Group 7-day waking average?

KARNAK said:
Good morning 12.8 no overnight Basal, DSN said run high for a few days down to 7.4 now.🙄



Yeah sure am @Benny G, thanks for your concern.🙂

Thanks Alan bit of a close call but you did make I laugh.:D

Go for it @Lanny, good luck.🙂

Hope you are feeling better Amanda.

Have good day if you can folks, stay safe.🙂

Much safer that way: that’s some drop if that’s after breakfast; you’d hypoed if on basal!😱

Thanks for the good wishes for my review, @KARNAK 🙂

Just finished an early lunch & my midday meds a little early. Will just have enough time to test after lunch before I leave the house!🙄

Morning everyone🙂

Middle of the night **** up for me. Found my BG to be 3.2, so corrected that. Woke up on 9.8, which is a combination of JBs and another long lie in, so inserting morning Levemir late. Ho hum🙄

It’s hard work being a slob. While slobbing, I’ve just finished reading the last of Ann Cleves Shetland books. If you’ve been watching Shetland, the TV show was a completely different crime and story. The book is far more more thoughtful, and (spoiler alert) everyone gets a happy ending, which is a rare commodity in the world at the moment.:confused:

I’m now reading a Val McDermid, who is a different kind of writer. She’s from Kirkcaldy, so her books are darker and nastier. I like a bit of Scottish Noir.🙂

Anyway, all this research into how to kill folk won’t put food on the table, so I’m off down into the village for a few bits. And annoy 4x4 drivers😎

Have a good day everyone, enjoy life, that’s an order🙂
 
12:38 BS 5.5 90 mins after lunch! A bit of a boo boo there! But, had an oatcake & a jelly baby, just in case, to cover 2.5 hours of active insulin. Will also take some jelly babies & testing kit with me. Have to take the bigger handbag now as my wee bag won’t hold all that! I added an extra 2 units Novorapid for eating less than 4 hours after breakfast that was too much!🙄 Great start as I head off to the hospital now!😳
 
4.2 for me this morning after another fitful night including 3 hypo corrections.

I am exhausted and have come into work a couple of hours late. Boss doesn't mind as I have a meeting at 7pm which means I won't be home until gone 9pm :(

I’ve been trying to pick up the Ann Cleaves books from my local charity shops to no avail, I may have to stop being so tight and get them from Amazon! I have enjoyed the Shetland series on the whole but sometimes I feel they drag the story line out and I am disappointed to learn hardly any scenes are actually shot in Shetland! What a swizz! I like Val McDemid too but never watched any of the TV adaptations. Have you read Stuart McBride? Very Scottish Noir! 😱
 
Just back from the hospital! Appointment ran VERY late because there was a student doctor with the consultant then had to wait for 3 other people who had appointments with the dietician. So, literally JUST about caught the last bus back! Will make a cup of tea & eat the sandwich I bought before leaving the hospital! Will update on another thread once I’ve eaten: starving!😱🙄

Good morning tested at 1.30am and was so frustrated that my BG was as high as 11.5 (Libre had said 6.5) that I tested again and it was 10.6. Looking on the bright side I thought that at least it meant a hypo free sleep. Scanned at 5.15am and it said 2.8 - so I thought that I'd better finger prick check and it was 2.7. I could cry about how erratic my BGs are now especially when the consultant thought that I was doing so well a fortnight ago. I'm definitely carb counting everything properly - OH and I cross check the carbs for everything - and bolusing properly. Guess it's just that lovely friend of mine gastroparesis.

Grr! So sorry to hear you are having so many ups and downs Amanda {{{HUGS}}}
 
10.6 for me, it’s going to be one of those days. Also I can’t seem to persuade brain that it’s not Saturday yet, as I’ve just auto cleared the hall ready for a big Ikea delivery which doesn’t arrive until tomorrow.
 
Morning all, 4.9 here. Been fighting high numbers the past few days, so upped my basal. Think I may have gone too far the other way.
 
07:36 BS 7.3. I think I underestimated the carbs in the sandwich & I conked out in exhaustion soon after eating it & didn’t test! I’ve had problems wth bolusing for the hospital sandwiches when I go there: delicious freshly made sandwiches that always spike my BS up; might not be all the sarnie’s fault though as you add in stress & nerves!🙄

For those of you who haven’t read my update on yesterday’s review, I want to thank everyone on this thread! I learnt the most from this thread about basal & bolus insulin, what they do & how they work & when to up or down doses. Miraculously my HbA1c has stayed the same at 63 as at the end of Aug. 2018 for the review in Sept. 2018, on horrendous more amounts of insulin so, also great that I’ve stayed the same weight: increased insulin tends to increase weight!🙂 Clapping hands emoji!:D

The consultant questioned me to make sure I knew what I was doing & when to up & down doses. He was very pleased that I do know what I’m doing & that I joined this forum, making it clear it’s the Diabetes UK Charity site & not the other one!:D

Thanks very much folks!😉

Skipping off to brekkie! Have a good day!😉
 
Morning all, a 9.3 for me today.
 
Morning all. 6.3 after a good night sleep!

Thanks Alan. Well after two weeks of high levels today it won't stop dropping. After 2 small cans of full sugar coke and stopping my basal for an hour (1.5 units of humalog) it is dropping again and now back down to 4.4. Thank goodness for my Libre for catching what it's doing. I'm exhausted.

So frustrating! :(
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up on 6.1. That’s a blood test reading, cos my sensor died on schedule yesterday morning. I was a day late phoning Abbott, so the sensors arrive in an hour or so. Nonetheless, I’m still claiming a straight line overnight - went to bed on 9.2, gave myself a small correction which clearly worked. Who’s a clever boy, then?😎

Made Moussaka last evening. Minced lamb is very fatty, so I dry fried it, then put it in a large sieve to drain off the fat before carrying on with the rest of the ingredients. That’s today’s cooking tip. For free, too, which is unlike me:D

Anyway, before eating my Moussaka and tomato salad, I sent £x00 to the Mozambique Appeal so that those unfortunate folk could eat too. If we weren’t so obsessed with Brexit, this would be the headline story. The story that really hit me was the woman who was sleeping with her young daughter when the floods hit. Her daughter was washed away, and is probably now floating somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Send what money you can.

Right, I’m off for a shave and a shower. The nice ParcelForce man has just handed me my sensors so back to being human again:D

Have a good day, folks, and be grateful that all you need moan about is the weather.🙂
 
Good morning 5.7 dropping to 5.0 two hours later 09:00.🙄 Council Tax bill just in, gone up 4.1%.:( Not much to report, thanks for the Moussaka tip @mikeyB.🙂

Enjoy your day everyone.🙂
