Group 7-day waking average?

eggyg said:
Morning all.7.1 today. After torrential rain almost all day yesterday and especially last night, it’s appears to be quite calm. Very autumnal though, the grass is definitely jewelled as my children sang in the Harvest Festival service. Granddaughter going home this afternoon, which coincidentally, is when she will probably get out of bed! Nothing exciting planned except maybe trying to get rid of the earworm I’ve just given myself! “ Autumn days when the grass is jewelled and the silk inside a chestnut shell”. Oh no! 😱
Have a great day and I hope your grass is jewelled!“ No I mustn’t forget, to say a great big thank you, I mustn’t forget.”😉

Noooooooo. Now its in my head
 
Good morning still in the 7`s, 7.6 time to increase Basal again.🙂
Sun is out at the moment but not for long, dark clouds coming off
of the moor.:(

Good luck @Gruers with the procedure.🙂

A bit naughty the price of your glasses @SueEK but that's Specsavers for you. 😱

Take care folks there will be a cure in ten years, stay safe.🙂
 
Thinking back to my Polish colleague, we talk about “the good old days” but of course that’s not always true. I shared an office with Ted and he smoked his pipe throughout the day.

In those days it was polite for smokers to ask, “Do you mind if I smoke?” and it was then polite to say, “No, not at all”. Thank goodness over time that has changed. For some years if anyone asked I’d reply, “Do you mind if I fart?” Now, thankfully, smoking is banned in enclosed spaces.
 
@freesia I'd tend to agree, my trends seem to be an increase in readings from breakfast to dinner and corrections not working as they should when my Tresiba needs a tweak although have you tried a fresh pen/cartridge first? xx

I've tweaked my breakfast bolus and thats right, my lunchtime bolus is ok although i go lower initially after (but not hypo) but by teatime its creeping up to mid 9s. Teatime bolus seems correct as well as i'm well in target at bedtime. It seems that its from about midnight onwards it rises and stays high until waking when it starts to drop again slowly. On waking the readings are usually higher than 7 though i have had a very occasional 5. Its frustrating as i'll sort this then when i go back to work i'll have to change it all again.

Yeah I know how you feel, I do love Tresiba but its not as flexible as I'd like so took much more planning of things like exercise etc, I'm on 16 units just before 10pm now xx

I take my 13u around 10.30pm. I did try upping it to 14 when it was really hot a couple of weeks ago, one night/day was ok, the next i had an overnight hypo. It frightened me and i dropped it back to 13. I suppose i should have left it longer to see the affect. Oh well, might try upping to 14 this week and see what happens x
 
And a 5.7 this morning for me
 
10:35 BS 9.6 :confused: No idea why? It’s late ish but, been up later before? Ah well, correction added & will have brunch by the the time I’ve cooked & have meds a bit earlier to get the Laxido in about 90 minutes after eating.🙄

I woke up to bright sunshine peeping in through a gap in my curtains & it’s really nice to see it after all the wind & rain!😛:D😎 I treated myself to a few new dresses & bolero’s from QVC this weekend & 3 Hermes parcels are expected anytime from now until 18:00 today! SO looking forward to it: been over a year since I last bought any new clothes!😛:D😱 Tesco shopping 12:00 to 13:00 as well!🙄 After that I’ll read in the sunshine in the conservatory!😎

A late Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day full of Sunshine Inside & outside!😉

No I go to Boots, I wouldn’t touch specsavers with a barge pole. Apparently I do have an unusual prescription so they have always been expensive, just more ss since I’ve needed varifocals

Yes. Can't do half units with them if i needed to. For the second day running my breakfast level has shot up to 15 within 2 hours. Finger pricks are showing up to 3 less. Got 4 days left on the sensor but wondering if its playing up x

Ah right okies, have you considered asking for a switch to cartridges and an Echo pen? I asked my consultant last year via email and he had the DSN sort it out that day, my consultant really is great though, 3mmol would be its 20% margin for a 15 but keep an eye on it, if my sensors end up faulty its usually day 8! lol xx

Will definitely be keeping an eye on it. I haven't got a consultant but have rang and left a message for my DSN. When i spoke to her about 4 weeks ago (she agreed for me to keep the libre) she said that i would have another appointment then maybe she would discharge me back to GP care. I hope not. She did that last year as my HBa1C went to 6.2 (not sure what that is mmol) but within 3 months i was back at the GP asking to be re referred. I just think having someone on the end of a phone if there is a problem is helpful even if you don't have regular appointments. Not sure what i would do without this forum as well x
 
Late again, been busy! Woke to a 7.3, no idea why. Breakfast, stab, n shower. Then went out and did some weeding whilst Small Madeline cut the grass for me, didn’t realise the time and forgot lunch. Was expecting to be low going 2 hours over but was 8.6. Obviously wasn’t a duff pen - I swapped to a new one last night incase there was an issue causing the erraticness.

So don't you get annual appointments with a consultant? Sorry I know a lot are discharged back to GP in England but its never even been suggested to me to leave the consultant and DSN, I haven't had contact with a DSN since last year as not needed them and last time I saw the consultant was January although shouldn't have as was only supposed to be a phone call check but they messed up lol xx

Never been referred to a consultant, only DSN. I have an annual check up at the GP surgery once a year as well as seeing the DSN but if she discharges me again, i'll only be seen once a year at the surgery. Last time she discharged me she said i could possibly ring her if there was a problem but theoretically she couldn't help me as i would no longer be a patient. She could maybe answer a question but that was all. I had my annual check at the surgery in February and the nurse told me off for putting on weight. Bearing in mind when i was finally diagnosed with type 1 i'd lost almost 5 stone and was looking very unhealthy. I knew i'd put weight back on over the year but felt ok. I didn't think going up to size 12 was bad (then lockdown happened and i was stopped from working so its gone up a bit more). When i have been in the surgery and asked a question from the nurse i've been told to check with the DSN but if she discharges me its going to be hard.
