Group 7-day waking average?

06:03 BS 8.6. Yay! It’s coming down! Oh how fickle fortunes can be! I’m actually cheering for that figure this morning when a few days ago, that seems distant now, I’d be poohing it!😱🙄

The increased basal seems to do it thing yesterday & kept my BS steady overnight as I went to bed on 8.3. I only needed 2 doses of paracetamol yesterday as they lasted me 7/8 hours & managed to sleep WITHOUT taking a third dose despite it being time for one & a little bit of heat!

Good morning everybody & have a wonderful day!🙂

I need to go out today so, taxis there & back, to pick up my prescription for test strips & new meters! My health centre rang me to say my test strips are no longer available & they are giving me 2 new meters & different test strips instead!:(

I’ve already had my 10 units Novorapid so, had better stop gabbing & cook breakfast! Catch you all later, friends!😉
 
Good morning 4.8 and no chest pain today so far so good
 
Morning all 6.5/6.3 for me.

Woke up in a blind panic at 5 thinking I'd just had a plate of macaroni cheese and couldn't work out how much insulin to take for it.

This weather can't be right. Wimbledon and the great Yorkshire Show, both normally drought busters.

Have a good day everyone.

That was a diabetic nightmare!:D:D:D
 
Morning all, 5.4 here, it's amazing what a fresh tube of Levemir will do. It suddenly occurred to me that the one I was using was my spare that I took on holiday, and it suffered various periods of abuse in a hot car boot, and nearly froze in an overzealous hotel fridge.

Thanks, everybody!😛 The meal was lush AND we got to play “spot the hidden the carb” before I jabbed AND the waiters were all young and handsome...I must’ve missed the postie with my cure tho (10 years!), maybe he’ll have it for me today, LOL.🙄

Morning all.🙂 5.5 here.:D

Don't hold your breath - I think Yodel must be delivering mine, as I've been waiting since the end of May! 😱 😉

Great waking number after a night of celebratory cuisine! 🙂

p.s. I've been led down the cure path before, when my exemption card was due to expire...

My diabetes is due to expire,
I’ve got about three years remaining,
For my friend got a letter that implied she’d get better,
And we all found it most entertaining!

Bureaucracy dictates that our diabetic fates
Lie in answering just one simple question,
‘Since last you applied, please confirm or deny
Can your pancreas cope with glucose ingestion?’

Could it be, all along, that the doctors are wrong,
And diabetes is not a lifetime affliction?
Tick the right box – you’re cured, that’s one diabetic fewer,
And you won’t need those horrid prescriptions!

It’s a ‘no’ then from me – I am diabetes-free,
And I’m off to the pub for some drinking!
And I’ll eat what I like with no fear of a spike!
Dr Banting, what on earth were you thinking?

😱 :D

It'll be with the delivery service that my pump supplies come with, they send an email saying delivery time 'By end of day' then they send an update saying 'By End of Day'.o_O Glad you had a lovely 'spot the hidden carbs' meal and lovely waiters too! 🙂
 
Just got a letter to book Physio this morning! Rang them & the next appointment available is 15/08/18! Ahhh! That’s a long wait! Grr!😡

I’m trying not to get upset! My paracetamol needs seem to be calming down & hopefully the heat in my neck will settle! The heat having receded a bit, I’ve noticed an ache in my right shoulder which could have been compensating for my neck!

I injured my left shoulder before, a few years ago, which intially impacted on my neck, because of compensating, & I still remember the daily Physio neck exercises & the shoulder exercises! The weekly app. was for stretches by the physiotherapist I can’t do myself! I will wait until every trace of heat is gone before I do anything! I hope my muscles don’t get too stiff by the time the Physio app. comes around!

Sorry you've got such a long wait @Lanny :( I hope the wait is worth it when it comes around! 🙂
 
Thanks, @Northerner🙂

To be fair, when I injured my left shoulder I had to wait 9 months for physio so, this is a relatively fast app! The physiotherapist shows you the exercises you need to do everyday & there are weekly app. for stretches you can’t do yourself! I know the exercises & can start on them once the heat in my neck is completely gone!
 
6.8 this morning, but had a bad day food wise yesterday, had a chocolate croissant and an eclair filled with some sort of strawberry cream. I have been slipping from the wagon over the last week or so, yesterday I fell off completely and didn't even try to get on the next one passing. Today I have jumped on the first wagon of the day, just need to focus to stay onboard it now.
