Group 7-day waking average?

5.9 @ 10.15am had a lie in due to being up all night watching telly. I've no idea why it was so low, I've been making some terrible food choices. Fed-up of feeling sick all the time and I think my blood pressure is high, feel very fuzzy, plus my feet/soles are hurting continuously. I pootled along for ages with no symptoms and everything has hit me at once. :(

A lovely day here today, hope it's nice where you are. 🙂
 
Home from my week in Norfolk where my eating went up pot. Most days woke up on a low 6, this morning was a 7.9 after fish and chips, ice-cream and slice of cake. Down to 5.1 this afternoon. Dreading how much weight I have put on. Oh well back to being good now.
 
Good morning 🙂 5.8 for me today, after an apparent dip into the red overnight which I don't believe 🙂 Aching all over after some unaccustomed gardening yesterday 😱 Still dark at the moment, so not sure what the weather's like yet! 😱 :D

Hello peeps!
11.7 for me, not good! 11.9 yesterday and a 10.4 the day before that :( I've had some stress this week and have also felt sick everyday, so may possibly be that that's raising my level in the morning. During the day, my level goes down nicely, I'm just having this raise in the morning??

Morning everyone, cool but nice this morning, off to car boot soon. Disappointing 8.3 this morning, definitely going up. Went out for meal last night was so good only had Caesar salad and Bacardi and Diet Coke yet bg was 9.3, I’m wondering if they didn’t give me Diet Coke as I couldn’t have had more than 100 carbs all day, very annoying but will keep an eye on them.
@Ditto i hope you are feeling better soon@Grannylorraine so glad you had lovely hols.
Enjoy your day folks xx
 
Morning all. A very disappointing 8.4. But I have been up and down all night so will assume DP. The three youngest grandchildren were delivered to ours at midnight last night as our daughter had excruciating toothache and 111 told her to go to A&E. Not to sort the tooth out though. When they asked her what painkillers she had taken and it turned out it was over the recommended amount, and she’s just a skinny thing, she needed to have blood tests as she had taken “ a toxic amount” ie 12 paracetamol instead of 8 in the last 24 hours. The dentist wouldn’t be able to help her unless this was done. Of course the tests were fine, after waiting 4 hours, but the dentist doesn’t do Saturday nights! So she has to go back first thing this morning so we’ve still got the kids as her hubby was at work at 6am! This is when I wish I had taught her the art of white lies! I’m now having a wee break until they wake up and demand a full English! :D
 
06:40 BS 6.4. 🙂 Snap! Time & reading! :D

The nights are starting to get a bit sticky again & last night only needed a sheet on the bed! 😱

A bit later than usual for me but, hey it’s Sunday! Have an easy, lazy Sunday & tomorrow’s a Bank Holiday! 😉
 
Morning all. 5.7 for me.
 
Morning all. 🙂 4.8 here... Aah., that's better. 😛

Proper gorillas in the mist weather here this morning - no trees, no sky, no hills, just mist, eek. 😱
 
Morning all, 8.2 for me today. Must get the grass cut today.
 
5.3 for me!
 
Good morning my lovely bunch 🙂


Got my new clock yesterday, projects 180 degrees, just ordered a DC Adapter yesterday for it as on batteries the back light and projection only stays on for 5 second, snazzy though don’t you think? Lol

It’s a 5.9 for me this morning, results of a mile on the cross trainer/exercise bike on Friday meant 1.5 units reduction in bolus yesterday and highest finger prick of the day at bedtime was 7.5, 4 finger pricks and 13 scans yesterday but both averages are 6.0 so spot on


Off to Lidl’s this afternoon, stock up salami, cheese, black pepper grinders and see what other bargains are about, pop into Scotmid on the way back home for corned beef and see if they have my almond milk on a deal

@SueEK did you have your testing kit with you? if in doubt test your drink 🙂

Hope you all have a great day! :D

Morning all, 6.0 here. Had a bit of a rollercoaster last night. I managed to cut my finger whilst skinning fish for supper. (note to self, learn difference between human flesh and smoked haddock. I've only been handling kitchen knives for 50 years odd).
Was surprised to find I was 13.7 at 9pm. I did a conservative correction which should have brought me down to round about 7.0, and by bedtime 2 hours later I’d come down to 9.7, so looking on track.
Woke at 2am with a 2.9 😱. I can only assume my liver dumped glucose into my bloodstream to help me deal with the cut finger crisis, and then clawed it back once I’d gone to sleep.
 
Morning Folks,
Had a real thirst on yesterday evening must have drunk over a gallon of water back and forward to the tap with my pint glass - diabetes related or dehydration due to heat playing golf or a combination of both so a reading of 9.7 this morning was expected.

did you test during that time? could be the heat but could also have been quite high as we drink more when we're high xx
