Group 7-day waking average?

Grannylorraine said:
7.5 for me, feeling like I am coming down with a cold, great for my holiday. Yesterday despite not eating from 1pm until 8pm my bloods never went below 6.5, normally if I had not eaten for that length of time they would be nearer 4.

I hope that you can shrug off the cold and enjoy your holiday.
 
8.0 @ 8.46 this morning, after a pie dinner last night. It was horrid, macaroni cheese pie from Farm Foods so won't be having that again, definitely not worth the rise in bg. 7.0 @ 8.28 day before.

Had a terribly piggy day today but my excuse is I was at the PDSA with KurtTheCat. Always stressful, it was heaving. He's a rescue cat with bad kidneys so the young lady said it's quality rather than quantity re his life span. Daughter will be devastated if owt happens to him though. Later rather than sooner I hope.

I've put the sprouts on!

:D I'm not bothering with wrapping paper this year as have tons of gift bags I'm recycling so will just wrap prezzies in foil no need for tape then. I've already got posh gift tags ages ago from the charity shop. I'm relying on my Park vouchers coming in November, s'very exciting. I likes something to look forward to. When are you supposed to do a Christmas cake? My daughter says last January! 😱
 
Morning all, a 7.8 for me today. Off to London soon for this year's Thames path challenge.
 
Morning all 6.8 for me with tummy ache. Does Metformin work that quickly, back on 1 a day, am away next week and, thinking of not taking it until my return. Can’t remember having tummy ache last time but don’t want to ruin the week as we plan to be tourists for the week. I have spent two exciting days cleaning, maybe an allergic reaction to that!!!
@Grannylorraine hope you feel better and that you enjoy your holiday.@KARNAK hope you are looking after yourself .
Have you have a good weekend all xx
 
Good morning my lovelies


Well got my prescription yesterday to find the Libre sensors have changed back to the old style boxes, what’s going on here? Also now have to sign for my sharps bin!


Anyway it was a 3.4 for me this morning and only just managed to get to a 5.0 now so it’s too late for me to bother with breakfast now


I’m not feeling great after all that so I wont be doing much at all today



Have a great Saturday folks

xx
 
Good morning . 6.4 with 5.4 scan that will do me .
I remembered my Basal today.
Hope you all have a good day

I actually upped my basal slightly, and my bolus - still woke to 15.1 this morning. I don't know what on earth is going on but I'm getting angry about it.

Could be a rebound from a hypo, where you drop really low in the night and your liver kicks out lots of glucose? Or dodgy insulin? I'd give it another night, and if you can, test during the night to see where your levels are heading 🙂

I'd hold back on the metformin until after your holiday, nothing drastic's going to happen from you not taking 1 tablet a day for a week 🙂
 
Morning all, 5.1 here. Sat up til 1am catching up with daughter, who was back late from an old schoolfriend's wedding. Before we went to bed, we had to evict two of the largest hunting spiders it’s ever been my misfortune to encounter in the wee small hours. Interesting to find out what has the run of the house when we’re normally tucked up in bed!

Apparently its the mating season and they come indoors to do it. Lucky you got the pair of 'em or there could have been a whole family living with you. 😱
 
Morning. A very welcome 6 today. Had a lie in as have a long day, wedding this afternoon, it’s our daughter’s best friend and Mr Eggy is the photographer for the party part. Don’t know what time we will eat or what we will eat so starting off with a hearty breakfast, bacon and tomato sandwich. Then will have a lateish lunch before wedding at 4. So goodness knows what my BGs will be like tomorrow morning! 😱 Anyways it’s a chance to dress up and socialise with folks I haven’t seen for a while, and have a couple of glasses of vino of course and a dance. Have a great day everyone. 🙂
 
For some unknown reason I went up to 15 during the night, which I didn’t correct, and woke up with a 5.2 house special 🙂
