Group 7-day waking average?

Best wishes @merrymunky, I hope it all works out Ok.

7.0 for me this morning. I ate fairly sensibly yesterday, so it was a bit of a surprise - until I found last nights metformin tablet was still sitting there waiting to be taken!
Still at least it could prove that taking it does normally have an effect.
 
Hugs and crossed everythings from me too, @merrymunky.
 
8.0 agh, self-inflicted, somebody left tray of Thorntons in the fridge. :( I have no willpower (or brain come to think of it).

Batten down the hatches!

Morning all. 4.4 this morning.
Currently waiting on a call back from maternity. The hypo on Friday completely wobbled me and since then I haven’t felt any baby flutters. I wasn’t feeling much anyway due to an anterior placenta but it’s worrying me now. I need to see if baby is ok. I’m scared she isn’t.

Hope all is well with you and baby Merrymunky take care x
 
Well another 7 for me today (so that is 3 in a row) but only just as it was 7.9. It came down to 5.3 an hour and 15 mins and a walk down the hill and back up after bolussing but then went back up to 9 once I ate breakfast, despite an increased ratio and normal (weighed) breakfast!
Hate to say it but my basal might need to be increased by yet another unit.
 
@SueEK So sorry to hear you hit the deck. That sounds like a really nasty fall. Hope you are not too sore in the next few days.

@merrymunky I'm with the others.... got my fingers and toes crossed for you but confident that all will be well. Please update us when you can. Hopefully the medical staff will be able to give you the reassurance you need. Pleased you are getting some better readings. Take care!
 
Thank you all. You’re a lovely bunch. I was seen at 10am and after a five minute search my girlie’s heartbeat showed itself nice and strong. I spoke to the DSN who said I had handled the hypo very well and was doing everything excellently.
She had a couple of theories as to why I crashed so low on Friday. One being a baby growth spurt as others have suggested and sapping all my resources. I had also gone to bed earlier that night so my insulatard might have been too close to my novorapid. The novorapid might not have had the four hours it needed to work it’s way out of my system.
Either way the relief to finally for the first time ever to hear one of my children’s heart beating was magical. Obviously I’ve had scans and seen it but I’ve never actually heard it. Lumi was already gone at my 26 week appointment so it was radio silence. I honestly thought for a minute today the same was going to happen as it took so long to find her.

Absolutely delighted for you MM. So pleased you got checked out and we can all breath easy. I can't imagine how long that 5 mins must have seemed before she located your little girl's pulse but how fabulous to hear it!
Feel rather like this baby is this forum's "community baby".... we all feel so invested in her (and your of course) wellbeing. Hope that doesn't sound presumptuous!
 
Haha

Great news @merrymunky, so glad to hear all is well with you and baby. You have a good team around you and you are doing all that has been asked of you. Keep well and I bet you’ve got the biggest smile on your face today, there’s nothing like hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time 🙂🙂🙂 xxx

Good morning. 2.1 this morning even though I had a big pasta meal yesterday evening. I have an appointment with my doctor at 1 pm as I felt a UTI coming on Sunday morning. Just had toast and ginger jam and a JB. The last JB unfortunately and Haribo told me that they do not market JB's in Spain. I asked them why as they sell everything else in their range of sweets but they didn't reply. I'll go to the local supermarket this morning and look for an alternative.
 
Good morning

So started with right arm for bloods yesterday but only properly filled 2 vials and about a third each of the other 2 required so had to resort to the left arm anyway 🙄 right arm very tender and bruised today, left arm not a mark! Was going to keep my joggers for this afternoon as only had them on a couple of hours but that plan was scuppered by a huge Alaskan malamute and a young white alsatian that jumped me on my way down the road, big dirty paws on grey joggers! 🙄

Anyways 4.8 for me this morning, had to pop a couple of glucose chews and hour after tea last night, mustve been the 2 mile walk yesterday before 10am

Still waiting on reply email from abbott, if they dont get in touch by tomorrow afternoon I'll phone but I haven't had time the last few days hence why I used email

Have a nice day folks
Xx

Morning all. 5.9 this morning. Wonder if its the stress of hospital visit? probably.

If 5.9 is stress induced I'd be amazed seen as it's a perfectly acceptable level to be at xx
