Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks 🙂, its a nippy one here this morning!
5.0 for me this morning after a bedtime vanilla thin 🙂
Hope you all have a lovely day and stay warm my lovelies! :D xx
 
8.5 after a midnight hypo which I treated and also cut the 1.5 units of extended bolus that was still left. Still feeling lightheaded and weak but hoping that I will manage to do more today than I did yesterday 🙂
 
Morning all. A 9.4 for me today. Hope you all have a good weekend.
 
Morning! It's a 6.5 from me after a night out at Prezzo's yesterday. I was good though. No pizza or pasta, but did go for the Tiramisu.:D
 
A bit late for me another early morning hypo with a 3.3 after sorting that out woke to a 5.2, hardly eaten again to day really hate this cold bug, so far managed to stay above hypo by nibbling fruit, maybe not the best solution though at least it's one thing I have managed to eat. As the time is late I doubt I will have my evening dose of gliclazide as taking them will more than likely send me hypo. :(
 
Good Morning All

Wonderful day ahead for everyone.

Codefree say 5.5
Accu-Chek say 5.1
Average 5.3
At 3.34am
Cat woke me up

Enjoy your day folks

Sorry your'e still feeling rough pav but glad your'e keeping on top of your hypo's. My mum would say about a cold: 3 days to come ~ 3 days to stay ~ and 3 days to go. Congrats on your House Special and get well soon.

They're good safe bgs Vince ~ I know they're a tad higher than you used to have but you'd get a very good HbA1c result if you maintain these numbers for 3months. Most probably non diabetic again.

Thanks @wirralass
That is my strategy actually just hope I can maintain it. I don't think they are to bad considering I am off the meds now. I do keep forgettig that small fact lol
When I see slightly elevated levels I have to remind myself "VInce no on Metformin now". Old age.🙄
I want off the Diabetic Register, something I didnt know I was on until 3 months after my diagnosis, but I was told that takes 5 years diabetic or not.
Next review in June when I get back so lets see. I fully expect my HbA1c to rise a little but stay under the 47 or whatever it is threshold.
 
Good morning friends ~ hope I haven't woken you up too early! No waking bg again for me until test strips arrive next week so I'm managing on guess work until then🙄 Wishing you a Sunday filled with joy and happiness and may it be free of stress & pain🙂 Have a lovely day ~ stay well and warm x

Considering you're not taking Metfartin you're managing your diabetes very well. I'm managing my diabetes without meds with diet & exercise only and have been for about 18 months ~ last HbA1c was 32 ~ its jolly hard work but I suspect my next one will be higher as I've had a right royal time with my health for three months and have had two courses of antibiotics all of which has affected my bgs. If you slip up now & then it's of no consequence as you can rectify over the following day or two by watching the carbs you consume and up your exercise regime. Dont beat yourself up about it. We all have days where we fall off the wagon Vince (we're not saints!) but we get right back on it again. You'll be alright if you carry on doing what you are doing.

You are and always were a star WL at encouragment 🙂 and commonsense. 32 is first class and something to emulate.
 
Morning folks 🙂
