Group 7-day waking average results 28/8-3/9

[Northerner]

OK, the latest 7-day waking averages are as follows:

For all types:

7-day average = 6.341322314 mmol/l
Minimum = 2 mmol/l
Maximum = 16.4 mmol/l

For Type 1s (including 1.5s) (82 results):

7-day average = 6.4 mmol/l
Minimum = 2 mmol/l
Maximum = 16.4 mmol/l

For Type 2s (39 results):

7-day average = 6.217948718 mmol/l
Minimum = 3.8 mmol/l
Maximum = 9.1 mmol/l

Once again, tighter control from the Type 2s, but the overall average this week was better than last weeks 🙂 (7.39 last week, 6.34 this week!)

All very interesting 🙂

These are great results.

Do you think recording the numbers on here is making everyone try and get best numbers possible ?

Think this experiment is brilliant !

Thanks Alan all very interesting reading.

It seems to be giving people the opportunity to compare and discuss notes and possibilities, which is definitely a good thing, I think! 🙂

I think the competitive streak is showing too. Once it's written down, there's an incentive to improve tomorrow's. It doesn't just get consigned to the meter memory.🙂

Well done everyone. Maybe the forum has actually helped everyone to improve their long term health in a very short time.

I think its brill its spurring people on , and results are very encouraging

Both fasting results are really good.

These are great results.

Not sure if this is making people try harder, you wake up with what you wake up with and I haven't done anything different to improve things and don't see this as a competition, it's merely just an exercise to see what the average is for both types over a 7 day period.

I think you may be the exception rather than the rule Toby. There are plenty of things that can be done to mitigate against a higher waking reading. Whether they have the desired effect, is down to many variables, but there are adjustments and methods for both T1s and T2s.🙂

Have to agree with Rob there Toby, I've noticed many people on the thread discussing the possible reasons for out of range numbers and possible ways to overcome them. I added an extra unit of lantus last night because my levels have been consistently 2 mmol higher on waking over the past week (mind you, it doesn't seem to have made one jot of a difference this morning! 🙄)

I also think it's interesting for people to see what others are waking up to. You can tend to get a bit insular in your feelings of what are good and bad numbers, so it can be useful to either find yours may be better than most/ similar to other peoples/something perhaps you need to work on. 🙂

Of course there are many ways of reducing a fasting blood glucose level as we are all to well aware of, what I was saying that I don't see this as a competition to get and record the lowest levels in order to prove a point, common sense will tell you if your mornings levels are high or low then you need to look at adjusting your treatment or your previous days activities to correct it.

The thread is useful in the respect that it gives a weeks average of both type one and two's waking levels and I for one enjoy reading it and taking part, could be a good idea also to start a new topic where everyone post there bedtime readings and compare the two. Toby

Absolutely not a competition Toby 🙂 What I would say in that respect is that perhaps declaring your waking levels gives a little extra impetus for them to be as good (not as low) as you can get them. I am very impressed by people's honesty and that everyone is participating whether good levels or otherwise 🙂
