Group 7-day waking average?

5.3 this morning, loving being steroid-free and reducing Tresiba every day.
Enjoy your days activities everyone xx
 
8.0 today, 8.8 yesterday so coming down nice and steady due to the Atkins, still doing okay on it. I dunno what I'd do if I didn't have Atkins to fall back on. It's for life now though as have had a massive wake-up call with a very close family member having a 'small' heart attack on Boxing Day. :'(

Go for blood tests on the 2nd Jan prior to diabetic review next month. I was going to continue pigging out till the new year but not now! :( I was being a fool anyway. Hope you're all having a good twelve days. :D
 
9.1 for me this morning. Better than it was. Threw a hissy fit at myself yesterday in disgust and totally mortified at the c#&# I have eaten, and yesterday innards told the tale. Better day yesterday and plan to be kind to myself instead of self destruct and a human dust bin

Have a good day all xx
 
Good morning everyone🙂

Bit of a grey drizzly morning here, hope it clears cos I need a couple of things from the shop.

Anyway, 5.7 for me, with a reasonably straight line overnight. Had a self pitying miserable snotty and sneezy night, so I think I’ll be grumpy all day. That’s a tactical decision, by the way, what with me being a man.😎

Rather oddly, my BG has not been adversely affected by this cold. Don’t really understand that, unless I’m sneezing out all the glucose. Or maybe it’s the extra calories being burned by the effort of sneezing. I’ll ask my watch, bound to know.

Have a good day y’all, hope everyone feels better at the end of it than the start🙂
 
Good morning. The sun is trying to come out here 🙂 woke to 5.6
Hope you all have a nice day .
 
Morning all

6.3 today. Attempting to sort my diet and levels out now so lots and lots of testing on the cards. Not a terrible start though
 
08:21 BS 7.6. About the same as yesterday! Yesterday was a day of reductions & extra eating! As despite the reductions I still ended up too low with BS 4.1 just 73 minutes after dinner! Could feel myself going hypo & tested earlier than 90 minutes! Poured myself a glass of juice & shoved 2 cookies down. Then, downed 2 glasses of water because of the extreme sweetness! 😱 Felt very bloated & was very releived that Just after the 4 hour mark BS 5.4 & went to bed: didn’t want to eat any more!:(

So, today I have stuck with 6 units Levemir at midnight & have 26 units at midday. Novorapid will be 16, 14 & 12 units, depending on the meter! I’m being cautious & I’m ok with BS being a bit higher rather than being too low & eating more! But, I AM getting used to the taste of things & it’s a tiddly bit less extreme!🙄

Things are getting back to normal, at last & I’m adjusting!🙄

Have a wonderful day full of broght sunshine on the inside & give what for to those snotty cold viruses!😉
 
Morning all, a 9.3 for me today.
 
Morning all. An 8 for me today, the lurgy still lingers. Feel like a washed out dish rag at the moment. No energy at all and I went to bed at 8.30 last night! Youngest granddaughter’s 1st birthday today so getting a visit this afternoon to give her her present. We have bought her a wooden toy box to put all her Christmas presents in! Hope you all have a lurgy free day.

Oh dear Mike, sorry if I have passed it on to you! I have lost weight since the lurgy hit and I’m sure it’s all the man sized sneezes I am doing, I’m sure they are about 7 on the Richter scale! I’m exhausted! :D
 
Dinnae fash, Eggy. It’s a local disease for local people, courtesy of grandson. I’m feeling a lot better now, I swear it’s because I ate half a big pomegranate yesterday, and the other half today. Loads of Vitamins, and with the fibre in the seeds it made hardly a blip on the BG. Love pomegranate.

I used to love a Tequila Sunrise, you get nearly half of your RDA of Vit C with a single drink. And no hangover because of all the sugar. Haven’t had one since Mr D landed.:( One of your five a day, too. Five will get you healthily rat faced.:D
 
I always wanted to try a Tequila Sunrise because of the film so I asked when at a posh works do at the Cresta Hotel but they didn't have any. :( Never had any opportunity since.

This morning I was 8.6 and I was a tad disappointed, but will keep going. Today I've eaten too many nuts. Portion control is very hard, my tendency is to be a natural pig : oink :

Dry roasted peanuts were one of the left overs that escaped my bucket. I was merrily munching then thought to look at carbs... oops. Now in bin as I can’t be trusted
 
Good morning everyone 🙂 After three weeks of dealing with crashing night time levels and lots of basal reductions I've woken up with a lovely 6.5 and a nice flat line for the night 🙂
 
Woke at 0033 this morning, feeling a bit odd, so checked BG 9.1. This morning it’s 11.1. Must be dawn phenomena or DF on the prowl.
Happy Hogmanay everyone and am hoping The Steamy will be on tv today
