Group 7-day waking average?

Michael12420 said:
Good morning - another hot one. I took your information on board and last night slightly reduced basal and bolus although ate roughly the same amount of food/carbs. This morning my BS was 10! Totally unacceptable. I know that type 1 diabetes is not a one-size-fits-all situation but honestly I would rather be low than high. Being low-ish without a hypo is more reassuring to me than being high and providing a perfect glucose breeding ground for infections, particularly with my history of UTI's.

What was your level before bed Michael? I'd give it a couple more days to let things settle rather than yo-yoing with your basal dose. Also, I'm going to have to nag you and say that, yes, waking lower but not hypo is fine, but do bear in mind that your levels can fall lower whilst you sleep and recover a little before/as you wake - indeed, that 10 might only have been in a short while before you got up and tested and would have little impact on your overall health. Get some more information before you revert to your previous basal dose please 🙂
 
08:56 BS 6.2. 🙂

First off, hi to the newly retired @Northerner , love the new moniker under your name! 😉

It’s a very wet & windy morning & I have to get the gas supply sorted out for the takeaway. We used to use huge bottles of Calor gas: 8 bottles; 4 in use & the others to switch over straight away when it’s empty! Just a matter of switching the valves over! Now we’re thinking of using piped in Natural gas with no need for all that palaver: the empty tanks had to be taken away & replaced with new ones about once a week. Once when the tanks were being delivered the guys doing it lost grip of one & it fell off the van & crashed through our huge single panes, double glazing, of our front window! 😱 Now with it pupped in directly from Natural gas suppliers, my job today to find & choose one, there’ll be no more gas tank bottles!

First breakfast & then I’ll get the gas supply sorted! A Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day at the start of a new week! 😉

Just a tip @Hazel - have you taken that '5.2' sticker off the front of your meter yet? 😱 😉 Congratulations! :D[/QUOTE

Aye, very good Alan
Was truly surprised after the mountain of food I consumed at the Chinese buffet, yesterday, I will need to watch levels today

Alan, my level before eating was 13,4. I injected 6 units of Novorapid and then 16 units of Toujeo, normally I would have had 8 Novorapid and 18 Toujeo.

Joining Robin on the 6.8 step this morning, no idea why it is that high. I know I ate 2 slices of bread at 11am yesterday in the form of a bacon sandwich, but that was because I felt faint and went dizzy after running, I had to stop at 10K and walk the last bit back to our finishing point. The plan was to run 12, so it was not too far. Got back saw the ladies, went to sit down next to them and they were just a blurry picture, they sat me on the ground so I didn't have any where to fall, a few minutes later I felt much better, went to the cafe for our post run coffee and we decided to have breakfast there, as I was still feeling shaky I decided just for once I would eat a bacon sandwich. It was lovely but post reading was 6.6, was 4.7 on waking, pre-running. Was running in the 6s and 1 7 all day. But think because I ate breakfast out, that I forgot tmy breakfast meds.

@Hazel, has your award for having HS most days arrived yet? Congratulations. I would offer to bake you a cake to celebrate, but that might just ruin your good control.

wow a 12k run,that would kill me,you have stamina
 
Good morning gang🙂

I woke with 6.2, which is nice. Had a stonking hypo yesterday evening after eating, mind. Classic mistake - prebolussed for something I didn’t eat, and once insulin is in you can’t get it out, so had Jelly Babies instead. Straight line overnight, mind😎

Anyway, England beat India yesterday- just scored too many runs, India fell well short. Wimbledon starts today. Just one more tennis competition on the circuit, but the BBC reckons it’s worth disrupting both its terrestrial channels all day and evening. Plus highlight shows. As though it were some great national event. It isn’t. It’s a fortnight’s garden party for posh folk and corporations. They don’t have to queue all day like the peasants, thrown scraps like a ticket to outside courts in the hope of seeing someone they’ve heard of. :confused:

Right, I’m fully caffeined up, so shave and a shower, then ring Abbott, then ring TGA for a service on the Mobility chariot, then it’ll be almost time for the afternoon nap.😎

It’s important keeping up a routine when you’re retired.:D

Have a good day everyone.🙂

I expect Dame Olivia de Havilland will. It’s her birthday today - 103. The only actor in Gone With The Wind (1939) who is still living. Her family made aeroplanes.🙂
 
Disappointing 9.2 for me this morning despite having a dinner with no real carbs .... bacon with cabbage, mushrooms, cauli and broccoli and a little Greek yoghurt, so no bolus and I was 6.7 at bedtime.

@Hazel ..... are you really sure you are diabetic?? .... or even human for that matter? That is certainly a super human string of results! I want to know where that magical Chinese is, so we can all go and indulge.

Oh yes, definitely diabetic. Human might be questionable, lol.

I told Mum and she made me google her sister Joan, but she only made it to 96! :O It's all in the genes. 🙂 Mum's 86, if I get to that I'll be laughing.

8.2 @ 5.20 after licking the baking bowls yesterday. :( I'm going to have to ask my daughter to not leave me with them!

Good morning 🙂 6.<cough> for me today (@KookyCat may be watching 😱)

Ugh! What a stuffy night it was 😱

I’m always watching....😱 that may have sounded more menacing than planned.....or maybe it was just menacing enough 😉
 
Oh well another late day onboard,🙄 7.3 after a few carbs I shouldn`t have had very late last night.😳 BS have been up and down all day, quite normal in the heat a bit like a prostitutes knickers.😱😳:D Welcome aboard @Northerner and Hazel give us a break, can you by me a lottery ticket?:D

@mikeyB a win for England although marginal, lets see how goes it with New Zealand!🙂

@Benny G last time I had figures like that I fell out of bed, although I was in the wardrobe at the time.:confused:

Take care folks, trawling the forum for a while, I`ll be back.🙂
 
Same as the day before!
It's still 5.4

LOL Thought you might have a lie-in @Northerner now that you don't have to get up for work.

Received this intriguing and interesting e-mail this morning

I'm tempted - 150M USD is not to be sniffed at! It would certainly buy a healthy supply of test strips! - what do you think?? 😛 😉

Sounds legitimate to me! 😱 :D
 
Morning folks, 7.2 this morning after a dicey night rocking a 13 at bedtime. Double figures after food is my current weirdness of choice. Might be time to bump up the ratios again 🙄
 
Morning all
8.6 for me after 3.4 before bed. Maybe tiredness, emotional (made a huge decision) or not eating lots earlier
Slept better and up bright and breezy
Have a good day all
 
Reading before dinner was 9.6. Had 5 units of Novorapid. Ate Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and carrots. 18 units of Toujeo. 2 am this morning woke feeling woozy and very sweaty so had 2 digestive biscuits followed half an hour later by 2 jelly babies. Woke at 6 am to a reading of 2.5.
Toast and marmalade and 2 biscuits. Still feeling a little shaky so a slow start to the day.
