Group 7-day waking average?

Back to 4.5 this morning 🙂
 
Woke at 5am to a whacking high of 2.1! Been struggling all day and am currently scarfing a peanut butter sarnie as I've run out of bananas and don't feel well enough to go out. I called my neighbour and she's going to bring me some things when she gets off work. Right now, I'm at 3.3 and the highest I've been today so far is 4.1.

Sorry to hear this Ally :( Shouldn't you be having some faster sugar than a PB sarnie? I used to have that to prevent overnight hypos because it was slow-release for me!

It's all I have left at the moment. That's why I called my neighbour, she should be here by three.
 
Goodies safely delivered. I now have jelly babies (just ate six) and bananas if I need them and my neighbour is heating me some leek and potato soup.

Good to hear 🙂 I still smile when I think of jelly babies as 'medicine' :D
 
Haven't got a DSN or any emergency numbers to ring. Beginning to see how rubbish my care has actually been !
It was similar yesterday repeated novorapid corrections took it down to 15.8 so will up them and try again today

Don't let it get that far this time Annie. At least call NHS Direct/24 for some advice. For your own sake, don't put up with it, you need proper help if you're ever going to get things under control. Please, please make the call now.
 
16.3, shocking, thought I had got insulin right with meal out last night, bedtime was 8.3, slow releasing carbs are evil 😱
 
Hi TinTin
I know exactly how you feel. We went out for a lovely meal last night which I thought that I had carb counted very well..........mmmmh 14.3 at 4am which I corrected and then 12.7 when I woke up at 7am🙄
