Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 10.2 (on finger) 9.7 (on libre). Libre showing fairly steady through the night with no significant dips. I have my work christmas lunch today. We are going to Jimmy's World Buffet so I should be ok food wise. We went there last year and I had turkey and loads of veg. Might even have a small dessert this year.

Looks like things are working much better now Stitch 🙂 It will be interesting to review the data when you have a couple of weeks worth of data to look at - worth keeping a food diary as well, with timings, so you can relate the readings with meals and their effects 🙂

4.3 here after a 2am 2.6 😱 Got myself in a right muddle yesterday evening. Firstly put my Novorapid into my thigh in a moment of absent mindedness. Shot up to 14.1. Assumed I'd underbolused for the mince pies (like you, @Bubbsie I was making some and couldn't resist,) Did a correction dose and obv overdid it. I think the Bolus absorbed more slowly from my leg, so was still hanging around at 2am. Both it and the correction dose, (which I did as normal in my tum) should have been long gone by then.
Have a good weekend, Mark!

Ooh dear Robin...I'm clearly a bad influence...must say I did enjoy them!!...clearly distracted by those mince pies.
 
A 6.6 for me this morning. I think Piddle & Cramp have been around again through the night and pinched my 5's! :(
 
A late good morning 🙂 after a night shift. Woke at 7.0 today.
 
Woke with a 10.1 this morning.
Had breakfast
Went to work at 07:20
felt absolute pants around 09:45
Tested
11.8
Continued to feel rubbish
Got the shakes, sweats, tingly top lip and serious hunger pangs
Gave in to them and ate a sausage roll at 10:30 (guzzled it like a mad thing in fact)
Started to feel better by 11:00
Tested before lunch at 12:30
8.1
Go figure
 
Hi, I was 7.0 when I got up (at noon 🙄 ) but that's six days off the Metformin. So I went in to the GP to tell her I'd been in hospital and she put me on sitaglipton. She was going to give me a glucometer, but I already had one, so she was ok with that. I hope the side effects will be small or none. I am to return in six weeks for a blood test.

@SadhbhFiadh ,I hope she authorised enough test strips for your meter.
And I hope the new meds suit you well.

Thanks. Me too. Test strips; she offered but I would need to get their kit. Since we just got this one and a few hundred strips and lances, I said I would leave it for now. They aren't expensive and for the time being there is so much change I would just stick with this kit for now. Maybe it's my version of a security blanket! 🙂
