Group 7-day waking average?

Its around 48mmol, did finger prick confirm as you say its not like you to miss one xx
I didn't finger prick as the graph showed i'd been out of it for almost an hour! Kept an eye on it and it just kept going up and up. Finger prick halfway through that showed i was a bit higher than the sensor showed! I think i missed it because i'm really tired, struggling to get myself up and going atm, and my younger daughter rang last night and as shes been working away i haven't seen her in a few weeks so felt a bit emotional.
 
Morning everyone. After battling a high overnight, it finally came down to 8.3 with a downward trend. Absolutely worn out today. Only 2 more days to the weekend.
Have a good day folks, weather supposed to be a bit better today x
 
@freesia I hope you don't think I'm getting on at you as I'm not! I just know how c**p loss of hypo awareness can be and the added stress and worry it brings! This sensor unfortunately is pretty much spot on lol (not great levels either hence why I see it as unfortunate lol) think my basal needs adjusting again but only had enough in my cartridge to do my usual dose last night, the stress of this bathroom work looming, not being allowed to see Bruce etc isn't helping either mind, hope you have a better day today xx
 
5.0 for me today. 🙂

Good morning - 2.7
Oh no, what are we going to do with you, please attempt the things we have suggested to you as this is becoming a very dangerous situation for you xx
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.4 here.

Yippee, the dogs are once more allowed on the whole, entire, all of it, length of the beach from today until May. Mind you, I think the tide’s probably in right now. Got to keep Gwennie dry anyway - she’s well overdue for a haircut. We can’t work out which end of her is which unless she’s having a poo, haha.😱:D

@Michael12421 I know it probably doesn’t suit you, but why not just try following Kaylz’s excellent advice for a few days? That is, eat a tad earlier and go to bed a tad later - I leave at least 2 hours between jabbing for dinner and bedtime, so that I know my BG’ll be high enuff to keep me safe overnight. We’re all going GREY worrying about you!o_O🙂
 
Morning folks, 6.8 today. Daughter is coming down today and we are going to do a bit of shopping, masks and sanitisers are ready. Nice quiet day weather wise but supposed to get really windy, may be time to go home tomorrow.
Have a good day all x
 
Totally different subject but how do you select just a passage from a post to reply to, as you’ve done above, rather than the whole post? Not great tech wise 🙂
 
Morning all. A much better night’s sleep. 6.3 this morning. Wedding planning in full mode. In 24 hours we had the registrar and a small reception booked, Mother of the Bride dress ordered and should be here today, new dresses for grown up bridesmaids, and jackets for them all as it’ll be cold, the original ones were too summery, shoes for flower girls, original photographer booked, hotel rooms booked for night before and night after and most importantly my hair cut and colour booked! Wedding dress fitting on Saturday, but worried as daughter has lost 4 stone since January! Bridal shop owner has assured us that something will be sorted. Having a day off today, sort of, apart from daughter number 1 bringing rabbit round for us to look after whilst they go away for the weekend. Trying on of bridesmaids and flower girls outfits and shoes. Oh and we are going on holiday next week so trying to organise that as well, coming home a day early, two days before wedding. All this made a tad more difficult as she isn’t getting married in our home city, oh no, that would be too simple. She’s getting married in Blackpool, 90 miles away! I’m going for a lie down now with a wet flannel! 😛
 
Morning all, 8.2 for me today and Christmas is in full swing at work! More and more products are arriving every day.
 
Had a chat with my DSN today. She said my HBa1C is 6.6% not sure what mmol that is. She seemed happy with it. Good job i spoke to her today and not tomorrow. Just scanned to find i've been hypo from 7.30-9 and didn't realise which is unusual!!!
Hi Freesia,
Well done on the HbA1c that equates to about 48.

I have had ‘hypos’ overnight on my sensor where I have slept on it. Having tested I have been in the upper 4s.
So it could be that if you normally wake with a hypo it could be this reason.
 
Spent all night trying to get levels down and now running at 150% of basal.
Feel fine apart from very tired so giving in and catching up on sleep.

@eggyg it sound like you need a holiday. Some friends of ours went for a quick simple wedding just before Christmas. A lot less fuss and hassle in the run up and a fantastic day for all.

Have a good day all.

I don't think freesia had been sleeping hence why I didn't think it could be a compression low xx
 
Been a little up and down the last few days. Weight has fluctuated and created just over 90kg again. Felt like c**p. Awful sleep. BG higher than where I’d like it to be (but still within range).
Add to that being mucked around for my flu jab (which I did actually get Saturday afternoon), stress related to the court case, some really tricky executor stuff and the atrocious weather and I’ve been a little quieter than normal.

I did bake a wonderfully tasty low-carb seeded loaf though! And I’ve caught up on lots of Netflix stuff!

Am going off to the National Gallery again today as it is my all time favourite gallery. I always find it inspirational and uplifting to spend time being absorbed by the art works.

Tomorrow I’m back to the opticians to tweak the prescription for my multifocal contact lenses and carry on the trial to see if they make any point for me to have/use them.

Oh and 5.9 this morning 🙂

Starting the month with a 5.1 on this bright, sunny Berkshire morning after averaging a fasting 5.4 for September. Pleasantly cool on our post-breakfast walk to pick up the newspapers - 2 on Thursdays as it's local paper day. Kettle's on so will settle down shortly and have a good read.

As I mentioned yesterday I had to walk everywhere as both cars were being used. My phone App says I clocked up an astonishing 21,604 steps. No problem today as my wife and our eldest are both WFH.

Our eldest is 21 today so house is decorated with balloons and banners. Out for birthday meal tomorrow as Thursday is football training. His football always trumps everything, even his birthday.

Talking of Trump, anyone else appalled at the behaviour of the so-called leader of the free world during the first candidates debate? Heaven help us if he gets another 4 years.

Have a good day, and spare a thought for us down south as storm Alex sweeps in from the continent tomorrow. Now I'll find out how well I repaired our fence.

Happy birthday to #1 Son!

Hopefully at the next Debate they’ll mute the other mic during the two-minutes segments so that they can speak uninterrupted.

And here’s hoping your fence stands proud and strong for years to come!
 
Morning all, an unexpected 6.3 this morning, not sure why?
Been analysing the food diary and nothing sticks out apart from... da,da,da.. an evening hot chocolate, that would have done it! But of course I slept better, it's all a trade-off :(
Still it's almost light enough to go for a run.

You sound totally disciplined with your food diary. Do you do it manually or with an app?
