Group 7-day waking average?

It's predicted to chuck it down (technical jargon) tomorrow 😱
In the north and east, apparently, then perhaps when you've finished watering your gardens with it, you'll send us a few spare drops if we're lucky!
 
Good morning 🙂 7.0 after a 2 am 2.5 despite my pump suspending insulin for 2 hours in the early hours. I don't understand the hypos at 2am when I had no insulin being delivered :confused:, I don't want to start eating before bed as no doubt that would mess up some other results.

I had new bright daylight energy saving spotlights put in my bathroom yesterday. Crikey they are bright! I'd adapted to managing in the gloom- It was a shock to see my face in the mirror this morning -time for a dimmer switch I think! 😱

You may have to suffer your brightly lit morning face. A lot of energy saving lighting is non - dimmable :(
Trust me, I'm a sparky. 🙂
 
Morning all. Another cloudless day as the clock ticks toward United Utilities emptying Windermere into their appallingly leaking pipes.

I’ve had a rotten night, probably due to excess walking and and an unlucky bolus.

I defrosted chilli con carne for dinner last evening, with a pitta bread, and bolused before eating. Went badly hypo half an hour after eating, corrected that, took my evening Lantus and went to bed early. During the night, my sluggish system dumped the aforementioned meal in to my digestive tubes, so I woke with 16.2 on the Libre.

Oh well, what the hell. Most times it works, sometime it doesn’t. My body is wildly inconsistent. I’m 7.8 at the moment, so thank goodness for insulin, and thank goodness I’m not T2. And thank goodness I’m not normal, because it makes life more of an adventure🙂
 
That's a great number @Carolg! 🙂
Yes it is. I looked over my food diary and could see where I am doing not so good. This week has been tough as snacks in house for my house guest(grandson) and too easy to have a nibble

They are good numbers

I know what you mean
I’m trying to lose some weight and Dad needs to put some on so I’ve got him lots of nice goodies to snack on, their they are sitting in the cupboard and fridge calling out to me.
It just ain’t fair is it
 
Ouch. 9.1 this morning following slice of toast and jam last night. Thought I had a good tea last night but salad had beetroot, small baby potato and added 2 oatcakes. Damage done. Won’t mention the last Jaffa cake in packed. Oops(at least it was only 1)
Have a good day all and thank goodness it’s friday

It is a total scunner. My grandson is young, skinny and a walking carb pit. Maybe I shouldn’t have bought him the snacks but you know what it’s like
 
Good morning 🙂 6.2 for me today after a bit of a lie-in. Although I am sleeping, I think this breathing problem is reducing the quality of my sleep and I've been feeling very weary lately - hopefully will get it sorted with some proper treatment on Monday 🙂

It sure is. I succumbed yesterday 😳
 
Good morning . Hope you all have a good day.
They say we’ve a chance of a thunderstorm here, tbh I think they are saying that just to cheer me up, I love thunderstorms and can’t cope with this heat. What is that wet stuff called you know, that stuff that comes down from the sky :D.

Went to bed on 6.7 woke to 6.5/ 6.0 Libre 🙂
However the Libre line and my body tells a different story, Reduced basal again took 4 units this morning. I bet I’ll just get this sussed and the weather will change 🙄:D
 
Morning! 6.3 here.

What I've learned: If I have a small glass of milk late in the evening I'll have FBG > 6 on waking.
My resolve: Screw you, big D. If my bod says it needs a small glass of milk, I'm doing it.
 
Afternoon all, still hot hot hot in north London. But the heat's still strangely good for my numbers as this morning I had a lovely HS 5.2 🙂

Hope these low readings continue when the weather finally turns normal again...!
