Group 7-day waking average?

Hi Everyone, I went AWOL for quite a while. Depression, etc and it was driving me insane constantly fingerpricking. Well its been a long time but finally this week I have my Libre, it took qiuite a while to get to see the consultant, wait for all the stuff, webinar, supplies and had to buy a new phone because the 4 month old huawei phone didin't support the app. Anyway hope that you are all well and sorry I haven't posted x
 
4.4 this morning. Since then have been shopping in the county town with a friend. The restaurant we had hoped to have lunch in was closed, so we went to another I knew of, which has changed hands and is now vegetarian. I think the Falafel sandwich was a bit much carbwise as I shot up to 14.5, but it's coming down now, all the traipsing round shops carrying heavy bags should help. Still, got hubby's main present and some interesting stocking fillers.

@Kaylz, hope you are feeling better.

@freesia hope your shopping went well.

@rebrascora hope the DF has definitely left you for good now.

Great to see you back, but sorry to hear that your absence was because you were struggling. Hope you feel able to make a daily visit now. Fab news that you now have Libre. Do you want to share this morning's waking reading with us??
 
Well! WHAT a difference a day makes? From being high & correcting with Novorapid yesterday I’ve gone from that heading off a hypo at 3 hours & 15 minutes after eating lunch so, ate a couple of ham & cheese sandwiches as fast as I could make them, made one & ate that before making the other one, & NR after eating the 2nd sandwich & waiting for the full 4 hours on the timer before injecting -8, for safety as I needed at least -2 then, - 4 from that for the next meal & finally -2 again for being lower, it may be TOO cautious but, better THAT to be safe just as Strictly dances were over & I’d voted! 😱 Tresiba after the second dose earlier today is up to speed then & I don’t need as much Novorapid as before! So, NR definitely needs reducing & maybe the Tresiba? Will see what happens overnight & tomorrow? If I’m low again after tomorrow I’ll reduce the Tresiba? Before lunch 16:17 BS 6.6 & at 3 hours & 15 minutes after 19:52 BS 4.7😱
 
06:45 BS 7.1 but not waking as I’ve been awake since 2am. I ate dinner straight after the BS 4.7 last night as I meant to test, as usual, at the 2 hours after lunch mark but, got distracted by Strictly & it was 3 hours & 15 minutes after instead! Was surprised by the 4.7 & only had 28 units of NR instead of my usual 32 around 2035 after eating & 4 hours of active lunch fose to be extra cautious. I’d pitched it about right too as at the 2 hours after mark I was borderline at 22:35 BS 8.6 & tried going to bed but, I worried about going lower so, had a mint humbug before dozing off. Woke & tested just after 2am 02:17 BS 7.2 after active NR & stayed up to basal test the conclusion is that 76 units of Tresiba seems to be holding me steady but, need less Novorapid for some reason, I wonder if the overlap after the lunchtime dose is going to be an ongoing problem & if so I’ll need to reduce NR if I eat during those few hours in the afternoon? I’ll test closely around that time this afternoon to see? 🙄

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

I think I’ll try & get a bit more sleep now, if I can OR my stomach may dictate that I eat? Hmm! 🙄

AND as I typed that…. my stomach just gave a seismic eruption soooh, it’s breakfast first! 😱
 
7.2 this morning. Bit of a sore throat and what feels like start of a cold. Hopefully it won’t actually arrive full blast.

Park Run yesterday was challenging. Did Hampstead Heath which was beautiful, very hilly, very muddy but I’ll be back to that one again I’m sure. I’m getting stronger if not quicker at the moment and my knees don’t hurt afterwards so that’s all positive.
Was lapped by an octogenarian who was on her 148th Park Run which gives me a target to beat. One day I’ll beat her to the finish line!
 
Good morning everyone.

Day 1 of my self isolation and already it feels horrible not being able to go out when I want (or need) to. And we are only a few hours in too.

BG this morning 4.5. Good

Updated my App to display, record and print (at the end of the isolation) a self isolation record showing all relevant stuff for the required 10 days.

Have a 'good day' to you all.
 
Morning all 4.1
It's been a while and all good so far after review + bloods last Thursday. Dr phoned me Friday, looked at phone and thought here we go Liver is worse but to my suprise all bloods were normal, HBA1C 35, Cholesterol good, first time since 2012 the liver had taken a right bashing over the years due to diet as I gave Alcohol up 20yrs ago.

Looks like diet change has made a big difference in every aspect of my health, such simple changes can make all the difference.
 
Morning

9.9 for me xx
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
7:53am 5.8 - 15.0 units of tresiba done

23:18pm before bed 5.7 - had 2x rich tea biscuits
19:15pm before tea 4.2 - 78g of carbs - 7.0 units humalog food

What's your target range?

4-7 but my basal needs are less through the night than during the day and as you know Tresiba isn't adjustable to that so I have no option but to shove a load of carbs down my neck at bedtime especially as I can drop 7mmol in an hour after getting up
 
6.9 this morning but my stats are blown as Libre had me in the red for a good proportion of the night (4.5 hours 😱 ), despite not injecting any evening Levemir (ie -3 units) Did rather more exercise yesterday late afternoon than I intended, Surprisingly my BG held amazingly steady throughout despite no lunch and no extra carbs, but I knew it would drop low overnight which is why I skipped the evening Levemir dose and had some slow acting carbs at bedtime. To be fair, when I eventually woke up and found myself in the red, a finger prick showed me as 4.3 so I probably wasn't actually hypo at all but Libre said 3.2 and my PB TIR of yesterday well gone! 2 Lift tablets brought me up and I did have a lovely long sleep apart from that minor disruption.

@Maca44 Many congratulations on your fantastic results and great to hear from you again. Don't be a stranger!

@Robin I think we can give you that one as an House Special, but don't make a habit of it! We all know if you had got the 5.2 first, you would have been up out of bed straight away and claiming it though! 😉 I know I would!
 
8.1 This morning. And I forgot to mention I have also had my first cataract operation in Sept. Just waiting for news of the second one. Have a good day everyone, the north wind has arrived this morning and its sunny but cold on the top of the mountain!
 
Morning all. 4.5 for me after the low alarm going off from 4am and several JBs. Its probably from all the walking when shopping yesterday but we had a fab day, lovely meals and 2 delicious cocktails.
 
Forgot to add this
Screenshot_20211121-085313.jpg pretty pleased with that! I've not been like that in a very long while.
 
Morning all. 7.9! Don’t know where that came from. 6.9 at bedtime, had a snack. Light off an hour later and was 5.3! Then it seems I went steadily up from 4am. :confused:

Beautiful frosty and bright morning. Million times better than yesterday’s mizzle and murk. Still had a little walk through the nature reserve before Mr Eggy’s booster. He got Moderna this time. Pfizer for first two. He feels fine, arm a bit achy but that’s normal.

Having a “at home” day today. I feel I’ve been in and out like a fiddlers elbow for the last couple of weeks. Catch up with Strictly and prep my Hairy Bikers pork Wellington, first time trying it after I saw it on their last series. Let’s hope it’s not as tough as old boots! 😛

Have a good day all. 🙂
@Maca44 nice to see you back and very well done.
@Robin it’s definitely a HS, well done!
@Gwynn try and keep busy, when I had to shield last year, I managed to last a month, it was driving me mad. You’ll manage a few days I’m sure.
@freesia great stats.
