Group 7-day waking average?

I hope @Ralph-YK and every one else who is poorly is better soon .
 
Good morning folks, it seems quite a few of us are engaged in reducing our insulin. It looks I may now need to start reducing my bolus. Fingers crossed I’ve nabbed my Basal........for the time being 🙄
Oops I nearly forgot
6.2 all due to under bolusing for a late night, well pre bed really , Jamaican patty that I discovered Iceland do, very nice it was too.
Note to self, leave those patties alone, leave those patties alone leave those..........🙂

RLS is a pain in the proverbial Ljc ~ no control of the legs whatsoever, they have a mind of their own! Its like pedalling a bike forwards ~ legs all over the bed fighting with the duvet ~ they just won't rest. Gets to the point that I have to get out of bed and walk around for a while. I believe we've all been sent here to be tried ~ just wish whoever sent us to please not try too hard in future!

@Ljc unfortunately my neighbour's bedroom is in their converted attic so they won't hear the fence rattling mores the pity. I'll trot round there later to ask them nicely to fix the fence panel.

Morning all from a dry, not so chilly, windy Pagham, considering our caravan is basically a large tin box the heating works extremely well. Another 7.7 for me today, could my evening treat of monkey nuts be raising it? I have no idea! Popped into Bognor yesterday to get a couple of bits, it’s only a place to visit once a year me thinks, really not much there.
Got to go to Tesco and Sainsbury’s today to get food for the farewell party tomorrow, more cleaning to get van ready for shut down so not an exciting day but can do things in our own time instead of running round like a headless chicken as I do at home.
Sorry to hear of those of you suffering from RLS, have only had this very intermittently myself and it was HORRIBLE, my sympathies are with you. Keep well everyone and enjoy your day xx
 
Morning everybody.🙂
Windy here as well last night and this morning.
The poor old trees are totally bare now.😱
4.6 pour moi as Del Boy might say. 😛

I've noticed too, perhaps it's global warming (although it's not exactly been warm here!) 😱 I was aware that I had been using less novorapid recently so I checked back to this time last year in my diaries. On 20th November last year I needed a total of 35 units of novorapid. Yesterday I needed a total of FIVE units! 😱 Quite astonishing! In recent weeks it had come down to around 15, probably due to me doing more running now I have the asthma under better control, but I don't think I have ever been as low as 5 for an entire day. For my evening meal last night I had chilli and rice, plus a chocolate dessert and a couple of chocolate digestives - for that lot I injected ONE unit! 😱

Clearly, I have a very 'interesting' type of diabetes and I'm wondering if my consultant will be able to shed any light on it when I have my review in December. I recently learned that a FB friend of mine (also a former member of the forum) who has been Type 1 for 10 years, stopped needing insulin at all a year ago, and now just has the occasional half tablet of gliclizide 😱 I don't think I'm at that stage yet, and maybe I never will be, but it does sound like we share a similar weirdness 🙂

6.0 for me this morning after a JB in the night when my Libre showed I was at 4.2 with a down arrow - and bear in mind that that was when I had injected only one unit about 10 hours previously and eaten about 80g of carbs 😱
 
Good morning 4.3 dropping to 2.7 an hour later, even after 2 JB`s and 2 Rich Tea biscuits.🙄 Yes another one here who has to reduce his Basal, last year in November as @Northerner I was on double what I am now, my NovoRapid is still down to amount of carbs with a 1:7 ratio.🙂

Well its wet and windy here those of you who are not well stay warm and safe, enjoy your day folks.🙂

Could you bottle it and sell it, please? Though if it requires compulsory running, I think I'd rather stick to insulin!😱
 
Evening all. Been quite nice here, managed to get in the garden raking leaves and tidying up. Didn't do my bg this morning, I know I'm going to go off the rails when I don't even take my morning bg. 🙄

I envy you I really do lol, I'll have to get back on the cross trainer properly once this ankle has healed and see if I can join you down there, na sorry I like you and all that but you my lovely are a very weird diabetic :D xx
 
Evening all. Hope everyone had a good day.

Well all the children survived and are reunited with parents. I’ve been reunited with silence and no requests of help to locate missing socks, shoes, socks, sleeping bags....Fantastic time and lovely to see the children develop as little teams helping each other and working together (I’m ignoring the odd squabble that occurred, put them down to excitement!). Same place, same time next year for an extra night !!!

oops I forgot 4.2 at 6.40 this morning

Good morning folks . 6.7 when I woke up earlier , all due to needing to guzzle down some full fat Coke.
A tad less Basal today methinks and there was me thinking I had it nabbed 🙄
Coke , lemonade , juice etc or even worse gluco tabs at silly o/clock are so 76B2E332-ECA5-45D2-B544-7FBB5F338804.gif

Hope you all have the best day possible
For those of you who are poorly , injured and @Ralph-YK who is keeping a hospital bed company , I hope you are all much better soon.
