Group 7-day waking average?

Yes though it hasn't always been lately! Never mind I can get back where I was and fully intend to!

hi from me, Lindarose.
I was the wrong side of 7 this morning! I went to bed on 8.9 last night, so hardly surprising, but that was a result of an overtreated hypo, and as I'd had 3 mystery hypos over the previous 24hrs, I decided to err on the side of caution. No idea why, just one of those days when I seemed to have super strength insulin in my pen ( and I did consider the possibility that I'd done my Lantus twice, but I'm sure I didn't!) Just one of those days!
 
I'm in the dunce's corner this morning with a 7.2 but I did have a stressful day yesterday and a few little moment's of weakness. Normally it drops after breakfast.

Hope all are well this morning 🙂
 
Hi Robin 🙂 It all sounds so complex trying to calculate what your body is going to do next all the time A real trial But it looks like you're doing the right things and coping well Hope you can keep the levels down 🙂
 
Morning all, I've been mostly in the 5s so haven't posted much on this thread lately but this morning it was 4.2 - yesterday a small group of us from our church went on a lovely day trip to Lille, France. I tried to be good and not over-indulge, and the last test before bed was 8.8, so not bad really :D

it's swings and roundabouts, Lindarose. At least I've got the option, if things have gone pear shaped, of dialling up a correction dose and getting back on track quickly. More of a headache for Type twos trying to get and keep levels where you want them to be, I think. I do feel for you.
 
Morning 5.6 today 🙂
 
Morning all.🙂 13.3 here - I seem to remember a couple of days of high BGs last month at the same point in my 'cycle'. Look at me spotting trends!! 😛

Now I just have to explain to the puppy that walkies will be a bit later today (I haven't worked out my exercise dose when I'm high yet). There'll be lots of whining, methinks...🙄
 
Good morning all and 6.9 again today
Hi Bolden hope you can soon get the numbers down or puppy will be crossing his legs! 🙂

Tee hee.😛 It's her bouncing off the walls with puppy-energy that I'm worried about...and what she'll destroy later when I'm at work.😱
 
Good morning 🙂 it's a round 5.0 for me today after needing 2 medicinal Jaffa Cakes at 2 am, then teeth brushing. It's disruptive this blood sugar stuff but the Jaffa Cakes were lovely 🙂
 
Ah bless your puppy Bloden. Good luck explaining 🙂. Good morning everyone 4.4 for me🙂

Big congratulations on restricting yourself to two! 😱 If I have to treat in the night I don't bother brushing again as I heard once that brushing shortly after eating/drinking something sugary can do more damage to the tooth enamel - not sure if it's true though, just a vague memory from years back! 🙄
 
It was a 'fun sized' pack Northerner so I wasn't tempted to plod to the kitchen for more.

I've only just started brushing my teeth after hypo treatments because I need my first ever filling after nearly 50 years and I am so cross that I need one. I will ask my dentist is if is more damaging to brush straight after eating sugary stuff. I do love toothpaste though, it's one of my favourite things.

Wow, 50 years and one filling! I have fillings that are nearly that old! 😱 It will be interesting to hear what your dentist says. My dentist says I do a very good job of keeping my teeth clean - most of the 'damage' occurred in childhood, including a fear of dentists until about 15 years ago when I acquired a terrific dentist. I use a toothbrush that cost me 7p from ASDA and Co-op toothpaste at 80p a tube! 🙂
 
A better 6.2 for me this morning.

I do feel for you Type 1's...do you all have to check during the night every night or just when you feel the symptoms of an hypo? As inviting as nocturnal Jaffa cakes sound, it must be disruptive to your sleep? 😡

I don't check in the night, unless I have a particular concern that I might drop low e.g. if I've had a long run the day before which can sensitise you more to the insulin. In the early days I tested a lot since I seemed to be continually needing to adjust my basal insulin dose, but since that got reduced to zero three years ago I no longer have that worry. I remember thinking at the time feeling like a weight had been lifted off me, that I didn't even know was there, so I do appreciate how it feels for those not as fortunate to be blessed with my weird version of diabetes 🙂
