Group 7-day waking average?

eggyg said:
Morning on this calmer day. A 6.4. It appears my meter has lost its fives again! They just keep disappearing, I suspect it’s the Diabetes Fairy stealing them to order for you lot! Another rubbish night, not only do I have to contend with back/hip pain, seasonal and wedding insomnia but I’m now full of cold! What will keep me awake tonight folks? Answers on postcard to PO Box FEDUP NOW! Have a Happy Monday y’all. 🙂

Get well soon.
 
Well I was in double figures all weekend despite using extra units of insulin here and there and eating very little.... why can't I maintain a stable 5-7 like I can a 10-12 even when I don't want to!! This morning I woke up feeling pretty rough and when I checked I was 3.9 which I knew would happen sooner or later as I got more and more frustrated. Had a small chocolate ginger biscuit to bring me up to a lovely 6.0 15 mins later. I then took 4 units of Fiasp for my usual 30g carb breakfast... which previously I would have used 2 or 3 units of NR. 2.5 hours later I was up to 14.6 and feeling rough again..... I guess I'm just no good at this diabetes lark or I am permanently hosting the DF and need an eviction order!

Got a cold, which apparently pushes my reading higher. 6.3 this morning. I was back down to 5.5 at lunch, so I guess I'm going to be averaging around 6 today. Bleah.

Hey, don't knock it. I would kill for steady 6s!

I can't imagine what a pain in the rear it must be to have to deal with type 1. You'd think some high tech startup would have fixed it by now, rather than manual dosing. So you have my sympathy, I can hardly control myself at the best of times so having to do it for everything I ate would be rough.

It can sure be a pain in the butt can’t it . I wish someone could teach diabetes the rules , so it would know what it’s supposed to do 🙄o_O

I hope you feel better soon
 
Good morning folks. After some naughtiness last night and some verrry conservative bolusing as it was close to bedtime , I was surprised to wake to 5.4 . I went to bed on 6.4 my graph showed an initial rise later a slow decline then a flatfish.

The plumber came last night, kitchen tap is all sorted now, what annoys us is, a few years ago either of us would have been able to sort it ourselves.

They have actually, it's called an artificial pancreas or 'closed-loop' system 🙂 They are not cheap though and not yet widely available :(

Good morning 🙂 5.8 on new sensor - seems to be behaving itself 🙂 Tried to do some Christmas shopping online yesterday for my family but couldn't think what to get people and ended up buying myself a new guitar 😱 Oh well, at least I bought something! 😱 :D

:D:D:D
 
Good morning all it's a 7.1 from me this morning on a dark wet morning
 
Good morning. A very welcome 5.4. I can only assume The Diabetes Fairy and Dawn are still in bed, the lazy nowts! Had a much better night, can only think it’s because the GP has prescribed me some more codeine. I’ll post a new thread re this as I want to ask you lovely folks for some advise. Christmas tree is up but bare so Operation Bauble commences today. I’ve never had my tree up so early but next week is Wedding Week and I think I’ll be a tad busy! Have a great day whatever you decide to do or in the case of the wage slaves whatever you HAVE to do. 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂

It's a 6.7 for me this morning, waiting on breakfast bolus getting going, 10 more minutes should do 🙄

My foot has improvement! I could spread my toes out a little by bedtime last night and I can bend my toes slightly this morning, fingers crossed it keeps going that way, not much on today, mix based for my eliquid and start the concentrates hopefully on Thursday as mums out tomorrow afternoon so I need to keep an eye on the beast

Have a lovely day folks :D
Xx
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.6 for this morning

Very windy on doggy walk off to office shortly
 
Morning all, 8.3 for me today. Work has gone mad and silly season is in full swing!
 
Morning all, 7.0 here. I woke up at 2am, with the sensation that my BG was dropping. Tested and I was 5.0, but had a small biccy to be on the safe side, my overnight BG normally bottoms out between 3am and 4am.
