Group 7-day waking average?

I am actually feeling worse at the moment and having to inject increasing amounts of it even eating very low carb

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, or I’m teaching granny to suck eggs, but have you considered that if you’re eating very low carb, your body will be converting protein and eventually fat to glucose, so this needs insulin to balance it? It also means that your body is converting it at a different rate (ie more slowly) than Novorapid is designed to cope with, which may explain the need for more basal. I know some Type 1s do thrive on a very low carb diet, but I've personally always found it easier to eat enough carb at mealtimes to try to match the curve of the insulin absorption. (usually, for me, that’s about 100 carbs a day)

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

@Kaylz It was supposed to have been a confused face :confused: It's just because I was having a good run of middle value fives last month and so far they've been over six all this month. But I shouldn't really be surprised or confused at all because I've come to realise that there really is a diabetes fairy! 🙄

Sorry, I forgot to thank you for your concern, 🙂 I set out at the start to try and crack this thing with science, maths and spreadsheets - wasted my bloomin' time. There is no rhyme, reason or logic to it at all - proof to me the DF does indeed exist. 😱:D

Good evening 6.7 with a 5.5 at 03:00 hrs.🙂 Tested at bedtime and 15.7,😱 I can only think I forgot to take my NR at dinner time, any way 6 units of NR soon had that sorted.🙄 Its very overcast today but still 24.C.😎

I see still a few with the lurgy so more {{{HUGS}}} today.

Take care my pleasant friends and have a safe night.🙂
 
Good luck @Northerner 🙂

05:54 BS 7.0. Just about ok with that! My throat has settled down but, my breathing is slower & I’m still pretty laboured & short of breath. It’s quite cold this morning & it’s dark with overcast black clouds & rain! 😱 Was reluctant to get out of bed for trip to bathroom as my tootsies felt the cold out of the quilt. Shivering, covered in icicles emoji! It’s Autumn already? 😱🙄 Was thinking I’ll be needing the duvet soon: been using a velvet quilt/blanket like I do in spring/summer & just a sheet for the hotter nights; Autumn/Winter it’s duvet & quilt on top for the really cold nights although, I REALLY don’t like that combo as it weighs a ton! 😱

Anyways, an early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Good luck Northerner 🙂
 
A very good Autumnal like morning to you all. A very satisfying 6! And no, I haven’t put on a sensor yet and I haven’t even opened the box ( I sound like Hughie Green!) @Kaylz ask your mum or Google! I have told Mr Eggy he is to make me do it today, TBF he is the one who plugs me I, I can’t do it myself, I can’t reach round because of my shoulders. Give me a break, I’ve only had them a week! :D Have a good ‘un. 🙂
 
its called sod's law, got my first blood test this morning since diagnosis to see if I have achieved lowering my results, 90% of the time they are good so this morning its turned I'm 9.1 😡 now trying to drink loads of water and move more before going to blood test. How frustrating.......:confused:
 
Morning all, 5.7 here, Libre seems to have remained unsquashed last night apart from one sharp little dip.
@Veenorthants, if you’re having an HbA1c, your morning reading today won’t make any difference to that. My surgery always chuck in a spot glucose test as well, for some reason, and by the time I've got down to the surgery my BG level has always rocketed.
Good luck, @Northerner, hope the sunshine isn’t too bright.
 
Good morning! 🙂 Quite sunny here at the moment so hopefully it stays that way until at least 10:30 when I get home as out in just over an hour

It's a 6.4 for me this morning and still feeling pretty grotty lol

@Northerner good luck! @eggyg I asked my mum and I'm up to speed now lol, come on Mr Eggy remember to plug her in today please! (god knows what newbies reading little snippets might think 😱)

Have a lovely day folks :D
