Group 7-day waking average?

Hazel said:
Hello everyone

Had to seek help from Gp, as I was still in so much pain, after the fall. She prescribed Tramadol, which has helped immensely, but I am sleeping the clock round. I am such a wimp, not used to such strong meds. Now she is talking about physio. Next week a CT scan to check sinuses, I feel as though I am a walking wreck.

Anyway, 5.9 for me today

Take care everyone

Poor you, Hazel. Tramadol works wonders for the pain but does knock you out. You have to accept it. Hope they monitor you and you are not on it for too long. I had to take it (and morphine) for several months following an operation. Not pleasant - but rest allows the body to heal and when unconscious we can't feel pain.
 
6.4 for me this morning.
Didn't have a good day yesterday as I craved all day and despite doing my best to nibble on just low carb treats when I was desperately gnawing at my fingers, I did resort to some naughty carbs including more than one Fibre One Brownie and even some of my hypo treatment jelly beans, which of course all had to be counteracted with insulin. Was quite relieved to find I was only 9.1 at bedtime and feel quite lucky to wake up to an in range reading this morning, Trying to have a better day today but having a few more carbs to try to offset any craving. Maybe all the exercise I got over the last few days had my body screaming for some easy glucose.

@Hazel
Sorry to hear that you are not recovering as quickly as you had hoped but pleased that you have sought medical advice and now have some stronger medication to help your body rest and recover. Keep us posted but hope the CT scan shows nothing seriously amiss.

Sorry to hear you had a cr*p day Ted :( Hope all goes well at your appointments tomorrow 🙂
 
7.3 for me. 🙂 Lol at WL, blistering barnacles! That's when I knew I was getting old, I switched from fancying TinTin to fancying Captain Haddock. :D

Had my lowest low carb day to date yesterday - this reading seems to suggest to me that I can have a few more carbs than I did as it didn't bring the BG down. I wasn't hungry and didn't intend on a Keto style day but it just worked out that way with low carb choices, I still had 3 meals and snacks.

Well done Neens that's an amazing result

Thanks, Kay - have been doing BG for 3 weeks so can begin to see patterns (I know that diabetes has a habit of giving us random/unexpected readings - so still hold my breath for the secs before reading appears on screen)!
My highest waking has been 5.9 (higher than this throughout the day) all under 7 at the moment (from 17).

Exercise certainly makes us feel like we need it. I know I have a different type, but I try to vary the low carb foods as I am still trying to lose weight. So I will have one very low carb day then some closer to the top end I set. The body does that thing otherwise of telling the brain it needs something that it doesn't.

Hope you had a better day.

You're not alone Neens as most of us hold our breath waiting for an acceptable number! 🙂

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE on this dark damp & foggy start to the day.
I can't believe I've scored a 6.2 ~ I almost passed out as it's the first time I've produced a number in the 6's that I can recall since before I was ill back end of last year ~ and the first time my number is lower than that of @Northerner's🙂🙂
I'm amazed at my number coz I caved in last night and ate 6 cubes of Turkish delight!!! Argh! Naughty naughty! I tested twice and the second drop of the red stuff produced a 6.3 so I ain't complaining!

Yesterday the Nursie performed an ECG on me and pleased to report my ikkl ol 'ticker is healthy and ticking over just nicely, phew! Tomorrow I will see my GP regarding my ever painful dodgy right knee & thigh. Think I'll move my bed into my GP's surgery coz I've spent more than enough times attending appointments in there!

Hope each & everyone of you are as well as you can be. Take care.

Good morning 🙂

So we're back to a drop after tea the last couple of days (didnt happen monday as it was an even weirder day dropping before tea 🙄) so we'll be in the 7's at tea time and in the 5's in under 2 hours needing to take 1 or 2 glucose tabs, 6.2 before tea last night so wasnt having a drop so reduced by half a unit and was 5.9 at bedtime hovering around 6.6 the few hours after tea, so that's possibly the way I'm going to have to work things 🙄

5.3 after a digestive biscuit at bedtime, hopefully pick up all my prescription this afternoon and chill as still feel off with this cold

Have a great day my lovelies
Xx
