Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all from a damp and squelchy Cumbria. A very ordinary 6.4 for me today. My sensors arrived yesterday, haven’t even opened the box yet. I have updated my reader though so I’m ready to rock and roll. Will pop one on later. Quite excited, it’s been over a year since I last used one, please be a good ‘un! I don’t think there’s any rain left in the sky after yesterday, absolutely torrential most of the day, so going to venture into town this morning for some bits and bobs. Have a wild Wednesday everyone. 🙂
 
Good morning 5.6 after a full fat small can of Coke at 3am for a 4.2 and then an 80% TBR from 5am to 7am. I can now confidently tell anyone at my diabetic appointments that there is absolutely no pattern to my overnight levels 🙂
 
Another long sleep and lie-in for me. I must be catching up on all that insomnia - call me Rip Van Winkle from now on. Still it's done me good today, only 5.1. 😎
 
Good morning folks 🙂

Yesterday was filled with ninja showers but no thunder like was predicted, today looks like it's going to be much the same 🙄, not sure if the postie is past yet but I'm sure hoping not as was expecting my adapter today, mum's had a call from the Dr surgery, apparently they are having problems getting hold of the Sayana Press contraceptive injection after switching us to that almost 26 weeks ago so she at least has to go back for a Depo, I'm not due until the 3rd September so we'll see if they've sorted it out 2 weeks before when I order my Sayana

It's a 5.8 for me today

Have a great day folks :D
xx
 
Good morning, all aboard the glucose roller coaster....9.8 when I woke up for after a 3.1 in the night. 🙄 Oh diabetes please do clear off and leave me be just for a short while!😡

Waiting in for my pump supplies. I just love the 'your package will be delivered by End of Day' - click here for more details.... and the more details are 'End of Day'. o_O
 
Morning all. Woke to a 5.3 this morning after an insulin increase to 5 units. I had a call from the diabetic team to see how it was going yesterday and since my readings have been in the 6s after that initial day they’ve increased the dose.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

Did it.🙂 Woke up on 5.2 this morning, but getting out of bed bumped that up to a heady 5.4. Nice uncomplicated straight line, too. This is all probably due to low carbing and an increase in Creon. Lost 2kg so far, but a slight increase in hypos. None dramatic, just drifting low. A work in progress.

Torrential rain last night, with an odd bit of thunder, but not too bad this morning, should be nice and sunny later when I go down into the village to pick up a prescription and see if the river is still confined within its banks.🙄

None of this is real, anyway. Read an article in the latest New Scientist by a professor in the US who thinks ‘reality’ is a construct in our brains. Where does that cup of tea go when you aren’t looking at it? Do I exist when I log off this forum? Get your heads round that concept, and you’ll understand dementia. These folk don’t lose touch with reality, they lose the ability to construct a reality that’s consistent with yours.:confused:

And with that little bombshell, I wish you all a happy day in your own reality.🙂

Nice to hear they are keeping a close eye on you, I hope you find it comforting. You are doing really well and long, long may it continue x
 
@mikeyB
Many congrats on your House Special. After your recent erratic readings that must be all the more welcome. I also agree that very low carb makes things so much less unstable.

Interesting about the reality concept. I know my perspective on things shifts very radically depending on my state of mind from one day to the next.

I'm reporting a disappointing 9.5 this morning.... maybe due to not getting my full 10 units of Levemir the night before but 3 units if NR and a brisk half hour walk brought it down to 4.5. Then fruit, yoghurt and seeds breakfast took it up to 6.4 and now 9.8 after a lunch of ham and cheese salad with a single slice of orange and half a slice of apple and half a carrot, which is pretty disappointing considering I was eating out and passed on all the sandwiches and cakes and cream scones and bread and potatoes that were on offer and everyone else ate and enjoyed. It was an interesting trip out to a nearby cottage industry cheese factory, where we had a guided tour and explanation of the whole process and saw all the racks of different cheeses maturing and got to taste some of them at the end and then lunch in the on site loft café.
Lovely, blustery sunny day here so far. Long may it last.

I won’t rest easy till I’ve had my viability scan on Friday. I’ve been panicking because I haven’t had decent progression on digital tests. They still read 1-2 weeks when they should be at least 2-3 weeks and ideally 3+ now. I am getting nice lines on other tests though. I just want to know that all is going well.

Of course you do, that is understandable and I’m sure you will be anxious throughout, I know I was. Remember there is only so much you can do and you are doing it, you have all the clinical staff keeping a close eye on you and everyone is rooting for you. Please let us know how your scan goes and then hopefully you can start to be able to be a bit more positive and enjoy your pregnancy, I do hope so xx
