Group 7-day waking average?

Good Morning All
An 8.0 this morning. Don’t quite know how to explain these higher BG readings. It was 13.5 at bed. Diet about same. Unless Flu jab messed things up
Never mind. I don’t live with the beast, it lives with me, and although I have to embrace it from time to time when it gets stroppy it can be on its own to a certain degree. Lol
Have a great day.
 
7.1 this morning, though it was 6.7 when I went to bed ....
 
5.0 for me today .when to see the nurse yesterday on her request the first thing she said was I am really pushing for time and I have a lady waiting I said you asked to see me ,she said let see why o yes blood pressure have you got your readings they look good so no need to go back on tables .
cholesterol have you stopped the tables as the doctor said ,yes I said .i said can you give me my last five years cholesterol results she said no it was to hard then said you can write then down which I did I then asked why I couldn’t access them my self as I wanted the breakdown she said you can’t I then asked can I haveHbA1c blood test in dec she said no it will be yearly now as we are short of blood vessels.
I then said I had a ultrasound scan where they found a gallstone so said do I need to go back on statins she said don’t know will as doc and if so is there a lower dose and can I take it in the morning she said I will ask the doc .she went away came back with a prescription and said you can take them in the morning you will need a Cholesterol blood test in three months? And a hbA1c in six months .by this time total confusion forgot to ask about coming off metformin ,didn’t have any of my questions answered as she had ask me to bring them .went away totally confused.will have to ring doctor next week.hope you all have a good day x
 
Good morning all 🙂 Waking up with a respectable 6.1 after a pizza-cookie-cider induced 7.9o_O (must admit I was very pleased)

Nothing really to report but a better MH day yesterday, train tickets have been booked so seriously hoping Wales isn’t too affected by the rain 😱

Wishing everyone is safe, especially those in flood-affected areas 🙂
 
7.6 this morning. Saw the nursie yesterday, results are good, HbA1c down to 43. All other bloods really good, so I must be doing something right with my fumbling around in the dark with my diabetes.
I fell really daft, should have asked her if I should continue with the metformin 3 times a day. I'll flick her an email see if I can ditch them altogether.

Here is today's cartoon, please let me know if any of these are a bit too risque for anyone out there...I would not want to offend anyone of you here. Just want to brighten everyone's day on here.......

7.3 this morning which is a bit of a pain. I'd be happier if they were back in the 6s more consistently but I guess it's a combo of post 3rd covid injection and still quite a fair amount of stress.

WFH today and feeling the cold this morning so I've whacked the Instant Pot on to make mushroom soup for lunch - shoved the stuff in - shut the lid - turned it on and hope lol

07:06 BS 5.3 🙂 Worth getting up for: VERY reluctantly did so; still need some more sleep after yesterday!😳🙄

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

Yesterday was fine & 100 LR was what I needed: even a little bit high post meals & needed +2 or +4 more NR than usual! 🙄

But, feeling better now so, dialling back the LR now!

Will try & get some more z’s now? A stream of z’s emoji!

Sorry Lanny, what is LR please?

6.1 this morning (thank goodness) after a disastrous day yesterday - my own fault, forgetting to bolus at lunch and then bolussing and eating a bought dessert, spent most of the day in the teens. Completely ruined my TIR.

8.5. Been “high” above 7 and into 16’s all week. PCR negative. Daily Lateral flow negative. Feel like I’m ill with something. Seemingly not covid. There are a lot at school. Worst we’ve been “hit” since the start. It’ll be busy next week as we’ll be a number of staff down. I just hope they’re all ok. Worrying really.

Have a good day all.

Oops! I forget that not everybody gets the jargon especially, if it’s abbreviated! 😳

LR is the basal insulin I take, Levemir & NR is the bolus insulin I take, Novorapid.

Thank you. Who knows how the body and mind works, there is so much going on all of the time with no let up. I'd planned a restful week but it hasn't really turned out that way. Fingers crossed today and the weekend will be quiet.
I hope you are feeling better. Are you looking forward to getting back to work?

Bit of both really, want to get back to some sort of normality and only doing 3 hours a day but a bit nervous as well to be honest, I’m sure it will be fine once I get back into it.
Hope your weekend and today are very relaxing for you x
 
After a bit more sleep I wake again with 10:34 BS 5.8 🙂 Pleased with that as I could have laid there unable to sleep & ended up higher with DP, dawn phenomenon, rising! Also, slight reduction of 98 LR has still held me steady ish while I slept!

Just finished breakfast & was watching the World Gymnastics Championships in Japan that I completely missed last weekend on iPlayer! 😳😛:D😉 Thank goodness for catch up tv!:D
 
3.2 on the new Libre this morning. Uh-oh I thought.... not another sensor going west... reached for the glucose meter which quite amazingly confirmed 3.2 😱 , so I had a fizzy worm and got up. Next reading half an hour later was 5.8 with a vertical upward arrow. Amazing how 5g carbs can make such a huge difference.... although probably helped by a bit of FOTF. Annoyingly I had been in the 8s 9s and 10s all night and I hate to start the day so high so I jabbed a 1 unit correction earlier with my Levemir and went back to sleep. It's a very fine line balancing it sometimes!

@Grannylorraine So pleased the op was a success and things are looking more promising. You must be so relieved to have that behind you now. Hope you heal well and are soon back to running.

@Bexlee So sorry to hear that your half term is being blighted by illness when you were so in need of the batteries being recharged. Hope you are feeling better soon.
 
Hi everyone hope you're all good 🙂
7:19am 5.0 within target - 16.0 units of tresiba taken
23:08pm 4.4 tiny bit below target also below 7/8 for bed so had 4x rich tea biscuits

I had breakfast out this morning with the girls from work
10:01am 7.9 - 36g of carbs estimated - 4.5 units of humalog food and 0.5 units humalog correction

I'm off out tonight with my hubby and son - first for a chinese then to see a comedian. I will no doubt have my usual chinese meal of chicken fried rice and will estimate it from carbs and cals egg fried rice
 
Afternoon all. Late on today as had to bob into Reading Hospital first thing for an ultrasound. When I had my medical the GP could feel my aorta pulsing and he suspected it was because I had lost weight but wanted to rule out an aortic aneurism. Scan complete and all good with no signs of any issues which is a relief.

I managed a 6.7 this morning - I suspect stress related as I was worried about the scan

Hope you feel better soon @Bexlee! There are so many bugs going around schools atm. I'm glad its not Covid. If you're not feeling better by Monday though, make sure you are one of the members of staff down too. Working through it will only make you feel worse and you don't get better thought of. Your health comes first.

Why do folks WANT to walk on the beach with a coffee? That puzzles me!

To complete “the look” of course - Ugg boots, Dry robe, mobile in one hand, coffee in the other, windswept golden highlights, moody pout (and that’s just the men!). 😛 😳:D
 
@Grannylorraine so pleased to hear you are home and resting. Glad all went well and I hope the results are all good. Take good care xx
