Group 7-day waking average?

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.8 for this morning

Bit nippy on doggy walk was planning to start evening bike rides but it’s still a bit dark when I get in so maybe leave it for now

Very sorry to hear this @wirralass :( I don't think it would have been diabetes-related, it does sound more like blood pressure and your need for water would suggest dehydration. Are you on any medication that might list what happened as a possible (if rare) side-effect? How do you feel now? I hope, much better {{{HUGS}}}

..and @SueSk
I take meds for high B/P At the last count it was 138/60. Nursie was happy with that on fri last but I'll read the patients info to check side effects. Thank you. I've felt fine since Sunday.
Off to Urology this morning to have bladder scan! Have to have a full bladder til after the scan! Eeek! Just hope I can hold it in til then ~ ALWAYS panties handy just in case!!! TMI !!

Morning All, well I've got a 5.3 today
 
5.7 this morning. Just checked for snow but being central London the white light reflection through the window is coming off a dumped fridge lol
 
Morning all, 5.8 when I woke, crawled out of bed and into the car to drive to son's house,( I’m babysitting his sofa delivery today). Had to scrape the car at 6.30am, arrived at sons house to find him doing the same before he could leave for work. It rained really heavily at 2am, then froze, I had to yank the frozen car door open before I could get in!
 
Reporting a 4.2 and a slight dusting of snow. 🙂
Not planning on going anywhere today - have to wait in for the delivery of some more goodies from Amazon. :D

Keep warm y'all.

Morning all. A cold one here, allegedly, I wouldn’t know as my thermostat is stuck on “high”, hence the lateness of the hour. Would like to say I had a lie in but that’s not true, I have just tossed and turned all night battling menopausal hot flushes! TMI? Anyways, enough of all that. Clickety, click, 6.6 on the Richter scale. Snow on Skiddaw again, no, I haven’t been up it, I can see it from my bedroom window! Bit of shopping to do, ironing too but I MUST exchange my 7 litre sharps bin as it’s threatening to overflow! So off to the GP surgery sometime today. I really don’t know how I contain myself sometimes! :D Have a terrific Tuesday. 🙂
 
5.6 for me this morning. Lowest morning reading I've had in a long time.
The only difference yesterday was a return to exercise, so I guess that proves the point.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS

OMG I've just tested a 3.1 Arrggghhh! Wtf is going on?! Not happy with this at all so tested again twice, this time it was 5.7 and 5.8 that's more like it so shoo off DF!
Sunday waking ~ 6.5
Monday waking ~ 6.1

On Saturday I had homemade veggie soup for my evening meal at 5:30pm with a very small piece of naan bread and a digestive bikky with a cup of Chamomile tea. I didn't test pre or post meal coz I knew I wouldnt spike.

Around 10:30pm I began to feel woozy with a whining sound in my head. I thought I was going to faint so I got down on the floor. When I tried to move, I couldn't. In my fuzzy state I knew I needed to drink water but it was out of reach on the table. I tried to get up again but I couldn't ~ neither could I test coz my meter kit wasn't nearby. I doubt I could have done so anyway.

I found myself drifting in and out consciousness, scared stiff is an understatement. After about 2 & half hours I started to feel a little better but I still couldn't get up from the floor. I gradually wiggled my way on my stomach to the kitchen hoping to get a glass of water. I lay there, for how long I do not know.

Anyway after a while I started to feel more like myself and was able to stand up verrrry slowly! What happened is not an isolated coz I had a similar experience a month or so ago. Daughter took me to A&E the next day. I had a scan of my head but it was clear. I consulted my GP the next day who arranged for me to have blood taken. Result nothing untoward. So I'm wondering if Saturdays incident is Diabetes related?!
Rant over, thanks for 'listening'
Take care folks and stay as well as you can.

Hope you're feeling better!
 
Well a very disappointing 9.8 for me this morning but again my own fault as I couldn't be bothered to cook myself a proper evening meal and just picked at a few things like a couple of sausages and some cheese and didn't bolus as no appreciable carbs but gave myself an extra unit of Levemir to cover the fat and protein which clearly wasn't quite enough.
Got it down to 4.8 by lunchtime today though with some good old fashioned manual labour turning my manure heap.

@wirralass
Really sorry to hear about your wobbly episode. That must have been very scary. Please do report it to your GP. Especially when it has happened before and keep your phone close at hand so that you can at least call someone for help if it happens again. I know I am the worst person to give such advice as I am a terror for leaving my phone lying, but I think you need to make a concerted effort with such an unpredictable/sporadic problem.
Good luck with your bladder scan and holding all that fluid. Just the pressure of knowing I had to hold it would make me need to go!... Maybe take a cork!
 
@Michael12421
Great to see you got a good reading this morning. Hope you can maintain a string of them and that you are over the worst of your cold.
 
Stairway to Heaven - 6.7.....yep, early rise 5am and its high. I need later starts and get 5s, oh well, good to have work though 🙂
