Group 7-day waking average?

[eggyg]

Good morning 🙂 5.9 for me today 🙂 Managed to book an ASDA slot which ought to give me sustenance for a few more weeks 🙂 Slots are still very much booked up though, this was the only one in the next two weeks and it looks like it might be one that someone had let expire. Anxious times

I can’t get a Tesco one at all for the next three weeks. I feel the only way is to be constantly checking the site. Not much fun. Can’t wait until we are back to “ normal” normal!

Good morning on this beautiful, sunny day. A scorcher is promised. Well, my run ( if you can call 3 a run) of fives sadly ended today. 6.3, not too shabby but a bit disappointing after a 10 mile walk yesterday. It’ll possibly hit tomorrow when I least expect it. The diabetes world is as confusing as the Covid 19 world. You don’t know what will happen next. I never watched any news yesterday, got the numbers from Worldometer. It’s very accurate and gives all the information the so called “ experts” spout out at 5 o’clock everyday. A bit achy today so will just have a quiet day at home, I will let the hordes descend on the beauty spots and then hear/ see them complain and/ or take photos and post on FB how disgusting it was as it was so crowded! “What the heck emoji” á la @Lanny. Have a sunny day wherever you are. 🙂

Morning all and 7.3 for me although only 6.2 at first waking, looks like that triggered a bit of DP.

Got news from work that they anticipate home working for the majority of us for the rest of the year.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all, 5.7 here.

Shouldn't you get priority?

hard

yes its difficult but very manageable if you take time to fully understand your own personal insulin needs through constant testing and adjusting of basal and bolus where they need adjusting, its not as hard as some would think though xx

Morning

Bruce had a rake around his house last night and found a full tube of O’Keefe’s hand cream so that belongs to me now too, fingers crossed my hands will be healing and feeling better in no time! Also dropped off a Kingsmill Tasty Wholemeal in case Lidl don’t have my Hovis when he’s up tomorrow, fingers crossed they have multi surface antibacterial wipes back in as I’m anxious about running out of those, I’ll receive delivery of my prescription from him though as that’s been ready to be collected since late Saturday afternoon, just test strips and BP pills this time

Anyways its a waking 4.1 up to 4.9 after a glucose chew from me today, BG seemed to be a bit better throughout the day yesterday so basal adjustments are hopefully taking effect, just a shame it takes so long with Tresiba

Stay safe and well my lovelies
xx

See! I’ve said there simply aren’t enough official emojis for use on these forums: @eggyg has made up & verbalised her own!😉

Morning all 6.7 for me.

I’m going to try and get something prescribed for the pain in my foot as it kept me awake most of the night, it’s the main non healing fracture in my foot and it is been playing up the last few days. It’s made me right grumpy!🙄 My walk is on hold today.

I hope you’re all doing ok🙂

 

[eggyg]

Shouldn't you get priority?

I haven’t registered as haven’t received “ the letter”! The extremely vulnerable list doesn’t show splenectomy patients but neither does the vulnerable list anymore! I’m not on any lists, should I just tootle off to Tesco myself? 😡 I’ve unshielded myself and have put myself back on the vulnerable list, I feel I know myself better than those in their ivory towers compiling “ lists”.

Basal testing. I got up a page of instructions. I normally only bolus before my one meal of the day which is dinner at 6 pm but yesterday having considered what my friends here have said I decided to try. I ate a large lunch and bolused for it (it was hard work eating at that time of day) and then had to wait 4 hours. Unfortunately after 3 hours I had all of the symptoms of a hypo coming on so tested and I was 1.9! Of course I had to combat this by eating more carbs and so the test was ruined.
As if life wasn't difficult enough at the moment!

 

[Kaylz]

@Michael12421 which might suggest your bolus ratio was incorrect if you don't generally have hypo's at that time of day or your timing for the meal was wrong, ratio's can vary on time of day for the same individual but those were things I was keen to learn and started as soon as I was carb counting less than a month after I was diagnosed, I dread to think what situation I'd be in today if I hadn't taken the time to learn about my own personal case

 

[miguel81]

Actually I gave myself less NR than I would normally for the carbs in lunch because I was anxious to complete the test. Seems like the DF was imposing her authority yet again. Bitch!

yes but less when you don't have an established ratio doesn't mean anything, you need to learn your carb ratio's rather than just guess them to be able to gain better control, what ratio are you using?

I’m supposed to get priority shopping deliveries but it’s still a matter of competing with everyone else. Asda has been very good so far but I have to book weeks in advance.

A 6.4 today and we’ve had a bit of a Covid spike in our town over last couple of days due they think to the VE parties.

 

[miguel81]

If you mean by ratios is the amount of NR I inject according to my carb intake it is this. I take a reading whilst dinner is being prepared or is cooking then I inject the number of units according to the carbs by looking at the book that Rebrascora kindly sent me. If my reading is acceptably low then that is all I do. If my reading is high then I inject 1 or maybe 2 extra units of NR as a corrective dose.

If you do what I did, that is ring Tesco Customer services and explain your situation, they will put you on the priority list and the priority button on the website will allow you to access those. There are always days available, but you can’t book a specific hour, though they do ring you on the day with an approximate arrival time. You may find it a bit tricky if you’ve been shopping normally recently, but tell them you’ve been advised by your doctor.
