Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 6.7 on a dull day, just managed to catch a hypo🙄 it come on so quick good job JB`s and glucose tablets are in every room.🙂 No real problem with local Lidl & all the other local stores but the larger ones outside of the main town have been stripped of essentials.😡 There`s a lot of sadness on the forum today and some anger but I`m afraid we`ll have to bite the bullet and abide by the rules,:( I think Skype and social media will be busy.

Nice HS @Freddie1966 congratulations.🙂

Take care my friends we`re in it for the long haul, stay safe and vent your frustrations and the good bits here.🙂

Morning all, 4.5 here, and that was with dropping the half unit again. Diabetes Fairy, where are you, I need a word!

She’s visiting me at the mo, and I’m giving her a right ear bashing right now I can tell you, shall I send her over when I’ve finished
 
5.2 this morning!!!! :D :D:D
I am just so pleased. In the 9 years or so since I was diagnosed this is the lowest I've ever been.
And thanks to all you folks on the forum for helping me get there.
When I joined a few months ago, although I had been ticking along fairly well in control for a long time, I had never managed to achieved the lower readings I would really like.
It is all the extra knowledge, information and tips that I have found on the forum that has got me there.
Thank you everyone.
 
Good morning folks . Despite increasing my Basal to 11 units yesterday , I woke to 10.6 on the finger., had quite a bit if hill climbing yesterday too o_O
So half a unit added again today , this is all the way up from 5 units .

I have only read a few posts so far, I hope all is well with everyone
 
Hi all, was at 7.8 this morning.
It's a mad house at work!!! Still not 100% sure if I should be here or not. It's scary times, just not knowing what I should and shouldn't be doing!

Almost certainly coronavirus! Said in some sort of Welsh accent, and maybe a slight variation in spelling. Coronafaerus?
 
Update, just thought to look on the Cymru bit of BBC News website, coronafeirws.
 
I have just been told at work that this week will be my last for the foreseeable future. They apparently went through every member of staff and decided who should isolate, unfortunately they deemed I am one of them. Thankfully they will pay my full wage (bless the NHS) but I am sad about it, I love my job and do not want to stay at home. I am more concerned about my son and family as we have our grandson and they will have to take time off as they have no other childcare and they will struggle financially. I will certainly miss seeing all my grandchildren and children but having talked to a couple of the GPs who have friends in immunology, respiratory etc the situation needs to be taken very seriously indeed. Take care my friends and be sensible to look after yourselves and loved ones xxx
 
Well, I woke up at 6.30 feeling shaky and headachy so assumed I must be hypo. Got up and tested.... 4.8. Went back to bed because I felt rough but got back up 15 mins later thinking I better recheck just to be sure, as I really didn't feel good... 5.1. Went back to bed reassured it wasn't a hypo but still feeling rough. Woke up at 8.30am feeling quite a bit better to find I was 3.9! I guess my Levemir is kicking in with a bit of a peak 8 hours after I take it.
Anyway, I didn't treat the 3.9 with hypo treatment, just jabbed myself some Fiasp for breakfast, weighed my low carb granola, washed and cut up my berries and added yoghurt and seeds and cinnamon and started eating breakfast (30g carbs total). Ate half of it straight away rather than wait my usual 45 mins because I was low to start with and was up to 7.4 an hour and a half after injecting. Ate the rest of my breakfast 15 mins later, mucked out 4 horses and trimmed the feet of 3 of them which is exertive work and I was down to 4.0 by 1.15pm. That allowed me to have a nice bolus free half an apple!
My diabetes seems to be such a delicate balancing act!
 
Bit late ...... manic day. Woke on a 7.4.
Been told to stay home from tomorrow. I have stuff I can do from home but not really the same as totally mad, no 2 days the same, fun filled days with slightly annoying at times but inquisitive kids. Difficult really and feel so guilty. Never had a time like this before and feel I’m putting work on others.

Hope everyone else had a good day. Take care all.
 
Good morning 🙂 5.7 for me today 🙂 Hope everyone is doing well 🙂 I think I'll have a day watching David Attenborough documentaries today, I've been reading/watching far too much coverage of this virus and it's been making me feel a bit anxious, which has the result of triggering my asthma, which then makes me more anxious! 😱 Bring back Brexit, that was far less scary! 🙄
 
An unsurprising 6.9 today even though I’m not really eating much, can’t face food. Last day at work, or supposed to be, my colleague has the virus and is really poorly, another away on holiday and the third in her 70s so been told like me to isolate. Think I will have to go in tomorrow to at least cover the urgent and two week rules, people are still ill even if it doesn’t start with corona. Can’t work from home as don’t have all the equipment I would need. Daughter in law ended up with pot noodle for tea last night as absolutely nothing in Sainsbury’s - disgraceful.
Had a little cry last night at the thought of not having cuddles with my lovely grandchildren- I love them so much, am tearing up now just thinking of it.
Ok, chin up, back straight and get on with it I think. Take good care everyone xx
 
Another early morning for me again. 5.9, which is a miracle as my anxiety levels are off the scale. I haven’t felt this bad since Mr Eggy was having all his heart attacks. We’re off for our last shop this morning, hope we are able to get what we need, I don’t want to burden our daughters too soon when they have their own lives to get on with. Said goodbye to eldest and her tribe of three last night, was a strange feeling that this could be it until June. Will see youngest tonight and middle one and her daughter tomorrow and then that’s it. We are determined that after what we have been through in the last two decades a bloody virus isn’t going to kill us off. So there’ll be no cheating, we’re in it for the long haul, it’s for the country’s sake as well as ours. Take care everyone and stay safe. 🙂
 
Good morning . I hope all is well with everyone.
8.5 when I woke up at 06 30.
I thought I chucked the DF out yesterday but she came back.
