Group 7-day waking average?

[goodybags]

Good morning 7.1 today

cold & wet here this morning, we’ve nothing exciting planned, so a weekend to slightly de-stress
although the wife wants me to take here to Milton Keynes, which is not far away from us.

next year I’m so hoping my ankle gets sorted.. it’s nearly a year now since the constant told me quite bluntly “ankle surgery wasn’t recommended“ risk of infection - etc leading to possible amputation etc 😱 all due to years of poor control of my diabetes, even though I don’t think at the time he realised my Hba1c was already on it’s way to a decent control

anyway since I’ve lost weight, in my head Im thinking I want to get fit and run
meantime in the real world some days If I don’t wear a ankle support and walking with a stick im taking painkiller.

keep warm and have a great weekend everybody 🙂

Forgot to post this earlier! 😳

01:57 BS 9.6! 😱 By heck! That’s high & I’d seriously under bolused my last meal before going to bed shortly after taking my last reading yesterday 12:36 BS 7.0 when I ate dinner after increased Tresiba dose of 80 at 11:38 BS 7.6. I knew I’d need to go down a bit for NR because of the higher Tresiba but, went down too much! The storm had already reached me by 10am & it was flooded by about 2 inches around the bottom steps drainpipe at my front door so, I ate & went straight to bed while I heard the storm raging while I slept!😱 That’s me covering my ears!😱

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

The storm had more or less gone by the time I got up VERY early this morning but, it’ll take some days for all the water to drain: it REALLY was a lot of water as it’s the first time I’ve seen my front doorsteps flooded! That’s the disadvantages of living in Bog Town, AKA Ballymoney, in the middle of a big bog! I’m on the drier side of the main road too: the opposite side’s houses are built on concrete piles/stilts; it’ll be a quagmire on THAT side!😱😱😱

Eaten twice already & watched last night’s It Takes Two & now Motsi is down with Covid so, not judging later tonight! 😱 Finished Open House by about 10:30 yesterday & not reading anything yet although I may? Watched some more early episodes of Grand designs & saw the first build they covered in 2001 where a woman, & her poor husband & children, was determined to build a gigantic new Georgian Style Manor House only to say, with it not finished yet, that it wasn’t worth it! 😱

I’ve kept getting my bolus wrong, so far today, & having to correct! I keep thinking the increased Tresiba will have more of an effect but, it’s too early & I’m thinking it’s going be more like tomorrow before the effects kick in? 🙄

11.7.Oops I have no idea what went wrong there! Only 15mph winds here.

 

[Lanny]

Only 15mph winds here.

We, in the west in Northern Ireland & Ireland of course, already took the brunt of it before you lot in the east, GB got it: the bottom of my front doorsteps were already up to 2 inches yesterday morning; now the water is about level with the top of my bottom step! 😱

6.4 at 0700 hours. So either still playing silly b*ggers, dawn effect, or reflecting injudicious consumption of alcohol 2 days ago. However only 6.9 2 hours after breakfast so its just back to weighing, counting, calculating whilst dreaming of forbidden goodies. Too windy to go out (81mph at Aberaeron 11 miles away) with local route to Co-op blocked by fallen tree so no need to grit teeth passing the bread...No damage to house, buildings or trees at home and power is on. Hope everybody as lucky and OK despite storm.

That’s awful.As this is only November what’s December going to be like?

Morning everyone. Late on parade today. At 2.30am 13.5 with upward trend (finger showed 11.7), 7.20 libre alarm woke me with a 4.4 had a JB and went back to sleep, woke again at 9.10 with a 5.9. Take your pick on my waking numbers.

Feel a bit chesty and wheezy this morning and coughing but LFT negative so thats good. Probably a change in temperature and the work bugs going around. I hope i'm not coming down with something, we're going away next weekend.

Cold and windy here, had some snow and sleet. Forecast to feel like -6 later. I plan to do the cleaning today, then make some soup for next week and a cake for hubby. Stay warm and safe everyone.

And very grateful we are to you guys over there, Lanny, although I am not sure @Kaylz would agree as it sounds like it hit her area pretty hard.
I'm pretty sure I woke sometime during the night to a tree branch cracking and breaking but I haven't located it yet.

@Lily123 Welcome to the thread. Pleased you found us. You obviously got the surplus glucose that I was missing last night. We could both have woken up with perfect readings if we had just combined our resources! 😉

A perfect number is always hard to achieve and sometimes there are going to be no explainations to BG readings unfortunately

Just so you know in advance.... the nominated "perfect number" here on this thread for a waking reading is 5.2. This is referred to as an "House Special" or HS and is a highly prized achievement..... but yes, in general, seeking perfection is a dangerous game with diabetes .... doesn't stop you wishing/dreaming though!!

Morning All
Sorry forgot to hit the ‘post reply button when I typed after reading.
This morning was a straight 8.
Keep safe all, even with storms.

Sorry Duncan, but @eggyg got first dabs on one with her wish list yesterday.
Would be nice if Santa had a whole bag full of them to deliver to all of us. I promise I have been a good girl.... well mostly! 🙄

Good to know about the walking reading and about the perfect number thats true

This morning I am Confused.com. At 9.25 I woke up to 6.3 on the Libre with a perfect straight line overnight. Well pleased with this after adjusting overnight basals by around 0.03u per hour... total daily basal up to 11.12 from 10.71. However, at 11.28 the Libre is alarming at me with a 3.9. Didn't feel hypo, so tested bloods which were 6.9 on my meter... washed hands and tried again... still 6.9. Scanned again - still 3.9. So was the FBG wrong??? Who knows!

Had a "funny turn" coming out of the pub where we met friends last night, having consumed just 2 small glasses of white wine, when my knees gave way - luckily just sat down heavily on a nearby bench. Hubby and 2 friends supported me back home (around 50 yards). Tested BP and was 87/54 with a pulse rate of 114. BP is in the 145/90 range in the mornings, but have noticed this nasty drop in the evenings. Must speak to the GP... maybe Amlodipine is not working well for me.

Take care all who are being affected by this horrid storm. Here in Cornwall we usually take the brunt, but although we have high winds and it's sleeting, on the whole it's not too bad.

@rebrascorer, thanks for clarifying the HS number. I didn't know that.

 

[ColinUK]

Park Run done.
New trail shoes.
Same one as last week so Hampstead and mud and hills.
Stopped to take a photo and either I was so far ahead of everyone else at this point or….



Forgot to start my Fitbit so didn’t map the run however the official timing logged me as 20 seconds faster than last week!

The Libre will often be off by a quite a few and it is extremely annoying at times.
Hope you are okay because of what happened must have been scary

Yes, it's odd though, I find Libre can often be very accurate indeed for me... though this particular one seems to be reading more out as it ages... due to change it on Monday, so hope the next one will be better. I'm not going to be relying on it for dosing though.

Yhank you! Feel fine this morning, but BP back at 145/91.
