Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning lovelies. Have seen a significant improvement in numbers the last day or so, pre dinner last night was a SIX, and 2 hours later a 7.5 - and I had carbs. Gliclazide seems to be doing its stuff, there’s life in the old pancreas yet. This morning I’m 7.3. Have a fabulous day all 🙂

Good evening all, so encouraging to read your messages. My bs was 12 point something this morning 😱. Must have been the excitement of my insulin pump being upgraded to Accu-Chek Insight from the Spirit Combo this morning :D. All went well, there were 6 of us having our insulin pumps upgraded to the insight pump & we received 3 hours training by people from Roche. Took a hypo during the training and my DSN gave me Gluco Juice (60ml) which helped raise my bs. Must purchase some Gluco Juice to have with me as I found it raised my bs quicker than drinking Lucozade.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your evening, Paul 🙂

Someone I know gave me 2 bottles of glucojuice, which she gets on prescription
 
Eventually found a spare moment to log on after making breakfast for six, nappy changing, hair brushing and tidying up breakfast dishes! A 7.2 this morning after getting up and carrying baby downstairs and doing nappy etc so a bit of DP I would say. Off for lunch and soft play at 12, then got a lane booked at 10 pin bowling at 2.30, that should tire them ( and us) out! 😱
 
Good morning. 6.1 for me after a six mile walk last night then licked to death by friends dog. Chair sleep and slept like a bear
 
9 for me after going to bed on a 4.9, dropped to 4.1 during the evening and I was just not hungry so did not want to eat any dinner so had 1 Jelly baby, just to lift it, I know 4.1 is not a hypo, but if my levels drop below 4.5 I get false hypos and feel terrible. 6.1 before breakfast, then sitting at my desk, my eyes went all blurry and I could hardly see my screen, doesn't help that a lot of my work is on spreadsheets. Eyes improving now and don't have to drive until 5pm. Feel like I am on a roller-coaster of blood levels now, it went up and down more than a yo-yo yesterday. at least when they were always around the 9/10 mark they stayed reasonably stable there. I recently had my eye screening and that came back good, have my normal eye test next week, so I will mention the blurry eyes it to them, in case it is nothing to do with D, at one point I thought I was going to have to ask my colleagues to call the on-site nurse.
 
Good morning gang🙂

Lovely day here in on the left hand side of the Pennines, sunny and bright, but not exactly tropical.😎

I woke up, according to the Libre, on LO, which a blood test translated as 2.4. I know why, but it’s far too boring to explain. Put that right with a couple of JBs and two dark chocolate digestives with the morning Americano, so definitely not all bad🙂

Anyway, great news about the picture of the Black Hole. I’m old enough to remember when they were just a theory, predicted by Einstein’s General Relativity calculations, but the problem was doing the calculations for a singularity- the result always came out at infinity. Physicists don’t do infinity, so a lot of folk didn’t even believe in Black Holes. Well, Einstein was right, as was Stephen Hawking. This is a game changer in Astrophysics, and a stunning achievement. Funny thing is, Einstein doubted that black holes could exist in nature. They are now attempting to measure smug waves emanating from Einstein’s grave.🙄

So, have a good day everyone, another day on the march of time. There’s so much gravity at the singularity in the middle of the Black Hole that time stops. Don’t think about that today, you’ll get cross eyed.

Cheers🙂

It's not surprising that you feel woozy with levels in the low 4s @Grannylorraine - most non-diabetics would feel a bit light-headed too, as it's at the bottom of your energy levels. Certainly due for a review of that medication, might be worth asking your pharmacist what they think if it's difficult to get hold of the nurse 🙂
 
Good morning 5.9 on a nice sunny day.🙂 Washing all done and dried, isn`t easy with one arm wrapped across one`s chest.🙄

@mikeyB I got cross eyed at the beginning of your post.:D

@Grannylorraine I agree with @Northerner, meds need reassessing.

I`m off to the local club now, we have renamed it the BBC, The Broken Bone Club. Four of us is in some form of traction, have a great day folks.🙂
 
Thanks both Northy and Karnak, I will contact my docs in the morning to speak to the D nurse again. Unfortunately they are closed now for the day. Mornings only on a Thursday.
 
Hi all. Woke to a 7.2 but after breakfast was 6.8. Odd.
 
Morning all and a 5.3 for me although the overnight graph was rather odd. up to about 12 about midnight and then steadily down. No wonder I'm a bit befuddled this morning. Weighed my granola out and promptly put it in the cat's dish.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good Morning all. Disturbed sleep but 5.9 for me. Getting back to normal eating now snacks gone in house.gardening yesterday, so maybe lazyishday. Have retinopathy screening at 0910 so better shake my tail feathers. Have a good day all
 
Morning. A rather high 7.6 for me today. Stress? Got rid....err I mean the grandchildren left last night, so nice quiet day, might put up the ironing board and watch some mindless daytime TV ( and iron of course). Have a good day all, and @Carolg dont forget your sunspecs! 🙂
