Group 7-day waking average?

Just to clarify that a little. Your team may start you on an even split twice a day ie half every 12 hours, but many people need more basal at different times of day and less at others. My Levemir split is nowhere near half and half. Today it was 24 units this morning at 6.30am but only 3 units tonight and that was a little later than usual at just after midnight because I have been out to the theatre. Usually it is about 11pm but if my evening levels start rising as sometimes happens I might take it at 6 or 7pm rather than later. The doses and timing of them can be adjusted to suit the individual and it is one of the things that makes Levemir so flexible as a basal insulin.... Love my Levemir for it's flexibility.!

Thanks for the info on your Levemir - I was surprised at such an uneven split, but I can see how it works and can see how you can get such great flexibility. I tend to have higher BG in the evenings but often low overnight, so adjusting for a larger morning dose and smaller nighttime one may help there. Definitely something I need to talk about with my DSN at my next appointment!
 
Congratulations @Robin on your HS !
 
Morning folks. 5.9 today.

Last day of the holidays, morning flight tomorrow. Holidays are great, aren’t they? But I always enjoy coming home. Your own bed and bathroom and I can’t wait to get my slippers on. Mr Eggy is looking forward to a nice cup of first flush Darjeeling. When we holiday in the UK, I pack his loose tea and teapot and tea cosy! Oh and of course we’ve missed the kids too! 😉

We had a lovely bit of cloud yesterday but today is sun, sun, sun. 26 degrees! 😎 We’ve done the present buying so a lazy day around the pool, and our last supper out tonight. We’ve started the packing, just need the last minute things in.

Have a great day, I may or may not see you tomorrow. Early taxi pickup.

@gll hope you feel better soon ( my cold/covid has fizzled out before it started) and the docs pull their finger out!
@harbottle congratulations on your HS, again!
@Bloden well done, don’t go too wild in the wild!
Ooh, @Robin just popped in with a HS, many congrats, especially after your brush with covid. Impressive.
BTW I did get another unicorn yesterday, third one this holiday. Might as well blow that particular trumpet!

Last photo. I’ll miss views like this.

Good morning a much more respectable 5.4 today 🙂

I did wake in the night (at about 4:15 then my BS was 4.6)
felt a bit like I my levels were going low, straight back to sleep after a quick bathroom visit, (3rd after going to bed last night) I’ve been waking in the night more than I used to as because for the last few weeks I’ve been taking Empagliflozin (SGL2)
Anyway straight back to sleep, then woke up this morning at 6 to a respectable 5.4

wont bore everybody with the full detailss,
house moove still hasn’t happened, as everybody is currently still waiting on probate - following the original grant of probate being applied for then granted but to someone who themselves passed away following making the appliication
do now after 6 months and 2 weeks my Mortgage expired

when I re-apply the % rates are obviously going to be considerably higher after the recent events (I must remember to take both the Prime Miniser and the chancellor off my Christmas Card list)

currently wondering when if ever that proper will be in a position to complete, but keeping my eyes open maybe another property might tick even more boxes than the last did for both Mrs Goodybags & myself.

Great to see on TV just now, that I I’m not the only one not to have turned on the heating on just yet.
that the Billionaire John Caudwell saying how he will only be heating one or maybe two rooms in his mansion (when he eventually turns on the heating)

Have a fantastic day everyone 😎
 
10.7 but ended up moving about quite lot before testing so probably that. And I did have snack in the night(,only 7 grams worth though)
 
Congrats to @Robin & @harbottle on those HSs. I just missed it by a hair's breadth at 5.3. 🙂
Off later this afternoon to get double jabbed (at last!)

Dez
 
Good morning after a difficult day yesterday - the cold seems to be have put back an appearance so the COPD is much exacerbated - coughing like a maddened Rottweiler and choking on the result. Managed to get the gutter up on the new woodshed extension but had to give up after that as every muscle in legs aching. Walk reduced to an embarrassing shuffle. Wondered if it is lactic acid build up due to low oxygen but the idea didn't occur to me until I was in bed so didn't dig out the oxymeter. Going to take it quietly today and restrict myself to stacking Taras overnight logs and re-hanging rear doors on barn - they have sunk and are catching as the useless idiot who hung them didn't put the coach bolts on the hinge straps. My fault in not remedying the lapse at the time.
BG 6.3 this morning.
Wishing everyone a good day.
 
7.1 this morning. Still running a bit high as a result of the lingering cold I think.
Let’s see if I can’t tighten carbs up a bit and get waking levels down into the mid to low 6’s shall we…

And a lucky starting word with wordle this morning narrowed down choices for the second attempt and really only the one option for the third.

How fun was GBBO last night?! I’m looking forward to seeing Extra Slice this week as the eliminated one is likely to be excellent entertainment!

Took me all six chances today and I got the last four letters on line three! Ooh I was annoyed. 😡

Don’t talk about GBBO! I’ve missed it nearly as much as the grandkids! Lots of catching up to do when I get home.
 
5.8 at 8am this morning where has that come from???
Highest reading I had all day yesterday was 5.4, 2 hours post lunch! Though yesterday was spent cleaning windows and hanging winter, (thermal) curtains, washing, drying and putting summer ones away till weather gets warmer, such an exciting day not!!
Congratulations @harbottle and at @Robin on the HS.
Hope everyone has a good day
 
Morning all 6 9 this morning Had a good night's sleep . Easy day today got to go into town for a few bits and pieces .. So me and dog won't get our afternoon walk in . Rest day be out all day tomorrow . Get a few miles in . Stay safe everyone
 
And it was a 5.0 for me at 8.15 this very grey day, with rain expected soon.
 
Morning All.

Had a fab time at the theatre last night. Didn't have time to eat before I set off and had GGs to feed when I got back and the best part of an hour travelling each way to the theatre, so didn't eat until midnight. Despite that I managed a pretty decent flatfish overnight although the 4.8 this morning was aided by a fizzy worm an hour or 2 earlier, when I just dipped ever so slightly into the red according to Libre 🙄 but this sensor reads about 1mmol low so almost certainly not hypo. Anyway, 24u Levemir yesterday morning and just 3 last night looks to have been a good call. Quite proud of my flatfish, so I am sharing...

Kicking myself with Wordle as I got nothing with my first attempt, 2 green and a gold with my second and I was really drawn towards the right answer for my third attempt but then opted for something more obvious as I felt that word was too obscure. Got it in 4.

Many congrats to @Robin and @harbottle on your nominated optimum reading achievements this morning.

@eggyg Wishing you a lovely final day and a safe journey home tomorrow. For some reason I really want someone to go down that cliff and write something profound in big letters in the sand.

It won’t be me! Or anyone else for that matter unless they are a rock climber. It looked treacherous.
😱
 
as I'm moaning about the GPs and not getting in touch, a letter dated 6th of this month showed up today asking me to make an appointment.
Not sure if it was a resend but a 2nd class stamp and phonecall was at about 5pm last night. Not likely that it was posted out (esp since I booked something on the phone).
wups :D

A bit like when I fractured my wrist, I was discharged from A&E saying there was no fracture but received a letter 2 weeks later asking me to return to A&E as they had reviewed the X-ray and discovered 'an abnormality' of course mind goes into overdrive imagining all sorts of things.
It turned out there was a fracture and the radiologist said it had been obvious on the original X-ray. It goes without saying the bones had moved because I was told to use it 'normally'. The relief when I got the plaster on was huge as I hadn't been able to sleep as it hurt whatever position I tried to lie in.
 
@Robin Congrats on the HS.
@rebrascora glad you enjoyed the theatre. Its one show i would like to see but haven't yet. Was it good?

It was great! Totally corny storyline and it started off a bit mediocre (and I was a little unsure if I was going to like it from the first act) but with hindsight, I am pretty sure this was an intentional part of the storyline. Kevin Clifton can sing as well as dance and act and carried the show and the lead female and the rest of the cast were equally talented. Really good, funny, uplifting show. Just what the doctor ordered!
