Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 5.8 here, still on a slightly higher basal, but levels seem to be settling, apart from after the slice of Christmas cake yesterday, but I can’t blame that on the damaged ribs. (The whole family is enjoying the irony that I've bought a rib of beef for our new year’s day meal.)
I am sorry but that did make me laugh .
I hope the pain eases soon, I know only too well how painful a cracked rib can be.
 
Happy New Year everyone.

6.5 for me after fish and chips for dinner so not unexpected. been out for my first run of the new year.
Looking good in your new avatar, Happy New Year x
 
Happy new year everyone, 7.1 for me despite a wee glass of white Bailey at 3 am.have a good day and a super 2020 xx
 
Happy New Decade everyone. Hope it brings lots of good things and not too many bad.
Well I am going to turn over a new leaf and start reporting good and bad results here daily.
Amazingly I have a great one for this morning at 8am of 5.0. I can't imagine how that happened as I had far too much to drink last night (nearly half a bottle of red and a couple of rum and cokes.... naughty girl!). Dinner was low carb, high fat and I am pretty sure the fat kept my readings reasonably steady through the night as I was 8.5 at 2.30am. Cut back on my bolus this morning by one unit thinking my liver might still be recovering from the alcohol but despite waiting an hour before eating breakfast and a strenuous walk afterwards, it has gone up to 8.3.... still that is better than the persistent double figures I had last week.
Wish I had thought to change my lancet!.... it might have to wait until next year now! I've just started implementing a weekly needle change on a Sunday morning though, so I am getting a bit better! 🙄

which needle? if its your pen then it really should be changed every time and maybe why you've been having problems xx

Great to see you post again Carol xx
 
Meant to upload this here, my others came on Saturday along with my personalised 52 week log book which I posted a thread about but my other Libre vinyl stickers arrived yesterday, snazzy huh? lol, I also ordered 2 more 52 week log books so I'm well stocked :D xx20191231_101551.jpg
 
Morning, yawning! A much better 6.4 this morning. My New Year didn’t get off to a good start. Unfortunately our, just turned two, granddaughter was taken to hospital yesterday. She had what we thought was a virus, snotty nose, raised temperature, lethargy, no appetite and so on but she hadn’t slept at all the night before and her lips and hands were blue and she was shaking, my daughter called 111 and they sent an ambulance for her. When the paramedics arrived they found her temperature was 40.2, her heart beat was 180 and her blood sugars were 3.2. They gave her some glucose from a tube my daughter said, and Calpol and took her to hospital. To cut a long story short, after many tests, including a flu swab it was found she has a UTI. They’ve kept her in overnight as even with Calpol and Ibuprofen her temperature was still only dropping to 38 and they want to make sure she takes her antibiotics. I was at the hospital with them for 4 hours, Mr Eggy had the other two as my son-in-law was at work. When he got back I came home. The other two stayed over at ours. Hence why I’m up early, woke up and my mind automatically went to the little one, I’m sure she’ll be fine once the antibiotics kick in but she looked so ill yesterday. What a worry. Luckily one of my other daughters only lives five minutes from the hospital and supplied her sister with PJs etc last night as she lives a 40 mile round trip away. Touch wood she’ll be home today and on the road to recovery. Again much to thank the NHS for. 🙂
 
@eggyg so sorry to hear about your granddaughter, I hope she's on the road to recovery soon xx
 
Good morning All, I hope everyone had a good day yesterday My reading for yesterday morning was 7.0 and for today it was 8.4 I seem to be going on the wrong side of where i want to be reading wise not sure if it's down to a little cold i have or my sore throat or what
 
Happy New Year all. 🙂

BG 7.7 @ 6.00am
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.7 for this morning - up an hour earlier and readings increase from the festive 7’s into the working 8’s - maybe coincidence we shall see..

Back to the work house this morning - Oliver has gone and Mr Bumble ain’t too happy, dare I say “more”....
 
Morning all.🙂 6.4 here.😛

Well, Saundersfoot was rammed yesterday - cars parked up verges and all sorts - for the New Year’s Day Swim. It was fab! Lots of very silly fancy dress and a party atmosphere - and all for charity.:D

Hope the little one’s home today @eggyg. What a nasty scare.:confused:
 
Good morning, few pictures to follow so be warned

So this is how we manage yesterday

Quite good levels if I say so my myself and very similar to how Christmas dinner went too, and then this

Day ended higher then I wanted, exactly how Christmas day ended although I was higher than this last week, my conclusion - well I can handle a large meal and dessert but cant nail a sandwich at half 5! 🙄

Anyways woke to a 4.8, couple more days to see if its been a fluke but I think Tresiba will be coming down

Have a great day folks :D
xx
 
Morning all, 5.9 here. Looks a bit foggy out, I'm venturing out this morning, suitably wrapped and pain-killered up, to watch daughter doing one of the extra jumping lessons that our riding stables is doing, which I should have been doing too, had I not face planted off my nag on Sunday, sob!
Hope granddaughter is on the mend,@eggyg, they get so worryingly ill so quickly at that age, but hopefully they bounce back equally fast.
