Group 7-day waking average?

What are your levels like before your evening meal? Have they gone back up again or stayed lower than pre lunch?
The last 2 days it's happened they have come back up, im just concerned that it's coming back up because I've been lower than what I'm catching it and scraping the knuckle if you know what I mean? Both days I started in the 6's and went down to the 4's x
 
I doubt I’d get there now Vince because of my condition (I’d never get travel insurance) but I’ve been to Hong Kong and Taiwan on business with my husband which isn’t like mainland China but you get the flavour. I hated the influx of westernised chains moving in when we were there and destroying traditional food but some street food is minging of course!

Have a good day! 🙂
Absolutely correct Amigo. HK is now more and more like Singapore but Taiwan is another place I really enjoy being in.
Minging is a wonderful descriptive word Amigo and so true.
Vientnamese food for lunch today
Pics tomorrow.
 
:D:D

I don’t know about insulin ratios Kaylz but you would definitely benefit from a higher food intake. Your need more fat to protect those bones around your chest! :D

I've always wanted to visit Lijiang in Yunnan Province - saw a documentary about it years ago and it looks astonishingly beautiful 🙂

I must admit N it is a place I have never been to. It is never to late N, always follow your dreams.
Many places here are nothing short of truly astonishing. I have many memories.
For Example, climbing up Mt Ermie in Sichuan,, dodging the ruddy monkeys on the way up and down but the view from the top was breath taking, like something from an old Chinese scroll painting. There is a huge golden Buddha at the top which tradition states you must walk around 3 times. I did, in the middle of winter.

Another possibility is that it is a timing issue i.e the insulin is peaking before the carbs.

Don't think it's that as it's been same food same timing as I've used before like a hundred times x
 
Good morning. Not read any posts yet, I hope everyone who is ill or injured is feeling better and those who have /had hospital appointments have good results.
5.2 on meter 5.6 says Libre, I’m really liking this sensor.

Got to wrap a preasant and write Christma cards today, sorry to say it’s not a job I enjoy.
 
Morning all (just)...

8.8 for me, but that is a single figure so I’ll take it! Temp basal working well, just need to drop a bit more to be comfortable.

Happy Tuesday all - Disney and blankets for the boy and me after school today I think!

Can I come to the after school gathering, sounds like just what I need at the moment.

I am trying I still lack confidence in upping the intake due to my insulin problems x

Just another thing to watch out for as it's not just our ratios that can change.

I woke with 4.2 this morning. I woke in the night with 5.1 and a vertical downward arrow on the Libre, so that morning result would have been very different but for the four Jelly snowmen in the middle of the night. (Maynards jelly snowmen appear slightly smaller than jelly babies. Christmas, eh?)

My timing for toast at breakfast changed a few months ago for no reason. I could previously inject 5 mins before and be fine, now it needs to be 10-15 mins before, so don't rule out the possibility🙂
 
6.0 yesterday morning. 12.3 this morning. Due to have my HBA1C done but as it's less than four months since Mum passed away I'm not going to beat myself up about the result, I know that I've done the best that I can.
