Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A 5.6 for me this morning. Going to be a long day, i have the class all day. At least its Friday.
Have a good day folks x
 
Good morning. 6.4. Cooler here too but we’ve switched the heating on, now on the autumn/ winter regime. Babysitting day today. She’ll arrive at 9ish and create mayhem until 2.30! Only joking, she’s a little star. Still need a lie down though when she’s gone! Have a great day.🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.5 here.

Sorry to hear you had a rough night @Michael12421.

Well, it’s virtual Welsh today - I hope the teacher sends the link out asap, cos it could take me all morning to find the classroom.😉 I’ve got the best teacher this year - they’re all excellent, but this guy’s hilarious. Laughter and learning is a great combo.

At least you can hand them back.
 
5.5 this morning. And waiting for a courier to arrive with an ETA of “between 07:15 and 22:35pm” to quote their peculiarly written email.

That’s why I love being an uncle. When my nephew was younger I could wind him up and get him all excited about everything and then hand him back to my brother and sister in law and leave them with the chaos
 
08:59 BS 11.7! 😱 EEEEEK! Not much better than yesterday! But, I wake with a stonking headache! BS was 5.7 at midnight so, taking yesterday’s waking reading into account as well, I think I went low in the night?🙄 So, I think LR doses need going down a bit again as meal readings are all still range. Midnight readings are a wee bit lower than usual so, I’ll reduce midday LR as well: I’ll try 56 & 36 today & see what happens?🙄

Already bunged in 16 units Novorapid & half an oatcake as I don’t want to eat, sitting up in bed with my head throbbing: half of 28 is 14 +2 correction equals 16; will eat lunch later! Nope! Not going to frown, JUST, as I’m pretty sure what’s going on now & can do something about it!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
Morning all, after a number of attempts got a 6.4 same as @eggyg, so cold here so heating has had to go on, couldn’t believe the rain last night either. Cleaning day in the van today, shower and an attempt to get Misty out. Was so cold last night she actually got IN the bed with me, nice hot water bottle though.
@HenryBennett enjoy your car.
@Michael12421 hope you can have a little nap today .
Have a good day everyone and stay warm x
 
Good morning 6.1 on a lovely sunny day 24.C at the moment.🙂

No heating needed here, tried to download the Covid app on my
i phone but it won`t support it so done it on my Android instead.😎

Sorry you had a rough night @Michael12421 but your test figure was better.

Enjoy your virtual class today @Bloden.🙂

You also @SB2015 with your weaving class etc.🙂

Have a good day folks take care stay safe.🙂

Our youngest daughter does that with her nephew and nieces, she’s now expecting her first baby, I’ve a feeling her sisters may be getting their own back!
 
So at 1 am my reading was 8.5. Was tempted to take a couple of units but decided to leave it and trust the basal to take care of it and this morning recorded 7.0.
That's my lowest morning reading since diagnosis.

I did learn one painful lesson though.
Using my sleeping wife to warm my freezing hands up before taking blood is not a mistake I will be repeating any time soon.

you are aware that basal insulin shouldn't bring you down too much right? its supposed to keep you steady and if it lowers your BG the chances are your dose is too high, of course 8.5-7 isn't that much of a concerning drop but say if you are a few mmol lower on waking than you were when you went to bed then adjustments would need made as long as it was 4 hours after your last bolus you went to bed xx

Nice motor, Henry. Must be a dream to drive?

Thanks Martin. It’s very comfortable and very easy to drive. They call it the F-Sport but it’s a long way from a GTi :D Running costs will be a lot lower than my ageing SUV.

especially as at 72 I wonder how much longer I'm going to be driving.

You wouldn’t believe how many people in NI driving still are in their 90’s. Outside of Belfast and Londonderry roads are very much quieter than England.

Did you ever get out on the naughty step though? I regularly end up on the naughty step at my sisters after winding nephews up. As I can’t visit (rule of 6 and where they live) I kind of miss that!
