Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone from my prison cell i.e. the upstairs of my house. I understand that my prison warden will bring me supplies before he abandons me i.e. goes to work.
Anyhow 4.8 for me this morning 🙂
 
Morning all, an 7.8 for me today. Only 3 days at work this week then 20 days off. Camping at brewery at the weekend then off to the Great Dorset Steam Fair next Tuesday.
 
Morning all, damp but the BBC has assured me that it will dry up very soon. Another 7.3, at least I’m consistent! And before you all start nagging, no, I haven’t put a sensor on yet. I might eventually open the box today! 😱 A little bit of babysitting whilst daughter at the dentist but not much else planned. It’ll just be nice to leave the house after three solid days of rain. Have a good day everyone. 🙂
 
Good morning folks 🙂

It's a 5.5 for me this morning, feel god awful though as nose all choked up etc, reason I think they should have their own individual blast helmets at work as I caught this off Bruce as he'd been using the blast helmet his mate with a very bad cold is using :(

Bright and sunny here this morning but think I'm just gonna snuggle on the sofa with feeling c**p and having to be out just after 8am tomorrow

Have a lovely day everyone! :D
xx
 
Morning all. I know what you mean, fellow nervous Libre users. I put a new sensor on yesterday, which was pretty accurate right from the start. Only I woke up this morning of a reading of 'LO'. As I appear to be functioning quite well! with no hypo symptoms, I think we’ll take it that I've been lying on it. It’s now up to 3.8.
 
07:47 BS 5.3. 😱🙂 Very relieved by that! :D My BS was higher than usual all day yesterday & I’m still a wee bit hoarse even now but, worse yesterday!😱 Laboured breathing, at times very short, all day & took my inhalers 3 times, 1 extra time in the middle of the day! Kept actual wheezing at bay but, not very active: played a LOT of golf in bed! 🙄 Hopefully I’ll be over this throaty/breathing thing today? 🙄:confused:

A quite late, for me this morning because of lie in, Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Hopefully BS will be lower today than yesterday! 🙄
 
5.6 for me after a 4.5 and a couple of oat biscuits last night. My trial with 20mg gliclazide got off to a dozy start. The minimum standard dose of gliclazide is 40mg so I would need to take half a tablet. In my pill cupboard I have both 40mg and 80mg pills and, yes, picked out the 80's to take half a one. So starting today I am really on 20mg and will see how that goes. My accidental taking 40mg seemed to put me back where I was previously when taking 40mg deliberately, supporting the idea that, at least for me, gliclazide has some sort of reproducible effect.
 
Another 6.8 for me :(

all started as @eggyg has received her Libre sensors but is nervous about putting one on in case its a bit disappointing with accuracy etc, but we know she'll get there with it! 🙂 xx
 
6.0

may I ask, why the sad face? anything up to 7 is fine so while it may upset or make you feel down, 6.8 is still a fine number 🙂 xx
 
6.2 this morning still in bed with this virus, don't want to worry you @Kaylz but mine started as a stuffy nose 10 days ago. I know it will go eventually just not feeling like it will at the moment and will be missing another run tonight. Oh well I can take my running stuff on holiday with me to make up for this lay off.

@AJLang i hope your warden is looking after you well.
 
@Grannylorraine no this is just a cold, was up coughing with it all night Saturday and that, Bruce caught it at the beginning of the week as he uses the same blast helmet as his mate and think my levels would be on the higher side if it was a virus as well xx
 
Well, I was positively delighted with a 7.4 yesterday, but I am back up to 11.2 this morning. I actually woke up at 6.45 and it was 10.2 but I felt rough, so went back to sleep. I seem to be injecting more NR than I need at every meal as well as increasing my basal and readings are still high and I don't feel well a lot of the time. I have stopped my Metformin the past few days at the suggestion of the consultant but my digestive system has been worse instead of better and I had awful trapped wind (in both directions yesterday... sorry TMI) and just feeling wobbly and yuk but no obvious symptoms of an infection or virus or anything....just feel unwell. Starting to feel a bit down, as most people seem to feel so much better once they start on insulin and I am actually feeling worse at the moment and having to inject increasing amounts of it even eating very low carb although I did stray from that yesterday. Something is not right and I can't decide if it is physical or mental (ie stress and anxiety) causing physical symptoms. Was tempted to have a little too much to drink the other night to see if that helped and it did for a while but when I went to bed I was worse because I wasn't sure how my BG would respond as a result of alcohol and the increased insulin I have been using, so I lay there desperately trying not to panic that I would hypo and couldn't sleep. Of course, being so stressed just sends my BG higher so I really shouldn't have worried. Arrgh! More exercise surely has to be the key, so I am off out now for a good long brisk walk.
