Group 7-day waking average?

Sorry to hear of your loss @Gruers :(

Hey! You got your Hat Trick of HS Dez @MeeTooTeeTwo🙂

You found the 5’s on your meter again @eggyg :D

11:34 BS 6.8 🙂 Getting there with the insulin doses: midnight is almost there or there abouts but, midday is still way off; yesterday after lunchtime meds still battling high BS with corrections with the highest at 17mmol going down steadily with NR. So, today at midday it’ll be 70 Levemir & midnight I will try 55 or 60, testing wise but, I think more likely 55?🙄 Once I get the basal right, no rises in BS between meals, I can start working on my Novorapid doses which are slightly easier to tweak.🙄

After that, I can go to sleep that bit earlier: it’s been taking me so long to get the high BS down with repeated corrections after midday; speeded things up a bit yesterday by bunging in another 10 units of Levemir a few hours later when it was clear 60 wasn’t enough & got it down to 11.8 90 minutes after eating & 6.1 4 hours after & went to bed after midnight Levemir of 50 units.

Yes, I think 70 at midday from the off will be about right & maybe even stick with 50 at midnight? See how that goes?🙄

Already had my meds & will bung in Levemir after my post, just gone 12:10 so, it’ll have to be Australian again:-

G’day, Mates & have a Wonderful Day!😉

JB’s, as always, in easy reach: increasing insulin doses in “huge jumps”, as my GP practice nurse very anxiously puts it, cannot be done with confidence without that; I wouldn’t done it on my own a few years ago & the BS would have stayed much higher for longer!🙄😱o_O

My HR is now 50 it was 38 when I came in I play golf but don’t run any more but cycle a bit, I’m an elite nothing
 
So the toilet trip at 6.54 was 8.8 but i wasn’t really awake and went back to sleep and woke at 9.29 on a 5.2 ..... can a claim it for a 3rd day in a row??!!!!! No? I didn’t think so!!!

Hope all had a good day.
 
My waking BS was last night at 20:38 BS 9.1. High because I hadn’t started increasing NR doses yet yesterday & my last meal’s bolus was obviously way too little: the previous late nights caught up with me, while adjusting LR doses, & I slept after 13:31 last time I tested 90 minutes after eating BS 14.7 I bunged in a correction dose of 4 units NR before going to sleep! 🙄 I knew it wouldn’t be enough but, didn’t want to risk going low while sleeping!😱

My Levemir is about there & so, I started adjusting Novorapid after getting up last night! o_O Started off with a conservative increase from 28 to 32 units for breakfast & worked my way up +4 units each meal, about 3.5 hours apart but, tested 90 minutes after eating as usual, that’s when I peak, & got it right with my 3rd meal with 40 units & after was BS 8.7. So, I’ll be going to bed soon & when I wake, I’m guessing around midday, alarm set, I start breakfast on 40 units of Novorapid & it won’t be far off.🙄 I kept testing for 1 hour after the 4 active hours of last NR dose to test my LR to see if my BS held steady & what BS the NR left me at: 3 hours 58 minutes after NR 02:27 BS 5.1. LR test at 03:41 BS 5.4 so, pretty steady! Now, I’ll see what I wake on later today?🙂🙄

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

It’ll be nice to try to sleep normally once all the Autumn/Winter insulin doses are in place: I’m almost there; may still be wee tweaks today but, hopefully, ok by tomorrow?🙄🙂😉

Then, I can update my GP’s, online prescription form, at my health centre & order more insulin: at the increase of doses across the board each box isn’t going to last me as long so, I’ll keep 2 boxes surplus instead of my usual 1 extra box each!😱 But, if that’s what I need; that’s what I need!🙄

Edited to check my times again & correct mistakes: I DID indeed have a VERY short day yesterday as I got up at about half eleven & asleep again by about half one or 2 o’ clock at the latest just after midday meds & some food; about 90 minutes to 2 hours!:D What has been your shortest day, I wonder?🙄o_O😉

The first coffee of the day always tastes the best.

A 5.0 this morning.

Have a good day everyone, whatever your weather.
 
Morning all,
A 5.8 this morning.
Sorry @Gruers that they have kept you in, hope all will become clear later.
Painting the workshop all finished, apparently shows up 'other things' ... more work I guess!
Have a blessed Sunday everyone, Snowwy
 
Good morning all. 11.5 @ 5.05 I'm blaming all the drugs and bonjela type stuff for my gums. 🙂

Have a good Sunday all.
 
7.4 today. I met up with a friend last night and it was rather late... I’d not eaten... he ordered chips. I indulged

@Gruers I’m so sorry for your loss and I also wish you a speedy recovery.
 
Another 5.2 for me! :D

Stay safe and well everybody.

Dez
 
Morning

Meant to say yesterday my mum picked me up a bar of Lidl 95% chocolate so can't wait to get that tried but will be a while before I can get to it lol

My dad didn't get his op yesterday as apparently he was too dehydrated so possibly today

Just had Bruce on the phone, apparently he's been in his bedroom since 11:30 last night with a bat in the house, can't find it now and has no idea where it came from, he's not sure whether to leave it today as there's no sign of it or what

Anyways its a 5.9 for me

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx
