Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Woke earlier to a 2.9 despite a few JBs. Now 6.4 going up fast. I have a hypo headache and don't want to get out of bed. At least its Friday.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.3

We were so tired yesterday evening that neither of us washed up after I had prepared the meal and we had eaten. And I had made quite a mess preparing the meal (I'm good at that). I have just spent 30 minutes washing the huge number of dishes and stuff. It's the baked on stuff that proves to be hardest to remove! But it didn't reckon on my determination and refusal to give in!!! Battle won!!! Later, after breakfast I'll put it all away. That will give my wife a good start to the day. Nothing worse than getting up, feeling tired, and having to clear up a horrible mess!! And... the meal was just what we needed ... the final remains of the stew and freshly cooked mashed potato.

Today I build a cradle or something for my keyboad and its new trolley. As I don't have a car and the keyboard to too long for most taxiis (and it's getting harder to find someone to give me a lift) I decided to get a tolley thing and see if I can wheel it to the church myself. Not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try. I don't need it until next week tho. It's the big hill between my house and the church that worries me a bit...

No idea why but I seem to be full of energy this morning. Excellent, I might be able to get out for a proper walk. Yesterday it was not possible because of the constant rain and my appointment at the hospital.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Good morning. A very low, for me, 4.6 at 6.30am when I first woke. This sensor is running about 1.5 under the meter. When I eventually got up, no sleep in between though I’ve tried my hardest, I didn’t check BGs until I’d been to the loo. 6.9 arrow up! Mega FOTF! When I got downstairs the FOTF was losing. After a few minutes I was under 6! But up to then, I’ve had the flattest flatfish ever. Not sure I’m even alive! 😛

TGIF for you wage slaves. Have a great day, it’s very wet here, again!

Morning all. 🙂 6.1 here.

We’re dog-sitting atm - a lovely, quirky springer spaniel called Milly. She’s always been very obedient but is now as deaf as a post so I don’t dare let her off the lead cos I’m afraid she won’t hear me shouting her name, eek! She loves our garden tho - it isn’t manicured like her owners’ garden, so she can run n roll n chew wherever she likes. And it’s full of cat poo...perfect!

Rain, rain, go away! o_O
 
A 6.1 for me today. 🙂

Back in the 5s this morning with a 5.8 and weekly BP check is 116/65, so more than happy with those.

My wife was up again during the night as our youngest is still not right so she's decided to go back to bed and take the day off. Balloons and banners are up in the lounge for his birthday today and I expect he'll put in an appearance when he feels up to it. Not sure what's wrong - he seems fine all day and is eating normally but goes downhill overnight. Checked his waking BG yesterday, just out of interest, and it was 4.8, so that's perfectly normal. Hopefully he'll be OK for his shift at Sainsbury's this evening.

Friday, and I'm back to doing the usual Big Shop after not needing to while the family were Down Under, so a trip to Sainsbury's and the greengrocer out at the garden centre later.

Whatever your plans enjoy your Friday.
 
5.3 this morning for me, unfortunately followed by a hypo as I delayed breakfast too long after taking my bolus. Back up again now and thankfully no hypo headache!

Final bit of stuff to do today before we set off tomorrow on our adventures, heading to London ready for our first flight on Sunday.

Have a great Friday everyone!

You had a massage last night, that can release any tiny pockets of insulin trapped under the skin. Happened to me once when I saw a physio who massaged my buttock. I hD one hypo after another all evening.

How about a sack truck for your keyboard if it copes with being vertical, easy to push and go up and down steps, curbs etc.

Sadly mash, and a cheesy mash is so tasty, is the worst form of potato for diabetics causing a rapid BG spike! :(

And he careful on the hill. We don't want to see pictures of you skateboarding on a keyboard! :rofl:

YMMV though. I can eat potato in any form... bread is another story.
 
Morning All - 7.6 for me this morning. I didn't have a proper evening meal last night as on my own and just didn't feel like it so had a snack bowl 🙄 instead. Saw the DSN at the hospital on Wednesday and she was very pleased with my TIR. She's upped me one unit so I have 14 units of Lantus at 10pm now but otherwise it's just the metformin, diet & exercise so my remaining third of a pancreas is definitely doing something right. When I see the consultant in September I want to have a good chat about whether I'm putting extra demands on my remaining pancreas though and whether that means it's likely it will wear out as at the moment I have no digestion problems at all and I want to save myself that. Anyway - have a good day everyone - I'm off to my first dental check in over a year and I fear they might have something to say (new dentist since moving to the area) - I know I've got a bit of broken tooth but I just want it filing down as it doesn't show. Have a great day xxx
 
Morning all - grey but perhaps less grey than yesterday.

5.9 this morning after a night skimming along just over 4 and two alarms.

Meeting friends this afternoon in town. Looking forward to that.

Have a good day all.
