Group 7-day waking average?

morning my lovelies 🙂

A 4.8 for me this morning

A beautiful day after the horrid day we had yesterday but Bruce is back at work today so I'll be in making sure Bubbles doesn't look near his tail, he's done very well since the bandage came off and hasn't went for it once yet so must've been the heat and that the bandage was causing that was driving him potty, looks like we might be able to take his cone of shame off soon! :D

hope you all have a lovely day! 🙂

Very cosmopolitan! Vote before you go! 🙂
 
Morning all. Another splendidly sunny day. A 6.3 for me today. Had a lovely spa day yesterday followed by an extremely excellent lunch which I over bolused for and like @Robin spent all evening fighting my first ever “ stubborn” hypo. Not pleasant, as I actually felt really quick sick and after three jelly babies ( not my favourite food) I couldn’t eat any more. Was still at 3.3 so managed a bit of Hovis granary with a teaspoon of jam. 8.7 before bed! It was worrying because I felt so ill I didn’t want to eat at all, I didn’t have any full fat drinks in but TBF I don’t think I could have stomached it. Any suggestions in case it happens again? I feel fine today and off to get my wig bashed this morning. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. 🙂

Pleased to hear Bubbles is improving everyday.

Joining you on the 4.8 step today after 3rd night without Stitagliptin, hoping the pharmacy gets it in today, but seem to be doing alright without it at the moment, but not sure how long before the effects of not taking it will kick in, but maybe worth talking to my specialist when I see her on 3rd June about taking a Lowe does of either that or one of my other meds.

I know what you mean, after my fourth bit of shortbread yesterday, (two in the afternoon and two in the evening, result of exercise class followed by a bout of window washing and pruning) I'd rapidly gone off them, and they’re my favourite biscuit. I hate eating when I don’t actually want to, ie, after a good lunch, etc. I can’t do fizzy full fat drinks, the fizz just makes me feel bloated, and I agree with you about jelly babies, and fruit pastilles, the slight acidity of them means I really can't face any more after the first few. My usual 'go-to' is those little Lotus biscuits. I always find them moreish, and they do the job when I'm just keeping levels topped up, and not dropping like a stone.

You definitely should have that conversation Lorraine 🙂 Your readings have improved so much in recent months and this missing of meds pretty much confirms a reduction is needed 🙂

I'm the same with fizz - a lot of parents use apple juice for their kids - flat and sweet 🙂 It's a nightmare when you don't feel like eating or drinking :( I remember a few years back when I was really ill and couldn't keep even a sip of water down - I had to try and balance my insulin so that my levels didn't go too high and more importantly didn't drop too low because I would have been unable to treat it 😱 :( Eventually, I found it possible to nibble on some ginger biscuits and sip sweetened lemon and ginger tea.

Ginger is great for counteracting the urge to up-chuck! I had a couple of ginger biscuits or a small bag of crystallised ginger on me at all times in early pregnancy, when I had very bad morning (well, all day) sickness.
 
I had a lecture on a type 1 Scotland group on facebook as I asked what other sweets people used and was promptly told I should be using fizzy or sweet drinks which I absolutely cant stand (the guy using mars bars didn't get the lecture though) I only asked as not keen on jelly babies, I don't know if youd like them or what @eggyg but I've bought the mini packs of drumstick squashies, each wee pack has just ovr 11g carbs and almost all sugar, fit in my new bag much better too as they are so flat, a member of the facebook group also mentioned that the wee mini packs of skittles were good too and apparently each skittle is 1g carbs xx

he's certainly more himself, its great!! :D

I agree with Northerner that if you've missed it for 3 days and still seeing good results it could probably be doing with being reduced so good luck with your specialist!! 🙂 xx
 
10:15 BS 6.9. Up late again so, can’t complain. My shoulder really ached last night, which it hasn’t done, so badly, in a while & I still feeling now I’m up. :(

I too am still waiting on prescription items, yesterday the chemist did deliver but, only half of it & I rang the health centre & they said the other items were on another prescription which the doctor hadn’t signed yet. So, hopefully today at about 2- 4pm. I had my last blood pressure pill yesterday & it’ll be a bit late today! Ironic that it’s the BP meds that are delayed as the stress & worry of not getting them is pushing my BP: pounding in ears! 😱

Going out yesterday really tired me out. I walked the 3500 steps slowly in stages & rested at the bus stop, about 2000 steps, just to make sure I’m not getting tired & forced myself to rest for 10/15 minutes. About 5 minutes later I felt the tingles starting in my spine but, they were ONLY tingles so, nicely judged. Did the other 1500 steps to the chemist & that palaver, won’t go into again. Then, sat outside on a convenient park bench for 15 minutes before walking back to the bus stop, rest, & back home! I have to plan my journeys now in terms of where I can rest & force myself to sit there, not easy as I’m impatient, before going off again! Also, mustn’t go too fast, very hard too as I’ve always been a fast walker, especially when thinking: always went for a walk, in the past, when I wanted to think; now saying to myself in a mantra not too fast, not too fast.....🙄

I’m feeling proud of myself as I did 7000 steps yesterday & amazed myself! But, I’m still dog gone tired today. Sleeping emoji!

Anyways, enough about me. I wish you all a Good Day full of sunshine inside & out, although in case of the undead a black parasol is needed against the sun? :D😱😉
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I had a long lie in after a fairly horrible day yesterday. Had the opposite problem to a few folks this morning. Not chasing persistent hypos, but chasing high BGs. No idea why, but I suspect after a couple of decades on Humalog, I think I might need a switch to Novorapid to tame such events. Can’t be doing with intermittent efficacy, it makes control a bit of a lottery.:confused:

That’s enough moaning, I woke on 8.2 and rising after a night in range. That’s the evening Levemir running out, so morning Levemir bunged in the keep the DF at bay.🙄

Daughter sent me a photo yesterday. It was an advert in Lancashire Life for his posh nursery, with grandson and a few mates looking happy and content, and how an education at the junior and senior school will provide a wonderful experience. Aye, right.

He’s being brought up wrong, that lad, don’t know where my socialist/anarchist genes have got to:D And his dad has turned him into a Burnley supporter.😱

Have a good day folks. Another bright sunny day, here, almost summer. And just two big sleeps before my new wheelchair arrives...🙂

I can’t stand apple juice but ginger biscuits are a good idea. Might get some in, because I rarely hypo I have become complacent, yesterday was awful, the jelly babies had gone really hard and were very unpalatable and made my mouth so dry. Last night I was convinced I would never eat again, of course that didn’t last long!

Oh drumsticks! They take me back to the old days, I take it these aren’t on a stick? I will look out for those, thanks.
