Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks it’s 7.7 today.
 
Morning all.🙂 4.4 here.😛

I think the dastardly DF has turned kleptomaniac @eggyg.🙄 I can’t find my medic alert bracelet. I normally keep it by the bed when I’m not wearing it...Give it back DF!😱

Hiya @wirralass...great post as usual. (((Group hug, group hug))).:D
 
Hi everyone. I over corrected a 14.5 and ended up with a 2.9. I didn’t even know it was that low until the alarm clock went off and when I scanned with the Libre it said 2.3
 
STOP PRESS! Found my sensor, it was in the dishwasher! Must have fell off as I was loading the dishwasher last night! Don’t think I’ll be calling Abbot, there was only four days left, mind you the last one fell off at exactly the same time. Hmm...maybe I should call. o_O
 
Oh dear, a 9.5 this morning, where on earth did that come from? I had a small jacket with lots of butter, cheese, corned beef and coleslaw last night but nothing after. Does anyone have any ideas why, the reason I’m concerned is I need to keep my bg’s low so that they are okay for when I have my op (not sure when yet). I have had a cup of decaf with 2 hermesetas and semi skimmed milk, could that be anything to do with it?

Very chilly this morning, am down our caravan and heating only just kicking in, brrrrr xx

I'd lean towards that as that's a lot of fat by the sounds of it so possibly delayed any spike and suffering the consequences now xx

Thanks Kaylz, knowledgeable as always, I know I’m sounding stupid but I thought it was ok to have fat, or was that simply too much?

it is ok but combined with the carbs of the jacket potato it will have slowed the absorption of the carbs, in a Type 1 its a problem in pizza etc and most find it best to split their insulin for it because of delayed spikes I myself have never been a fan of pizza so I just don't eat it lol xx
 
@Kaylz and @Anitram , thanks very much, I thought I had a fairly good grip of my diabetes but obviously not. I do struggle with what I eat, one because I don’t like a lot of foods and two I don’t want to lose anymore weight. I only do the occasional testing so maybe I had better up it a bit. Thanks again xx

Do you not keep your testing kit by your bed?

No in fact I don't, I keep it across the other side of the room, as knowing me, if I was to get it sorted in the middle of the night, half asleep, there would be strips everywhere! 😉🙂
Anyway, I got a 4.1 this morning, which is better, but still not what I would have expected, though from reading what others get, perhaps I should consider myself lucky? I thought it was mainly type 1's that had issues with hypos and other general low BG readings? o_O Bloody confusing this diabetes thing sometimes isn't it? :D

Good morning by the way on this lovely clear and chilly morning! :D

I cant remember if your on any medication but even though metformin isn't though to be a hypo causing med people on it have suffered hypo's, anything else like gliclazide etc can cause hypo's hence why people are prescribed strips when on it and of course any Type 2 that also is insulin dependant
 
0.5 degC outside at the moment, but a beautiful sunny cloudless morning.
And an equally beautiful 4.9 on the clock. 🙂

Have a great weekend everybody!

No, I haven't been on any medication for my D for almost two years, but I used to often have very low BG in the morning, but got past it with the odd biccie. I thought the problem was gone, but it has returned. Never mind, I just need to stop worrying, because I am sure it is only a small problem, if problem at all. 🙂
 
7.5 this morning after a bit of a sugar binge yesterday after a stressful day at work, still not feeling great, still on antibiotics which cause lots of side effects especially digestive ones, doing 2 people's work as my colleague is off sick due to being on antibiotics, anyway let my emotions get the better of me and ended u binging on my supply of emergency jelly babies, not looking forward to working today, but it is Friday and last day of antibiotics so will,hopefully start feeling stronger soon.

I hope your ok now and not hungover.
 
Good morning 4.3 couple of JB`s and a Rich Tea biscuit brought it up to 6.1.🙂 Feel a lot better today after stopping Statins, had something to eat at 13:30 but got the Bolus wrong out of practice after nothing to eat for three days.🙄

Congratulations on HS @Hazel.🙂

Hope you feel better over the weekend @Grannylorraine.🙂

Take care Amanda hope you recovered without any added problems.

Have a good day folks if you can, bad weather is ruling at the moment, stay safe.
 
Sorry guys not been around too much, I'm going through a rough patch myself and Bubbles has gotten himself another urine infection, this time had to collect a sample and while he's been on Metacam and some pills for the last few days Bruce has to go up and collect some more pills this evening, we're having to put them in his food though as he's easy enough to squirt Metacam down his throat but he will not take a tablet xx
