Group 7-day waking average?

Thanks for that. He did seem a bit surprised to be woken at 11pm and forcefed 2 jellybabies and a creamcracker. Not great for the teeth but seemed unreasonable to direct him to the bathroom. I did check on him at 3am but didn't test as sleeping comfortably and not sweaty, which is the usual sign of a hypo for him. It is so difficult to judge at bedtime, don't know what direction it is going so will be investing in the Freestyle Libre when it is available again.

Are you sure it's not a rebound from a little night time hypo? Lantus naughtiness seems to be more common than I thought 🙄

Just one of those things, I reckon. 🙂

It feels good to be low after weeks of highs, doesn't it? 😛

Yes mate it sure does, I think it's 60 -40 .. 40% the new medication and 60 % my own fault, so keep the lock on the fridge at night time and see how it goes..🙂
 
Morning 5.6 today, and a sneaky day off work to go and buy me some clothes that fit, I think it's safe to say the size 8 is sticking since I can't budge my weight in either direction....course as soon as I buy clothes that don't make me look like Charlie Chaplin I'll probably pile the weight on 😱

Happy shopping! It took me about 2 years to regain the weight I lost around diagnosis. I was down to 8st, now 11st 😱 My waist shrank from 34" to 28", so I understand the feeling of having your clothes fall off you!

Well I'm going to try to enjoy it, I'm not great at clothes shopping, but gap have 40% off so I'm going in! I did put a stone back on because I was down to a size 4 just before the whole DKA business (although I didn't really notice that 😱) but I'm guessing that was muscle mostly. Just need to stay focused and not buy a bag and several pouches for my insulin, which is what happened last time :D

I'm also rocking the Charlie Chaplin look! Can't put weight on for love nor money - anyone got any ideas?

Happy shopping!🙂

Morning folks. 🙂 6.7 here (7.5 at 4.30, so things are calming down a bit). 😛

It's the weekend!!!!
 
A house special for flower, a switz swoo for Pete, we're doing well this morning! Can't promise I won't come back with a bag though, I can feel it coming 😱
 
Good morning everyone 6.4 today Excellent numbers here this morning
Happy shopping day Kooky I've got the Charlie C look too especially with my work trousers They look awful and keep slipping so have to keep pulling them up as I walk Not a good look! My new smaller pair feel tight and that's the last thing I want at night Should do half sizes!
Well done again Pete Agree it's a struggle but you're on a roll
Been reading your thread Mrs Mad and wishing you well with things Sending hugs 🙂
 
Morning 5.7 for me this morning although I've been up since 4am 🙄

Lindarose it turns out you have to break trousers in when they actually fit, I'd got so used to trousers dangling off me it was quite a shock to have a pair that actually touched my skin, do some squats in the new trews and you'll be golden 😉
