Group 7-day waking average?

Carnivaldan said:
First time reporting....5.6 this morning. Usually between 6 & 8. Why does it vary so? (I usually wake very early - around 4am and have a cup or two of builder's tea)

Welcome to the forum!
Indeed why does it vary...?
You may see references to the Diabetes Faries here or DF and they can visit at any time, for any reason and wreak havoc!
However, that aside, I find this lovely bunch of folk very encouraging and helpful as there are some here who have had this condition for some time and have a wealth of knowledge to share if asked?
No question is too silly...
When you are ready, tell us a bit about yourself, we all have different stories and each one unique.

And a 5.1 today pour moi.

I gave in yesterday and turned the heating on.

Breaking myself in gently with my return to work... half day tomorrow, full day Thursday, half Friday. All in a chair is previously thought of as comfortable but now realise isn’t really up for working from home in so once I’ve been paid I’ll need to get a better chair.

Oh and a whole kilo up on weight which is disappointing but hopefully just a blip. Next Monday I’m off to the GP to have blood drawn for HbA1C and a raft of other things. Week after I’ll get those results and they’ll check weight and BP at the same time. Should be an improvement in all metrics I’d hope.
 
Well, I bottled out of not using any Levemir last night but cut it down from 3.5 to just 1 unit and had a large chunk of cheese and a stem ginger shortbread biscuit (10g) to bring my levels up to mid 6s before bed.

Woke up at 5,48am with Libre showing 3.2 (Finger prick was 4.2 though) but decided to get up and start my day rather than go back to sleep.
Will definitely not use any evening Levemir tonight but still needing 16 during the day and had to use 2 units of NR yesterday afternoon despite eating very low carb meal and being very active.
Feeling a lot fitter already and mentally more positive and I'm pretty sure I am losing weight but not been on the scales as batteries are dead and need recharging.
Not difficult to maintain this level of activity when the sky is blue and sun shining like today but wet, windy, muddy weather is going to be a challenge!
 
🙄The DF is back with me again. On Friday my level was 8.7 when i ate my usual breakfast. I had an extra unit of Apidra to usual but level went up to 14.8. Yesterday, started the day at 8.3, had an extra unit as per Friday but this time went hypo!!. Today, slightly lower at breakfast 7.4, had 2u instead of 3u as previously, levels went to 13!! Unpredictable or what
 
5.1 this morning.

Been in to school again and finished my display boards - well guided the furloughed husband to do so!!! Top 20 scientists and inventors ???? I’ve put 19 of mine favourite up and I’m asking the kids to plead the case for number 20. Any takers on here to have a go???

Also had phone consultation with consultant. Well chauffeured HbA1c down to 50 I’m pleased with my little self.

Hope Bruce got on ok @Kaylz and your Dads doing ok.

Hope you had a good day @freesia

Does Mary Anning count? I collect fossils, and she’s a hero of mine. To actually be able to go fossil hunting is a bit of a dream for me.

Got a Marie Curie!

Staff in Thursday and Friday and children in in year groups Monday onwards. It’s secondary school and they defiantly take up more space and need hygiene lessons! Not to mention the need to tell them not to bump into each other on purpose on a normal day! I’m sure it’ll be all fine!
I about finished my room today with hubby’s help .....and got rid of loads of rubbish ! Enjoy the relative peace tomorrow. My sister teaches primary - never could I do it !

I have a Dad like that too at times.... more often than not really. Frustrating !
 
Morning all,
A 5.5 for me today.
A bit of shed painting yesterday which turned out well as the weather was lovely here.
Hoping for the same today to get a second coat before picking up grandson from nursery with the new 'rules' about collections!
