Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning peeps 🙂

Went to bed on 7.1, relying on Levemir to drift that slowly down to a neat HS. Woke up on 8.2, though to be fair there’s an element of DP in that. Nice straight line, just at the wrong level. Curses:D

Quite a pleasant morning, but those nasty folk at the Met Office are threatening downpours later. Don’t know how much they get paid, but they need to get their act straightened out.🙄

Last early evening there was a chorus of sirens drifting over from the A59, and no traffic. Must have been an almighty accident, the road was still closed 5 hours later. Hope no one was deaded. Mind you, there are a lot of livestock lorries swanning around, maybe they were chasing sheep.

Anyway, I’m not going anywhere today, fully stocked up with food if the river floods down in the village. Mind you, the new houses they’ve built on the field that used to take the overflow from the river might be a bit disappointed as their Range Rovers float away...:D

Have a good day folks, hope you aren’t affected by all these travel disruptions.🙂

So how can i help this to lower my levels?

It's a gradual process - as you lower your overall levels then this will also improve 🙂 If you're not already doing it then it's worth making sure you take your waking reading before your feet have even hit the floor, as it's quite common for levels to rise 1-2 mmol/l just from the act of getting up. The point to bear in mind is that the waking level may not reflect how your levels have behaved overnight, when levels most likely dropped lower (around 2-3 am is commonly the lowest point during the night).

Good afternoon all. 10.4 for me this morning!

I have no idea why as I went to bed last night with 9.4?? I'm not feeling that good today, so not sure if I'm generally not well or if I'm feeling the high level, but I feel very tired and not with it. :confused:

61!! Happy Birthday Kate! Great singer/song writer and takes me back to some real good times too. 🙂
 
06:06 BS 5.7. Happy with that! 🙂 Despite getting a wee bit stiff & achey in the left shoulder now: put physio on hold last few days as didn’t want to tear delicate, injured, healing skin; last shoulder injury, right, physiotherapist overstretched me a bit during weekly session & tore my skin! 😱 But, I think the skin has started healing now & a bit less delicate so, maybe resume physio gently! 🙄

It was much cooler last night & there was a bit of rain after the muggy nights & a nice relief! 😛

An early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Morning Folks,
I have seen a steady reduction in my readings this week and happy to report a lowest morning reading yet of 7.6 for this morning - might even get below 7 before the end of the week.
 
Morning all, 6.6 for me today, the evenness of it all made me inexplicably happy, ah my beautiful, weird, squishy little brain. Who knew you could be pleased so easily 😉
 
6.2 for me! I think summers over for this year - 3rd wet and grey day in a row. :(
 
Morning my lovelies 🙂

6.3 for me this morning, think I'll have to call Abbott in a while as sensor seems to have gone haywire, was fine being 1.odd mmol out but yesterday started reading 3+mmol lower than a finger prick and it hasn't got any better, wouldn't bother me if it was within the 15-20% range but its not :(

Thunderstorms are forecast here today and I'm hoping this time they do actually happen as my head has been pounding since the heat of yesterday

Hope you all have a lovely day! :D
xx
