Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all and a 6.1 for me.

Gigging tonight in exotic Leeds and the news is that apart from the few tickets they hold back for sale on the night it's a sell out.

Should be a belter.

Have a good day and carpe noctum.
 
7.0 (2nd test to show grandson 7.3) this morning and I’m befuddled. Yesterday morning I was 7.7, before evening meal a whopping 8.8, chilli and rice (small portion of rice but baked beans in the chilli), 2 hours later 7.6? Doesn’t make sense to me. I think I ought to go back to being really strict but don’t want to lose any weight, feels like things are getting harder not easier, bloody diabetes gets on my nerves 😡😡
@Kaylz sorry you’re having a rough time, hope Bubbles is consoling x
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.6 for this morning

Looking forward to a bike ride all week and wake up to 50mph winds all day so that’s scrapped - I blame BREXIT come on Boris get us a decent weather deal !
 
5.3 for me this morning. Seem to be on a good roll at present.
Probably main change I've made recently that helps, is going back to keeping a daily spreadsheet count on carbs. I used to do this but thought I had got to the point where I knew well enough what my carb count was - but it seems not!
 
5.8 for me this morning. 🙂

Have a great weekend everyone.

Either 4.1 or 4.7 depending on which meter is more accurate this morning

I was upgraded from the soon to be phased out one touch select plus to the AgaMatrix yesterday so have been testing with both as a matter of interest. One touch gave me the 4.1 and the AgaMatrix gave me the 4.7 this morning. Closer than last nights readings!
AgaMatrix - I didn’t know Aga made a meter. It must weigh a ton!🙄

Morning all.🙂 4.3 here.😛
 
Morning , it's a 6.6 from me today with an average for the week of 6.4 . hope everyone has the best day then can today
Well done @Baz. That’s a great weekly average.😛
 
20.1 here and just tried to vomit.
@mikeydt1 . You must be feeling so rough.

I think you need to call your out of hours Gp service 111, ASAP for help / advise
Please let us know how you get on
 
I’m here! Had a lie in. 7.1 today. It’s blowing a hooley, my poor birdies look like they’re on little teeny, tiny trapezes! Having a lazy morning then getting my glam on as we’re off out with friends for drinks and food at 3pm! That’s the joy of getting older, you go out earlier and you’re home by 9, with your PJs on and watching rubbish telly! Have a great day all, hope you don’t get blown away! 🙂

Excellent! I hope the gig goes well! 🙂
 
Well I managed a bit better last night but still didn't quite make the 8pm deadline for dinner. 3.8 this morning, but not desperately unhappy with that. I had increased my basal insulin by one unit to cover the cheese fest I had with my glass of port to celebrate Brexit, so will cut it back again tonight and hope I get an in range result.

@Michael12421
Wow! Great result....keep them coming.

@mikeydt1
Please drink plenty of water to flush that glucose out of your system and eat as low carb as you can although if you are nauseous and vomiting then probably not fancying anything anyway. Hope the antibiotics work soon on the infection..... wonder if it is those which are making you sick.
Definitely ring 111 and tell them what is going on. If you are unable to keep the antibiotics down you will need a different one or IV, so important that you seek medical help and as it is the weekend, better to ring now as wait until later tonight when things will no doubt be busier.

It’s actually tiny!!! So, so much smaller than my old meter. E9868CD8-207E-4130-B67C-6434FDCD8724.jpeg

I am hoping by now you have spoken to a healthcare provider and are feeling better.

@Kaylz sorrynyou are having a hard time, if it is any consolation, it is my hubbies weekend off and I am ditching him for running and yoga this weekend, the only thing we will have done together is the shop in Tesco this morning.

Thank you everyone for your help yesterday, I decided to stop taking the Metformin, levels were 7 this morning, but did eat a slice of my sons pizza really late last night. But so far today no stomach issues, so not sure if that is because I haven't had any Metformin for 24 hrs or after a weekly taking the other brand my body was finally adjusting. But whatever I will ask the GP if I can't have slow release to prescribe the specific brand that I have less issues with.

Late on parade today as got up late and then food shopping.
 
GOOD AFTERNOON FRIENDS
