Group 7-day waking average?

Morning Folks,

Reporting a reading of 9.3 this morning.

We are getting a new front room carpet laid today plus a new tv stand, corner tables and table and chairs - it’s a good day for me to be at the office 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂

Well tomorrow it’ll be mine and Bruce’s 10 year anniversary!! 😱 I haven’t got him much but it is a beautiful love coin that I bought a protective capsule for as well

Didn’t sleep very well last night and the twice I got to sleep I woke up crying with a nightmare :(, yes 28 this year but this happens quite a lot with me 🙄

Anyways its a 6.6 for me

Hope you all have a nice day! :D
xx
 
Morning all and a rather baffling 10.1 for me on the libre. All was going well until about 4am then lift off. 8.8 on the finger post cat feeding so an extra unit with brekkie should sort it.

Have a good day everyone.
 
6.8 this morning and no idea what happened overnight as sensor ended, swiper needed charging, .... so activating new sensor this morning.

Enjoy Versailles @eggyg , hope you still recognise your living room @Rob51
Good level @Kaylz considering such a scary night. Sleep well tonight.

Off to do more weaving today in another lovely sunny day.
 
Good Morning 🙂
And the scores on the doors today are ...... 4.7 :D

Interestingly yesterday managed to push it down to 4.5 and it bounced back to 4.8 with no carbs in, yay I can turn fat into glucose. (well interesting to me 🙂)
 
6.2 on another fine autumnal day.

It’s patently obvious that there’s a new series of Peaky Blinders on TV at the moment, as all the young lads are sporting that Shelby haircut.
I’d like to be all hip and trendy and get one too, but sadly I’d look like Gregor Fisher’s baldy man. 😱😛

Morning. Another Len Goodman for me, well at least I’m consistent! Just a quickie today as we’re off to The Palace of Versailles very soon. Trying to beat the queues! Au revoir. 🙂

Versailles is just beautiful, I hope you have a lovely time and sounds like you are having a great time x
 
Good morning form the sunny E Kent coast.
Woke to 6.4 finger bodge 5.4 scan with a beautiful overnight flat line . Had two bleeders this morning, it’s been months since I had one then I go and get two in one sitting 🙄.

It’s looking like I need to reduce my bolus by half a unit 🙂 I’ve already had to reduce the time I need to wait after jabbing for brekkie to a much more reasonable 25 minutes 🙂

Hope you all have a good day.
 
Morning all, awful night, up to the loo about 5 times and bit of tummy ache, think it’s the cystoscopy I had the other day. It didn’t go well, they found multiple areas of calcification which was horrible to see on the screen. The urology registrar had never seen it before and neither had the nurses and the looks on their faces didn’t help me either. Am now being referred urgently to the ‘top guy’ so probably another few months before I’m seen. He also found a fistula which they had originally ruled out. I also have calcification in other lady areas. Am so fed up with it this has been going on for years and years and is all due to having had a mesh implanted 20 years ago for urinary incontinence from having my children. These problems for many people are only now surfacing and basically the mesh breaks down, calcifies and becomes like sharp razors. For some people this in turn damages the nerves and there are people with terrible pain,thankfully not me but I’m very worried about nerve damage when they attempt to remove it. Feeling really cheesed off at the mo but I know there’s nothing I can do and am in their hands but the surgeons have so little experience of dealing with this it is worrying.

7.8 this morning which isn’t surprising. Have a good day, it is a beautiful sunny day here in Brighton x

How worrying for you.
 
Morning all, 7.4 for me today. I'm back home now after my training course in Birmingham. Passed everything so now the fun will start at work!

4.8 this morning, same as yesterday. Last four days 4.8, 5.2 4.8, 4.8 - this is uncharted territory for me. Not doing anything different. Used to getting mainly 5s and an occasional 6, but 4s have always been rare.

Yr trajectory just looks so much like mine. Stock-standard T2 fortunately caught before yr pancreas completely toasted; hepatic insulin resistance dealt with most likely via a bit of weight loss, so waking levels back to "normal" because overnight gluconeogenesis no longer badly regulated.

Sod all to do with carbs, that, and unless you have some remaining peripheral insulin resistance issues causing high post-prandial levels, you can probably ditch carb restrictions and check out of the D-hotel at yr leisure, at least unless you stack weight back on.

Seems that way to me, at any rate. (As I understand it, that's all stock-standard mainstream non-Internet-guru non-Yotube-guru medical stuff, by the way.)
 
A routine 5.5 for me, and generally in the same boat as Anitram.

Much in what you say Eddy but I would not dismiss carb ideas too quickly. Carb restriction worked for me in getting high levels down to normal but I have yet to do the reverse experiment - eating a Cornish pasty with a load of chips - to see if my newly rejuvenated system could deal with the glucose burden. Either way up, I reckon I can be less restrictive on carbs without any undue problems.
 
Good morning 5.3 on a very fine day, winds a bit blowy but 23.C on the outside temp gauge.🙂 Off to get my hair cut lunch time, number 3 all over.😎 Had a good day yesterday so going too relish that,🙂 having new smoke and carbon monoxide alarms fitted this afternoon, courtesy of Paignton Fire Brigade.😎

So sorry you had rotten news @SueEK, prayers for you as always, please take care.

What are you like @Kaylz, fancy having nightmares so close to your anniversary, happy 10th for tomorrow.🙂

Right hair cut time, enjoy your day folks, smile for the camera.🙂
