Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning

Well was hoping for a good sleep but that wind was horrendous through the night! Weather warnings in force until 11am and I'll check again then, we are supposed to have strong winds until around wednesday although I'm hoping it's a bit calmer tomorrow morning as I've got a nurse appointment at 9:30 for my contraceptive injection

Anyways it's a low side 4.4 for me this morning, need to order some test strips as had some duds (well quite a few actually) so I'll do that in a bit but apart from that it's a day wrapped up on the sofa for me

Have a lovely warm and safe day my lovelies
Xx
 
Morning Folks

No readings over the weekend was too ill to bother much at all. No food yesterday apart from breakfast and only the morning insulin dose as didn’t think I should take insulin on an empty stomach yesterday evening and it all resulted in a reading of 9.3.

Feel better this morning though - another busy week ahead
 
@Rob51 I'd suggest you ask whoever deals with your care what to do in such incidents, as I'm not on mixed I dont have a clue but on basal/bolus you must never stop taking basal and as mixed is both in one I'm not sure it should completely be missed out but as I say ask for advice on such incidents, I hope you feel better soon xx
 
Morning and a much better pre ablutions 6.4. The little town we are staying in was cut off from the outside world yesterday so we just had a walk up Offa’s Dyke to the highest golf course in England, Bradnor Hill. It’s a long way for a game of golf! We were wet, muddy, windswept and lost at one point. It was great fun. We didn’t bump into anyone else, I wonder why? Today is the day of the funeral, hopefully the roads are open. It’s not until this afternoon but we’re going to go into Hereford early. I’ve never been to the funeral of a close friend before, can’t say I’m looking forward to it but I’m here to pay my respects to her and her family. Have a good day everyone.

I hope you manage to get there without any problems and it goes well, my first was when I was about 13 after one of our close friends drowned in the local river, it wasnt easy to get through but then again we were all still kids ourselves, thoughts are with you xx
 
4.8 for me today. 🙂
Calm and clear blue skies (at the moment) - I hope it lasts.
Have a safe day.

Good morning everyone. 10.5 this morning after having a small can of Coke for a 4.6 at 3am. Gastroparesis is having great fun at the moment 🙂
 
6.6 this morning.
Weather here, is the calm after the storm now, and even some sunshine.
News reports for many areas look devastating though. Hope no one is too badly effected.
 
Well I haven't posted for a few days due to being a bit busy and the worse for wear on Sat and being a bit disappointed that a House Special didn't materialise for me but my last few fasting results have been as follows:-

6.5 this morning
6.1 yesterday
7.9 Sat (after a heavy night Friday when I shared a very nice bottle of red with my brother in law whilst out for a delicious celebratory dinner) it took a couple of 1 unit corrections through the night/morning to achieve that reading though)
7.0 Fri
5.3 Thurs (Oh so close to that hoped for HS!)
4.5 Wed
5.8 Tue
On the whole I am very happy with these readings (even if there isn't an HS!) as they are reasonably consistent compared to my usual randomness and pretty much in range.... maybe a year in, I am starting to get the hang of this diabetes lark.... it was my Diaversary on Thurs.
 
5.8 which is not surprising as had a treat filled weekend.
 
Hi @rebrascora , interested in your post but excuse my ignorance. .
What is a 'House Special'
Hope I am not being rude to ask

No of course not!
A House Special or HS is 5.2 which is considered to be the optimum fasting reading to attain. It is really just a bit of fun to provide a target and something to celebrate when achieved even if it is more by chance than good management (in my case at least) although there are some members of the forum who definitely fall into the latter case as they achieve it much more regularly than others. I think I have only managed one fasting HS in the past year whereas some people achieve 2 in a week! Not something to get hung up about but definitely gives you a boost when you achieve it!

Ah thank you so much, I thought it might be a nice bottle of red...
Now I understand and far more iimportant( although the red is attractive! )

Maybe next time...

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS.

.....and looking forward to the Upgrade. I wonder what surprises are in store for us?

Restless night with RLS arrrggghh! A waking NOT but monitor chucked out a 6.4 @ 05:45am. Not bad considering naughty snacks at the midnight hour!

See you all later today or tomorrow. Stay safe and well until we meet again!
