Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks! 🙂

Such a beautiful day here again, had a 5 minute pelt of rain yesterday but brightened back up straight after

5.0 again for me this morning, had to do some online shopping last night so I have new bra's on the way (needs must when the bone snaps ya know 🙄) nothing fancy mind, its all about the comfort! :D

@KARNAK sorry to see you've had another rough time Ted, hope your feeling better soon! ❤

Hope you all have a great day! :D
xx
 
Six days since I stopped the gliclazide and the 4's have disappeared, 5's all but gone, a 7.2 this morning and a 10.3 after breakfast yesterday. We shall have to see where the HbA1c goes to in a couple of months but if nothing else I have finally got some data suggesting that the pills were actually were doing something.
 
Morning all, a 7.8 for me today.
 
Yippee! :D I did indeed make it through tomorrow’s weekend final round in 2nd. place & will get another finalist medal with my number on it! 😛😎
 
Good morning it’s a Friday 5.1🙂

Going to a cricket match today and it’s pouring down after not raining for weeks. Picnic and waterproof in rucksack ,love to pay to sit in the rain waiting for match to be abandoned 🙄

I hope things stabilise for you Ted and you have a safer day.

Nice to see you Amanda grr to the rubbish cold 😡.
 
Hi folks, a bit late today 4.8.🙂 Silly me went hypo last night went down on the floor and set off the panic alarm,😳 automatically sets the Paramedics on call. Couldn`t get off the floor, intercom is going nuts managed to get up onto the bed and tested,1.7. Direct link to son, he`s on the phone to me can`t get to it, after a packet of JB`s and a few gluco tabs got back up to 3.1. Managed to get to the phone which was non stop ringing and spoke with son, no Paramedics yet 2.5 hours into problem.🙄 They never did turn up just rang me and asked if I needed help? a polite no was the response I died 2 hours ago.😎 Well back too today, I had two chips at lunch time 14.8😱 Back down to 2.8 at the moment big D is so much fun.:D

Congratulations @Robin.🙂

@rebrascora thinking of you, {{HUGS}}}.

Sleep tight my friends, speak with you in the morning,🙂
Crumbs how scary, I do hope you are feeling ok now. Do take care x
 
5.8, gained a 1lb this week, and very stressed as my Amazon and Paypal accounts have been hacked, had to take a day off of work to sort this out as I feel so overwhelmed. So not a good day, need to get my eating back on track and get those numbers down again.

Really sorry ot hear that you have been hacked :( I hope that you haven't lost anything because of it.
 
Good morning folks🙂

In disgrace this morning.10.2. I'm pleading not guilty, mind, I was just checking my BG before bed, because it felt a bit low, and it was. LO. A blood test confirmed this as 1.8, for future Libre reference. Anyway corrected that, and obviously overdid it in my brain addled state. Then fell asleep on the sofa again.:confused: Oh well, never mind, I had my bloods done last week for my diabetes argument in a week or two. Argument, because I was supposed to be referred for a pump. I should have had one in Scotland, but the pump clinic was in Paisley, 90 miles away including a ferry trip. Slightly impractical. The pump clinic here is an outreach clinic in Clitheroe hospital 4 miles away.

Speaking of LIbres, I phoned Abbott, who were their usual helpful selves, because my reader wouldn't update. Apparently, it is new enough to do it, and this is the first time its happened. The computer said download complete, but the reader stayed the same. So they went through all the serial numbers, and type numbers, and decided it was a mystery. The new one should arrive tomorrow. Its nice to be unique.:D

As if.:D I bet it has happened before, it's the last resort of many a company, including car manufacturers, as they pull you out of the ditch because your brakes have gone AWOL. So it's not unique, but it's nice to be at the forefront of what is bound to be a steady stream.:D

Two things being fixed this afternoon, first the riser recliner chair which is definitely happening, and second the boiler fix which is promised. Then I can stop carrying a boiled full kettle of water from the kitchen into the bathroom just using one crutch ( which is neither healthy nor safe) so that I can have a shave and superficial wash. Bit like in the WW1 trenches, but with less blood and death.:confused: Mind, I don't get disciplined for not shaving, I just don't feel right.:( Be nice to get the shower back, then I can sit down to do the legs😎

