Group 7-day waking average?

Lanny said:
Oh dear, dear, dear! Just back from physio & sitting back in bed with a massive hypo hangover! But, I’ll be prepared next week. 😱🙄

Had an early lunch around 11:15 with my meds, Midday Levemir & Novorapid before heading off to physio at 1pm. More examinations of doing all sorts, forgot to mention last week & this week’s the same, in my underwear so, he can see my shoulders & neck. Although this time he didn’t tie my hair back with the scrunchy I bring with me: I, in italics, can’t do it; he can except that men are clumsy at tying a lady’s hair back! 🙄 My movements & strength had to be reassessed again & now I know to expect that every week! 😱🙄

I am indeed stronger this week so, he’s given me 2 very gentle shoulder stretches to add to my neck stretches. As I was leaving I suddenly felt very weak down my right leg & was limping as I felt it couldn’t support my weight! I alerted the physiotherapist right away who checked my responses, reflexes etc. etc. & I sat in waiting area for it to go away. Then, when I started to just feel the hypo shakes did I realise the reduced Novorapid dose for lunch was still maybe too high especially with all the exertions of examinations: him trying to stop me moving; testing strength. I had no room for a testing kit in the tiny handbag I’ve carried around for ages now. But, ate both bags of mini drumsticks squashies I always carry with me now when out & about. Waited 10/15 minutes before the shakes just started really taking hold then, subsiding & I felt the hypo hangover headache. I was so relieved: it really was a hypo & not something seriously wrong with the nerves on my right side & leg.

After another 30 minutes or so I eventually left the physio hospital & their very nice & relieved staff: keeping an eye on me the whole time. I tested just before posting this at 15:44 BS 7.4 after my appointment when the hypo happened was around 13:35/40 so, it’s not very high after 2 bags of sweets which are = to 4 jelly babies. But, ohh do I FEEL rough: like I had a 2mmol hypo! 😱:confused:

I must have a lot less insulin with lunch next week before going to physio! 🙄

Oh poor you Lanny, I hope you are feeling a little better now, best put your feet up and have a very lazy afternoon. I don’t have hypos so I can’t really understand what they are like but I don’t like the sound of them. Take care x

Just got home from the clinic and had something to eat, provisional results have given me the all clear, the tests have to be followed up, but they are pretty certain it is nothing to worry about. Was a bit stressed when I first got there as when I was examined by the doctor he found a lump in my other breast, so my immediate thought was, this is not looking good, but thankfully it didn't turn out bad.

Thank you all for your good wishes

Very relieved to hear this! @Grannylorraine 🙂

Hopefully the test results will confirm what the doctor has said! 🙂

A load off your mind, I’m sure! 🙄

Starting to feel better now but, yes taking it very easy for the rest of the day! Not had many 2mmol hypos but, they are BAD & exhausting to get over! 😱:confused:o_O

That’s great Lorraine
 
Yes, Ted @KARNAK 😳

Will stuff a test kit in my cape pocket along with the sweets now! Which reminds me! I’ll put back two more bags of sweeties in my cape pocket! 🙄

Been carrying the smallest, lightest handbag with bare essentials since my injury: can’t take the weight of the enormous amounts of stuff I used to carry in my huge handbags; ladies very often do & I wasn’t the only one! I’m MUCH more streamlined now! :D
 
Good morning 🙂I was 5.0 on the Libre before raising my head from the pillow, then 6 minutes later 5.9 - never fails to amaze me just how rapidly levels climb once your feet hit the floor 😱 I did a blood test on the Contour to check for accuracy and got this:

I'm impressed! 🙂 And a lovely flatfish through the night! 🙂
 
Couldn't ask for more!
Today mine's 5.4

Well I never!!

Yesterday it was that time to take The Mad Monkey aka "The Cat" to the V.E.T for her annual MOT. Not too much trouble with rounding her up and getting her in the basket. To cut a long story short, the verdict - in perfect health.

…...Later, I’m in the kitchen preparing lunch and having a few olives as starters. As I tried to skewer the last one, it made a desperate bid to escape by launching itself into the air and skidding across the kitchen floor. At Chez Dez, we obey the 5 second rule about dropped food, so quick as a flash I had it recaptured and eaten. I cleaned what I thought was all of the olive’s skid marks off the floor.

The Mad Monkey by this stage had come out of her sulk and sauntered into view. Moments later, she’s rolling about on the floor with her paws in the air. For a moment, I thought she’d taken a bad reaction to one of her vaccinations but then realised that this was identical behaviour to whenever she has a treat of catnip.

So, I had a good goggle on google and true enough.

As Maurice Joseph Micklewhite would never say, “Not a lot of people know that.”

Have a great day everyone

Morning all, a 7.5 for me today. Off to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford today for a day out.
 
Morning all, 7.1 today, first a round figure then an odd number, Patty is really playing with me this week. Still double figures after evening meals, going to sit that one out for a few more days just to see if Patty is having a petulant phase. My talent for overnight hypos makes bolus adjustments in the evening an extreme sport so I’ll need a bit of prep time for that :D

@Grannylorraine really glad to hear the tests gave you the all clear, hope the follow ups go just as well. Must be a huge relief 🙂
 
Woo woo 5.2 for me
Have a good day all
 
Good morning folks! 🙂

Finally got some e liquid mixed yesterday, 610ml now steeping, time to play with my new rebuildable tank this afternoon I think! :D

5.2 scan but 5.7 finger prick, so close :( lol, did my breakfast dose and proceeded to finger prick again but with my insulin needle as it didn't come off my pen correctly, that was rather painful! 😱

Bruce is away to Glasgow this evening to see The Eagles (if he finds out when his mum & dad are picking him up, don't know how he can leave things so late 🙄)

Have a great day folks! :D
