Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all on another very dark morning. A, not unexpected but had my fingers crossed, 7.2. Rice! Say no more! A terrible blustery, wet day yesterday and looking to be much the same today. So another day in the walker’s prison. So will just have another day by the fire and will start a new book. After I’d tidied up after breakfast, put a wash on, cleaned the en-suite and prepare the vegetables and chicken for tea.

@Robin has your hubby perfected the “ I told you so” look yet? Mr Eggy has it down to a tee! :D
Have a great day everyone. 🙂
 
Good morning - or is it? Felt a trifle wobbly this morning but that's all. When I measured I was 1.8. I wonder if there is something wrong with my meter so did it again - still 1.8.
 
6.4 this morning, so slowly coming down, wondering if that was the cup of highlights hot chocolate I had last night, I had a sachet and checked the carbs in it which was just under 5 per cup, I looked at the options ones but they were nearly double the carbs, but I was so cold after running so wanted something to warm me up, I don't drink tea and it was far too late to drink coffee. Slight congested throat so hope I am not getting something. Got an appointment to see docs next week to see if I can be put on slow release Metformin after the issues the last few days. Strange thing is it is horrendous for about 4/5 hours and I can't leave the house, then fine right round until the next morning, then it starts again.

Been feeling really down lately with a head full of worry- really not like me at all. At least the days are lengthening noticeably now.

Have a good stable bg kind of day if you can 🙂

Congratulations on the House Spesh, @Flower! 🙂 I'm very sorry to hear you have been feeling down, I had noticed that you weren't posting :( Let's hope that soon the birds will be a-twittering and the air filled with the aroma of fresh blossoms as Spring arrives and lifts all our spirits! 🙂 Big {{{HUGS}}} for you, my friend

Oh Michael, that is worrying, I am not in insulin so can't offer any advice, but hope you get those numbers up quickly with your preferred hypo treatment.

Oh my goodness Michael! 😱 I do hope your levels rise soon and you don't feel too bad 🙂
 
6.4 for me today, feeling rather tired last few days and runny nose, hope it doesn’t develop into anything. We are going to Isle of Wight for a few days next week so want to stay well. Having my hair done today, the grey is making too much of an appearance but thankfully my daughter in law makes them vanish 🙂. Bright sunny cold day yesterday, warm wet and miserable today. Take care everyone especially those with ailments xx
 
4.2 this dull and miserable morning. 🙂
Not me - I've got my new phone to set-up/play with. 😛

Have a great day everybody.

Well now, it's a... 5.9 for me. First morning in a long time that I don't need to do a corrective morning dose. I went to bed last night having eaten hours earlier, so I think moving my dinner forward a couple of hours or so is really going to help nail this. Plus no treats after working on the house. I've woken up feeling super positive today. It's my annual health review results appointment at my local GP in a couple of hours, where i'll find out the exact A1c result. Let's see if I can keep hold of my positivity...

7.1 for me this morning, which I am reasonably happy about. Today is the first day of me making a concerted effort to have regular meals and eat dinner before 8pm.... I know that earlier would be better but I am trying to make my target reasonably achievable. Let's see if I can get my readings more consistently in range before I see my consultant next month.

@Flower
Congrats on your HS. Hope it helps to pick your spirits up (it would mine.... I would be dancing round the house like an idiot if I got one) and that the longer days and hopefully a little milder weather and sunshine will make you feel better. Snowdrops are out so spring is coming.

@Michael12421
So sorry to read that you have had another bad hypo. Do you have any idea why? ie did you miscalculate your bolus last night do you think or have one too many glasses of wine? Do you eat late in the evening like me (I know it is the custom in Spain to eat late) and this can cause erratic overnight readings.
Hope you are feeling better now.
 
No I calculated my bolus based on a) my reading before dinner and b) what I was going to eat. My basal was reduced by 1 unit. I just don't understand it. I do not eat late - around 6pm - I do not drink much alcohol. I do have about the equivalent of 2 glasses of wine in the evening, one whilst I am cooking and the other with my meal.

That must be so frustrating.....
How about activity? Had you had a particularly busy day or done some manual work or a long walk that day? A combination of the 2 glasses of wine and some physical work might do it.... doesn't have to be particularly exertive.
There are so many factors with diabetes and you don't always get an immediate effect with them so it can be the next day before you suffer a reaction and it is sometimes hard to relate it back to what you did the day before by the time it happens.
 
I do the same amount of walking each day with my dogs - 3 times a day - and perhaps a quick (?) walk into the village if I need to shop. Total each day is only about 5 km. So my daily habit is the same yet I get these extreme highs and lows. Beyond comprehension.
