Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone.🙂

Lovely morning first thing, but getting a bit cloudy. Had a decent straight line overnight, around 6.0, and woke with 6.1. DP got involved after I straightened my legs out and tottered out of bed, but that has been squished.

It’s all a game, this diabetes lark. Me against the forces of nature, and the DF. It’s a score draw at the moment. :D
 
Just back from my Physio appointment! Didn’t lay hands on me after all & not going to because of my neck abnormality! No more new exercises either; just extra repititions as my neck strengthens & assessments. A relief as things will only get easier & less painful!🙂

My physiotherapist told me she couldn’t tell me about my xray results until my GP talked to me first & she knew she couldn’t lay hands on me from the first appointment as I hurt more; the more she touched me! Just static exercises are enough to strengthen my neck!

That’ll help a lot with the BS control as I know there won’t be any additional pain from extra exercises, moves or stretches! Things can only get better!:D
 
Howdy all, 5.5 this morning.

Then I went mental and had Chicken Pho for lunch. Probably undone 3 months of BG-wrassling.

I blame the cat. I think it gave me diabetes.
 
Morning all.🙂 8.5 here (overtreated hypo to blame, oops).

O...M...G...I had my first UK endo appointment yesterday and I’m still gobsmacked.😱😱😱 What a lovely, kind, helpful, friendly bunch of people. I saw a nurse, the specialist, a DSN and a podiatrist, all in the space of an hour, and had a grown-up conversation with all of them. And all my questions were answered! 😱 No shouting, blaming, threats...it makes me realise how nasty my previous endo was. 😡:confused:

Oh, and since Swansea’s a teaching hozzie, I’ve put my name forward to get involved in some research.

So happy I could cry!😛
 
Morning all, 7.3 here, I overtreated a hypo (again). One day I'll get the hang of this diabetes malarkey.
Glad you had a good experience at your new hospital, @Bloden, it's such a breath of fresh air.
 
Morning all and 6.2/6.3 for me. This sensor is proving to be a good 'un despite its wobbly start.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, a 9.5 for me today and it's all go in our house today. We're ripping out our old kitchen ready for our new one to be fitted in a few weeks time but we have a plumber in this morning as the OH broke a water pipe while taking tiles off the wall!
 
Good morning all🙂

Well, what a weird night. I was well pleased with yesterday evening. Never went above 8 from about 4.00 in the afternoon, and went to bed on 7.8. Dead straight line till 3.00 am, then up went the line. Dead straight line till I woke at 9.00am (had a phone call, the subject of a new thread) with a BG of 10.1.

I hadn’t forgotten my evening Levemir, so where did that go? Does the DF have muddy shoes, Northie?:confused:
 
11:05 BS 9.3. Ok, ish! A late start as I couldn’t sleep until past 6 this morning! Diabetic review at the hospital today! I hope I get a nice experience like you did @Bloden!🙂

It’s a little brighter than yesterday with sunshine through hazy cloud!🙂

Will have 18 units Novorapid 32 units of Levemir & all other meds & breakfast before heading off for the hospital! Will have a lunch when I get back do my exercises & a hot bath afterwards.

Have a great day all!🙂

Edited to correct typos. Oh dear, a hazy, foggy start by me too!😱:D​
 
5.4 this a.m. despite poisoning myself yesterday with chicken Pho with frozen highly-processed rice noodles & limp frozen bean sprouts & toxic mega-salt stock.

I remember a time around here when cheap Vietnamese joints used fresh noodles & sprouts & decent stock.

Also when you shouted at the kids to get off yr front lawn they didn't post pictures of you shouting at them in yr underwear on Instagram. :mumble mumble:

What great news! 🙂 I've been pretty impressed with my first Northern experience, even though the Southern one wasn't too shoddy 🙂
 
00:49 BS 8.2. Ate dinner & couldn’t go back to sleep! Was knackered after getting back from the hospital review yesterday & slept after a VERY late lunch, 17:15, exercises & bath when I got back! Exhausted emoji!

Everything went well & everbody was pleased with my progress despite the injury!🙂 But, a change in the routine. The doctor told me to split the Levemir dose to 24 units at lunchtime & 6 units at bedtime, around midnight, to bring down the morning figures & cut the chances of hypos later in the day. So, will start that today!

Yes, it’s cold & dark but, I’m warm & sunny on the inside!:D

A GOOD, good morning to you all!:D
 
Heinz Varieties 5.7....working away seems to give me lower bgs first thing...think my bed at home is made from carbs n sugar dun dun duuuuuuun.
 
Moooorning!🙂 4.7 here.😛

Ooo, yes, there’s deffo a nip in the air. Long sleeves required for this morning’s walk methinks.🙄

Glad to hear you had a good appointment, @Lanny.😛
 
Morning all, 8.5 here.:( Which is exactly what I'd expect having gone to bed on 9.1. Except that the previous two nights going to bed in the 7s, I crashed suddenly low at 2am. Could you kick the DF round the garden a few times, whoever sees her next?
