Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks. 7.6 @ 9.17am.

I wake very early though and watch a couple of Big Bang Theories before going back to sleep on the sofa. I then measure when I get up. Would this make a difference? Should I measure when I first get up, though it often feels like the middle of the night, 4ish...

I dunno how I was this number anyways, I ate a full tub of ice cream to myself yesterday following a large Melton Mowbray pork pie with potato salad and tomatoes. Felt quite quite ill afterwards. I'm round the bend. I'm going to do an experiment today, actually it's just an excuse so I can eat chips from the chippy. I shall measure beforehand, then an hour after and two hours after that. That might stop me from eating chips in future. They are my bete noir. :( It's torture living across the road from a chippy.
 
Morning all. A respectable 6.6 for me after a slightly higher level yesterday. I have been back to sleep since. Ooops!!!

Let us know how the experiment goes! 🙂 We once had a Forum Food Test with Fish and chips, you can read the results here:

Your slightly higher-than-expected 7.6 might have been due to your liver releasing a bit of extra glucose when you first woke, because it thought you were getting up to stay up 🙂
 
Good morning all, 8 this morning . After yesterday’s disaster with bs meter not working I was given an Accu -Chek Nano meter. This will suffice until next Wednesday when I receive Insight pump and meter. Have a great day everyone
 
12:18 BS 8.3. About the same as yesterday despite the late hour! Very cold last night & my feet were freezing so, took a hot water to bed & eventually warmed up enough to sleep!:(

Just taking my midday meds now & about to tuck into brunch!😛

Yes, I had just started to notice @mikeyB absence yesterday & still no sign of him today! Hope you’re ok! Worried emoji!

I’m hungry so, I’ll just wish you all a good day!😉
 
Hi folks late on parade today, 5.8 rising to 15.7 at 13:00 hrs.o_O Nothing to eat only water to drink, went to Docs for bloods then to hospital to pick up a new meter,
Accu-Chec Mobile. DSN said it would be easier with only using one hand.🙄

Yes @mikeyB is noticeably absent, please let us know if you are able Mike.

A few others I would like to reply too but my right arm is ready to leave said body and one finger left hand typing is really not my forte.🙂 Have a good nights kip folks and take care.🙂
 
If you’re on s smart phone or tablet you can use dictation although, you’ll have to be patient as it learns how you speak & say things: a short explanation or definition helps with the difficult words; Siri kept getting neuropathy wrong so, I followed it with nerve pain until it learnt the way I said it!

It would have been nicer of them to give you a Libre, Ted! I hope you manage a better night 🙂
 
@KARNAK I agree with Northener about Libre being more helpful atm, could you ask them for one even if only on loan till your hand is better. TBH with those hypo’s I think they need to provide you with a CGM with all the bells and whistles.
 
Good morning folks. The sun has gone all shy here it’s hiding behind the clouds.
I am so happy with my new sensor I’ve just got to show you
DA1ACCEC-6D12-4508-8118-4DDBCC4AFB70.jpeg

I woke on 6.2 fingerprick and 11 mins later the scan said 6.0 am well pleased with it so far.
 
Morning all.🙂 4.6 here.😛

I’m hoping the rain’ll stay away today and let me get back in the garden/jungle for more triffid-trashing.😱:D The garden must’ve been lovely...before it started engulfing the neighbourhood, hahaha.😱😱😱
 
Morning. 7.6 today. Again I’ve not slept well as I am feeling under the weather. I’ve had what I think is cystitis on and off since Sunday and last night was not a good night at all. Pain in my lower abdomen woke me up a lot and I feel very ropey.

Husband wanted a trip out today and I might have to let him down gently. I think I might need to see a doc about this as it has been. It’s than three day’s so I don’t think it is going to clear up ok it’s own. Trouble is, of course it is the weekend so I can’t see anyone. I even checked the online booking system and no free appointments will the 18th. Might have to try and get an emergency one on Monday.
