Group 7-day waking average?

Bore da, pawb.🙂 7.0 yma.😛

Yes, it’s Welsh class tonite.:D We were told to have a look at various online tools - SaySomethingInWelsh gave me such a rigorous mental workout that I had a hypo, LOL.😱🙄

Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!😎
 
Morning all, 4.2 here, according to the Libre I've been scraping along the bottom all night, may have to rethink basal. I normally need to increase in winter, not decrease!
I find hypos caused by mental workouts are the worst, @Bloden, especially if I'm sitting at the computer concentrating hard, they sneak up on you without you noticing.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

What a bunch we are today. I woke with 3.8. Like Robin, I’ve been doing a bit of basal fiddling, and overshot.

That’s not a euphemism, honest:D
 
Morning all 🙂 3.7 today who knows? Not me for sure :confused:

Off to the orthopaedic clinic today I should have stayed overnight. 😉 Love you diabetes 😡

Is there a word for hypo in Welsh @Bloden ?
Best wishes for the orthopod discussion. Hope it’s not too challenging. Fingers crossed🙂
 
Morning all 🙂
My first night on a pump and I woke to a 2.5 😱. I know pumping can be tricky for a good while when you're a newbie, I'm itching to do an overnight basal test, but it's probably too soon. I'm waiting for a DSN to call me back. Ironically I had the opposite problem on MDI 🙄
 
Morning all! A 7.2 this morning. Very windy but a lot milder, supposed to be 22 degrees tomorrow! So will get our chores done today so we can go walking tomorrow. Otherwise just a normal day in the Eggy household. I might liven it up and do a bit ironing whilst watching Great British Menu! :D
 
Good morning . 5.1 for me today
Hope you all h@ve a good day
 
Good morning. May I join you on the 8.3 step Northener, mines because of 4 pringles and two Tunnocks tea cakes 😱😡😱

Hope you all have a good day.
 
5.7 for me also. Have good days, all!
 
Beautiful morning here today. A very nice, normal 6.2. Off for a nice flat walk today, back been a bit twingy for a few days but going stir crazy staying at home so will chance it. Have a good day all.
 
09:11 BS 9.7. A bit higher than yesterday! Yesterday’s change of routine meant I didn’t know what to expect of my BS readings & it certainly kept me on my toes! I was ok at the 2 hour after lunch mark but, dropped nearly 5 mmol after that until dinner from 9.8 to 4.9. Then, for once, took the precaution of cooking first before injecting when about to eat dinner. Sarting feeling hypo just before the 90 minutes after mark & BS was 5.2. Too low with 2.5 hours of active insulin left & had half an oatcake. Poured some juice too but, realised just in time that, despite me feeling hypo, I’m NOT hypo yet & there’s enough time, or is that room to drop, for the oatcake to kick in & didn’t drink it.

I kind of know what to expect today. Lunch & Dinner doses will be reduced. It keeps happening, seems ok at the 2 hour after meal mark & a big drop after that & it affects the next meal!🙄 I now know that’s a sign to reduce doses & put up with a rise in BS until it settles down, then big drops again & more reductions etc.🙄

The sun is up but, it’s still pretty cold here. Just off to eat breakfast! Have a good day all & carry the sunshine on the inside!🙂
