Group 7-day waking average?

[Flo15]

9.2 at 6.30am. Needed to take dog out so didn't eat or put any insulin in until I got back so 45 minutes after the 9.2 I was 12.5, wish I knew how to cope with the dog walking stuff and insulin.

Oh dear, 07:13 BS 9.7 brealfast at 07:15. All the shenigans with the fake hypo yesterday, 2nd. day in a row, but, lower lunchtime dose of insulin from today! So, hopefully settle down soon! I maybe kept on my toes in the short term but, less insulin in the long term is better! 🙂

Oh dear, I’ll have to call & appoligise to my sister today. She called me to come round for a visit before the incident. But, by the time she arrived, in the full throes of it! Just managed to finally get the DSN on the phone & she, & my brother in law, had to make their own cups of tea! They didn’t stay long as I wasn’t up to a visit. Hypos, real or fake, really tire me out. 😳

Good morning my lovelies!
Good job I've already had breakfast after the images that have come to mind with @Brando77 comment 😱 lol
Beautiful start here to the day again, lets see if it stays that way today though 🙄
5.6 for me
Hope you all have a fantastic day and remember to stay hydrated with this warmer weather kicking in! xx

Taking some bottled water with me today K...almost melted in the car yesterday...have a good weekend...I'm likely to be working.

Morning all, 6.9 here, but I swiped the Libre at 3am and was 5.5.

I drink about 3 and a half pints a day (well if its me pouring them, my mum has a habit of not filling the glass properly if she gets me one ) was ridiculous here last night, sweating like goodness knows what, I hate warm weather! haha xx

Lucky you live in Scotland, then.

Morning all. An unexpected 12 before bed then a flat line over night waking to a 4.3 then 3.8 and a dextrose tablet post cat. I hope it's just the change in the weather.

Have a good day everyone.

I experienced a huge change in insulin requirements yesterday - same breakfast insulin as I have been having for the past couple of months, later needed 8 jelly babies to keep levels up 😱 Reduced lunchtime bolus but still went low 😱 Reduced evening meal bolus and ate a ridiculous amount of chocolate (I should NOT have bought that large bar of Fruit and Nut! 😱 ), bedtime reading 6.0 - I was expecting double that! 😱

Hope things settle down for you @khskel, these unpredictable occasions are a pain! 🙂

It's a tricky business I found out that, really, I need to have some food and insulin 'on board' before doing any exercise, so usually takes about an hour after getting up and injecting before going for a run.

Two things might be happening: you may be more insulin-resistant in the mornings, so your insulin may have been insufficient to keep levels steady without your breakfast injection. Secondly, your liver probably continued to release extra glucose and raised levels (Dawn Phenomenon) because you hadn't eaten and your body was still reacting in 'starvation mode'.

Make a record of your readings and gradually you will see a pattern and be able to deal with things better (well, most of the time! 🙄)

It was sweltering here last night! Looks like its going to be the same today, yet my mother (who is much beefier than me no offence) will no doubt put the heating on for an hour after dinner 😱 xx

Well, we do appear to have plenty to spare here in Southampton! I'll send some over 😉

 

[everydayupsanddowns]

8.8 for me today. Ate a little late last night and had a precautionary biscuit as I was going to bed with around 1.5 units of insulin still active. Turns out I didn't need it! 🙄

[Amigo]

A late 7.3 entry but at least it will drop after breakfast. It’s odd like that! 🙄

Looks like a hot one here 😛

Hope those BG levels go down for you Shiv & the temperature goes up...you never know that may bring/tempt the sun out🙂

Oh yes. Every time!

One of the nice things about wearing an occasional sensor with my pump is that I have much more protection overnight. I could have just left it in this instance I think.

 

[mikeyB]

I’ve been adjusting my long acting insulin doses, so with a tweak to my night dose of Levemir, I went to bed with a score of 6.5, an almost dead straight trace on the Libre, and woke with a score of 5.6.

Well, that’s quite enough of that sort of thing, I’m supposed to be aiming to get a pump. ...🙂

Have a good day folks

 

[Ditto]

7.4 @ 6.34 am. Could be worse! Still got virus, still got bloating, still got an extra 10stone, if I wasn't such a heffalump my bg would be lower!

 

[Vince_UK]

Good Morning All.
Hope everyone has pleasant dreams.
Another wonderful day here.
Codefree say 5.5
At 5.22 am
Taken when up.
Wish everyone a Great day

03:16 BS 6.3.After more shenanigans yesterday with another fake hypo my insulin doses are to be lowered further from today! Levemir down from 31 to 29. Breakfast Novorapid down from 8 to 6. Lunch Novorapid down from 4 to 3 & dinner Novorapid the same 4 units. Iron levels being replenished with iron tablets & my steady weight loss, inches now too, lessening my requirements! 🙂

Diabetes REALLY making me hop on my toes these last few days but, I keep telling myself less insulin in the long term is GOOD! 🙂
