Group 7-day waking average?

@MeeTooTeeTwo thanks for the link, I've bookmarked it to keep handy, no muttering under my breath was done, full swearing out loud was performed on a few occasions though lol

@rebrascora I know I just don't think he should be drinking so soon after a fit, I haven't been sleeping very well since it happened as every time I close my eyes I keep seeing it playing out, thanks they are fading and feeling less stingy now, have one on my right foot as well 🙄 i don't know about the BP I haven't checked it, thought it was best not to after the last few days! haha, had a blood test on Monday to check potassium levels after starting them, so far haven't heard anything
xx
 
@Ditto again don’t know whether to say happy diaversary, it’s a contradictory statement really. Anyhow glad you continue to stay in touch and let us know how you are, you and I both know that everyone truly cares for each other here. Order those strips as you say and concentrate on the future, forget the past and put yourself first, you are worth it, though I get the impression you don’t think so at times, but I certainly do x

Good day folks- sorry you are poorly @Ditto and for anyone else having difficulty at this time

Well I am not doing as good as I could be just now, have been eating more carbs that's probably why.

6.8 before breakfast today
7.2 before lunch

Those numbers aren't too shabby Jodee. Try not to worry, we all have days when the carbs win against sensible. You can start afresh tomorrow. Take care.

@rebrascora and @Ditto, diabetes is so rubbish sometimes and I’m truly sorry you are both struggling. BUT you are both on here and know what to do, we can only encourage you as we all lead our own lives and struggle with different things so will never pass judgement on what we know is a hard journey at times. @Ditto I hope you and your mum feel better soon, it is hard looking after someone else who is poorly when you yourself are not at your peak but glad to hear your family are pulling together. @rebrascora try not to worry about your next test too much, and please replace your hypo sweets pronto. Hugs to you both x

I want to echo this to @rebrascora and @Ditto - your posts have helped me lots already and I am sorry you are both struggling. This is the hardest thing (or one of them I guess) suffering a chronic condition/disease. I hope you both manage to forgive yourselves and get back on track, I am sure it will happen and also sure that medical support teams understand this happening to diabetics especially with everything else going on for you.

The hot stone massage sounds like a great treat @rebrascora - my other half knows not to buy chocs this year, I asked for some new leggings for Pilates. Ha ha - if last year's me could have seen that email! 🙄

5.5 for me this morning and a new needle! 😉

Jodee - they may be higher for you - but the readings are still within an okay range and you know what may have caused the spikes. I am sure you will have some lower readings soon. Hope you're not panicking. Sure you're not. I know I freak out if it is over 6... so not practising what I am preaching here 😉.
 
5.4 this morning. Wondering what it’d take to get down into the 4’s but quite satisfied with 5.4 🙂
 
Well it's a 6.4 from me this morning
 
Morning all. 6.8 for moi today. Up at the crack. Had my wings unclipped re back injury and going off to the lakes to walk around Grasmere. It’s one of our go to simple walks, not ready to get back on the fells just yet. Going up isn’t so bad but my hip/ back/ thigh and knee ( all left) can’t cope yet with coming down. The plan is to reward ourselves with a scone and a cup of tea at the garden centre cafe when we’re done. Any excuse eh? Have a fab day whatever you’re doing. 🙂
 
7.4 today, levels are definitely going upwards in the mornings, think probably as I’m not feeling A1. Definitely something is amiss, still got this low abdo pain but seeing DN tomorrow and will try and get hold of dr this afternoon. Off to have breakfast and catch ferry back home again, will be glad to get back even though we’ve had a good time.
Have a happy day x
 
Morning

7.0 for me, not too happy with it but was majorly stressed last night so guess I've not fully calmed yet, today will be an easier relaxing day (well so I keep telling myself)

Hope you all have a nice day
Xx

Bakers Bun - 6.1.....as long as the bun is low carb, no sugar....maybe made from cauliflower n Brussel Sprouts?
 
Morning all and 8.1 for me on a new sensor although finger prick is an altogether more reasonable 5.7. it's got a day to get its act together before I report it to Abbott.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.1 for this morning

Bit frosty and cold morning but off to work
 
Morning all.🙂 7.2 here.😛

A great big (((hug))) for you @Ditto. Baby steps, remember them? They really helped me find my way when I couldn’t cope...I think the question was: what 1 thing can you do today / this week that’ll make things easier? You just have to think about it...🙂
 
Morning all, 5.1 here. Best for a long time. I can now turn over in bed without waking up, for the first time since bashing my ribs, so managed 6 hours unbroken sleep last night, obv that saw the Dawn Effect off.
