Group 7-day waking average?

[eggyg]

Good morning 🙂 7.8 for me today, after (another!) 2.6 night hypo last night and lots of furious jelly baby consumption 😱 What intrigues me is that a) I woke up, knowing that my brain was not functioning correctly - how can a part of your brain be rational enough to 'know' that, overall, it's having problems? And b) Why am I having night hypos when I don't use basal insulin? 😱 Grrr! 😡

Ah well, I survived! Also survived the Eye Hospital - still teetering on the edge of the point where I will need injections, but good news is that my right eye is 'dry' with no signs of the macular oedema affecting my left eye 🙂 Downside with the right eye is that the pressure is slightly higher than it should be, yet left eye is fine! 🙄

It took forever to recover from the drops last evening, took about 7-8 hours before I could focus properly, they must have been industrial strength! 😱

My advice is to get your Christmas shopping done today whilst it is quiet, as it will probably be quite busy on Monday... 😉

In all my years of working in retail, Christmas Eve was generally the quietest day, the majority of shoppers were men funnily enough! One such year, a tipsy young man bought his girlfriend a velvet jacket ( it was the 70s!) and asked me if I would wrap it for him and slip a ring box inside one of the pockets, ahhh! Always wondered if she said yes. 🙂

Oops 13.1 this morning. Nothing to do with fall from grace last night and chocolate. Nor the temper when I saw that my Xmas wreath on front door had been stolen.i wish them a merry Xmas

😡

Afternoon chaps. I am very late considering I have been up since 2.30am. 😱 Yes, seasonal insomnia is really hitting me this year, I also have been very busy trying to get my kitchen Christmas ready, the renovation is almost complete but not quite and I have banned Mr Eggy from any more demolition work, sawing, drilling, routing, sanding until 27th. So been cleaning like a mad woman. Oh what was the question again? Oh yes BGs 7.7. If you’re in to read this, well done, if not, I feel really sorry for you battling the shops, supermarkets especially, yesterday was bad enough! Have a good one. 🙂

10.6 for me this morning. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle at the moment my insulin requirements are just so high.

I've always needed quite a bit of insulin I suppose but my ratio was about 2units for every 10g carbs. I've been taking 3 units for 10 and even with that my bloods are still rising.

Just getting frustrated with it and I dread eating at the moment

I hope you start feeling better soon.
Don’t worry about the extra insulin needed, you need what you need
Do you know the T1 sick day rules ?

Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a good day.

Woke up feeling so so tired I know the reason though, 2 gingernuts had a dance with my new antibiotics

I also woke up feeling very Hungry so I’m chewing my nails down to the quick counting the minutes till I can eat.

 

[Carolg]

Good morning. Awake early organising Xmas day in my head.
6.7 for me so pleased with that. Have a good day all

 

[eggyg]

You got seasonal insomnia as well @Carolg? I had a lie in today, 6.15 as opposed to yesterday’s 2.30. A disappointing 7.7 this morning, went to bed on a perfect 7 and no snacks, honest guv! Not as disappointing as my effort to make cranberry and port sauce. Cranberries, port, orange zest, sugar, put in pan simmer for 15 minutes said Deliah. I made my breakfast and ate it while the magic was happening, turned round and it was all over my brand new hob! They say life is too short to peel a mushroom, well it’s definitely too short to make your own cranberry sauce. It took me longer to clean the cooker! 😡

Morning all, 5.8 here. Back to gloomy rain here, it was so crisp and sunny yesterday!

 

[khskel]

Morning all and 4.6 for me.

Braved the supermarket for the veg yesterday and it wasn't bedlam. Off to the tip today with a load of cardboard that won't fit in the bin.

Have a good day everyone.

A supper teacake induced 7.4 for me.

