Group 7-day waking average?

I've now got to attend a 'pre pump' course then another pump course, which I think will happen when I'm on my nights when working, can I have that night off without owing it back to my employer?

This so such good news, so happy you are getting a pump, I do hope your employer gives you the night off for all these courses.

Good morning, 6.2, I hope @Vince_UK there is room on the 6.2 step for me.

I hope everyone keeps cool as another scorcher today. It will be 28 here and will go back later to the river, can't wait!

I wish it was just a one off :( been going up during the night a lot recently but I wouldn't class it as enough to shove in an extra unit of Tresiba, you know what I mean, feel like c**p with how I'm doing at the moment and feel like I'm letting myself down as my daily averages have been in the 7's :( xx

I am sure you have thought of this but I would do a basal test at this point, then you would know whether to increase your Tresiba. Also if you are beating yourself up then that could affect your numbers. How about trying to give yourself a break today, you are still the wonderful you - whatever the number you have! Sending loads of support. 🙂

There's those tartan wee beasties flying past your window again. :D
 
Morning all.🙂 10.9 here. Ouch!😱

Sorry to hear you’re struggling at the mo, @Kaylz. When I get days like that, I try to do something that reminds me I’m not just a (%*@#!!ing) diabetic - usually this’ll be a walk or a coffee at my fav coffee shop. Hope you’re feeling better asap.🙂

Go @Lucy Honeychurch! Let us know how you get on.😛
 
Good morning 5.4 today and a visit to the vampires at 9.20
 
13.8 for me this morning 😱 I fell asleep last night after a 5am start without taking my insulin and this is obviously the repercussions. I normally take my lantus before bedtime - as I have missed it do I leave it for the day or take some this morning? :confused:

I would take it this morning but ether reduce the dose or the dose of tonight’s so the over lap doesn’t cause a hypo. But there are others that may have better advice.

I remember a post by @everydayupsanddowns , about a missed basal dose. He suggested having half your usual basal dose, to cover the half day you have to come: can’t do anything about the half day that’s already gone without the basal dose!

That's an option, but as you say, you have to be careful tonight if you've got an overlap. Another way ( and what I usually do, we all forget from time to time!) is to firefight during the day with extra Bolus insulin, but I can't remember, Emma, whether you have a short acting as well.
 
Morning all, the return of the dawn phenomenon here, 8.0 last night, 6.4 at 3am when I happened to wake up, 8.0 this morning. I'd love to know where it's been for the past couple of weeks, then I could send it packing there again!
 
Thanks everyone, I do have bolus insulin as well so could use that and just keep a close eye over the day. I normally take 50 units of bolus in the evening so I'm missing quite a dose, might just take 20 this morning and see how I go

Like @Robin, I would firefight with bolus corrections through the day. Hope it's not too troublesome!
