Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 5.2 here despite a large pasta meal out last night. Got me wondering, all these pasta chain restaurants like the one we went to last night, they must reheat the pasta, so I wondered if the resistant starch principle had operated in my favour. I was expecting to have to top up my insulin after a couple of hours, but didn't have to.
I had a mystery week, about a month ago, @Northerner when I kept waking in the 7s and 8s for no apparent reason. I raised my nighttime basal a bit after a few days of it, because I could, but then just as mysteriously, I reverted to normal patterns and had to lower it again. I didn't feel ill, but I'd just come back from hol, and wondered if I'd picked up some sort of virus that didn't cause me any symptoms apart from blood glucose rising.
 
Good morning a 4.4 for me 🙂 I had one of those count on one hand Midas touch days yesterday when my bg just bobbled along around 4.8-5.0, I took the appropriate action of shaking all my diabetes equipment to check it was working and it appeared to be functioning. Who knows.:confused: I can't say I enjoyed it as I just assumed something was wrong🙄o_O.

I hope you're safe with power @Bloden and storm Callum clears off soon. 🙂

Congratulations on the HS! 🙂

Yes, it may be something like that. I'm wondering if it's because I haven't been running much lately, although I have been doing a lot of countryside walks instead. Wish I had a sensor on, it will probably have changed by the time I get one! 🙄

Could well be, the week after my holiday, which had involved a lot of strenuous mountain walking, I probably did less exercise than normal. If I crack and put a Libre sensor on, my readings immediately go back to normal!
 
Hi all. Dietitian yesterday was great. Looked over food diary and offered suggestions for weight etc.and to make appointment with nurse. She spoke to nurse and nurse called at end of day and she was going to get in touch anyway. Got an appointment for week on Monday after nurses holiday to look at meds and work towards me getting me asymptomatic. I can only say they were both great and supportive. Not now stressing too much about high BG.
Hope you all have a good weekend and I plan to have a restful holiday

Good to hear Carol 🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

Like Robin, I was doing Italian last evening, (Tagliatelle Bolognese) , so expected a double peak.And got it. All under control, and woke with 5.6 with no dawn effect. Isn’t insulin great? 🙂

Anyway, bit late reporting, watching cricket on my iPad till the rains came in Sri Lanka. England won on the Duckworth Lewis System. Please don’t ask me to explain that.:confused:

Speaking of rain, it’s raining enthusiastically here in the ice age gouged out Ribble Valley, so I can’t see the ice age polished hills a couple of miles away.
Not going anywhere though, so don’t care. Family probably calling round, but I’ll have to make sure they are booted out before I watch Wigan beat the wannabes from Warrington.🙄

I do like causing trouble😉
 
Very late today, I promise I haven’t just got up! I had a very restless night, woke at 2.30, couldn’t get back to sleep so got up and read my book. Had a slice of toast, I was starving for some reason, thought maybe hypo but BG 7. Went back to bed at 5.30. Tossed and turned, up at 9 and a BG of 6.7. Went shopping, should have put my wellies on, torrential rain all day, we are on alert which is scary as Carlisle has flooded twice since 2005, but calmed down now, thank goodness. We live on a hill so we’re fine but have friends who I know will have been very worried today. Got three eldest grandkids staying tonight, gluttons for punishment! Won’t be “allowed” to watch Strictly tonight so no spoilers. Enjoy your evening and hope you’re all safe from Callum. 🙂
 
You’ll get no spoilers from me, Eggy. I’ll just ruin things for you by telling that Wigan did win, after a battle of two very good defences.:D
 
Good meaning everyone 2.8!!! I'm really struggling with getting night time basal and gastroparesis right. Oh well c'est la vie. Once I've got my BG up I'm going back to bed and have a planned a nice relaxing Sunday - not much choice really with my damaged calf. Onwards and upwards 🙂
 
Hi all! Moderate debauch last night => 4.5 this morning.
 
Morning all 6.1 for me.

Woke up in a blind panic because I couldn't remember what 11 was in Spanish. Urdu no problem but Spanish nada. 'Once' is now back in the memory.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Mooorning!🙂 7.3 here.😛 That’ll be the cheesecake I made yesterday!🙄

Thanks for thinking of us here in Pembs, @Flower. All is calm on the western front this morning, thankfully, and we’ve got power, etc. Neighbour’s lovely garden took a bashing tho.😱
 
Morning all on a slightly drier morning. A Len Goodman for me this morning....SEVEN! Quite pleased at that as had takeaway last night and had to guesstimate my bolus. Just made full English for 5, kitchen a tad messy as you can imagine. We all got very excited as two of the eggs we used were double yolkers! Simple things eh? Wedding fair this afternoon with daughter number 3, Mr Eggy crying already at the thought of opening his wallet to pay for another wedding! Have a fab, less wet and windy day everyone. 🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

I waked up on 6.5., which is nice.🙂

Then noticed a message, both on my phone and iPad. Average daily phone use, 7 minutes. iPad 7 hours. 😱 I wanted to tell it, I read two newspapers on the iPad, and at the moment it’s my second telly for watching sport, and last week I was, for various reasons, using the Kindle app to read a book. And I never switch it off. Dumb machines. Dumb iOS 12.

Gosh, that sounds grumpy. I’m not really, just sipping a double espresso and having a vape, and evaporating after a night sweat. All normal🙂

Have a good day everyone, specially Robin with her dreams of the Spanish Riding School, and Eggy contemplating selling the Jag to pay for a wedding.

Isn’t life fun?:D
 
Good morning 9.9 on a miserable wet day. Congrats. Robin on a HS 🙂, full of Man flu at the moment but still in shorts & T shirt, 21.C in living room at the moment no heating on yet.

Have a good day all.

Funnily enough I got one of those messages on my iPad this morning it said I was on it for nearly 4 hours yesterday! Then realised it was young Miss Poppy, age 5 years and 51 weeks. She commandeered it as soon as she arrived, all educational games I hasten to had. No Facebook or Twitter, she can wait until she turns 6 next week! :D
 
Morning, folks. 4.9 today, which was pleasing after succumbing to a sirloin+chips last night.

I don't eat steak much any more & chips almost never. It was OK at the time but afterwards felt a bit like I'd eaten a sack of yak-fat. BG went up to about 6.4 2 hrs after vs 4.7 before - fine, but I notice the chip BG-effect seems to linger into the next day.

Have an excellent day!
