Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone🙂

I challenged the old insulin last evening. It was Mrs B’s birthday, so prepared a special birthday meal. Tagliatelle with a creamy sauce with lots of paprika and fresh parsley, plus fish stock, and a mix of mussels, prawns and squid rings. Very tasty too.

Woke today with 5.6, and wiggly straight line overnight, charting my movement while asleep, but always in range.

Who’s a clever boy, then😎:D

Good morning 🙂 5.8 after a jacket potato challenge last evening. I don't eat them very often but how on earth can a stupid potato require so much insulin juggling. Boo hiss 😡

Glad the swimming was enjoyable for you Bloden if not so much for your Libre! 🙂

I loved baked potatoes too & they send my BS soaring as weel. But, not anymore now that I’ve found a way of daeling with it! I bake the potatoes, scoop them out of the skins when they’ve done, add butter & black pepper & them them cool completely. I can then reheat in the microwave whenever I want it. All the baked potato taste is there & my BS is hardly affected!🙂
 
12:05 BS 6.8! Wow!😱😛:D😎 That’s the same figure I went to bed on last night!🙂

Had my midday Levemir, 16 units Novorapid reduced dose, exercises & breakfast.

It’s the usual Irish wind & rain autumn weather outside but, I’m OH SO SUNNY on the inside!:D😎

I took a taxi, as has been usual, to pick up my prescription yesterday. Then, I decided after a few weeks of daily physio with improved neuropathy symptoms I’d test my energy levels by walking 3500 steps home!😱 Not quite 100% there energy wise as the last third was a REAL struggle & my back & spine got VERY stiff, with my legs JUST beginning to turn wobbly when I got home! Will give it another week of daily physio & more improvements before I test myself again! My BS continued to drop steadily the rest of the day & I finished on 6.8!😎😛

I wish you all a good morning & may you all be sunny on the inside regardless of the actual weather outside!:D😎

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

I was 16.7
 
Morning! 4.8 again here.
 
Good morning folks. 6.5 with a very gently rising attempt at a flatfish
 
Morning all, a 6.0 for me, not bad after a very carby meal last night. Daughter recreated a noodle dish she had in Japan last year, but we'd both walked miles round the Blenheim horse trials, so must have cancelled each other out.

Good morning 🙂 3.8 after a hypo night. Lesson for the day - don't try to move furniture when on crutches with a fractured leg, it uses way too much energy up and causes hypos! 🙄

Have a good day everyone. Lovely to see an HS Bloden 🙂

Be careful - sometimes even Feng Shui can be dangerous! 😱 🙂 I remember when I was recovering from breaking my femur I ordered an exercise bike to help with rehabilitation - when it arrived it was in bits and had to assemble it 😱 Not an easy task by yourself - I was also on crutches and some bits were very heavy! I wasn't diagnosed back then, but I do remember the effort and would definitely need to shovel in a few jelly babies were I to try it now 😱 🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

I woke up - or, more accurately, was wakened by a message from Vodafone saying this month’s bill was available to view - with 4.3. Nice downward sloping straight line overnight, so fair enough. It’s only nearly bad.🙄

Well, it's Sunday. Newspaper morning, Sunday National and Washington Post online, then The Observer. A soft Leftie’s wallow. Then the family will arrive to interrupt footie on the TV, Peppa Pig will be on, and young Tom will be hammering the rise and recline furniture. “It’s a bed, now Grandad!”

I wish:confused::D
