Group 7-day waking average?

[TinaD]

Maybe some disagreement amongst medicos there, my diabetic nursie told me the range was 5-10 as normal.

Diabetes UK says -

Normal and diabetic blood sugar ranges​

For the majority of healthy individuals, normal blood sugar levels are as follows:

• Between 4.0 to 5.4 mmol/L (72 to 99 mg/dL) when fasting [361]
• Up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating

For people with diabetes, blood sugar level targets are as follows:

• Before meals : 4 to 7 mmol/L for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes
• After meals : under 9 mmol/L for people with type 1 diabetes and under 8.5mmol/L for people with type 2 diabetes

Diabetes.org says as above:

My diabetesmyway scot nhs says Normal blood glucose ranges for people without diabetes are 3.5–5.5 mmol/L (millimoles per litre) before meals and less than 8 mmol/L two hours after meals. Foe people with diabetes, the closer the blood glucose is to normal, the better.

So there is some difference of opinion but not so high as 10.

@TinaD whilst that is advice printed people have varying targets dependant on personal circumstances and discussed with whoever provides their care so not everyone has the same target ranges xx

FBG 5.6 this morning. Small, very fat pony barely visible through low cloud/fog is, as usual, determinedly eating. She smugly knows that her pregnancy will prevent me enforcing a strict diet.

I am not looking at "target" since my supposed medical advisers have not set any. I am looking for normal levels to achieve remission.

A much improved 5.6 for me today, although I have full body aches and a scratchy throat this morning, and struggled with my run last night which is only 5K, was quite slow for me, and I have started bleeding again, so don't know if that is still from the op just over 3 weeks ago or that the polyps they removed were not the cause of my bleeding.

@merrymunky - Eris is lovely a real cutie. I agree with @rebrascora - you can do it, but it is hard when you eat a high carb high sugar diet as that was me pre-diagnosis, and like you I have fallen off the wagon at times and gone back to that way of eating. Keep coming on here for support.

Have a good day everyone, sunny here in Thurrock part of Essex, but looks cold, haven't ventured outside yet.

My point was referring to the picture you posted in response to barfly's comment which indicate targets which are dependant on individuals and circumstances

In regards to your testing then you may well be in a "normal" range, remember meters aren't 100% accurate and have a tolerated error margin

A 5.4 for me at 05:40 this morning.

Not a lot to report today, just trying to catch up on some work

I don't know what your surgery was but I wonder if you have been doing a bit too much exercise too soon afterwards.
I hope you get it sorted quickly.

Morning all. 6.6 again for me today.
In a rush, cut and blow and ‘tash removal this morning. Pick up Mr Eggy’s Darjeeling from our local coffee and tea emporium, meet middle daughter on her lunch break, primarily to help me chose some sports clothes for granddaughter’s birthday, but we will pop somewhere for lunch too!
Im planning on walking and need to set off at about 9.30 ish. I’m showered but haven’t had my breakfast and as some of you know, I need to make sure that’s eaten and back out again before I can leave the house! I hate early appointments!

This afternoon baby Zara is coming for her first sleepover. Mummy and daddy are going to Newcastle to see Sam Fender ( yeah, me too. Apparently he’s a singer). I may be on early tomorrow!

Have a fab day everyone.

And as everyone else is showing baby pics, here’s the girl herself. She’s 8 months old now! She isn’t really in the woods with her Gaga’s teddy, but Mr Eggy is experimenting with his photography at the minute. We were at the woods on Monday and he’d taken the photo of Zara a couple of weeks ago. 🙂

iTunes through up a Sam Fender tune this morning!

Hi all

4.3 this morning and a nice straightish line, though it was 6.1 at 3.32 am. Woke up then to use the bathroom and was awake until at least 6am. Strange the things you think about when you can't sleep, but I didn't think hubby would appreciate being woken at 4:30 to be asked if we have any white bread in the freezer as I need 30g to make almond sauce today...

Lovely photos of little girls....

Hope all of you are well this grey and gloomy day in Cornwall.

I’m now currently watching All 4 Grand Designs House of the Year 2021 with the first episode of 4 surprising houses with only 1 going onto the short list of the final 4: 4 houses in each of 4 categories with 1 from each making it to the final. 😎 Looking forward to seeing all the houses & see which one wins it?

I watched that last night. The thing that struck me was that none of the houses had a chair that you could remotely call comfortable! I wouldn’t have wanted to live in any of them. I wonder if they bundle all their clutter and comfy sofas into a self storage unit and hire some designer stuff when they hear the judges/film crew arriving. One of the houses even had a garden where every plant was at exactly the right size and stage of flowering/foliage…almost as if it had all arrived from the garden centre that morning.

Thanks for this Tina, makes me wonder what's happening at my surgery, since lockdown they've become like the local MI5 spooks, totally unaccessible and hidden from sight........

Funny you should say that! That first episode of this series gave me a hankering to start watching the previous 5 series on All 4 starting from 2015 when the first architectural prize usually presented “behind doors”, as it were, first “opened up it’s doors” with Grand Designs to show the public the houses up for the prize: every year since 2015 except for last year 2020!

In series 1 Kevin made the point that all the minimalist look means you need somewhere to hide “all your ****” & opened up all the cabinets in a row to show teeming shelves of toys & stuff put wily nily inside them: also, showed REALLY messy junk rooms in some of those immaculate houses that year, 2015, where all their stuff is hidden from view! By the way, I don’t like this current laughing emoji as it’s more of a cheesy grin than a laugh!🙄 But, I DO really like the rolling in laughter Like reaction emoji!

It made me laugh that Kevin did that just to show us, at home, that real people, with children & families, live in those houses & have messy cupboards and/or junk rooms too behind the perfect facades! 😛😉

Good morning - 9.4

Yesterday afternoon I had both my 'flu jab and a Covid booster jab

 

[Lanny]

05:32 BS 4.6 Another Eek! 😱 Again awake early to head off another hypo! A couple of sips of full sugar coke as I post!🙄

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

DRAT! 😉 Thought it would be nice to post the last post of yesterday & have the first post of today but, Alas! My slow typing & I see a notification come up so, SOMEONE has finished posting first!😉

So, I might as well take my time, now! 🙄😉

Just as well my next dose of basal will be Tresiba later this morning & hopefully no more waking in the 4’s for a while at least? I ended up with 49 units left in 1 pen & 30 units left in the other for a total of 79 so, plus that 32 I wasted with the one handed phone in my hand debacle that would have been enough for one last dose!😳 As it was, it was definitely a pang to squirt all that all out to empty the pens before binning them!

Oh! THIS has just happened AGAIN to me a few times in this post so…… Am I the only one to have my emojis almost always show up at the top of the post when I use the dots to access them, have to delete that, make sure the cursor is where I finished my text & post the emoji again?: it’s tedious to have this keep happening; especially when I use SO many emojis! 🙄 Am I doing something wrong? Making me feel like a numpty!😳😉

 

[Lanny]

Good morning - 9.4

Yesterday afternoon I had both my 'flu jab and a Covid booster jab

Knew it! @Michael12421 got the first post of the day in with a one sentence post! 😉

I liked it because it’s better than the lows you have posted in the past!

It takes less scrambling around like I had to to yesterday & this morning! Good thing the coke is ready to hand on my bedside chest of drawers table top but, it’s warm & that’s not great! 😱🙄😉

 

[Lanny]

There we are…06:07 BS 5.5 🙂 And I’ll have breakfast now!😛
