Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone
Well I should not have had that extra rich tea biscuit at bedtime last night - I was a nice 6.4 at bedtime so a bit lower than 8.0 for bedtime

8:19am 18.2!!!! 4.0 units humalog correction done and 16.0 units tresiba done

9:15am before breakfast 11.9 so although it's still above target at least it's come back down

It's just a worry now what it will be at lunchtime
 
no reading for me today as I forgot to take a new pack of strips upstairs with me last night. Was at hospital again first thing for more tests and had to have 2 blood tests 15 mins apart. Just the Covid test Sunday morning then I think that is the last of the tests done.

@Northerner - congrats on your HS

@eggyg - I have a granddaughter who is 9 today as well.

@ColinUK - sending you virtual hugs, I liked your post just so you know it was read and here supporting you.

Have a great weekend, I have to try and fit 12km of running in before I need to start isolating on Sunday after my covid test.
 
Hellooo! 7.7 this morning. Had an appointment with the diabetes nurse and she's very happy with where my morning numbers are, doesn't want me to increase the Tresiba any more. Doesn't think I'm going to need any rapid acting for the time being as numbers are relatively stable during the day, but encouraging me to reduce carbs a bit.

She did however manage to mention weight loss a bazillion times. I know it'll help, but dieting in general doesn't do my brain any good and I end up in a binge eating pattern. It's a frustrating thing to negotiate.
 
Congrats to @Northerner and the HS. Stay strong @ColinUK - we are all here for you.

Afternoon everyone. A 5.7 for me this morning. That's 3 fives on the bounce which I'm happy with after my string of sixes.

The good news is we have finished the family court hearing and been granted the Special Guardianship Order. So baby Hugo is with us for the next 18 years. He didn't have the best start to his life but hopefully we can make the rest of his life better.
 
Good morning...oops afternoon everyone 🙂

Bedtime reading was spot on (7.2) but 2 digestives is apparently too much because I woke up at 8.8 😳 I injected Levemir and waited an hour but still only 8.2 so just corrected with breakfast. That correction was not the best idea because I was 3.4 at lunch:confused:

But other than that, life is ok, chilling at nans today 🙂

Wishing everyone a good day :D
 
Huge congratulations to the whole family @adrian1der Please give baby Hugo a hug from me. I know the relief 57 years ago, when my parents adopted my sister. (And she’s still a pain but I love her dearly).
 
Wonderful news @adrian1der and what a lucky boy Hugo is to have such a loving family. Love to all your family and hugs and kisses for baby Hugo xxx

@ColinUK stay strong Colin, better times will come xx

That’s great news about Hugo! Congrats to all of you!
 
Got a bit emotional at work today. Mainly because I felt like nobody was hearing what I was saying.
Of you the folks tonight and it’s just the three of us. Am anxious I’ll tell them very edited highlights about the last of the three assaults and that it’s possibly going to Court.
Reached out to my brother, s-in-l and nephew saying that… easier if I show you.

Park Run tomorrow will be slow. Going to do walk/run instead of run.
it’sa rectangle so I’ll walk the long and run the short. It’ll take forever but it’s the sensible thing to do.
 
Half marathon isn’t until April so there’s time to not injure myself if I’m sensible. Unlike last time out - ooh my knees!

I don't do running, I'll do a treadmill happily but last time /i ran (for a bus after college) I face planted the pavement and took chunks out of my palm lol, sorry only trying to have a bit of a laugh, feeling pretty lonely myself after Bruce has sworn, shouted and called me names for the second night in a row without even telling me what I've apparently done wrong :( xx
 
@Kaylz sometimes we have to laugh



What do you call a chicken staring at a pile of lettuce?

Chicken Caesar salad!
 
Morning everyone 🙂 Up at 4:45am today, because we’re picking up sister from university:D

8.2 atm, but should hopefully drop by the time we have breakfast

Have a great day all :D
 
Good morning 6.2

glad the weekend is here as relaxation needed
It was a difficult day yesterday
 
6.4 for me this morning and a lovely flat line all night with no evening Levemir at all. I did another 8 mile yomp yesterday evening after mucking out and that has taken care of my basal needs overnight. Thought I might get away without the 2 units for my ratatouille and ham evening meal but I had to stick them in at bedtime as levels hit 8.9 with a vertical upward arrow, so once that blip on my graph was dealt with I had a lovely horizontal line in the 5s all night just rising ever so slightly before I woke up.
I injected a bit extra Fiasp this morning for DP/FOTF with not having any overnight basal to work on it but I am starting to think that might have been a mistake and I may have to have a little treat after breakfast.... a couple of dried apricots perhaps. 🙂

@ColinUK So sorry to read you were struggling last night. I hope you managed to get some sleep and that today is a better day. I do admire you going to Park Run when you are clearly struggling mentally and emotionally. It will do you good but it takes a lot of strength to push yourself to get out when you are in a bad place mentally. I hope you come back from it feeling refreshed and invigorated.
 
Morning all, 5.6 here, flat line all night for me too. (we won’t talk about the excursion into double figures earlier in the evening after fish and chips). Back home today, hence the earlier start, need to be our of the cottage by 9am.
