khskel said:
Morning all and a back in the house special 5.2 for me.

Got to down load the rough mixes today and see if our efforts were up to scratch

Have a good day everyone.

Great photo. What sort of music do you play?
 
We have just had a curfew imposed, bars have to close at 10.30pm and you have to be in your house at 11pm. Does not affect my personally because at 11pm I have already been in bed for 4 hours. Can't go out until 9am.

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

Been struggling for a while now (doctors are aware), yesterday waking BG was 18.1, today was 12.2

No, most of them tend to read low, which is why I was surprised when the last one was almost entirely in line with blood readings throughout! As you say, a sensor reading low when you already have good control gives a lot of false hypos and messes up your statistics :( I have just had a 14 day stretch with zero hypos on the old sensor, and already 1 on the new one! I don't use basal insulin, so any overnight 'hypos' are incorrect. You ought to be able to calibrate a sensor by taking blood readings on the reader, and also discard any readings from sensors that are completely inaccurate and get replaced 🙂

Gosh, I love those sensors that are 100% accurate. I agree, maybe in time we can discard the error readings. My last predicted HbA1c result was 27 which shows how under my readings were! Oh well, I still love my sensor, just have my favourites!

4 is often stated as the floor and 10 the ceiling so you're only just outside (I'm assuming this was a fasting test on waking, before you ate or drank anything). After a few morning readings you should see a clear picture of how you're doing.

Thanks Martin,
Yes the reading was before any thing. I do hope for better tomorrow!
 
2.9 for me this morning.... 😱
I had woken 40mins earlier on 4.1 with an horizontal arrow and taken a dextrose tablet in an attempt to keep me in range but my evening Levemir was obviously at it's peak activity and determined to take me down. If I had got up then of course DP would have kept me in range, so it is my own fault for sleeping a bit longer. Don't think I was actually as low as 2.9 because all my sensors read a bit lower than finger prick at the low end of the scale but rather disappointing that I didn't manage to head off that hypo. Increased my morning Levemir to 18 today and that has held me much steadier today without needing corrections but I may dial my evening dose back one unit tonight.

Congratulations to @ColinUK and @khskel on your HS's
 
Good morning.Yesterday evening was so very strange. I felt just fine but was down o 2 test strips and as All Saints - today - is a holiday I decided to go to the pharmacy to get some more. It's only half a km there and back. Barely got home before I was on my knees reaching for JB's! Tested right away and I was 2.9. In no state to cook I just ate fast acting carbs like there was no tomorrow. Then I fell asleep. Woke up at 5am. Am now 3.6 and eating breakfast.
 
Morning all
A 6.0 this morning,
@Michael12421 sounds a bit scary...

Blessings Snowwy
 
4.9 on a very stormy last day of October!
 
Morning all. Very blustery and nippy. Forgot to take bg. I thought it was All Saints tomorrow? I must go cem...
 
Morning all. 6.7 today. Ears are ringing with my grandsons non stop verbal diarrhoea. 😳Only managed to get the smallest of pumpkins yesterday but he was happy with it, bless him. Am going to peg some small bags of sweets to my small tree out front today for the trick or treaters but think weather is going to be rubbish, will have to ensure the foxes don’t get them.
@Northerner did you ever imagine from your original post that this thread would turn into what it has, I guess not, but what a great one 🙂
Have a good day everyone xx
 
Morning All, my weekly read is 6.1 today (down from 6.7 last saturday) but still in the 6's
 
Morning

This week hasn’t been Bruce’s week at all, Tuesday he was late to work as he had to phone his dad and ask for a lift due to them putting a small town service bus on for that run, he gets on at the 2nd stop in the town and watched a few that were there first get on but it then reached its limit, now his phone is on the way out and the lock button is being very temperamental, unfortunately I can’t afford to help him out and he can’t even use one of our old phones as the SIM is a different size :(

Anyways its a 4.6 for me today, very wet, very cold and I just want to head back to bed which I would do if I didn't have Bubbles to watch, think it's time to talk to Bruce about taking him back
xx
 
Morning all, 8.3 for me today.
The fact that they've announced another potential lockdown for the UK I'm glad I'm not in work this weekend as I have a feeling its gonna be a madhouse!
 
Morning all, 3.9 here, my normally predictable dawn rise seems to have gone on holiday. Talking of which, looks like our upcoming Devon break will be scuppered. All I want to do is walk along some cliff paths!
 
Good morning everyone, I have gone through hell and back but feeling better and 6.5 this morning.
My 27 year old daughter got caught up in a hammer attack in London on the tube, she was fine but looked after two injured young men and called the ambulance. Very traumatic for her, but dead proud of how when everyone else ran away, she stayed to help, and was the only one. She is taking time off work to recover, and is with her two sisters who are supporting her. I would love to go but she says no as they all took masks off and no socially distancing happened.
I wish you all a good day.
