Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 7.0 here, taken after I was shot out of bed by the phone ringing. Turned out to be BT text delivery system with a message from Parcel Farce saying my Libre sensors will arrive today. ( they didn't appear yesterday as promised in their email). Must remember to update my details on my Abbot account with my mobile number to avoid that again! DPD always used to email.

Hope they turn up today, doesn't augur well for PF deliveries :(
 
Good morning everyone. Hope you all have a good day. I’ve no idea what it’s like outside as I haven’t opened curtains yet, I only opened my peepers a couple a minutes ago, I’d love to say it was because I was having a lovely lie in but I would be telling a whopper, it’s all due to

The cure 🙄 took a huge amount of carbs 😱 , I’m now waiting for the paracetamol to kick in before I can struggle to the kettle for a restorative shot of pure caffeine lol. My waking number is as in pic
 
Morning all, just tested a 17.1!! The only thing I can think is that my insulin has got too hot and hasn't worked? I'm at work now so not sure whether to try a correction dose with my current insulin or if I just need to go home and start another pen? Any advice welcome :(
 
Also... my Lantus has an expiry date of July 2018 I took that as I could use it up til the end of the month but could it be that this isn't working?

Sorry to hear this, I hope you don’t feel too rough. I can on,y say what I would do, I’d try a correction with current insulin and if that didn’t work I would go home to get a new pen.

Unless a an actual expiry date is given I assume it’s the end of the month, how long has your Lantus been out of the fridge
 
Thank you, the Lantus was a new pen yesterday but the one I was using before it also had the same expiry date. Feeling OK just a bit on the sleepy side, should have really tested when I woke up this morning I just wasn't really with it

Oops I forgot to mention , to do another test before correcting just increase you had something sweet on your finger or it was a faulty strip
 
Thanks @Ljc I did check on the other hand and got a 15.6 so definitely still high, I've done a correction dose so will see what happens next! I always find a quick drop means a guaranteed headache for me so going to be a long day regardless

I think it was Abbots fault, not PF, the status on the Parcel Force tracking yesterday suggested they'd had to query why they hadn't received it from Abbot when expected. I was always happy with DPD, we have a really good driver in this area, but I gather that's not the case everywhere.
 
I got my last delivery bang on time, no probs. I never use the website to order, by the way, I always phone.

To return to topic, good morning everyone, looks like a pleasant day ahead🙂

I woke with 3.2, which is a bit of a disappointment. I’ll be making an appointment with the DSN, I can’t be doing with this lack of hypo awareness. Gimme technology.😡

Meanwhile, two buttery crumpets and an Americano will have to do🙂
 
Morning all, I have a 5.4 today.

My numbers continue to be affected by the heat, as I've been mostly in the low to mid 5s for weeks, including during the day, with the occasional 4something and 6something, and a 7 (after oven chips 🙂) - I almost wish for an HbA1c to enshrine these numbers!

It's the only good thing about this damn weather, as I'm longing for rain to clear the air and get back to a normal British summer :(

You too, I keep pressing my nose to the window looking for black clouds.

Talking of looking out for things, my Libre sensors arrived, and within the original time frame communicated....notwithstanding that I had just received a second 'text' message putting it back by half an hour!

Ah! Do they give you a time slot then? One that is more reasonable than 'between 7am and 8pm'?

Yes, they are obv improving! I got a crack of dawn text (delivered to my land line, must amend my details on my Abbot account and add my mobile. Never needed it in the past, DPD always email) saying delivery between 10 and 11, then at 10.10 I got another saying now between 10.29 and 11.29, then it arrived at 10.50!
 
Morning all it was a 5.1 this am for me, have a good day all...!

Sadly, I can't receive a text because there is not enough space on Abbott's website for me to enter my phone number! (even without the leading zero) :( I guess I'll have to order by phone and they can work out how to get my number into their system 🙄 Does sound a lot better than PF's past 'tracking' though 🙂
 
We've just found our Lakeland parcel thoughtfully left in the recycling bin by Hermes...to be fair, they may have rung the doorbell but as we're both upstairs on the computers and have music on we may not have heard it. Just as well I checked my email - 'your parcel has been successfully delivered!'

They also sent me an email with a tracking number, so I could track it on their website.
