Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A libre 4.1 this morning. Went to bed on 4.4 (libre) dead straight all night and no dips into red which is set at 4.2. Is that flat or what!
Still reading an average of 1.5mmol below finger prick.
 
Good morning! It's a nice round 6.0 for me today. Only 1 strip left, more on order. Just replaced my Accu-Chek lancet drum. Still got 2 left in the box. I bought this box when first diagnosed 2 years ago! Good value for money.🙂
 
Good morning I think I've now got my basal right, fingers crossed 🙂 7.7 before late dinner and woke with an 8.3 🙂 I'm going to run them at this slightly higher level for a few days as I start the amitriptilene in case I don't wake up in the night if I'm hypo.
 
Morning all. 4.6 for me today.

Retinopathy testing day today - fingers crossed no changes, this will be my last one during pregnancy as long as nothing has got worse.

Fingers crossed for good results today.
 
Something i have not seen for such a long time a nice 4.3 instead of the usual 7's and 8's.
 
Good Morning Everyone

Wish a successful day to all.

Codefree say 6.3
Accu-Chek say 5.7
At 4..23am
Codefree consistently gives higher readings than the Accu-Check taken at the same time off the same blood drop within seconds

Morning all, a 9.9 for me today. Off to London soon for a girly day with my best mate including seeing Lion King the musical. Can't wait.
 
Oh do return with lots of stories!
I saw Lion King at Edinburgh Playhouse awhile back. It's great fun.
I saw it years ago when it first came to London, can't wait to see it again.
 
Good morning all. Good news is 6.3 this morning. Bad news is, I'm in hospital. Evidently I broke my leg on Tuesday. I twisted my foot on Tuesday night. But didn't manage to get to the Dr until Wednesday. I guess I was hoping to get away with it. Well, I didn't get away with it. But it's a new hospital. And other than a cast up to mid thigh, it's going well. All things considered.
Silly Siadbh.
Bad Siadbh.

It's a 4.3 for me again today with another dead flatfish overnight.

Realised yesterday that I had inadvertently lowered my breakfast ratio from 1:5g to 1:10g (same as lunch and dinner) and had been doing it now for 6 weeks 🙄😱. Been fine though so I'll keep at it:D
 
GOOD MORNING! 🙂 (sorry for the shouting but I'm losing my voice so its the only place I can be heard lol)
