Group 7-day waking average?

@Michael12421 I hope you’ve managed to get to see a doctor somehow by now {{{{hugs}}}}

Late clocking in, 5.4 for me after another miserable night getting to know my bathroom more than I’d like to. Does anyone else get really weird dreams when they’re high too?
 
6.3 today

Pleased with results. Kids generally pleased with results. Some even got upgraded!!!

......and relax for a few days before the madness of return
Thats good. Only one week left..

I keep off the wacky baccy - I don’t even smoke 😉 😉

I’m really lucky so to speak even after such a long time off that we don’t start back until 7th. Time to finish planning as many as possible all singing and dancing lessons to get them engaged again whilst sticking to about a billion new rules. I’m looking forward to it to be honest and I hope they are too, at least for a few days!
 
Well Morning All,

My reading for today was 5.3 , hope everyone has a good day today
 
Morning all,
A 5.5 for me today

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.1 here.

Poor Bloden was shaking like a big hairy jelly last night because of the wild wild weather! She seems to have regained her composure this morning tho.:D It’s still very windy here, so it’s rocks in pockets for our morning walk. 😉
 
@SueEK. Thanks but I am not OK. A week ago I awoke to find that I could not see well. There was a brown mist over my left eye It got progressivly worse so on Monday of this week I went to see (?) the optician. She put me in front of a machine to take photographs. She then told me that the retinas could not be seen clearly and that I must go to my doctor to arrange for a visit to the hospital with an appointment for the opthalmologist. Getting a face to face visit to the doctor is difficult these days the receptionist gave me an appointment for yesterday at 11.10. I turned up but my doctor did not. I was told that he would telephone me this morning. It is taking me ages to type this.my nose is almost on the keyboard. I was very upset, not to mention angry. Went home and fretted. Took a steak and kidney pie out for dinner but then began to feel unwell so sat down for a while. My dog, Missy, sat on my lap and started to nuzzle my face and whimper. She is acutely aware when I am unwell so I took a reading though I could hardly see the result. It was 27 which translates as 1.5. I immediately had a biscuit and 2 Magdalenas spread with butter and honey. It was only 6.15 but I decided to go to bed. Missy came up with me and unlike her normal procedure she lay down on the pillow next to mine and stayed there all night. At about 3 am she woke me by pawing my shoulder. I took more carbs and went back to sleep. Woke at 6.30. Eyesight worse. I am somewhat frightened at the moment. Waiting on the telephone call.
Take care Michael it sounds frightening. Good luck
 
Morning all, 4.3 here, it makes no sense that I was suddenly in the 7s earlier in the week, and now I'm in the 4s, all on the same basal. Oh silly me, when did I start expecting diabetes to make sense!
 
Morning

Well mum changed Bruce's dressing last night, if it wasn't for fear of hurting him I'd easy do it myself next time as its pretty well healed up BUT I'm too terrified I hurt him lol

Anyways its a 6.3 for me this morning, hopefully Bruce's mum can get my digestives soon as I'll be opening my last packet fairly soon, wonder if she managed to get my Milky Way cake bars while she was at Portlethen yesterday? Just have to wait and see if she gets in touch with Bruce

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx
 
7.2 on this very wet and windy morning. How shall I entertain three lively farmers children today? Answers on a postcard please. 😉
Have a fab ( but probably wild) Friday.🙂
 
Morning all, 8.3 for me today and no work for 12 days. Would normally be heading down to Dorset for the great dorset steam fair but that's cancelled this year. But we're heading up to Norfolk next week for a break instead.

I don't envy you the planning. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again but i do think its going to be stressful and hard work getting the kids to engage with learning. I work as a TA in ks1, some who have been in will be ok coming back i would think but all those who have been kept off since March might find it really difficult so i think we'll have our work cut out just to settle them back in.
 
6.3 for me! 🙂
Stay safe and safe.

Good morning all, its 9.2 from windy Staffordshire (the weather, not me). As you say @Robin , it makes no sense at all, my levels this week have been as low as 4 and as high as this morning on waking.

@Kaylz, i hope Bruce's mum gets your digestives and cake bars
@Stitch147 , enjoy your break
@Michael12421 , how are you today? Did you manage to speak to someone or get to hospital? I hope you are ok.

Have a good day everyone, whatever your plans
 
5.7 this morning. And weight loss appears to have started to move in the right direction again.

Even though it’s windy today I may embark on the 11 mile walk to see my folks later. Could be interesting as it’s along the canal and then through a series of wetlands. Or it’s along a very main road all the way.

@Michael12421 Hope you were able to see the doctor yesterday. Update us please.

@eggyg Have you tried getting them to count the leaves on a tree? If all else fails then just use Velcro!!
