Group 7-day waking average?

Afternoon all, a nice 5.5 today - I'm trying to drink more water to lower waking numbers but I keep forgetting o_O, but today's was good :)

I'm glad to have suggested to drink more water. I drink a tumbler of warm boiled water first thing in the morning and last thing at night, sometines with a slice of lemon in it. I also drink between 750-1000mls during each day. It all works for me. I always carry a bottle of water with me when I go out anywhere. NB. Make sure there's a loo nearby where ever you go!! :rolleyes: and I place a bottle or glass of water in each room in my home to save me running to the kitchen when I'm thirsty - and fitting a duvet cover on my duvet is Thirsty work for me!!

Not another sleepless night Hazel :eek:you must be absolutely exhausted you poor soul. Its no laughing matter tho is it? Have you tried running round the block a couple of times before you should retire for the night? ....(Apologies if that is something you are unable to do) Time to speak with your GP? Well done on you number this morning x

Morning everyone i was 11.0 and thats good for me still working on it, im starving! Loll

Hi. I'm only just catching up on posts, sorry, been a bit tied up today!! You don't have to starve Ingressus. There's lots of food out there that suits your individual taste & diabetes, you just need to find the right food for yourself & know which shops sell it. Browse the shelves in supermarkets, take time to read the labels to see if a product has low high or carb or content, low is best, don't buy if it's high carb.

Asda & Lidl sell Bergen Soya & Linseed bread which is popular with a lot of us here which is 11g carb per slice. nice combinstion with peanut butter and/or toasted + more. I believe Aldi sell protein rolls.

Chicken and Oily fish are good for you. Grilled sausages & lean bacon. Eggs boiled, poached, scrambled and some folk on here fry eggs in butter. I don't. I prefer rapeseed oil as a personal preference. And I don't eat cereal because of the wheat content.

Take a look at the Recipe thread on here for more ideas.

Diabetes.co.uk are offering 23 FREE cookbooks including the FREE seasonal Cookbook. There should be some exciting meals there, I haven't checked it out yet but I will.

If you're aiming to lose weight then why not join the thread: Group Weight Loss Challenge?

These are just a few tips to help you with your Diabetes journey Ingressus but hopefully other folk on here will no doubt make some contributions of their own too.

I hope you achieve lowering your bgl soon, good luck & take care.

Morning Hazel, hope you managed to get some shut-eye last night. I think I've come out in sympathy with you - no sleep for me last night!
Fantastic number again, well done you. Hope all goes well with your visit to your GP. x

Early WL...but wouldn't say bright...wait until I've had a second coffee...may perk up a touch then.
 
Morning peeps! Still no testing strips so I'll hazard a guess - 6.1. Hope you all achieve good numbers this morning :D
 
Morning all! Woke up for a wee at 4.50am & couldn't get back to sleep. And I don't even work on a Friday, which makes it more annoying.:( A 6.0 from me.
