Group 7-day waking average?

Lord only knows what state my BG will be in tomorrow. Just been told I've got an interview at 9am tomorrow for a promotion and I've also got a day volunteering with SurvivorsUK.
I reached out to their CEO and offered help. We chatted and I am basically going to be overseeing their entire fundraising campaigning.

It's become a bit like "hoover" in that respect. Or "sellotape".

Sellotape is called "Durex" in Aussie........

Good on you with the promotion and volunteering Colin.

7.7 this morning after pigging out on a packet of pistachios 🙄. Going to pack today and have been given an appointment for bladder and bowel service today after it was cancelled. The first one available was 27th January but they decided I needed to be seen and so was offered one today - how does that work? Still I’m not complaining.
Soo excited about our long weekend away, photos of where we are going below. It is an Elizabethan country manor where Henry VIII courted Jane Seymour and is supposed to be the 2nd most haunted house in the country!!
Have a good day all xx

Tracking my BG a little more throughout the day today as I'm a little perturbed by the high(ish) numbers I'm getting in the morning.
So today I've tracked it down to where it is now at 5.7 which is after lunch.
Curious to see where it finishes this evening as I'm planning on cycling another 5km home after work and it won't be leaving the office until about 8pm or so.
I'm thinking that perhaps the exercise spikes my levels and that they stay up if I have a disturbed sleep that night.

Might be worth checking before the exercise. On reaching home then on a regular basis till bed.
might shed light on the mater.
when I go swimming BG falls during exercise but the has been know to climb on way home or stay the same. It’s something I watch carefully as hope when money improves to try and get my scuba license back. Then I will have to know what it’s doing if 20 meters plus underwater.

Good luck today with both. Great that you are volunteering
 
I could have been first up this morning but just felt strangely deflated after a strained evening with my wife. Too tired this morning.

BG 4.9

Off to fix a sound system at a local church later on. I amhoping that it's not too cold there.
 
7.2 today and no time to dawdle. Appt yesterday went fine, lovely nurse but the smallest pad they could offer was HUGE, even she said it was way too big for me, so I’ll have to continue buying my own - oh well nothing new there.
Have a good day all.
@ColinUK good luck for your interview and we’ll done for volunteering, you’ll be great I’m sure.
Xx
 
6.8 this morning after a 7 before bed.
That was up significantly from the 5.5 prior to my 5km cycle home so maybe there is a link between the exertion of exercise and my BG over the next few hours or so.
Makes sense that there is as the body is going to produce fuel for the physical requirements of the exercise.
Hopefully if I keep going with the exercise then I’ll get used to it and it won’t trigger an insulin dump.
 
Morning all. 6.4 after a 1u overnight correction. Its frosty here. I'm glad its Friday.
 
Morning all, 5.6 here. Turned out dull and gloomy yesterday, despite eye screening, and I’d banked on getting the washing dry on the line. Lady doing the screening showed me the pictures and said everything looked fine, that’s the first time that’s happened, they’ve always taken the 'I'm just the photographer, I can’t show them to you, wait for your letter' line before.
Very frosty here this morning, I don’t think the dahlias liked it much.
 
3.8 for me and that was my second dip into the red. First one was 2.45am and for once I had a full hypo treatment which lifted levels but then I dropped again. No idea why. I ate very early which is really unusual for me (maybe that was part of the problem) and went to bed on 10.1. Only thing I can see is that I wore PJs last night and maybe I was a bit too warm through the night. Normally I sleep flat and soundly but I had clearly been tossing and turning last night judging by the state of the duvet when I woke up, so maybe I was too hot. I have storage heaters so the house is usually at it's warmest in the morning. Interestingly @freesia I too was having odd dreams about people passing out just before I woke up hypo. The brain is an incredibly clever organ.

@ColinUK Good luck today with your interview... I hope you smash it!
 
7.1 this morning. Grocery shopping today with the daughter, that will get some steps in. Flipping freezing this morning at just 1'c - brrr! Have a good day all 🙂
 
Good morning everyone 🙂 Starting a very exciting day with my first 5.2 in 2 months:D

Travelling to my friends for the weekend so really looking forward to that 🙂

Had a dietitian appointment yesterday afternoon and there was a lot to discuss. Nighttime Levemir has dropped to 4, weight has gone up a bit (60.8 up from 60), we seem confident that we will reach our target (as long as I 100% commit), and now I know how to balance my running with weight management 🙂 (feel more confident that I can just jump back into it, was a bit hesitant before)

Wishing everyone a pleasant Friday 🙂97B58C16-A872-490C-A4E8-ECF071770878.jpeg
