Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 5.8 here. Took a cautious one unit correction at bedtime to counteract an 11.9 ( blame the pudding). Should have brought me down to around 8. Woke at 2 am with the libre saying 2.5. 😱 (Probably wasn't that low, it always reads on the low side, but deffo hypoland.) Diabetes Fairy, who let you out?

The cat's ko'd on the computer table here 🙄 xx
 
03/06/18
05:55 BS 8.9. Tested in bed before bathroom visit. Went back to sleep.
08:04 BS 10.4. After bathroom visit. 6 units Novorapid & an oatcake as, I don’t want to eat yet! I had an instant moment of nausea when I put the oatcake in my mouth!

As soon as I woke, both times, I had a jolt of pain in my right temple that receded when up.

Now that I’m definitely up, in bed, my right temple is having intermittent jolts of pain!

Both my eyes were very bloodshot & red during the trip to the bathroom 05:55 & only the left eye is pink on this 2nd. trip to the bathroom!

I don’t really feel up to a trip to A&E, only place open on Sunday.

It takes me so long to compose & type, over 30 mins, that on checking in the mirror my left eye is back to its normal colour!

I’ll see how the rest of the day goes! I dread having to go to Londonderry, 50 miles away, to get eye pressure checked. The Causeway Hospital doesn’t have the equipment!

After my second cataract op, I went through similar more severe symptoms when my eye pressure built up & my eyes felt hard when closed & pressed! My eyes don’t feel hard now!

The problem is it gets too hot for 'phat' boy so he's still asleep...Churchill (the cat) has been out all night when it was cool...now he's fast asleep upstairs where it's cooler...I'm the only one up & about:D.

Lanny I have no idea whether you have the 111 service in N.I (or equivalent)...are you able to call an HCP for some advice?...might be worth considering that.
 
I’ve just made the call & registered my details & am waiting for the doctor to call me back! Actually looking in the mirror of the bathroom, more light, both my eyes are stil a very light pink! Seewhat the doctor says & if I have to go to Londonderry; I’ll drag myself there!

Hope you hear back from the doctor very soon.
 
Good morning.
Went to bed on 6.4 woke up to 6.3.
 
Just spoke to the doctor & it could be building eye pressure! I vaguely remember, while on the phone & told the doctor, that I’d injured my right eye this week. I’d just done my weekly changing of the bed & took the laundry basket out into the hall! I hit the wall corner with the basket & it rebouded & hit me in the right eye! It hurt me at the time but, then forgot about it!

I have to go to Londonderry to get my eye pressure checked!

Although that's some distance away Lanny...overall it's better to get that checked...fingers crossed it's nothing too serious...let us know how you fare...good luck (again).
 
3.6 for me. Pants.

Had a bit of a lie-in so possibly it was my basal boost that I have set from 6am onwards. Either that or I might have been low for much of the night :(
