Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning gang🙂

Wasn’t Dr Who good? Jodie Whittaker was absolutely ace. Can’t wait for next Sunday.🙂

Anyway, I had a stonking hypo in the night - a four JB job. Went back to sleep and woke with 5.6, which was after a dead straight line post dip. That, even though I say so myself, is a brilliant bit of diabetic number fiddling. 😎
 
Morning all. A surprising 6.7 this morning as last night went to bed on a 10! Oops! That leftover slice of Asda cheesy white loaf accidentally fell into my mouth when I was tidying up after tea! Not a lot going on today, wet and windy, and the weather isn’t so good either! Waiting for my new double oven and hob to arrive, going to make some cauli soup and prep the Spanish chicken for tonight. It’s rock and roll in our house. 😉

Even I watched it Mike and I don’t do Dr Who. Mr Eggy was like a little boy waiting for Christmas all day yesterday. He really enjoyed it, I was ambivalent but I did like her character but don’t care for monsters! But will probs still take a peek next Sunday whilst waiting for Strictly results! 🙄
 
Good morning 5.1, congrats on HS Eddy Edson 🙂. Very bad DPN through the night, right foot & ankle really swollen very painful :(. Its a year today since diagnosis :D and I have this forum to thank for keeping me on the straight & narrow.

Hope you all have good day.

Good morning, a nice enough 5.0 🙂

Congratulations you HS achievers 😎

It's Monday so that must mean... foot clinic time 🙄:(

Good luck with the foot-sloggers, Flower!
 
10:05 BS 10.0. 16 units Novorapid, exercises & breakfast. Finally yesterday managed NOT to hypo after lunch but, reduced all doses & had an orange out of target day of readings with just one red high reading after lunch: better than a hypo!

My weekend waking readings were 11.1 Sat. & 10.6 Sun. with post lunch hypos.

I felt a change last night & felt my flu jab site. Sure enough it was almost back to normal & only hurt when pressed hard. Woke this morning & it’s completely flat, no swelling, & only hurts when pressed very hard. So will try pre flu jab doses today of 16, 8 & 8. Already had the +2 dose of 8 units Levemir at midnight but, will go back to 24 units Levemir at midday!

Loved this weekend’s Strictly & Doctor Who! The end of Vanity Fair was a little disappointing though!

Hope you all have a GREAT day! And keep that Sunny feeling on the inside!🙂
 
8.8 this morning after a very bad day yesterday. The sugar monster inside of me was screaming to be fed, I tried ignoring it, hoping it would give up and go away, but no it got more ferocious in its demands, in the end I ate 3 slices of bread, but that did not stop it, then a magnum finally shut it up, but now I am feeling almost hung over with the effects and the 8.8 this morning. Even warned my hubby when he came home from work last night that there was a sugar monster in the house so beware. Anyway starting weight watchers today as I think that will keep me on the straight and narrow, but still allowing me to be lower carb.

I once succumbed to a Magnum and felt so ill, I can’t look at them now! Good luck with WW, in my personal experience prefer them to SW, too many carbs in their diet. I am a WW gold member from 1994, wonder if they would still let me join for free? I am heavier now than when I first went to loose weight. We never appreciate the times we thought we were ‘ fat’ when infact we weren’t, I would love to be as “ fat” as I was in 1994! :D
 
I feel ill most of the time but never think it's the D. How do you feel if you have high bg? I dunno! Bet mine are high now, had double porridge and a banana for breakfast, this is my idea of 'normal.' I'm just trying to eat at 10 and 5, but we're going to Giraffe's in the Trafford Centre so not sure what I'm going to have.

Can't measure as I've run out of strips. 🙄 I don't like not knowing. :(
 
Morning, all! 5.4 today on a gray, where-has-spring-gone morning. Off to doc's to get a Perindopril => ARB change & hopefully get rid of this cough. Seems pretty straightforward; should it really need a surgery visit?
 
Yes. That’s what TV ads in Blighty say. Cough for more than three weeks, see the doc. If that’s what the government ads say, it must be right.🙄
 
04:44 BS 9.3. Yay! That’s slighly lower than the 9.8 I went to bed on & I start the day with a green within target figure! Yesterday was mostly green within target despite the out of target start & 12 units less insulin: 32 units compared to 48 units of the day before! Now that I’m over the flu jab I can continue working on getting my doses & BS down!🙂

It’s very cold this pre dawn morning & I’m changing my routine slightly! I had 16 units & just finishing my breakfast with the last bit of tea in my cup! Have put on the hot eater for a bath, bathe to warm up my body & muscles brfore doing my physio exercises. Started noticing yesterday, & last few days really, that it’s harder to get the muscles moving when it’s cold!😱🙄

It’s still dark outside but, I’m pretty Sunny on the inside!:D

Good morning to you all!🙂
 
Good morning everyone 9.5 (although Libre says 6.7!). I thought that birthday champagne last night might lower my levels but it didn't :D Just had an absolutely brilliant four days of more birthday celebrations at a fantastic harbour hotel in Mudeford Quay. The bed was massive so I enjoyed lots of sleeps. But also lots of celebrating and visiting various places including a wonderful drive through the New Forest. I'm happy but completely exhausted so lots of rest this week before 50th birthday celebrations start again on Saturday :D
