Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone, sorry for my absence over the last few days, a few issues at home and not been testing much let alone being able to get online.
Yesterday was a 8.3 for me but think numbers were slightly high as worried about my first eye check. OMG I know people have advised they sting but my word, it wasn't a very pleasant experience glad to say normality and sight has resumed and its a 6.7 for me this morning. Enjoy your day 🙂😉

Good news about the eye test Vee 🙂 Stress can raise levels, so probably contributed to the 8.3. I always say to the nurse 'You're going to make me cry now, aren't you?' 😱 :D
 
Morning. Up early to get a bit of peace before the family descend. 6.7 today. A dull, damp autumnal morning which isn’t much fun when walks are planned. I dare say some whinging will be in order ( from the pre teens) but I’m sure some bribery will help! Have a great day everyone. 🙂
 
Another one in the 8s, 8.8.

I had hoped that as my Libre is on day 11 it was a discrepancy but the BG was exactly the same. One good point. Graph was level overnight, just not where I want it to be. Correction ratios altered, and TBR set, but no idea for the reason, as yet, except still in a lot of pain from hip.
 
Mornings folks 🙂

Still stuffed up with a thumping headache but surely it cant last much longer! :(

6.0 for me this morning, appointment at 10 for my injection, thankfully doesn't seem as cold as it was yesterday

have a lovely day folks 🙂
xx
 
I was at 4.1 before bed, so I had toast with a little jam.

This morning 6.4 - guess the toast maybe was not such a good idea - oops

Anyway have a good day folks
 
6.6 for me - I'm quite stressed out about another matter so I suppose it's Ok considering. 🙂

P.S.
Forgot to say. Last night, I cracked open my last remaining tin of Lidl’s vine leaves stuffed with rice. I’ve only been eating cauliflower rice in the last few months but just couldn’t resist a Greek themed starter to our dinner. White rice used to send my readings quite high, so I was expecting that result. But what the heck, eh? Considering the rice and vine leaves made up about 28g of carbs, the result – pre dinner 5.0, 2 hrs later 5.8 – was quite pleasing. Unfortunately, the two generous glasses of ouzo with the meal rendered me almost unconscious and I forgot to take a reading another 2 hours later. Still it was worth it!!🙄

Good morning . I haven’t read any posts yet Asha’s an unexpected but much appreciated sleep in.
Woke to 5.3 with a good attempt at a; overnight flatfish 🙂, so it’s looking like 7.5 units of basal is right.....
for now. No sign yet of my bolus ratio coming back down.

I have nursie this morning, I bet I get the hypo chat again and I’ve put my log book somewhere safe, so safe I can’t find it 😱

Hope you all have a good day, I will catch up with posts after I have found my log.

Michael, what's your basal regime? You have many over night lows.

15 units of Toujeo - down from 18.
It's not so much that, it's the eating regime that I think is the problem. I never have much of an appetite, I eat because I have to, not because I want or need to. I only, generally, eat in the early evening, about 6 pm. I have to have injections and tablets at 7 pm and by 7.30 I can hardly get up the stairs because I am falling asleep. I get up at 6 or 7 am so I have been 12 hours or so asleep. I do have biscuits and JB's on my bedside table just in case I need them in the night.
 
7.5, but still stressing about this office move, and everything I have to do at home before I go away. Silly I know. On a brighter note, I ran my 5k with the running club and it was my fastest ever, was 45 seconds per km faster than Sunday's run, but I knew I could push myself with it being a short run.
 
Good morning 8.8 for me but a lot to do with being disorganised house like aneka’s midden as getting new bedroom furniture. Almost got lost in dark as landmark furniture moved lol
 
Good morning 4.6 on a very sore face day.:( Haven`t taken any Insulin yet will recheck at noon. DSN just phoned to see how I was coping and run through the Insulin regime.🙂

Suns just come out so here`s hoping for a good day, enjoy your day folks.🙂

That's a really substantial improvement in your kilometre time Lorraine! 🙂 That's the advantage I have always found - becoming accustomed to much longer runs really makes those shorter one so much easier, both mentally and physically 🙂 Keep up the good work!
 
Good morning everyone🙂

Told you a curry was a bolus nightmare:D Woke in the night with a LO, corrected with Dextrose tabs, woke up eventually on 9.2. I’ve only been doing this 23 years, so one of these days I’ll get curries right:D

Anyway, all that sorted, I’m just waiting for the podiatrist to arrive to sort out my toenails, which I can’t reach. She’s young and attractive, so I’ll feel like a prince. Well, not totally, can’t afford extras.🙄

This bit of the post is later - my feet have been fettled, toenails trimmed, cream applied, and no sensory loss. Mind, I knew that anyway, but there’s nothing wrong with having it confirmed🙂 The podiatrist walked (and scrambled) up Ben Nevis last week. Glorious sunshine, so the views should have been fantastic. All you can see, though, is more mountains to climb.:confused:

The Isle of Mull has only one Munro (that’s a mountain above 3,000ft) but the views are better from the top. As well as Skye, Coll, Tyree, Rum, and Islay, on a clear day you can just see Northern Ireland. A short hop for an Irish saint back in the day.😎

Right, that’s quite enough tourism info, have a good day everyone.🙂

I will, if my computer comes back from hospital. Still undiagnosed. (Like me I suppose:D)
