Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all it’s a 6.8 for me.

I fell off a kerb whilst playing let’s not walk into each other on a pavement yesterday and my one shoulder is really painful.My crutch slipped and I followed it😱 it’s all out there to do isn’t it!

I hope you’re ok out there, I’m staying put today🙂
 
Morning all 14.7 today, not feeling too great in general today, hips are killing me as tripped over the blooming cat last night.

Oh dear Flower I hope you are ok, as if you don’t have enough to cope with. Hope you don’t have too many bruises and feel better soon x

Morning all - how are you today

4.6 today

So, it was an early rise for me as I had to make way to the Suegery for my B12 jab, so should be feeling the benefit over the weekend hopefully.

Stay safe people
 
@Flower oh no! I hope you feel better soon! Take it easy, I'd go grab a bag of frozen peas for your shoulder for you if I could!
@brisr949 hope you feel better soon! cats can be a royal PITA, ours is but then he's got his cone of shame that quite often gets in our way!

Well, a very disappointing 10.5 for me this morning so will have to out my night time basal back up. I knocked it back down to 7 units last night because I had a late walk up to see the horses which is a mile up the hill and then back and I was carrying feed buckets and I also had a nightcap. I then forgot that I have swapped back to NR from Fiasp and need to give it over an hour. Got busy making my porridge with 30g jumbo oats, a few frozen berries, seeds, nuts and yoghurt and started eating only 40 mins after injecting. My BG had shot up to 16.7 within 20 mins of eating it and has stayed stubbornly at 12-13 ever since, so perhaps daytime basal needs an extra unit too. Hard to believe the cooler weather can have a significant effect.

Congrats to @ColinUK and @Freddie1966 on your House Specials. @ColinUK your numbers have certainly improved dramatically since starting the Fast 800, which must be helping with motivation. Good luck with the continued weight loss.

They have improved and I'm feeling better all round. I'm still tempted by the evils of crisp french bread though! Although I've not actually had anything the diet doesn't allow. I'm debating whether to allow myself a day off and note how I feel and use that as added motivation to power me through the rest of the way. I know that seems like a silly approach but it's how my mind is working.
 
😉 @ColinUK I can see how you would need a little extra motivation to stick at it because I know for a fact that I couldn't manage to do it, but I think it may be a little early to be naughty. You are only a couple of weeks in aren't you and getting an HS should be "almost" as good as a crisp fresh French stick 😉 Stay strong, you can do it!

Yes Boss! 🙂
 
5.0 for me this morning. Lousy sleep last night for no particular reason so I’m going to doze a while longer methinks.
 
Morning all. The dog has got me up so that I can watch her walking around the garden trying to find grass to eat, not much luck for her as it is crisp ‘n dry out there. 6.3 for me today. Going to sit in sons garden again today but ordering food rather than the promised bbq. Neither will be great for my food choices though, blimey food dominates my life now!
Dry and sunny so far but supposedly the wind is going to get up later. The R number is going up so hope everyone stays away from Brighton - it’s shut, go away, don’t come :confused: :confused:
Stay safe x
 
Morning all,
6.4 for me this morning, could be demonstrating the lasting effect of yesterday's curry?
Still Mrs Snowwy was pleased as one of her favourites!
@SueEK we shall come to Brighton one day, when all is well again... I just love those sandy beaches down there 😎 in the mean time, enjoy that BBQ!

Blessings Snowwy
 
05:58 BS 5.3 😱 JUST a shave off that elusive HS!:D Definitely going in the right direction! BUT, a bit too much & fast!

Spent half of yesterday after midday Levemir went in fire fighting hypos as BS kept dropping! First sign of trouble was when I forgot to take a reading until 2 hours & 39 minutes after lunch BS 5.7. I thought crikey that’s low with active insulin on board so, ate a dark mint kit kat 2 finger bar before going off on a snooze. Woke up about 3 hours later, 5 hours & 50 minutes after NR, with the hypo racing heart, headache & stomach rumbling! Got up & tested BS 4.1. Poured myself a glass of coke & drank that while I reheated some shepherds pie made with turkey mince. Ate it & then, dithered about the Novorapid dose, knew the midday Levemir had to be dialled back but, still actively taking my BS down too fast until midnight so, I decided to err on the side of caution & only stabbed in 12 units. Then, I was still worried that maybe I shouldn’t have had any NR at all & ate another kit kat as well! Went back to bed thinking when the alarm wakes me I’ll test & see where I’m at & add a correction if needs be when midnight LR goes in: BS 9.9 & added 10 units NR; know from previous experience that at that time it takes 2 units per mmol I want to drop; that seems to be the WORST time to try to get higher BS down! 😱 Kept LR at 24 units as waking & after breakfast BS were fine with no problems: it’s the midday LR I need to reduce & will dial it back to 40 units today.🙄

I was thinking that things ARE that little bit easier & better yesterday morning & the insulin requirements going down seems to confirm it!🙂 Though it kept me on my toes & eating all those kit kats wouldn’t help my increased weight!😱

Here’s hoping BS will be a bit more stable today?🙄

A slightly later, for me, Good Morning to you all & stay warm on the inside with the Sunshine you carry with you internally as externally there isn’t much to be had!🙄😉