Have a good day everyone, weather a bit soggy, but should improve over the weekend then we can start complaining about the heat again.🙂

That's definitely a bit low 😱 Hope you manage to get boiler and recliner fixed 🙂 I was fortunate to be given a new reader when I got the sensors so presumably up to date 🙂 I set up my phone to scan my sensor last night, but I don't think I'll be using it as I'm not really one to carry my phone around everywhere. It's also about 3 times the size and 5 times the weight of the reader and sounds like the 1812 overture when it scans, instead of the polite little beep I get from the reader! 😱 🙂
 
Afternoon folks. I could have sworn I did this morning but I think I may have got distracted, you know with filling the dishwasher, getting showered and babysitting. Well a 6.6 today, and that’s after upping my Levemir by one unit last night. Determined to get back into the 5s like in the “old” days. Enjoy the rest of your Friday, storms are forecast for us but it’s actually quite pleasant at the moment. I’ll try and not get distracted tomorrow. 🙂

Sleep tight my friends, speak with you in the morning,🙂
Am I correct in thinking you’re more of a Type 3c Ted? Is it at all possible that your pancreas is chucking out a bit of your own insulin? Hence the hypos. Apologies if this has been mooted before.
 
Good evening 7.6, a wet but warm day, once again thank you for your kind words.🙂 DSN thinks the heat is affecting my BGL dramatically, my daughter in law is also a T1 on a pump, she stays out of the sun until she comes to Paignton then she lets her hair down, I wouldn`t mind but she`s bald.o_O:D

Full bloods on Wednesday Elaine including c-peptide, pancreas is definitely dead, I know I went too its funeral.😳

What`s that all about @Grannylorraine? hacked, hope you were able too sort it out.

@KARNAK sorry to see you've had another rough time Ted, hope your feeling better soon! ❤

Thanks Kaylz love to Bubbles.🙂

Thankyou Sue, just got to keep the figures higher.🙄

Hey Amanda were have you been? Great to hear from you although figures are a bit high but I`m sure you can get it a bit better. Luv to you. xx🙂

Hi Alan aka @Northerner, stayed a lot higher today above 10, I got control except my BGL`s drop very quickly with no warning except face meets floor,🙄 I now wear a feathered pillow on my face, I always wondered why they called it duck down,😳 mind you it makes a great passport photo.😛

Take care @Hazel {{{HUGS}}}.

Take care folks, safe night.xx🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 5.1 for me today 🙂 Had a bit of a shock last night - woke for a pee and tested, it showed 'LO' 😱 Since I didn't feel the slightest bit 'LO' I did a fingerprick and it was 5.6 🙄 I hadn't been sleeping on the sensor, so resigned myself to calling Abbott this morning to report a faulty sensor. However, subsequent readings have been fine :confused: The shame is that it does skew the reporting by showing these unrealistic lows, but at least the blood test should reassure the DSN 🙂
 
06:46 BS 6.3. Not really waking as I’ve been awake since around 02:30. Could only sleep a couple of hours last night! o_O:confused:

Yesterday was very exciting towards the end of the day as Rory McIlroy charged up the back 9 chasing Birdies in a brave attempt to make the cut: at +1; ALMOST making it but, JUST missed it at +2. A very emotional interview afterwards made me tear up! :(

Of the 3, Rory, Darren Clarke & Graham McDowell, only McDole, the way his name should be pronounced according to the Northern Irish way, JUST about made the cut at +1. He’ll be going out early today in the worst of the weather before the leaders start later in better weather: forecast is bad this morning! Still I’ll cheer him on as I watch the live golf starting at 9am. 🙂

I tried sleeping after taking my midnight Levemir a bit early around 23:30 but, I was hungry so ate just before bed around midnight. I kept forgetting to eat yesterday & didn’t eat much: too distracted by the drama. So, when I got up 02:35 BS 9.0 so, it’s dropped a bit after eating late VERY late last night!o_O:confused:

I’m just waiting until 8am to play the final round of the virtual golf today & see what number I finish at? Then, the real golf! 🙄😛:D

An early Good Morning to you all! 😉 Have a Wonderful Day! 🙂
