Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning. Late sleep for me and a 7.5. Cold day here so am going to coorie in
 
You’re doing right Carol, in Fife cold is colder then the rest of the country. Nothing for it but to coorie in. Did it a lot at Uni, but didn’t then know the word for it🙂

When I was interviewed for this job, I was asked what I really enjoyed doing and said a duvet day. This took a bit of explaining
 
Afternoon peoples. I'm doing great! 7.6 this morning after a heap of sweet carrots for tea last night and 7.1 the morning before. I was down to the 8s but this is better. I'm trying to get onto proper Atkins Induction and will do eventually, but there were tons of carrots in the fridge and today, to celebrate an £8 win on the scratchcards, I've treated myself to honey roast nuts, 2 bags for lunch. Yum. Better measure after having them come to think of it. I've only been measuring in the morning as the strips cost money!
 
04:35 BS 9.3.:( That’ll be the chicken soup & ham sandwich that I ate just before midnight & completely forgot to bolus for, just the Levemir at midnight: NUMPTY!😱😳

Spent most of yesterday sleeping, on & off for about 4 hours, awake to eat & back to bed. I’m catching up on my missed sleep now as I was a little afraid of sleeping because I couldn’t monitor or massage my face while sleeping & afraid to wake up worse! I’m still not completely over this as the numbness on the left side keeps coming & going & there’s still some inflamation. That can last for weeks & that’s what the long courses, over weeks, of steroids are for: no longer possible for me as they gave me hallucinations the last time & had to come off them early!😱:(

The doctor also couldn’t give me anti-inflammatory pills, as I told her anti-inflammatory gels, when I injured my shoulders, set off my asthma: pills are a much stronger effect!😱 So, this is completely down to me & the only reason the urgent care doctor gave me Co-Codamol painkillers to cover 2 days over the weekend! I only took half of them, so I could sleep, & will return the rest to the chemist.

There was a poster in the General forum posting about the dangers of Tramadol causing her father, Type 1 diabetic, to crash his BS to very dangerously low levels. I posted, on that thread, about my GP practices’, & across the NHS in Northern Ireland, policy of not prescribing Tramadol & Co-Codamol to elderly people & limited, monitored, surplies to others! They’re both opiate based painkillers & in 2015 there were more deaths in NI related to these 2 painkillers than deaths related to Heroin and cocaine combined. Please read it if you haven’t already!

Already had breakfast & my Novorapid doses are staying at 16 units as I’m waking from sleep each time I eat! I have a lot of sleep to catch up on & maintain to help me deal with the remaining inflammation! But, the worst is over, I hope & touch wood not wanting to jinx things!

Sorry to be so serious this morning but, SOME things warrant it!

A VERY good morning everyone!🙂 Keep giving those snotty cold & flu viruses “what for” & “kick their asses!”😉 Have a WONDERFUL day & may there be bright sunshine on the inside!:D😎

Good morning friends. Tested 3 times this morning coz I couldn't believe what the meter chucked out!! 9.7 😱 10.1😱 9.8😱 I cant give a valid reason for my bgl being this high (for me) but I'm wondering if it's as a result of me returning to using both my asthma inhalers?

I hope y'all achieve the numbers you yearn for this morning folks and if not then there's always tomorrow🙂 Take care and have an enjoyable weekend doing what you enjoy most of all whatever that may be!!!

Yeah, that’ll be the inhalers but, the BS will settle down as you continue to use them: adjusting!🙄
 
Good morning folks.
Woke to 5.4 earlier this morning. Something started trying to break out yesterday but my body seems to be going a grand job of fight it off, just very tired, a snotty nose and feeling cold. I slept for England yesterday 😱 .

I hope you all have a good day and those of you who are not well start to feel better soon , Take care .
 
Morning all.🙂 3.7 here...another a.m. hypo, another unit shaved off the basal tonight.🙄

It’s cleaning, cleaning, cleaning for me today - can’t wait to finish (and I haven’t even started yet!). 😛
 
Good morning 9.3 for me after a rough evening. Scabby hypo of 2.6 just after eating my tea of baked potato and homemade chilli. Afterwards urgent visit to loo with unpleasant upset stomach. Shivery and knackered and found later I had overtreated hypo.
Slept all night and feeling good.

Have a good day all
 
After my meter scared me earlier I've just tested again...........

........and with numbers like 6.8 and 6.9 I'm a very happy bunny again, yeah! But...and there's a but....I haven't used my morning asthma inhalers yet! *Phew!

Thanks @wirralass 🙂 I've been quite shocked by how completely drained I have been feeling - hopefully the thyroxine treatment will help restore a bit of zing! 🙂

*@Northerner you should notice a huge difference within say 2wks ~ 4wks. You won't feel as lethargic ~ you'll sleep better ~ and you might lose a tad weight too if you have gained some. That's what Levothyroxine does for you! Still, take it easy and don't overdo things just yet will you, sounds like you've had a rough time Northie. You'll be pinging and zinging all over the forum before you know it haha!! Take care.
