Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 6.5 today.

@KARNAK does your hospital do text reminders for appointments - if you use a mobile? I've found that system more reliable to know what appointments have been changed. Best of luck for next time.

Good morning Flower, yes they usually text a reminder or if things have changed but sadly no contact whatsoever. They said a letter was sent out but did not arrive at my place. Thanks for your reply.
 
Good morning to you all, many thanks for all your replies, BS stayed above 11 yesterday peaking at 14.8 at midnight. Ate nothing all day only water and a piece of cheese in the evening. Adjusted my insulin up 4 units and a very pleasant 4.7 this morning 🙂. Enjoy your day everyone.

You win!!

Kidding - welcome & be assured you'll get plenty of good advice around here for bringing that down. I was 15+ not very long ago.
 
Thank you Eddy Edson.....I need all the advice I can get!!! Metformin x 500mg x 4 a day (5 has been suggested but it so messes with my tummy and general feeling of yuck). Have just tried a day without it (I know I shouldn't but desperate to feel well). Low and behold feel so much better but blood sugars gone up (obviously I'm thinking). Pain in feet and legs gone in only a day!!!! I need to sort me thinks.
 
Heinz Varieties 5.7. Weather may be c**p but a Monday off! Every cloud has a silv....ton of rain in it. Relax kids
 
Morning all, 9.1 here 😱. Had a snack before bed because I was only 4.5 and I'd done an 11 mile walk. Obv didn't need a whole flapjack!
 
Good morning. I hope you all have a great Bank Holiday,
What a day we had of it here in E Kent, It was that chilly the heating came on, from around 11am it drizzled non stop , the wind got up knocking several plants in our wild patch over , today it’s chilly , the sun is peeping out of hole in the cloud and that breeze is making a return visit.

On a better note I woke to 6.6 meter 7.2 Libre, so it looks like this sensor is shaping up nicely.

Have a good day everyone.

I’ve done that many a time, fortunately I don’t have that problem any more 🙂
 
Good morning. 8,6 for me
HbA1c 74, down room 89 in may, so disappointing but right direction
Have a good bank holiday all
 
Morning everyone.🙂

Proper Bank Holiday weather here, grey and showery. We retired folk take this in our stride, of course. Every day is a holiday.

Being a holiday, I woke up with 9.1, a result of a very low BG in the very early morning being over corrected. That low BG was caused by a miscalculated bolus for an indulgent holiday meal. ( queenie scallops in a creamy sauce containing fish stock, loads of fresh flat leaved parsley, paprika, and black pepper, served on pappardelle). 🙂

Not a low carb meal, but once in a while who cares, diabetes isn’t a jail sentence, and who can resist scallops?:D
 
Good morning a couple of jb and digestive biscuit for my 3.2 😳. Second reading 5.3, looks like most of Britain is covered in cloud but get out there and enjoy it. Temp. 21 C.
 
I thought it was wall to wall sunshine all summer long on the English Rivera, Ted. Oh well, another shattered illusion:D
 
It’s sunny here today but not cosy warm
 
Good morning . Hope you all have a good day.
Woke up for a wee earlier , peeped through the curtains to see what it was like outside wish I hadn’t ‘twas a orrible sight, closed the curtain and jumped straight back into my nice comfy and still warm bed, I’m still there and I’m not budging till thirst or hunger drives me out.
I’m not being totally lazy though, I have scanned , 5.7 my fingers are having a lie in too. Going to snuggle right down now head under the duvet and really chill. See you all later.
