Group 7-day waking average?

Maybe have a word with your DSN Kaylz. Could be an underlying infection (UTI?) as Northerner says or even stress related as you’re not eating any differently. Still within decent parameters though so don’t panic.
Sorry hun didn't get a notification about this so only just noticed it, na I've had UTI's and the likes before and there's defo nothing like that wrong with me, just getting to me that's all xx

Well stress pushes mine up so who knows?

I don't feel stressed at the moment though but could be I suppose xx

That’s strange Kaylz because you’ve certainly seemed rather down and fed up over the last week or so.
However, it’s not my place to speculate. Best to speak to your DSN
 
After a fitful nights sleep, well 5hrs due to the heat I woke to a 5.0 m.mol/l at 3am, so not too bad..
 
03:54 BS 5.7. Not really waking as I didn’t sleep last night but, rested as much as I could!

Conked out after lunch yesterday & woke after 22:00.

Just cooking breakfast so, mustn’t get distracted & get it burnt!

Watched the BBC documentary, om iPlayer, just before testing Celebrities on the NHS Frontline! I think that Ann Widdecombe sumed it up with the NHS having to pick up all the inadequacies of society & not being able to anymore!

I’m having my usual breakfast dose & will keep a close eye! 5.7 at this time is low but, no active insulin & I haven’t slept so, think I’ll be ok? Haven slept, woken up & eaten at this time has been the problem in the past! But, still worth keeping a close eye on!

Breakfast beckons, Good morning everyone! Have a great Friday as a precursor to a great weekend! 🙂

Wow, yesterday woke up at a 2.6, today at 13.9 😱
Such is the madness of my body! @Kaylz your welcome to this 😎 can we swap please!
Pump Consultant is putting me forward, absolutely believes it will help me 🙂

Ooh, dear! Bad, bad, DF for mucking you about! 😡

Good morning 🙂 5.9 for me today.

Getting into the 5’s again! Your asthma before you started the inhalers might have affected you with tht higher, than usual for you, BS. Now, you’re on the inhaler & you can run again, hope it drops back down again for you! 🙂
 
Feel like I'm getting somewhere now, being listened to and acknowledged, I'm so relieved 🙂
Let's hope it brings you some stability and improved quality of life 🙂 I think I've only ever encountered about 3 people here who've handed their pumps back, the rest would fight tooth and claw to keep them once they've got over the initial hurdles! Have you got a copy of 'Pumping Insulin'? It's always been highly recommended here 🙂
 
I'm aware that it will be like starting all over again, my Consultant thinks I should be ok as I'm still a relative newbie to it all and (hopefully!) adjust and have him, my DSN and a dietician for support. I will also have you lot to help and guide me 🙂
 
05:56 BS 8.0. 1.5 hours after breakfast! Phew! Seems to be ok! I didn’t quite dare to prebolus earlier asI’ve never been this low in the morning before & injected when I was eating! I’m still learning & chalking up new info on how things affect me! 🙄
 
Good Morning All.

Codefree say 6.2
At 6.31 am
Taken when up.

.Take care everyone and have a great day.

I've now got to attend a 'pre pump' course then another pump course, which I think will happen when I'm on my nights when working, can I have that night off without owing it back to my employer?
