Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning it's a 6.4 for me 🙂

I managed to fall face first yesterday at home and have damaged my left hip- about the only bit of me that was ok! I'm hoping it calms down soon. It was so frightening seeing the wooden floor hurtling towards me with no arms to put out to break my fall - one in a sling the other through a crutch. I lay on the hall floor for a while just testing which bits hurt the most. 😱🙄

Have a good weekend all, do all you can to stay standing! 🙂 Extra good luck with the sleepover @eggyg and hope the cat is following house rules @mikeyB 🙂

Eek, @Flower, hope your hip isn’t too sore (or any other bits of you that you didn’t notice at the time).

Oh no! I hope you are not too sore today @Flower {{{gentle hug}}} Take things easy today 🙂
 
Thanks all, I'm so sore down my left side as I tried to turn mid fall so I didn't smash my face in. Don't think anything else is broken but my hip isn't happy. It is so easy to do yourself damage!
 
Good morning folks.🙂

I woke up on 7.9 after going to bed on 5.1. Oh, well, another Levemir adjustment back up a tad. It was a straight line, mind, so it’s hardly a disaster🙄.

Anyway, it’s a funny Saturday because the football is tomorrow at Ewood. Playing Middlesbrough, do it’ll be a tough game. Keep up the consistent losses against the better teams. Can’t expect miracles, this is the first season since getting promoted. That’s our excuse:D

Now then, Flower, I guessed you’d struggle with one crutch. I do now, but in your situation a tripod ended crutch would help protect you against falls. So if you have one in your trophy room, use it, or beg, steal or borrow one. It will force you to remain upstanding. As one crutchista to another, I know what I’m talking about.

Looking after this cat is no bother. Apparently, she always finds somewhere to hide when in a new environment - she’s a rescue cat, and when she first arrived with daughter, she didn’t eat for five days. Just sneaked out at night to use the litter tray. She can’t have escaped, I just admire her skill. She’d be ace at stealth computer games.😎

Have a good day, everyone, I intend to. Roasting a chicken tonight, so that’s three days meals sorted🙂 (lunch is a Melton Mowbray pie with, of course, English mustard)
 
Good day 6.9 on a cloudy day after glorious weather yesterday.🙂 Went for 3 monthly blood tests, see DSN on Thursday for the usual tests.😎

How are you @Flower? please take care.

@eggyg enjoy your night :D
th


Everybody enjoy your day.🙂
 
7.0 for me although was up to 10 after a tiny breakfast of 20g museli (not a full of sweet stuff type) and a slice of Bergen toast, so thats one to work on. I admire your stamina Mike, going to Ewood two weekends on the trot is devotion to an afternoon out at a football ground well beyond the ability of ordinary mortals. Anyway, cleared out the fridge this morning which gave me the opportunity to make some fridge soup. There is a downside to this approach to soup making. I thought that the fresh chillis had been ignored because they were too mild to be used in anything serious. Turned out I had had a lapse of memory.

I have the base for a bucketful of mulligatawny if anybody is interested.

A rise of 3 after eating isn't bad at all @Docb, it just looks on the high side because you began with a 7 - hopefully if things improve for you and you begin at a lower level then it won't appear as bad 🙂 We're often more insulin resistant in the mornings before everything has got 'warmed up', so a lot of people try to forego carbs for breakfast.
 
Thanks Northerner. Still trying to get some sort of model in my mind about what affects what, what's typical for me and how do I fit into the scheme of things generally. Reading posts on here is invaluable to see where I sit in the vast spectrum of people managing T2. At the moment it looks like plan A, to try and control to between 6 & 9, is going to be a bit of an ask. So its just try and test at the moment until a picture starts form from which we can form plan B (or will it be plan z). I hope that happens before the GP queries the number of test strip pescriptions I am asking for!
 
Get a couple of Libre sensors, and download the free Libre App for your phone. Less finger damage, and it will give you a proper picture of what happens with your BG. Two sensors will last a month, which should be well long enough to point you in the right direction.
 
Could be the best call Mike. I have an abdominal scan next week and if that does not add any information to the picture then it could be the way to go. A couple of times today, an hour after meals I have got the tingles and face ache. Tested on both occasions and got 10.8 and 9.8. Tingles now subsided and back to 6.2. Is there such a thing as hyper (not hypo) awareness?

Well I definitely get increased tinnitus, and just feel ‘weird’, sort of spaced out and fainty. It’s how I found out, I felt so weird the Dr came out and saw me.

Edited to add my eyes feel weird and acidy. Like my tears are acidic, I also get crusty stuff round them. Lovely. But definitely related to BG being higher.

And I smell phantom smells, mostly smoke. All of these have disappeared in the last week, except the tinnitus, but I suspect that’s permanent as I’ve had it for years.

Good morning... Phew what a scorcher. 5.5 yesterday afternoon, went for my latest attempt at a low carb curry, 9.8 at six o'clock, back to 6.2 at 7 o'clock and 5.1 at bed time. Hooray, low carb curries are on the menu I thought. Woke up this morning knowing something was wrong -19.2. Where the hell did that come from. Mikes diabetes fairy must live in Lancashire.
 
I didn’t even know minus numbers existed! I’m glad you’re ok after that, you must have felt absolutely hideous. 😱

6.4 for me, yesterday went a little bit off, which I think was down to 4 days of poor sleep and a bit of an upset stomach. Today I am determined is going to be a good one.
