Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks. Not often I make it in here, but I thought I would check in with you all.

A rather disappointing 12.3 for me today. I have had a heavy cold all through Christmas and NY and my basal requirements still haven’t settled.
 
Morning all. I had yet another lie in. Everything catching up with me after weddings, festivities, babies in hospital, man flu, back injury etc etc! Anywes, it’s a reasonable 6.8 for me. I have a nice boring week ahead. I can’t wait! Have a happy Monday. 🙂
 
Morning all, 7.8 for me today.
 
A HS for me today, so I am pleased with that, especially as I had to resort to painkillers and voltarol to ease my achy muscles yesterday, I did manage 14.5km run, which the furthest I have run since October.

I have a Christmas cake sitting on my stairs which was for someone I used to work with, I emailed him before Christmas and no reply, so will be turning it into a tier of my mum's birthday cake as she gets an actual birthday this year and it falls on a Saturday I am going to do a little tea party for her.
 
5.8 this wet and miserable Monday morning.

Have a great day everyone.

Just curious, what date does your mum celebrate her birthday the other 3 years?

Congrats on the HS 🙂 xx
 
Morning all, it’s a whopper today 14.5.

I started a new sensor last evening, it was reading low and suspended insulin to my pump for 4 hours through the night . Wake up time, sensor reading 4.6 I’m actually 14.5. I’ve had words with the sensor and broken my no swearing resolution already.

Have a good Monday if you can. Ted @KARNAK I hope you are ok x
 
Well, a disappointing 7.7 for me this morning but I ate far too much last night, so I only have myself to blame and at least I know why it is high and it's not double figures so I don't feel too frustrated. Mostly low carb high fat food, but that fat must have been on the low burner all night slowly trickling a bit of glucose into my blood. Thankfully I am down into the 5's now so very happy with that.

Hi @Flower I had 2 sensors from the same batch / lot over Christmas that were reading spot on then low then high over 4/5 days with huge difference. I got upset with myself as I thought it was me and eventually gave up and rang Abbott’s who changed both. The one I put on 3 days ago is absolutely spot on and I feel calm again!

Good morning everyone. I'm having fun. Dinner last night was 40 carbs so I had 4 units extended over 6 hours.
2am 4.4 so had 15g fast acting carbs
3am 3.6 so had another 30g fast acting carbs
5am 3.3!!!!!!! so just waiting for another 15g fast acting carbs to kick in......15 minutes later 3.4!!!
I hope this last lot solves the low sugars because I'm run out of my upstairs fast acting carb supply having had five lots in the last 3 hours. Update just been downstairs and had 20 carbs of sweet biscuits and brought another 15g carbs upstairs. Will probably go very high soon with all of these carbs but at the moment really wobbly me doesnt care.
All good fun here.
On the better side when to Moorfields London yesterday and the retinal consultant was happy that I've had no changes in the last six months that require treatment. Go back in six months. Neurology at 9.45am this morning. Then no more hospital appointments until next week!

Oh @Flower . I am sorry to hear your BGs are misbehaving themselves so badly, I hope this lat lot of carbs does the trick and you don’t go too high .

It’s good news about your eyes
 
Good morning folks. A few too many walnuts last night resulted in a flatish line and 6.7.
 
7.6 this morning from me
 
Morning

5.6 for me, flats really should be better soundproof than they are, upstairs phone alarm vibrating at 5am should not be heard by me and wake me up! Had to be when I was actually getting a decent sleep as well :( ah well I'm not one for napping so I'll just be tired the rest of the day 🙄

Hope the rest of you have a good day
Xx
