Group 7-day waking average?

JMyrtle said:
7.7 which is my lowest ever ( usually about 8.5),
We went out for a Chinese meal for my sons birthday last night, I didn't have rice or noodles with bean sprouts instead but I did have the prawn crackers, duck pancakes and prawn toasts!
Don't really get this as last week after aonly a bowl of homemade vegetable soup for dinner with no bread my waking reading was over 9.
Sometimes my brain hurts!

It can take a while for waking readings to come down. I'm having problems with waking readings at the moment. Always used to be in the 5's but now in the 6's. No idea why.

OK, it may be possible that last nights bread & butter pudding hasn't helped :D, though I am getting higher readings regardless of what I eat the night before.
 
I didn't post this morning because I was fed up with BG doing stupid things during the night i.e. This time going much too high at midnight. But I've stopped sulking now :D and I was 8.5 when I got up.

I'm exactly the same Mark ~ not eating anything different ~ was always in the 5's but illness & antibiotics a few weeks ago might have something to do with my current 6's, who knows. Diabetes is so buddy challenging isn't it ~ can't win whatever we do!

Morning folks ~ went to bed on a 5.8 and awoke to a 6.2 ~ now I wonder how that happened?🙄

I've been working hard to bring down my 14day average by reducing the carbs I consume ~ it was 7.1 and can say its now 6.6 so getting there slowly. Not been able to exercise due to health reasons but hope to be able to don my fitbit fairly soon to record how many steps I walk ~ looking foreward to that. Stay well everyone and enjoy your weekend.

Enjoy whatever you do today.

Good morning everyone. 15.0 this morning and I feel awful :( :( Looks like I may have to re-think the amtriptylene and give serious thought whether to use a wheelchair when I want to go out for longer trips when I have to walk for more ten minutes. But I won't rush into decisions and I am working hard at the physio 🙂

Good morning AJ, sorry you are feeling bad, hope they day improves for you
 
Good morning Vince and thank you very much. Strange day today and one when I could really do without gastroparesis high sugars - 3 years today since my beautiful little Susie dog went to Rainbow Bridge and I miss her every single day. So this morning Mark and I will be going to one of Susie's favourite places. In complete contrast this afternoon we have tickets to see the touring version of Mamma Mia - I've already since it twice in London and loved it.

Good morning Bloden. Definitely a busy day :D I've already put two Susie memorials on Facebook with a few of her cheekiest smiling photos 🙂 Then physio to do and my Dad's morning phone call before going off for the Susie walk - fortunately plenty of seating.

I know who will be fast sleep once as soon as we get back from the show :D :D I hope you have a good day :D

Morning all 5.8 for me on this wild and windy morning. Down to 4.1 after feeding cats. I'd better get some breakfast down me.

Have a good day everyone.
