Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Reduced bolus last night and woke to a 4.7. I suppose there is a logical reason but it escapes me at the moment.
Have a good Sunday everyone and whatever your symptoms are I hope they ease.
 
No suggestions other than the ones already said, I find gentle stretching helps and but we are all different. Back pain is horrible and hope you feel better soon.
Thank you New-Journey.
 
Morning all, its a tad chilly this morning. Its an 8.4 for me today. Not planning on doing much today, gonna stay in where its warmer.
 
Morning all.Been awake an hour or so but only just posting. It was a 5.7 libre / 6.7 finger on waking.
 
Good morning guys 🙂
A higher than normal 7.3 for me :( didn't take the 3 units my meter suggested with breakfast though as don't want to possibly be sitting in the 4's, have I done the wrong thing? I'm still so unsure about everything :(
Might be that due to upping the carbs my basal needs upped a bit too but will give it a few days and see how things go and decide what to do, not much of a jump btw as I went to bed on 6.9
VERY cold here this morning and set to get worse throughout the day but apparently its supposed to be quite warm in comparison on Tuesday
Anyways have a lovely day folks and if you are heading out wrap up warm my lovelies! :D xx
 
Good morning a very frosty morning here, 7.6 for me today not surprised had a take away last night couldn't be bothered to cook. Day out in Norwich for some last Xmas bits to busy for me o_O but I think I'm done now so that's a plus lol. Have a good day everyone.
 
A 6.4 for me despite a carby day yesterday. Pukka steak pie! 😱

Best wishes to all those who want to consign the D to Room 101 today!😡

It’s the long term anniversary of my lovely dad’s death today. 63 is far too young to go and he loved Christmas. The only good thing about my mum’s dementia is she thinks he’s still at home 😳
 
Hugs for you Amigo about your Dad x

TUT! TUT! TUT! Amigo
Have been thinking about those myself lol and checked the carb levels on Morrisons website lastweek. TO HIGH but actually lower than most other pies so I put them on my "possibilities" list lol.
 
Got a butchers chicken pie for tea, but family sharing, more veggies than pie for me.
Saying hello to everyone, and hoping pains and problems are abating, and yer diabetes fairy can f away( I think the f was for fly off? ) lol

Were you ok after breakfast? I don't think eating a few more carbs should affect our basal, basal is the background insulin and nothing to do with what we eat. Could be you are coming down with something, could be random or just because the DF feels like it! As you say wait a few days and see what happens. You must be now on a tiny amount of basal anyway? I hope your day is going well.
Ps if you ever get stuck in the 4's maybe you could just eat some of you delicious chocolate! Just a naughty thought, well it is Christmas soon. :D😉

Yeah I went up to 7.8 2 hours post but was 6.5 by lunch which I wasn't expecting, I don't think I'm coming down with anything and the whole 2 weeks my chest was bothering me it didn't effect e, thankfully that's much better now and don't seem to be in pain with it anymore, Paul said it may change if I increased my carbs due to possibly putting a bit of weight on etc so I will see what happens and decide what needs to be done, I see him Tuesday afternoon anyway xx
 
Evening all. 7.2 @ 5.58am not bad after those prunes. 🙂
 
Good Morning/Night/Morning Everyone.
Hope everyone slept well and is refreshed and raring to go.

Accu-Chek say 5.2
At 5.38 am

Good day to all.

It is so easy to forget that this is good that we're alive.
We should be enjoying this gift of being alive.
