Group 7-day waking average?

Doesn't low carb work for you? As soon as I get back to healthy eating I start to go down...
 
Doesn’t seem to be, that or I’m missing something pretty basic.
 
Hi folks a nice 2.0 this morning, guess where I spent the day? A&E.😎 Got up for a wee at 04:30 didn`t feel right tested 2.0 it was, didn`t get out of the bedroom, on the floor. Managed to set panic alarm off, paramedics arrived right wrist was at wrong angle, the long and short of it all, dislocated wrist and broke,🙄 plaster we are in. Back to typing one handed, trouble is its the wrong hand.😳 Have to report to DSN everyday for BSL`s, well that's my folly for the day.🙂

Congrats on the HS @khskel.🙂

I`ll post the appropriate passage tomorrow @mikeyB.🙂 If you are interested.

Kin wrist is killing me, hope you all get a good nights kip.🙂
 
Oh NO, Ted you poor old thing, your poor wrist 😱

Hope you get some good sleep, and your poor wrist doesn’t trouble you. Maybe a biscuit or two before bed, just in case 🙂
 
05:17 BS 4.8. Surprised by that! Just got up, for a call of nature, just before 5am & was trying to get back to sleep when I had an asthma attack & had to take two puffs of Salbutamol, have to call it that now as a younger doctor I had for a day procedure op last year didn’t know what Ventolin is! Am just recovering now!

I guess this low waking figure confirms what I’ve begun to suspect; need to lower the midnight Levemir too!

Will have a protein bar & 2 units Novorapid to stop DP rise & try, if I can, to get back to sleep.

Yesterday despite my reduced breakfast Novorapid dose I was lowish going into lunch which, made me think the midnight Levemir dose is bringing too low in the morning which impacts on lunch?

Asthma attack is completely gone now & I’m back to breathing normally. I haven’t had one in ages. I think it was the changes of temperature from my warm bedroom to the cold bathroom & back again to my warm bed? I’ve been forgetful in taking my brown Clenil prevention inhaler & will have to make a more conscious effort in remembering to take it!

A much earlier than planned Good Morning to you all!😉 I wish you all a good day full of sunshine inside & out!🙂
 
Morning all. 6.8 here.

I’m popping into work today to talk to my boss about my return after Easter. Going to see my class too. Looking forward to seeing them but also sort of nervous too. Four months away from the place. To be honest part of me just doesn’t want to go back but go back I must. Need to earn my wage again.

@KARNAK How are you feeling today? What an ordeal you’ve had!!

I hope they understand that you can't just get right back into it, and that they don't expect you to 'make up for the time' - I have had that experience at two companies I worked for, after periods of around 3 months off, and I had to explain to them that just because I had returned it didn't mean I was 100% and firing on all cylinders! 😱
 
Morning all.🙂 A 5.7 on the Libre.😛

Good luck today @merrymunky. What age group do you teach?

Thank you, rain! Sweeping up after yesterday’s building work’ll be a lot easier - I was picturing clouds of dust coating my neighbour’s washline of whites (doesn’t she wear any other colours?!).🙄

Oh heck @KARNAK I am sorry to hear this. I hope it wasn’t too painful last night and that you managed to get off to sleep ok. Can you take Paracetamol for the pain .


On a practical note their are waterproof covers to keep the caste dry when bathing or washing up, I’ll see if I can find a link for the brand I have for my foot. They are Er fun to get on and off and need burping lol.

Here it is
