need to reorder needles, strips and sensors 🙄

Anyways

Congrats on yours @Baz.

@ColinUK I know many won't agree with this (but then again we all do things we maybe shouldn't) but when my ears are blocked I'm guilty of syringing lukewarm water into them, gets the problem solved instantly rather than having to put up with being unable to hear properly for days

Have a nice day my lovelies and stay safe

Well done on your HS @Kaylz as well
 
Morning All, well it's a 5.5 for me today but still a good start to the week
 
05:42 BS 5.0 🙂 Very pleased with that as I JUST headed off a hypo at midnight! Had gone to bed around 19:00/20:00 & when midnight alarm went off BS was 4.5. That startled me a bit! With Levemir to go in I decided to eat some veg soup to bring my sugars up a bit so, had that & had my usual Levemir 36 units & 4 units less of dinner Novorapid 8 units as clearly 12 units around 18:00 for dinner, also veg soup, was too much: ALMOST went with 10 units as 8 seemed too much of a reduction; but, stuck with it despite the strong temptation to quickly dial up another 2 after I’d pushed the 8 into my arm! I thought better be a little high than too low in the morning!🙄 WELL, it seems tohave worked out ok!🙂

So, I had 1 meal out of 4, as it turned out, that WASN’T soup & I’ll have breakfast this morning of lean mince turkey with peas & onions with frozen micro steamed boiled rice & maybe have soup for the rest as well: still have loads of soup left!🙄

I DID notice my digestion seemed to hit a little difficult patch there for a few hours in the afternoon which I think the morning sachet of Laxaido helped me through along with doing tummy rubs & reverse leg crunches on the bed: all left leg ones; large intestine is on the left & that’s why when you’re having digestive problems pain is often more pronounced on the left! Abdominal movement helped to release the wind & eased the pain a lot while the Laxido did its thing. Lightbulb Emoji &:D

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

PS: In case you’re wondering; reverse leg crunches are a modified sit up where instead of sitting up to crunch your adnominal muscles you do the opposite & bring your leg up to crunch your stomach muscles as you bend the knee of your leg in! It’s much easier to do as it’s MUCH less strain on the neck but, sit ups do both sides at once as opposed to one side at a time with the reverse crunches!🙄
 
Morning folks. :D 4.2 here.

Pretty miz out there. But it’s August, so shorts must be worn!😎
Another day of painting - the lovely colour I chose for my office is absolutely rank LOL. Luckily, I’ve got enough white to do another coat. So, white it is!😛
 
Morning guys

Well that’s another repeat in, needles, strips and sensors this time, also needed to do a Savers order as need spec wipes so 5 pouches of cat food in there too, he has plenty as still has 3 full boxes of Morrison’s stuff that I bought down at Bruce’s 🙄

Anyways 5.7 for me today

Have a nice day and stay safe

Hi everyone
Not so good 7.1 for me this morning - but much better than the mainly 8's I have been getting for a week or so.

It's been quite concerning, as I hadn't made any significant changes in eating habits. I tried not to panic as I know that there are many often unexplainable reasons. Probably it many be indirectly due to the heat wave. I have always had a problem in coping with high temperatures, and this one which seemed to go on for ever, really got through to me. So 'nil' activity and very little sleep may have been the cause, lets hope I'm dropping back to better levels now.
Still need to up the activity level though, maybe I'll try to get a long walk done, if I can dodge between the thunder storms.
 
Morning all. Another 6.8 for me today. I have been given a new metre, not happy as it’s the cheapest of the cheap. I did have a lovely Accu- Chek mobile but they won’t prescribe me the cassettes for it anymore! I was given that by the hospital two years ago when I was re categorised as Type 1. I started using the new one on Thursday and my readings have all been quite a bit higher than usual. I’m not happy about it at all. 😡I’m going to contact my DSN at the clinic to see if they can persuade the GP surgery to put them back on my prescription.
Anyhoo, have a good day all, it’s decidedly cooler today but most welcome.🙂
 
Morning all. Woke up to a 3.6 this morning. Tootled along yesterday at perfect levels all day, despite missing lunch as i really wasn't hungry. Went to bed on a 7.1but libre says this morning i dipped to hypi about 2am then picked up again before dipping to below 4 when i woke up. Hope its not going to be a day of too low or too high. Oh well...it will be what it will be.
Have a good day folks whatever your plans are

What did you consume that’s left you with this spike? (Hoping to learn).
 
Morning all,
6.2 today at 5 am for no apparent reason.
Just back from a 5 mile run which was more humid and therefore harder than I expected.o_O
Some good scores on the forum this morning, well done everyone!
Zoom church later and a bit of F1 in the form of the Spanish GP.

Blessings Snowwy
 
5.9 this morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Morning all, 8.5 for me today. Off to have a coffee with my best mate later who I haven't seen properly since March.
 
Have a lovely time @Stitch147 .
Morning all, 6.8 today and getting things ready to go home again. Watched a very amusing film last night called Keeping Mum with Maggie Smith and Roman Atkinson. Very little rain again and none of the predicted thunderstorms. Another couple of mozzie bites this morning, ooh they drive me nuts. Have a good Sunday all x
 
A 5.2 for me. Someone in the surrounding houses appears to have a new cockerel. It has woken everyone up at silly o'clock for the last two mornings. I realise lots of you get up at silly o'clock so perhaps have more sympathy for the ****, but it's days are numbered...
We are off to the Yorkshire dales tomorrow, staying in a bunkhouse in a quiet village so hopefully won't be annoying anyone with our travels. It was booked a whole ago and we hope to enjoy some walking. It has no WiFi, so evenings with the girls should be fun.
So packing today.

Well done on the HS and have a fab holiday. Spookily enough my middle daughter messaged me at 6.30 to say someone on her housing estate must have a cockerel as she’s been woken early every morning for a week with it! She didn’t seem to see the irony of waking me by sending a message to tell me this tale! 🙂

Congratulations on the HS! 🙂 Hope you have a good time up in our wonderful county! 🙂 Forecast looks a bit autumn-like for the coming week, so make sure you pack some rain gear! 😱 🙂
