Group 7-day waking average?

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 9.9 for this morning

To be expected really as I got to work yesterday and realised I had not had my insulin so went home to work there but it too late for my dosage and as the day progressed I started feeling really yuk so ended up in bed 3pm for an hour after readings of 22.7 then 17.2 then went back to bed 9pm on a 12.3.

I’ve had my insulin this morning though.

That's the problem with a mixed insulin :( With separate fast and slow you would have had more options for either a correction or reduced basal - still tricky though when you miss a dose! 😱

How do you do that???

One obvious possibility is that you're actually a pre-production android prototype, designed to replace us v1.0 humans once they've fixed the minor simulated-pancreas glitch.

It's like the opposite of Dawn Phenomenon! 😱 Now you mention it, I do have a tendency to phase in and out of alternative realities... 😱 :D
 
Morning. A very tired 6.3. Woke at 3 and I feel like I have tossed and turned all night. Hot, cold, achy legs, achy back. Won’t even have the chance of a nana nap today, my pile of ironing requires crampons to get to the top and I’m off out with a friend after lunch. No rest for the wicked. Have a great day. 🙂
 
6.9 this morning for me
 
5.8 for me this morning.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all, 6.6 today and aches and pains are slowly reducing. Oddly have aches in places that never went anywhere near the stones, putting it down to reverberations as I’m too bony!! Hope all of you with injuries are coping and recovering. @Grannylorraine i worked as a medico-legal secretary for an orthopaedic surgeon and you definitely have a case for compensation from the bus company, up to you whether you pursue that.
Have a good day all x
Edit: sorry @Grannylorraine that last point was supposed to be for @Hazel

Morning everyone to anyone who remembers me. I’m making a rare visit having not been on here for quite some time but have kept up to date on everyone’s progress and trials and tribulations as I’ve circumnavigated my own.

I’m now undergoing my treatment for leukaemia and doing well though the side effects are brutal on my already battered joints. Sadly I must be on the only cancer treatment that ‘assists’ you to gain weight! 🙄 However my last Hba1c was 38 with no meds so did well over a difficult period. I know I’m slipping now so I’m back reading posts in an attempt to slap myself around a bit and take control of the carbs. Exercise is more difficult at the moment not aided by managing to throw myself down the stairs just before Christmas and break my toe! What an idiot but I was a lovely all over colour for the festive season.

Well I was a 6.7 this morning which isn’t great for me but hopefully it will improve again. Last year I was regularly getting into low 5’s and it was like the diabetes didn’t exist for some time. However, it does and I need to address it.

Best wishes to everyone and keep up the good fight.

Yes, I remember you, welcome back! I think last time you were here regularly you were facing the start of treatment, and I’m glad it’s going well, despite SEs.
 
Good morning 10.2 after eating two Rich Tea biscuits at bed time, I was 4.8 at the time so thought a few slow acting carbs would be ok through the night.🙄 A slight adjustment with NR quickly brought it down to a pleasant 5.1.🙂 Laundry all washed and dried so a bit more ironing if you want @eggyg,:D weather isn`t very good raining but still quite warm we have our AGM today so expecting a rise in the service charge.🙄

Congratulations on HS @Grannylorraine.🙂

Nice to see you posting again @Amigo great HbA1c result under the circumstances.🙂

Take care folks have a good day.🙂

Good to hear from you @Amigo 🙂 I'm glad to hear that your treatment is going well, and that's a great HbA1c, especially given everything else you have going on 🙂 You're in good company here with the accidental falls, several members have reported similar mishaps! 😱
 
Welcome back @Amigo and sorry to hear of your troubles but glad that you have that good upbeat attitude and levels are good. Look forward to reading your posts. Take care x

Thanks northerner, I was sad to hear you’d given up the command post but good luck to your successors but I’m glad you are still posting and sharing your sound advice on here. Hope you’re continuing to enjoy the beauty of your new (ish) area.

Yes I’d read a few posts from others who’d taken tumbles and bad falls. My husband is threatening to put me in those reins you get for the toddlers! 🙂
Many thanks to those kind people who have liked and posted.

Welcome back.
 
Well I am posting for yesterday and today. Somewhat embarrassed at readings but I said I was going to post good and bad since New Year....
So.... yesterday morning I had a shocking 12.8 despite having a very low carb dinner the night before. I did however eat very late and went to bed even later, so didn't have much sleep and I also came down with a cold overnight.
This morning a slightly better 8.8 but despite increasing basal and corrective bolus at breakfast, I am still 8.4.
I am actually considering starting to take the few Metformin I have left to see if that makes any difference as I feel like this steady increase in need for insulin may be some resistance. I really need to do more exercise as well as I have had a few quite sedentary days but having a cold and bad weather is not encouraging me to do that. I really should get my bot into gear and try that before resorting to pills though.

@Hazel .... hope you are not too unwell.... concerned that you haven't posted for a couple of days since your accident on the bus.
@Grannylorraine congrats on your HS.
@Lanny .... if you are out there reading this.... we still miss you!
