Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 6.4 for me today after a frustrating night - fell asleep straightaway then woke after a couple of hours, couldn't get to sleep again until around 4am and then feeling very tired on rising! 🙄

Diabetes review today, wish me luck 🙂

Good luck on your appointment today @Greyhound Gal 🙂

Glad to hear you are feeling better @Carolg, but do take it steady! 🙂

@Stitch147 - so frustrating for you! Might it be worth trying another Libre sensor or two? Do you know if it's a steady rise overnight or a whacking great liver dump? Hope things improve as we head towards longer and brighter days {{{HUGS}}}

Terrible when we have nights like that
Good luck with the review @Northerner
Keep us posted

Morning all and a 5.3 for me today.
Got a call from the hospital yesterday afternoon saying they had had a cancellation for a 10:45am appt with the diabetes consultant this morning, and did I want it? As I've only seen him twice since diagnosis and the last time was Sept 2016 oddly enough I said YES PLEASE!🙂

Good luck @Greyhound Gal
Sure everything will be positive
 
Morning all.

7.3 here today - apparently I’ve started dreaming about diabetes now which is weird, especially as I saw my DSN and she told me my hba1c was 28 and they were really happy and I should have pizza to celebrate - I’ve clearly lost the plot!

@Northerner hope your review is more normal! Good luck today x
 
I'm sure it'll be fine thanks @Vince_UK . The first time I met him I thought he was an arrogant *^#**. The second time I saw him, I had joined this forum, learnt loads and went in asking about MDI and carb counting. When he saw that Iwanted to take control and responsibility he changed completely and is actually quite a nice chap🙂.
The only thing that concerns me is that he has said before that if I got below 48 he would be referring me back solely into GP care which worries me as they have no diabetes knowledge, so I will challenge that if he tries it!
 
Good morning my lovely lot 🙂
c**p night sleep, pulled a muscle in my ankle the other day and the pain has been twinging and niggling ever since, easy enough to deal with but went to bed last night and it started twitching, not so easy to ignore! LOL
@Greyhound Gal and @Northerner good luck with the appointments today 🙂
Anyways it was a 5.0 for me today
Hope you all have a nice day! :D x

Morning all, another frustration 10.3 for me today. Getting annoyed with higher readings again. But it pointless going to the dr's as I just get fobbed off as better readings during the day means that my HbA1c is at an acceptable level. Its just frustrating as whatever I seem to try doesn't make a difference. :(

Good luck with your appointments Greyhound Gal and Northerner 🙂

Good Morning

All have a good time today.

Back on the Accu-Chek, have a tub of strips which I am not going to waste at the price they are. The Codefree ones I will take to Shanghai with me.

Accu-Chek say 5.2
At 6.55 am

Stay warm.

I have that too, high-ish mornings but decent HbA1c. There not interested. They have so many people who are type two with bloods running in 50s & 60s (practice nurses, not D.) They consider a complainer (Don't complain, most people have...)
I'm not worthy of their opinion. (Sarcasm, I know my own worth!)

I've certainly heard that view expressed here before - many GPs and practice nurses are so accustomed to seeing people with poor control, they have lower expectations generally of what people can achieve, so think anything better than that expectation must be nothing to worry about 🙄

My husband will be glad to know that! He's used the codefree, and always runs higher than I do. 🙂

I am glad you said that also as I usually always accept the Accu-Chek one lol because it is lower.
I have tested at the same time on both meters off the same blood drop within 1 second and get different results.
I think the Accu-Chek is a little more sophisticated in technology but the Codefree does its job also. It is also more expensive as are the strips.
 
Morning all! It's a more acceptable 6.1 for me today. @Vince_UK, I find most people on here say the Codefree read higher than other meters, but for me it was the other way round. I had am Accu-Chek & another one that both read higher than the Codefree.:confused:

Good luck to everyone who has appts yoday.
@Stitch147 it must be so frustrating getting these high figures. Your BG's were coming down lovely. How annoying. Hope you find out what's going on.
