Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

7.6 for me, no idea why but its better than waking hypo like yesterday

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx
 
Morning all, 5 2 here! Yay, I’m beginning to like this Libre sensor. This one has taken much longer to settle down than usual (started Saturday). I put it higher up my arm than usual, to avoid where I’d had previous ones, and it’s felt slightly sore, it also seemed particularly prone to night time compression, but last night it was fine, and gave me the steady line I was expecting.

:D Congratulations on your Libre House Special! 😛😎😉
 
Went to bed on an 8.2, woke up just after midnight with a pounding head. Bloods 15.8!!!!! Correction dose of 2u bought it back to 6.6 when i woke. Phew!!! Hope its not going to be one of those up and down days . Have a good day everyone, whatever you are doing x
 
Morning folks from Achy Towers. A 6.9 from me after yesterday’s mahoosive trek. Another Wainwright ticked off, that’s 205 now.....to go! 😛 Spent most of the 10 hours walk fending off hypos. Had fish and chips at 8pm in Keswick and I was down to 4 so no bolus until bedtime. Was a tad worried taking it that time of night but I survived and happy with the result. Today I will mostly be hobbling! Have a great day and @Robin well done in the elusive HS. 🙂
Attatched proof of my feat yesterday and for any Wainwright nerds out there we climbed High Raise ( Centrals Fells, there’s two) 2500 ft! I didn’t know this at the time, Mr Eggy is the walk organiser, next time I need to check!

6.3 for me this morning before my early morning exercise (walk). 🙂
My Alexa diary informs me it's bin day today! How exciting. :D

Stay safe and well and don't forget to put that bin out if it's your day.

Morning all it’s a 7.0 here

Nice HS work @Robin, nice Wainwright trekking @eggyg🙂

Rainy here but need to go out for a walk, I’ll find my most grippy trainer and avoid all manhole covers, drains and other falling over hazards.😱

Hope you have a good day.
 
The bad bit: 2.5 this morning!!
The good bit: infection must be abating and time to reduce Basal rate

Congratulations @Robin on HS. I still put my Libre sensor in a day before I need it to be activated. Is that worth trying? OH described my arm as a good Venn Diagram when he put this one in. Paper patches from earlier sensors exposed to the sun in the last few weeks.

Have a good day all.

Ha! yes, I can tell where my previous ones were by the suntan-free circles! I always used to put my sensor on 24 hours before applying, until the last software update when they said they’d improved the start up algorithm, and it did seem to be Ok from the start after that, until this one. I think the moral of the story is, if it feels uncomfortable after insertion, don’t start it until it’s settled down.
 
A 3.2 this morning, makes a change from yesterday, but again, no idea why. Must be the changeable weather or that stupid fairy. Art lesson today, a vast improvement on maths, then biology. Have a wondrous day all

@Ditto Where did you find The Food Hospital? I’ve looked on All4 and can’t see it.

In case @Ditto doesn't check in for a while, it's on Together, which is Channel 88 on Freeview.
 
Good day not too well for a few days hence the AWOL, 13.2 @ 07:00 hrs 5.6 after NR adjustment.🙂

Congratulations on HS @Robin.🙂

Great walk @eggyg & Mr @eggygI suppose I could do that!!!! if they have a lift.o_O:D

Take care stay safe folks.🙂
 
Well, I just got a call from my GP practice’s nurse & my Hba1c was taken yesterday & results are back! I’m shocked that it went down from end of January at 79 to 62: 1 lower than they were all last year when I wasn’t so ill! 😱🙂 BUT, on horrendously more insulin: I’ve fought SO hard tokeep them from going too high & not always succeeding; now it’s nice to hear that it’s paid off!:D

BUT, nurse was VERY concerned with my huge jumps of insulin doses up & down & as she’s not confident in how to advise me, has referred me to new specialist nurses at the Causeway Hospital: I’ve tried calling before & my DSN just had a recorded message to say go online, website given, as the hospital staff were inundated due to CV! I had to do this on my own for so long & only you lot on here helped now & last year in how to adjust doses myself! Thanks SO much to all of you for giving me that support!😛:D
 
Hang in there Ted! 🙂

There were days the struggle got to me & I was very down but, I fought on & knowing you guys are always there to read my posts helped a LOT! I admit some of my emoji’s were a bit of a false front but, the extra bit of effort to post them, sometimes, still helped: I’ve said before, when my sister first passed away, that the very effort of pretending to smile can help until I DO actually feel like doing it for real again!🙄
