Group 7-day waking average?

10.2 but that would be thanks to the eating midle of the night.

Yesterday evening I was seemed to plumbtering. I had biscuit (I eat the busult when I was 4.8 which was when I was just checking anyway) a I one one sweet I noticed I was really dropping after I ate the bisut so would need something faster so that's when I had the sweet thinking I that would do it it didn't the hypo still came) so needed to treet again So was not really surprising I shot up to 15.3 by bed. Gave myself 1 and half units woke up couple of hours letter so though I better check it was 5.2 so had biscuit. Woke up again at 2.45 so checked again and 4.7 that's when I ate a biscuit and a few Stickers(so over did a bit this time) I sis wake again at around 4 or 4.30 but didn't check this time perhaps I shoud have. Half done half a unit correction



Anyway got a gastonogist appointment unfortunately have to travel for it decided I'm going to treet myself to brackfast at the trian station. Thinking am almond croissant and a flat white.
 
Morning all, 5.8 here.
Had bloods done yesterday, hospital had sent a bag and labels through, and the letter referred to cholesterol, which I had discussed with the doctor at my review because Ive just started statins, but vaguely referred to 'other routine bloods' So I asked the nurse at the surgery, and she said, haven’t a clue, the labels are coded and the lab will know what they need, I just have to put them in the right colour bottles.
Oh, and one of them looks to be a urine test, could you pop to the loo if I give you a sample pot? (I hate it when that happens, I was a well brought up gal, and I’ve always 'been' just before I leave the house'. 'we only need a little bit…' the nurse added helpfully!)
Anyway, the upshot is, the results go to the hospital, they don’t appear on my online patient access, and they don’t send the results to the GP and the GP doesn’t ask for them. And the hospital won’t contact me unless anything's out of range, If I want the results, I can contact the hospital.
'But the Diabetes nurse here has put you down for an HbA1C in July, so I could do that, and we’ll get the result here…' So I said she may as well, even though I suspect that's one the hospital has asked for. But if I was flagged up for one in July, which I hadn’t been told about, why hadn’t the surgery called me in?
Sorry, rant over, anyone still awake at the end of that deserves a gold star!
 
Gold star for you @Robin for peeing on cue!
 
Morning all. 6.3 and an almost flatfish on the ‘ol Libre graph. Still hot, still sticky, still hardly slept! Had about five minutes of rain last night, no thunder even though it was promised. Back home today to a cooler bedroom! 🙂

Just caught up with yesterday’s posts as I had a busy day yesterday. Nice hotel cooked breakfast, walking clothes on ( summer version, no woolly hats, thermal gloves or waterproofs required). Started off nice and fresh…ish. Then got hotter and hotter. Ended up traversing a stream, fighting our way through woods, and climbing over “ seen much better days” stiles. A footpath not used much I suspect! Got back to the hotel 3.5 hours later very sweaty and exhausted. I found I had a PM from our very own @rebrascora asking if we could meet, we’re very close to her abode. Plans made, showers had and we met in the lovely medieval village of Blanchland. Cafe closed so of course we went to the pub! Diet Cokes for the diabetics, a half of pale ale for Mr Eggy, sat in the lovely garden and chatted for England. It felt like we’d known each other for ever. Then Barbara spotted the staff bringing scones over to the table next to us. Well, we had to didn’t we? Of course numpty chops ( me) didn’t have any insulin or Creon with her. Mostly because I’d had a horrible hypo not long before we left the hotel to meet up, as usual I felt sick and had a terrible headache after treating it and vowed to never eat ever again. As I do. But I had recovered sufficiently and the ever organised Barbara had a spare needle and so I duly stole some of her bolus! The scones were absolutely delicious. We parted company at 6 o’clock with promises to meet again soon. Had a great afternoon. As Barabara remarked later on when she texted me, forget Blood Brothers we are now Insulin Sisters! :rofl: Thanks Barbara for a lovely mini meet up.

Going for breakfast soon, not sure if we’re going straight home or stopping off somewhere, the forecast is 14/15 degrees with heavy rain, woo hoo! Might have a walk in it if it happens.🙂

Have a good day all.
@Lanny good to see you back. Hope things improve for you.
@ColinUK good luck for your appointment today and hope it helps somewhat.
@Pattidevans you’re correct the river South Tyne was very low, it’s very dry everywhere around here, ground solid and cracked like a dessert.
@Robin I can wee at the drop of a hat! :rofl:

Morning all. After a correction 2 hrs after tea and one overnight, i've woken to a 5.7. Planning to call into work this morning and sort out some of my things.

@eggyg it sounds like you had a lovely time. Have a safe journey home.
@ColinUK I hope your physio goes well. I have a physio app tomorrow but have been waiting for it since April. When i was referred i had a letter saying basically they were too busy and would write again when i could book. Eventually i had a letter saying i could call for an app and when i did they asked me if i needed a face to face!!!!! Errrr....yes! How do they know how to help you without looking? They'll be doing dental appointments over the phone soon...thats if you can find a dentist!
@Robin Well done for managing 'a little bit'!

Cooler here yesterday but still no rain. Have a good day all.
 
Good Morning all

4.9 for me today and back to the smiley faces.

I am getting my lashes done today at 7, as I dont drive and its a 40 min walk, there and then back I will get my exercises later which I am happy about. (mind you according to BBC weather my walk will be bang in the middle of a thunder storm and I am not allowed to get my lashes wet so this will be interesting)

Another pound lost too but I am so hungry, off to get breakfast

Have a great day everyone xx

Good morning everyone :D

12.9 today… think my evening meal dose may need increasing too - still not entirely sure what’s happening

Yesterday was slightly stressful - had my online bookkeeping exam but was having technical issues with my laptop - also had a job centre appointment and then had to do the exam later on my bfs spare laptop which ended up working perfectly - life is too stressful :rofl:

Wishing u all a great Tuesday 🙂
 
6.7 for me on this dull and much cooler day.
Had six squares of chocolate and a muffin last evening, expected the BG to be higher this morning.
Have a nice day everyone.
 
I didn't manage to get on here yesterday. I was too busy setting up my new laptop. You know how it is - getting it to do things the way you want it to do and not let it do the things that Microsoft want it to do. 😡

Anyway, nearly back to normal and with a nice round 6.

Text from the NHS that my appointment was cancelled. Please call to rebook.
Called. Offered a phone appointment or the next face to face somewhere else which is roughly a 90 minute journey and not until September 22nd. For physio.
Needless to say I took the appointment for 22/9

Blanchland looks mighty pretty! And oh to share scones (or scones if you pronounce it that way) with you and @rebrascora one lazy afternoon would be lovely!

They give it with one hand and take it away with the other. :(

Sorry to hear your appointment was cancelled @ColinUK
Have a good day everyone.
 
I’m laughing to myself here. Just re read my original post and I’ve put that the ground is hard like a dessert! Just to make it clear I don’t mean a flapjack but meant desert! That’s surely a diabetic faux pas if ever I saw one! :rofl:
