Group 7-day waking average?

Greetings everyone,
All over the place with reporting today with a waking reading of snap @Michael12421 of 5.7!

Just sat down phew!

Blessings Snowwy

People are normally started on conservative doses, and then adjust them to their own needs. You need what you need, and the target is good blood sugar readings. Have you been offered a carb counting course? They’ve put most of them on line. I did the BERTIE course, https://www.bertieonline.org.uk/ because I wasn’t offered anything by my HCPs.

No I wasn’t only found out about it on this forum, I tried signing on but don’t seem to get very far before I’m cut off - will keep trying
 
3.7 for me this morning after a rather difficult night.
Went to bed on a nice 6.4 and for once I had eaten early and bolus insulin all spent before bed. Didn't do as much exercise yesterday but kept Levemir at the reduced level of 4 units same as last night. Woke up at 4am on 5.3 and decided to top things up with a Dextrose tablet. Woke up at 5.44 on 3.2 so had another 3 dextrose tablets. Woke again at 7.30 on 4.3 but feeling shattered, so had another dextrose tablet and went back to sleep and still woke up too low 20 mins later! Will be dropping my evening Levemir to 2.5 units tonight. Fingers crossed I get it right this time. I really dislike night time hypos!
Hope everyone has as good a weekend as their local restrictions and the weather allows.

Hypos can really take it out of you. I hope things are better tonight.
 
06:27 BS 7.2 pretty much the same as yesterday & got it down a bit better in the 10’s! 🙂 Throat is still just a wee bit dry & it could be the heating so, drinking more water & need to go to the bathroom a bit more: very chilly yesterday!🙄 Oddly enough just got my quarterly electrics bill in the post yesterday & I’m £930 in credit so, it’s almost at the point where they’ll have to refund me the excess & lower my monthly payment plan: I’ve been using less & less these last few years; got £800 refunded just before Christmas last year & it’ll be more this year despite lower payments!🙄 Got a letter last year saying when the credit reaches £1000+ they have to refund & took my payment off that so, nice cheque & nothing to pay that quarter but, payment reviews are just once a year in June: carried on overpaying until then; still been overpaying all year this year too! Wish there was a better way of doing things but, a quarterly bill paid all at once is a huge chunk that’s harder to budget for!:confused:

Loved Strictly last night: Maisie & Hrvy were really good; Jason Bell’s footwork was good too & thought Craig’s 3 was SO mean!:D😛😱:(

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
Having fallen off the wagon for a couple of days, a not unsurprising 6.2 this morning. However an average of 5.5 for the week is spot on. I’ve nothing mechanical anymore so the clocks went back themselves. Have a good Sunday.
 
Morning

A slightly low 4.3 and no idea why, best keep an eye on things 🙄
xx
 
Morning all, 5.0 again. Going to a nearby garden/woodland for a walk with our children this morning, we planned it before yesterday’s storm, so all the pretty leaves will probably have been blown away.

For the first time since my diagnosis my ‘Dawn Phenomenon’ was 7.7 in the green zone!! Feel like celebrating with a doughnut for breakfast - but I won’t

It may not be dawn phenomenon, it may just be that your insulin doses aren't right as I'm sure I saw you don't adjust your bolus so assume you don't adjust your basal either? xx

My wife recently bought a knee cushion to help her sleep. I had no idea there was such a thing. Seems to be having the desired effect, though.

Yes I’ve seen them around the shops. However I know this is just muscular and will pass but thanks very much x
 
Snap @Northerner 7.1 for me as well. Back home today after a relaxing long weekend, I do love our van we are so lucky. Stopping off in Steyning on the way back to look at a pair of bedside cabinets for our bedroom, I hope they are as nice as they look on Marketplace. Have struggled to find something old but in good condition, fingers crossed. Knee not so bad last night, should be back to normal in a couple of days.
@Michael12421 another good result, well done.
@khskel have a great time. Are you just ‘jamming’ or actually recording - whichever have a great time.
PS was very naughty and a chocolate biscuit last night, who would have thought you could feel such a daredevil having one biscuit lol.
Enjoy your Sunday x
