Group 7-day waking average?

After breakfast reading is 11.2. Quite happy with that as I was expecting horrors of over 15.

Got back from the chemist just in time. It's blowing a gale & raining cats & dogs out there now!

Top of the morning to you all! Imagine a broad Irish accent & a little dancing leprechaun!

Glad to see you got home in time to miss the worst of the weather! 🙂

Also glad to see that your experimenting with pre-blousing went well! out of interest what do you have for breakfast? xx
 
Kaylz, It was slightly smaller but, the same as yesterday:-

2 slices kingsmill no crusts 50/50 toast plain (4 usually), 2 cups of tea (teabag each of Twinings everyday & Twinings honey camomile in the teapot) with 50ml of semi skimmed milk & 2tsp of natural honey Rowse.

I'm pretty new to eating breakfasts as I've only been eating it since March 2016. Working in the restaurant business for so long, I got used to eating late after midnight & going straight to bed. Not surprisingly, when I got up I had to, "get my stomach into gear" my way of putting it, before having lunch.

My hospital team suggested there would be better control of sugars if I ate breakfast. I started off slowly with 1 slice of toast & a cup of tea.
 
@Lanny do you carb count and adjust your insulin for the amount of carbs you eat?

I apologise as I have seen you post a few things recently but I sometimes forget what I've seen when I'm busy doing other things at the same time! haha

I've only eaten breakfast since November 2016 when I was diagnosed so I know what that's like! 🙂

No, never heard of it until I joined here. My hospital team 17 years ago & now, advise a diet based on starchy carbs & watch sugar & salt content. I'm learning.

Wow I cant believe they haven't told you about carb counting in all that time! My team had me onto it myself 1 month after my diagnosis!

Not only that, the guidelines for sugar were actually tighter 17 years ago than they are now: then less than 2g/100g is low sugar & more than 10g/100g is high sugar; now 5g/100g & 15g/100g respectively. Salt guidelines are about the same no more 0.5g of sodium/meal, a total of 1.5g/day.
 
I don't think they treat type 1's like that though; just the type 2's to be fair.
 
Good Morning All
Raining here now this morning.
Saw the first magnolia yesterday. They will last about 2 weeks unless the rain, which is due, destroys them. These small blue flowers are also starting to appear and soon they will carpet large open areas. No idea as to what their name is and everyone I ask has no idea either. Quick look at a Weeping Willow.

Codefree say 5.9
At 2.49 am
WC call went back to bed
Codefree say 6.2
At 4.00 am
Both readings taken in bed.
Have a successful day everyone.

Sleep is for the weak is my new mantra! Insomnia is a b***h at the min. Not lon left though. Doesn’t help my little boy is super unsettled too - daddy has been with him for the last 45mins :(
Anyway now is a good as time as any - my waking is 7.3 if we count it from now. Don’t plan to leave my bed until 7 tho so may try again then!

Hope everyone is having a lovely morning!
 
Grrr. Woke at 5. Couldn’t get back to sleep. Maybe too much laziness yesterday. 10.1 for me and feeling hungry. Had a wee babybel and a cuppa coffee. And will read in bed for a wee while.
Have a nice day all