I need to brave the supermarket for the vegetables and meat though if it were up to me I’d make a big lamb curry and forget about all this madness! 🙄

08:59 BS 11.9! Yikes! Horror emoji! Then, hang on! I had a manicure before bed last night with a nice spot of red on my nails for the Christmas season! All that cuticle oil & hand cream etc! So, did a quick wash of my hands & tested again! 09:02 BS 7.7. Whew, huge sigh of relief! That’s more like it! The same as yesterday!🙂

Another quite long snooze overnight, the benefits of doing the daily physio exercises again. I split the exercises into little sets of 5 throughout the day as it’s less effort than trying to do them all at once: still don’t have the energy for that!🙂

Almost managed to only eat 3 meals yesterday, had to have a wee snack of tea & toast just before bed! Apart from after breakfast, BS 10.0, all readings were sub 10. Things are getting better, just as well as there’s only today & tomorrow to go with the antibiotics!

I tried dialing the most dnight Levemir back to 10 units & waking BS was ok! Will stick with 22 units, I think, to see what breakfast does. Then, maybe, dial back midday Levemir to 34 & stick with 22 units again, depending on the meter!

Just remembered to pick up extra insulin, just in case, yesterday that I ordered on Wednesday when I had the blood tests. The town was stuffed full of traffic & it took a 45 minute wait for a taxi there & back. I tried to cut the wait for the return journey down by booking it for half an hour later before I stepped out at the chemist. Picked up the insulin, did a little shop & bought some of my favourite soup & went back to the chemist carpark for my taxi with 5 minutes to spare! But, taxi was 15/20 minutes late because of traffic! Eventually got home & had some soup for lunch!😱

Crikey! I’m loquacious, talkative, again this morning!😱 Must get to doing insulin & breakfast. It was 64 minutes after insulin yesterday before I ate breakfast because I was gabbing so much on this thread yesterday!🙄

Wishing you all bright sunshine on the inside & Season’s Greetings!😉

Good morning 🙂 6.6 for me today 🙂 Did everyone enjoy the extra second of daylight we got yesterday? 🙂

 

[mikeyB]

Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up on 6.3. That seems to be the standard morning reading from a Tee2 reader, so that’s reassuring. The Post Office tell me that my sensors are arriving tomorrow, so I can get back to fibs I can believe in

Anyway, a bad morning otherwise. The lift isn’t working, so I’m housebound. Good job I trundled down into the village yesterday to get the last prescriptions of the year, final Christmas presents, wrapping paper, and stuff.

My new phone is very officious. When I got home, I noticed a message on the screen: “As you appear to have been driving, alerts and notifications have been switched off”. Then “Did you mind the Weather App following your location?”. No I didn’t, it wasn’t raining and not too cold, and only a mile from where I live.🙄

Don’t know what the phone would say about the tsunami that’s hit Indonesia and Java after Anak Krakatau erupted. Very touristy area, down there, lots of folk killed. My thoughts are with the families of those affected.😳

And I’m bothered by a lift breakdown. Puts that into perspective, for sure.

Have a good day everyone. Be glad you were born on a geologically inert island🙂

11.6 for me 😱

 

[KARNAK]

Good afternoon 6.8 on a horrible day. Just got back from Morrisons got there 09:00 this allows you to do your shopping but you can`t checkout until 10:00 . Anyway major hypo in the store, made my way to the toilet because I knew I was going to vomit and I did, filled the sink up 😳. Cleaned everything up including me and went back in the store on wobbly legs and tested BS, 1.9😱, retested 2.0. Glucose tablets & JB.s concoction at least I kept it down, my friends were there to help BS still only 4.2 1.5hrs later. Back up to 9.0 at this time of day 🙂, thanks for listening.

Take care all, thinking of you.

Ideal enjoy.

 

[Lanny]

Oh, @KARNAK, you’ve had a tough day, by the looks of it! It was a good thing your friends were there!🙂 Hope the rest of the day is better! Put your feet up! A very low hypo like that must be exhausting!😱 The lowest hypo I’ve ever had is 2.3 & that was horrible!

 

[Madeline]

That sounds awful, you poor old thing
