Group 7-day waking average?

Hi folks🙂

Very late reporting. Woke with 4.8, though this after a correction of a night time hypo. I’ve worked out what caused that, so no worries. Did sleep through till 10.30, then managed to get out of bed in time for the hairdresser to arrive- not for haircuts, but for waxing and colouring Mrs B’s eyebrows. The hairdresser can’t work without a cappuccino. It was a great job, but cost a mighty £15.:confused: Good job we don’t live in the real world, though it does show what these treatments cost when there are no property overheads.

And free cappuccinos, of course.:D

Have a good day everyone🙂

Absolute genius!:D I’ll think of as I have my app. with the physiotherapist romorrow!😎
 
Thanks Lanny, if you`re ever in the area I`ll show which hovel I belong to. Grub and beer are on me o_O maybe🙂.
 
4.9 this morning - first <5 reading not powered by alcohol, I think.

Only relevant things I've changed recently that I can think of are eating lots more fibre & partly as a result, quite a lot more carbs. Benefits seem to flow through much the same from generally great high-fibre quinoa & more dubious high-fibre All-Bran. Increases my respect for the low GI/GL approach, for now.
 
All-Bran is not food. It’s a form of torture invented by Kellog. It’s ingredients start (in order of magnitude) Wheat Bran, sugar, high fructose corn syrup...

Looks more like the masochist hypo treatment.

For whatever reason, the same common brands often have different ingredient mixes in Oz vs the UK or US. In Oz, All-Bran is still dubious but with with somewhat better stats than the UK version. Higher protein, higher fibre, less sugar, less carbs, less salt, lower GI. It gets a 5-star health rating on the govt-sponsored system, FWIW.

Similar thing for Weet-bix vs Weetabix.
 
Morning all.🙂 6.5 here.😛

Endo appointment today...I can already feel my hackles rising.:confused:🙄 I just hope they are friendly in diabetology and not of the opinion that all diabetics need to be treated like naughty children...we shall see.😉
 
07:42 BS 8.8. Yay!🙂 Will have 18 units Novorapid, exercises, breakfast & save the hot bath for later. Got up a bit earlier so, I can have lunch before my physio app. smack bang in the middle of the lunch hour at 13:30. Will have a hot bath after that!

I had my easiest day yesterday exercise wise in that they barely hurt! But, that meant some slight miscalculations in insulin foses: lowered lunch dose resulted in higher than 13 reading, which meant immediate correction, correction was too much, resulting in near hypo & an early dinner!😱

Today’s the start of a new week & hopefully the physiotherapist can finally lay hands on me for stretches after 3 weeks of daily exercises. Then, she’s off for a fortnight for her annual holidays! She will probably give me extra daily exercises to do as well, which I’ll do when I get home! I’ll be sore & need that hot bath after!😱

A very good, good morning to you all!🙂 Yes, it’s a dark morning but, I’m feeling sunny on the inside!:D
 
Morning all, been up a while, just organising the glaziers who arrived at crack of dawn ( well maybe a bit later) to replace a couple of windows.
Odd night, 6.1 before bed, ate a small biscuit, up to 8.3 by the time I put the light out. 3.8 at 2am, obviously slightly overtreated, 7.3 this morning. And my GP wonders why I need more than 4 test strips a day. ( actually I don't these days, I use the Libre half the time, and use most of my month's prescription strips in the intervening two weeks).
 
Morning all 6.1 for me.

Thinking of heading over to Whitby today. The weather may not be brilliant but the kippers are calling.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Those antidepressants I tried sure had a lot to answer for with my BG levels as I kept dropping again yesterday. I dropped my evening meal bolus by 2 units last night and had a straight 6.5 line all through the night so the 2 unit drop was a good idea. Hopefully levels will be better today than they were yesteday as the tablets have now hopefully lost my system - mind you looking at my results you'd think that I wasn't diabetic as I kept managing to catch the dropping levels when they were in the low 4's thanks to the Libre! 🙂
 
Morning all. A strangely low 4.5 at 6.08 this morning.
 
Good morning 6.8 for me in sunny Paignton. 22.C Physio has just arrived so have to get ready for more grief but of a nice sort 🙄.

Enjoy your day all.
 
Morning all. Woke with jaggy throat, pouring nose, yuk. Update- dietitian next Friday. Insulin won’t start till after that but nurse thought my food diary was none too bad. Really mumpy as Victoria plums in garden are ripening and giving them away
