Group 7-day waking average?

Either 9.3, 8.7 or a 7.5 for me today! Hmmmm

Thought there was something dodgy about the first reading of 9.3, tested on another metre got 7.5, and then retested on the other and got 8.7

So ill go 8.5.... (Average)

Dontcha hate it when that happens? 🙄
 
Good morning 7.7 for me:D
 
Thanks Alan🙂 I can't afford the sensors anymore which isn't. a problem. I programme my remote control to wake me up at 3am - last night it was 8.7 which was still great for me but the remote suggested a bolus of .8 which brought it down to 7.7 - it was 6.3 before bed.
The pump has something which is absolutely fantastic for me at night with the gastroparesis. It's called a multiwave bolus. For example if my evening meal is 70g then I have 2 units just before the meal and the other 5 units of bolus spread out over seven hours. So for me it more closely matches how I digest my evening meal. I can change the upfront amount and the duration to whatever I want but the two units followed by the rest spread over 7 hours works great for me. There will be blips but overall the pump is working brilliantly in comparison to what I was dealing with🙂

This is so good to hear, it seems you and the pump really do belong together! I wonder if other people with gastroparesis are aware of how beneficial pumps can be? 🙂

Grrr yes! I swear my 4th fingers sweeter than the others, maybe thats it. Its certainly the one the dog prefers licking!
 
I'm not sure if other people are aware. As far as I know in my PCT only one other person with gastroparesis has a pump:(
 
7.8 this morning
 
7.0 for me this morning.
 
13.4 this morning. I'm doomed i tell ya! Back to the DSN on Monday!
 
6.7 this morning for me - an unusual in range reading!
 
Good morning 3.5 for me I'd forgotten what it was like to have a hypo when waking - I love my pump for reducing the high BGs
