Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone. Like Northie, we had quite enough of that rain stuff yesterday, so the relief of a beautiful sunny day is overwhelming. I may go out out for a race up to the shop today on my shiny new mobility scooter. Trouble is, I have to walk all the way to the scooter garage in the flats because my trundling wheelchair has gone on strike with punctures on both driving wheels.

Sometimes you just can’t win.:(

Which reminds me, today’s waking BG was 5.2, and before you all start the HS routine, that was with an upward sloping arrow. The previous three hours had been below normal range (not dramatically, just about 3 ish) and this was a glimpse of the liver doing its thing.:confused:

That may be happening to lots of folk, those little glimpses can cover up a multitude of worries.

I’m not that bothered, mind, in the real world I’m just waiting for Millercare (an excellent Nortwestern disability care company) to come on Monday to fix the wheelchair, then I’m all connected. Diabetes is the least of my concerns. (is that heresy?) 🙂
 
Red Raw - 6.4. Red raw, reminds me cos outside all day....Scorchio. Get some sun people, but put some sunscreen on and don't lobsterize.

Good advice! Factor 50 for me these days, after 2 skin cancers (BCC) over the past few years 😱 Incidentally, both had the appearance of blemishes left after insect bites that never faded, so check your skin as well! 🙂 I saw some dreadful examples of red raw at the Great Yorkshire Show, including one poor young woman who was entirely crimson, but only down one side - clearly she had been watching something for an hour or two with the Sun on that side, looked nasty! 😱
 
Good morning afrom Sunny E Kent. I haven’t been outside to top up the birdies water yet so have no idea if it’s chilly or not.
I hope you all have a good Sunday.
After a restless night , unpleasant dreams and seem to be running a temperature I woke to 6.7, had a nice mug of coffee, went back to bed and this happened.
Am delighted with Libre result though 🙂

Woke up at a much more reasonable hour to find that DP had paid a visit

At least you know you were reasonably flat-as-a-fish overnight 🙂 It was the first thing that struck me the morning after I awoke to my first sensor, that climb as you wake! 😱 🙂

Hope you have a good day and a better night's sleep tonight 🙂
 
Good morning. 7.6 for me. Best for a while
 
I’m with Flower. Dosing and timing of evening Levemir still not quite right. Woke with a 3.9 , after a slow overnight decline.

Never mind, I may get it spot on tonight. Don’t want to be in a dishevelled state for the haircut tomorrow.

Mind you, that’s why I want a haircut🙂

Good morning 🙂 3.6 today after a hypo kind of night. I'll crack this control thing soon, I just know I will! 😉

Sorry about your hypo night Flower, hope things improve soon. If you think you can do it, you will do it x

Forgot to post this earlier! 12:00 BS 10.0. Long lie in today! Went to bed on 6.3. Had my first paracetamol free day yesterday! Had to up the insulin a little bit, had some pain. & heat at times AND managed to keep all my readings in the green, within target ranges, all day!🙂

I started today out of range but, I got up late so, I’m reasonably happy with that!🙂

I got 2 letters yesterday. The first telling me that my diabetic screening on 26/06/18 has shown background diabetic retinopathy that doesn’t need any action!😉 My BS has been high for most of this year after my hospital stay so, not really surprising but, still not nice to hear: adds extra incentive to keep my BS under control!🙄

The second is an appointment for an xray of my spine that my GP arranged for 24/07/18. I WAS going to do Physio exercises once the heat & pain calms down to stop my muscles from getting too stiff before my Physio appointment. But, I’ll wait for the xray in case there’s any damage!:(

My after breakfast reading at 13:33 was back in range at 8.5, though & I hope the other readings for today will remain in range too!🙂

Hope you all have a lazy, easy Sunday, I am!🙂 I’m watching episodes of the remade Battlestar Galactica on DVD!😎
