Group 7-day waking average?

09:53 BS 10.1. I was sore & achey all day yesterday so, up went all doses. But, I hypoed before I finished cooking dinner & had to sip apple juice & sit down for a bit before I finished cooking & finally ate! Before dinner BS was 9.3. On Wednesday night I had 10 units of Novorapid when my BS was 9.5 & my BS was still high after at 9.9. So, I took 12 units Novorapid. I test then, take my insulin & cook before eating. I’m done eating around the 40/45 minutes after insulin. Last night after I felt the hypo stirke? didn’t test so, not completely sure, I finished eating 55 minutes after the insulin shot! I had an AWFUL hangover headache after eating & my after dinner reading was BS 6.6. But, 4.5 hours after insulin BS was 10.4 at 23:44 with a slight headache still before going to bed!

Yay! I’ve looked out the window & the sun is shining bright with no cloud! Wow! Just when I changed my avatar picture & signature last night!:D

Slightly different this morning in that I had breakfast first as I slowed cooked lamb casserole for 12 hours overnight & woke to the lovely smell of rosemary & lamb that I couldn’t resist: supposed to be for lunch!😳 So, will post this & get to the exercises & rest before my morning bath: eases sore muscles after the physio!

Less stiff than yesterday &, currently, not sore, yet! Heigh ho, heigh ho! Off to work I go! Good morning all!🙂

Editited to add: Oops!😛 How did I miss that GLARING mistake? It was 08:53 I took my waking BS😱nly 09:45 now as I correct this after my exercises!

Good morning from a very sunny Paignton, 22.C 🙂. Not so good is BS @9.7 had a cuppa soup at 9pm last night but knew within the hour BS had risen. Neuropathic pain becomes greater and lasted all night, very sore legs & feet this morning so nothing for brekky and extra insulin. Anyway won`t stop me going out in the sun, have a good day all 🙂.
 
Happy weekend all. 5.6 for me after getting up late.

Learning: Seems I can eat a ton of quinoa without trashing BG. Fibre!

Blobbing today to work up modelling energy for getting project finished tomorrow.

Good morning everyone
 
Morning all. 4.6 for me.
Sensor unboxed and ready to apply after shower.
Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, an 8.9 for me today.
 
The Sun is making its appearance and their is no breeze which is a miracle living so close to the North Sea as I do.
Woke to 5.5
 
Morning all, a very nice HS 5.2 today, after a few days of 6s and 5s 🙂
 
Saving Grace 6.8. Always high in the morning then 5-7 rest of the day ugh. Anyhoot, suns out, weekend off, life's good.
 
Good Morning to all in the sanatorium🙂

DF paid a visit last night. There I was, after a delicious meal of fresh prawns and Queenie scallops in a lovely sauce with lots of paprika and flat leaf parsley, on tagliatelle, beautifully calculated and off to bed with a score of 7.2. Woke in the night dripping wet with sweat, checked my BG and it was 6.1. Fine and dandy.😎

Woke up at 9, ready for a day waiching cricket, to a BG of 9.2. The trace shows it popped up that just after I went to bed dried out. That’s cheating.😡 Wasn’t even dawn.

Anyway, back to normal. As well as the cricket today, it’s the first day of the Braemar Highland Games, the biggest by far in the Highland Games calendar. Somebody called Queen and the Duke of somewhere or other will be there watching unfeasibly big and hairy folk performing. That’s just the highland dancers🙄

I guess it’ll be on either BBC Scotland or BBC Alba. Alba will have a Gaelic commentary, but if you don’t know what’s going on, don’t worry. Nobody does.:D

11:04 BS 10.0. Had 18 units Novorapid 32 units Levemir & all other meds, did my exercises & had breakfast. Got up late today because my busy brain kept me up last night as I AM seriously considering neck surgery: more & more things slotting into place & making sense! I will get around to posting about that on another thread later, after my morning, lunch really now, bath so I don’t go off topic on this thread!🙄

It was nice, bright & sunny for most of yesterday until cloud set in later & stayed. Today is grey & much cooler! Am I only one considering filling up the oil tank & turning on the central heating? Oil central heating is very much prevalent here in Northern Ireland & I know that it’s mostly British Gas that‘s prevalent in GB? But, you get my drift? I’m dreading the rise in oil prices! Horror emoji!

Nonetheless, a Good morning to you all!🙂
 
5.2 - cool!

Levels seems to be notching down over the last little while, despite more carbs, 125g - 150g. Change of season, more fibre, random squidginess?
 
Morning all.🙂 12.5😱. Curry out last night - mmmmm - I usually manage to guesstimate how much insulin pretty well. Must’ve had too much rice. It was luuuush tho.🙄

Stuck in the mist here in grey Pembrokeshire. Off to Swansea later where it’s sunny, apparently - can’t wait to see my Mam after six weeks away!:D
 
08:36 BS 9.8. About to have 18 units Novorapid, do my exercises & will have breakfast!

It’s another grey day & even cooler last night! At the moment my relatively new dyson fan heater, I bought in the January sales at the begining of this year, is doing its thing & switching on & off through the night to keep me warm. But, that’s only my bedroom! Will have have to bite the bullet soon & get the central heating on! Sigh!:(

Good morning everyone!🙂
 
Morning all, 9.1 here, after a lie in. 😱 I miss my libre. I've no idea if I was high all night, bounced off the bottom somewhere in the middle, or had rampant dawn phenomenon when I slept in!
 
Good morning one and all🙂

Woke with 7.8 this morning. No big deal, probably an insulin miscalculation. Nobody’s perfect.🙄

Looking forward to the climax of a riveting test match. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but if you you don’t understand cricket, then you won’t understand. Anyway, I’ll be having a good time:D

Have a good day everyone, don’t let the D drag you down.🙂
 
Good morning, the sun is well and truly out here.
Woke up to 5.2 , Which I think is a miracle after treating a 2.6 around midnight.
Three small cans of Coke it took.
It was all my own fault too, as I miscalculated my bolus

Hope you all h@ve a good day
