Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all🙂

I woke up with 5.6, and a perfect line in range after going to bed on 6.1, which was around the level I was 2 hours after dinner. Textbook stuff🙂

Don’t tell my diabetes nurse that, it’ll ruin my plot to get a pump.😎

It’s a pleasant day here in the Valley. Just as well, really, I need to get some tomato juice. Not for me, mind. And I might call in at the butchers for a bit of local dead animal. Fancy a bit if shin beef for a casserole. Yummy.🙂

I also need to get my my non stockpiled insulin prescription, I’ve just started my last pen of Humalog. Still, no worries about Brexit. I expect Parliament will force a customs union and free trade, a Norway style option, which will rather stymie the mad Brexiteer plan to demolish food standards and employment law, so that’s a good thing. And keep the insulin flowing🙂

Have a good day everyone, it’s the weekend, apparently, so enjoy yourselves, if you can without any decent football.:D

Good morning a 4.1 today and a drum troupe are playing in my head. 😡

My contact lens won’t go in my eye with sight today so there’s a high chance I may walk into a well camouflaged lamppost or other street furniture whilst out!

Have a super Saturday everyone. 🙂

I hope your day improves x
 
Despite two cans of Coke since 5am and suspending my basal for an hour back down to 4.6 - it had better sort itself out because I want to go to the garden centre. Now trying more Coke and caramel 🙂

Take care! I hope you return home unscathed! 🙂
 
Good morning sorry evening got dragged away as I was posting, mates hey 🙂. 3.0 @ 07:00 now back up to 5.3,now up to 7.2 after grub/dinner. Won a few on the local draw so don`t need to buy food for the rest of the week, just need beer tokens.:D Just about to go through todays posts, hope nobody`s in trouble and coping as best as they can, take care folks I would be lost without you.🙂

Well done @Flower, I think I ended up in Iceland's recycle bin.o_O🙂
 
06:01 BS 5.3. :D Didn’t eat anything until the shopping arrived just after 3pm yesterday afterall. Then made vegetable soup & ate that. Started to feel much better twards the end of the day as I feel my digestive system start to clear again. I only ate once but, my BS was quite steady so, the basal dose was correct. Had to drastically cut the Novorapid dose to half the usual, from 24 down to 12 units, for soup as I’ve learnt from past experience & I stayed in the 7’s for most of the day & the highest was 8.8 after the soup!🙂

Definitely feeling hungry this morning, a good sign, & will make a fresh batch of vegtable soup this morning. Then, maybe work myself up to some noodles with prawns & scallops later?🙄

Good morning folks!🙂 Have an easy, lazy Sunday😉
 
Snap @Northerner a 6.9 here too. Another lovely sunny, but I suspect cold, morning. Busy day ahead as leave for our hols this afternoon, staying at airport tonight then eight nights in the beautiful Algarve, one of our favourite winter destinations. Forecast looking good so far, hoping to do lots of walking and may hire a car for a run out, although we’ve covered just about all of the coast in previous visits. I probably will be off line for the duration so good luck in advance to everyone with hospital/GP/ DSN/eye appointments. @KARNAK and @Flower please try and stay upright, I don’t want to spend my holidays worrying about the pair of you! @Carolg keep on walking, you’re doing fab and everyone else keep doing what you do best....surviving! I will be back on 3rd April, which also happens to be our eldest daughter’s 35th birthday.😱 That can’t be right as I’m only 29! Have a great 10 days cos I will! 🙂
 
Good morning folks. Woke to 5.2 on both meter and Libre, I am beginning to think this 2 day old sensor is going to be great, I had a minor low yesterday sensor was 1.0 below meter though I did scan first .
Hope you all h@ve a good day
 
@Flower. I hope you have a much more settled day today

Good morning all. 7.9 for me this morning. Nice and sunny here after a nice enough day yesterday to do some tidying in the garden.
Off to designer outlet with daughter today to look for good trainers at cheaper prices.

Have a good day all

Congratulations on the House Special! 🙂 Good to hear that the sensor appears to be a good 'un, hope that continues for the duration 🙂
 
Morning all. A pleasant 6.3 here for me. I was expecting higher as I threw caution to the wind a little bit yesterday and didn’t test before or after my evening meal.

The hubby and I went to his parent’s for the afternoon and had tea there. His mum was good and asked what sort of foods I could eat beforehand. His dad is also diabetic but. Is under control and eats fairly normally. They made a Quorn cottage pie with vegetables and then we had a fruit salad and diabetic ice cream after. We even had cheese and crackers too. I avoided the grapes in the fruit salad and made sure I had more strawberries and blueberries than anything else. I did have a couple of bits of satsuma and some pineapple with mine. I know the professionals say to stay away from diabetic friendly foods but considering I haven’t had ice cream at all since diagnosis I think one scoop of diabetic friendly ice cream once isn’t exactly a terrible idea. I wasn’t going to have the crackers but couldn’t resist. So whilst not a terrible tea I didn’t want to ruin the nice evening by testing and being dispppointed if my BS shot up too much.

Sounds like you found a very good balance there between enjoying the meal and making good choices 🙂 Good to hear MIL helped by not facing you with a carb-fest! 🙂
