Group 7-day waking average?

4.2 slightly lower carbs of late just to shift the last of the weight keeping water intake up.

Not a lot of difference there then between the 2. Which way was the scan arrow pointing?
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
6:32am and 6.2 for me so bgl in range - 16u of tresiba done

9:53pm - 7.9 before breakfast so in range which is good - 36g of carbs and 3.5u humalog - at breakfast yesterday and on Friday my bolus advisor advised 1u correction but I dismissed this because I've got to go with ether my DSN's advice of only correct over 10mmol or the bolus advisor's advice - I would be grateful for some feedback about this please.

23:49pm 5.5 bedtime and in range but below 8mmol so had 1 bag of mini cheddars 13g of carbs.
 
8.3 for me this morning after allowing Ian to tempt me into sharing his fish and chips followed by a piece of misshape chocolate flapjack. Thought it was just going to be a little bite sized piece from the packet he showed me but was easily more than double that when he handed it to me. Of course I didn't have to eat it all but I was always brought up to clear my plate. Didn't prebolus for any of it, just injected and ate as it was quite an impromptu meal and ended up in double figures for hours afterwards despite 2 quite generous corrections. Whilst it was nice, it wasn't worth the BG upheaval and it is a slippery slope with sweet stuff like that for me, so won't be repeating that experiment for a good while. It has totally ruined by PB TIR and I am not happy about that. Maybe I am getting a tad obsessive about my diabetes management when a good TIR percentage makes me happier than a piece of flapjack....
 
Afternoon everyone. Waking level was 4.8 this morning, i've decided its definitely the heat thats lowering it.
I really fancied fish and chips at the seaside before we came home but everywhere was packed solid, queues for a takeaway were about 20 deep and there was no shade. Finally decided to come home a couple of hours earlier so now sitting in the shade relaxing, counting the days until i break up for summer.
Stay cool and hydrated everyone. Enjoy the rest of the day.

Evening all. 7.6 @ 7.03 for me. 🙂 I was mowing at 9, sorry neighbours, before it got too hot! Phew.
 
Sorry for the short post this morning wasn't in the best of moods, neighbours were out the back (right outside my window) until the early hours playing music etc so up at 5:20 with around 1 hour kip and was feeling sick due to the day ahead, was a right effort to get breakfast and dinner down and left the non carbs of my tea BUT (excuse the c**p pic)

@mum2westiesGill it was a steady arrow but means nothing as it stopped working tonight! :(

OH WOW!!!! Well done @Kaylz. I know that must have taken a huge effort on your part. I hope it all went smoothly. Bruce looks chuffed to bits and so proud of you! Just fab!

I'm really sorry your sensor has stopped working - have you got a spare one or will you have to contact Abbott?

That's really bad of your neighbours!

Ps love your pic xx
 
@Kaylz I know I have no right to be BUT I’m really proud of you, wonderful news xxx

05:09 BS 6.0 🙂

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

Yesterday was another long day of very exciting golf. The Japanese American guy did indeed win from 1 shot behind the leader going into the final round on his first time playing The Open! It’s only his second year as a pro & he’d already won his first major last year, with no patrons, playing at The US PGA for the first time as well! He’s truly made his mark & a new star is here as he’s the first ever golfer to win two majors playing them for the first time! 😱😎:D So, that’s the second time a new comer playing The Open for the first time has won at Royal St. George’s as Ben Curtis also did it in 2003 !😱 Collin Morikawa is being compared to Tiger Woods already & indeed his Iron shots are very reminiscent of Tiger’s in his hay day: putting is the only weak point with quite a few missed putts at the start but, he got better each round & by the final round yesterday he overtook the lead; Bristish links greens are much slower than the US’ much faster greens & he’s only played them these last two weeks when he came over to play The Scottish Open last week & bogeyed, +1, his first five holes!😱 He learnt & adjusted REALLY fast!😎

NOW the next big event is next week with The Olympics in Tokyo next week! :D The ONLY other event where I’m EVEN more of a telly zombie!😳🙄:D😉
 
A satisfactory 5.8 at 05:45 to start the week.
My sister in law came to stay last night as her husband died yesterday. I’m not sure what the day holds. I think the funeral will be on Wednesday as these things happen very quickly in NI. For some reason way quicker than in England.
