Group 7-day waking average?

Biscuits are ok but, slow to get your blood sugars up. With such a low hypo it’s important to get them up fast & stop it dropping further! A sugary drink is even faster than JB’s: full sugar coke, fruit juice or even a cup of tea with at least 2 tsp of sugar. But, that’s for my hypos in the 3 mmol range: I’d say you’d need 3 or 4 tsp of sugar in tea for the 2mmol range! The 2’s hypos are exhausting & take some time to recover from so, take it easy & rest for the rest of the day.

Hope your BS is stable for the rest of the day? @Michael12421🙂
 
Morning all and glad your feeling better @Michael12421 my reading today is 5.7 hope you all have a good day today well as good as can be
 
Morning all
A 6.1 for me today
@Michael12421 scary numbers for you, hope it all settles soon!

Blessings

Morning all and 5.3 for me which was rather unexpected after levels stubbornly stuck in low double figures all evening. Nice flatfish from about 5am until waking. Strange game sometimes.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, it’s spitting! Anyways, a miraculous 5.4, two days on the bounce in the 5s. Is that because of my decision to unshield myself? Who knows. Mr Eggy is going for our Tesco Click and Collect at 10, such excitement. Then at 2 we are meeting our eldest daughter at her place of work ( 2 metres apart) to give her some presents for our three youngest grandchildren, which I’ve ordered from Tesco! Books and DVDs. I haven’t physically seen her for coming up 9 weeks. So that’s exciting too, shame we won’t see the kids! I’ll FaceTime them later though. Have a Happy Monday.🙂
 
Morning

Bruce popped up late at night with some things on Saturday, on his way back home he came across 2 folk he knew (that aren't from the same household anyway) the guy was helping the woman home (absolutely guttered out her rocker) and the guy asked Bruce to help, him sticking to social distancing said sorry but no so the guy had a go at him! We tend to social distance ourselves from this woman at the best of times! So....

Anyway 5.3 for me this morning and hoping my levels through the day start to improve greatly, I cant be doing with waking fine then correcting with dinner and tea, what happened to my good control? :( 🙄

@Michael12421 did you ever get round to doing basal testing? I think it would be really beneficial as all these hypo's aren't great and I'd be worried if it were me
xx
 
Morning all, back from a short DIY and youngest’s birthday break with a 7.4 to greet me this morning.
 
Morning all, Ta dah! It’s a new week 5.2 HS for me. That doesn’t happen often 🙂

It’s a beautiful sunny day here , off on a walk with new headphones that let me hear what’s going on around me after a near miss with a loose horse running down the road behind me. Luckily someone walking towards me waved their arms to tell me to get off the road and out of the way as I was in the road to get past some people having a chat. Thankfully the horse was caught by some people a bit further along .

I hope you’re all doing ok.
 
@Flower congratulations on the HS!

The horse story sounds a scary one mind, you stay safe out there!

Kaylz When you first suggested it I did do it but it was a complicated set of rules I had to follow and just didn't fit in with my lifestyle and regime. I am going to reduce my basal tonight by one unit particularly as this mornings low resulted in a nasty gash to my upper leg for which I have no explanation.
 
Woke at a 3.2. JBs before getting up. Breakfast and now 2.9 and dropping??

I shall reduce basal insulin today more than usual for our day out walking.
Things will settle.

Have a good day and enjoy another sunny day.
 
6.6 this morning for me. I’m off to climb a hill. I might even hire a bike.

Diabetes is complicated though, I cant stress enough how important basal testing is to keep BG steady instead of highs and lows everywhere, reducing basal willy nilly isn't going to work and neither is reducing bolus doses willy nilly, you really need to establish your basal and bolus doses to manage your diabetes as well as you can xx
 
Good morning 4.6 and dropping, could feel it kicking in usual hypo effects which is good as I lost all sense of hypo awareness at one time.🙂 Tested again 2.7 five JB`s and a glass of pure orange juice soon sorted that out,😎 as @Kaylz explained to @Michael12421 time for a proper Basel test. The sun is shining not a cloud in the sky 23.C inside at the moment,:D walked over to the beach yesterday and it was absolutely heaving social distancing yeah right couldn`t get a Rizla in between any of them.o_O🙄

Congratulations on HS @Flower take care of that foot/leg.🙂

That's a few days now you`ve had very low readings @Michael12421, if I remember you went through a period of lows before. Do you record your meal times Bolus and your readings at the appropriate times? gashes on your leg not knowing how it got there not good for anyone let alone a Diabetic. Not trying to teach granny to suck eggs but we do worry, take care.

Hope you all have a good day folks, take care, stay safe.🙂
