Group 7-day waking average?

Managed quite well yesterday after pre buffet hypo. Fell off chocolate wagon later so waking levels high. That’s why I don’t usually have chocolate in the house.
Have a nice day everyone
 
Morning, already been up 5 hours! Not seasonal stress, got a stinking cold ( again) that’ll teach me to boast I hasn’t had a cold for years, two in as many months. Was 7.2 this morning, didn’t actually have too much to eat yesterday and only one glass of champagne. Hope everyone had a fab day yesterday, we did. I will mostly be doing nowt today just like every other Boxing Day. Have a good one all. 🙂
 
10:02 BS 8.9. Ok ish after being too low 90 minutes after dinner last night! Spent all day, apart from waking on BS 7.5, sub 6. But, after dinner was BS 4.3. So, had a chocolate mint chocolate chip (new from asda this Christmas) cookie & a cup of tea with 2.5 hours of active insulin left! Was getting tired so, checked again at the 3 hour mark & BS 4.5. So, another cookie & tea. Stayed up another hour & tested again, BS 7.6 & went to bed, just after midnight! Had 8 units of Levemir. I read back yesterday’s post & realised I had 10 units of Levemir at midnight instead of the 8 I’d intended added to the decision to keep Midday Levemir to 32 units at midday! Will definitely dial back midday Levemir today!😱🙄

Had a great day watching TV yesterday with Strictly, Call the Midwife & Doctor Who!:D Thought of mum & my sister having a grand old party together up there somewhere & gave them a toast with my glass of elderfower presse & Lindor truffles: tee total; mum passed in 2015 & sister passed earlier this year!🙂 Hope you all had a WONDERFUL day yesterday & didn’t miss any missing loved ones too much!🙂

Last day of leftovers today & I’ll have a tesco delivery tomorrow! Have a relaxing day everyone & good BS scores!😉 Sending you all bright sunshine!😎😛
 
Good morning 7.0 hope everyone had a good day, I certainly did 🙂. Didn`t have a clue how much NovoRapid to Bolus for so took 10 units, worked a treat 🙂.

Hope you feel better soon @eggyg, @Amigo and Mr. Amigo.

Enjoy your pub lunch Northie 🙂.

All the best to the rest 🙂.
 
Good afternoon, hangover fans🙂

I was smug yesterday, only 8.0 two hours after Christmas lunch. I was up early so we could be transported to daughter’s gaff to witness young Tom opening all his presents while his dad employed all his catering experience to produce a flawless meal. Santa didn’t bring the new legs and nervous system I asked for. Obviously haven’t been a good boy:(

After lunch, went over to join the in-laws in one of their massive family gatherings.which was fun. Won a prize in the Savage Santa game - a Levi Roots griddle pan with inclusive Piri Piri sauce and marinade, which I managed to hold on to. Amazing what you can find in BM Bargains, daughter opined.🙄

Anyway, went to bed on 7.1, and woke up on 10.9.not sure where that came from, I was suitably Levemired. Who cares, that’s what insulin is for🙂

Slept 11 hours last night, with a ten minute break for a wee and collecting the newspaper from the front doors. That’s an untroubled conscience, that is. Or I was just sinfully knackered. You guess:D

Just Hogmanay and Birthday to get through, now. Had a lifetime of this, then young Tom gets born on the 13th of Jan to extend the season. No peace for the wicked....

Have a good recovery day, everyone🙂
 
A crappy 12.6 for me this morning but I've been having troubles lately as it is and with the lurgy again and having no routine yesterday I'm not too surprised, hate having to wait 3 days before changing Tresiba doses! lol x

Sounds like a good day was had by all. We have youngest granddaughter’s first birthday on Sunday, then New Year, then our grandson’s birthday on the 14th! Then breathe! Santa wasn’t good to me either Mike, I have asked for new shoulders two years on the trot now and a new inner thermostat, he never listened, I’m never going to be good ever again, it’s not worth it! :D
 
Feeling very sorry for myself today, I must have man flu! Coughing and spluttering, sneezing, snotty and generally feel rubbish. So probably no surprise BGs are 7.7. Could have been worse, I went to bed at 8.30 forgetting about my Levemir but woke up at 10 ish and forced myself to get up and inject, I really didn’t want to! Need to give myself a shake, babysitting day, not just 1 this week, all 4 and 3 are having a sleep over! 😱
 
Hope you feel better soon Elaine.
 
07:08 BS 6.9. Yay! Very happy with that!🙂 AND tesco delivery from 9 to 10 this morning! Got very sick of eating leftovers yesterday & apart from that, there was only cornflakes in the house!😱 After dialing back midday Levemir my readings stayed sub 7 without going too low & went to bed on BS 6.7.🙂 Interestingly, I tested in the middle of the night, after a call of nature, at 03:22 & BS 4.4. I know from past experience that that’s when I dip down to my lowest during the night: 2-4am! Wasn’t unduly worried as it wasn’t a hypo & knew it would start rising soon enough & went back to sleep!🙄

Watched all of the BBC’s production of Watership Down on iPlayer & had a very relaxing day!🙂 Memories of watching the original animated film & that song, Bright Eyes, all those years ago & reading the book afterwards: SO engrossed in a tale about rabbits!😛:D

Don’t want leftovers or cornflakes this morning so, half an oatcake & half dose Novorapid, 10 units, to stop the rise & I’ll have sushi when the shopping arrives later! Then I’ll use the leftover over chicken, half a breast & 2 drumsticks, to make a curry later! Remember Bridget Jones’ Diary & her parents turkey curry buffets on Boxing Day?:D

Sorry to hear that some of you have come down poorly now, @Amigo & @eggyg!:( Having been poorly & sub power for so long, I know how that saps the energy!🙄 Get well soon!🙂

Wishing you all a good morning & some brightness & sunshine!🙂
 
Morning all 6.4 for me.

Horrendous zig zag graphs over the last couple of days. I hope it's just the irregular mealtimes, at least it was a lovely flatfusf overnight.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I scored 6.0 on the dot when I was woken this morning, which is nice.🙂

Course, I have no idea what went on during the night because my sensors still haven’t arrived. That’s what woke me up at 8.00 am - a phone message to let me know a parcel is arriving between 11.30 and 12.30. Just like the text I got telling me a package would arrive Christmas Eve.🙄

Well, fine. But I don’t get up in the dark, so went to pick up the paper, and went back to bed and read a book till the alarm went off at 8.45. You have to keep routines when you are retired, it keeps alive a tenuous hold on reality:confused::D

Have a good day everyone. Chin up, Cadbury’s Cream Eggs will appear soon. Nice to have a bit of variety in the hypo treatment🙂

Well, they will all be sneezy and snotty as well, so stock up on the tissues, Calpol and Famous Grouse if you need some peace. Trust me, I’m a doctor:D
