Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

Bruce and I are both suffering from skin peeling off fingers and hands, my problem is that I almost scald my hands every time I wash them to make sure they are clean and considering I can be there 5 times in 10-15 minutes that's a lot of burning water, must remember its the soap that does the main job, water can be cool! :confused: him I think its the abrasive soap wash they have at work

Anyways it was a 4.0 for me at 6:05 so had a glucose chew and was 4.9 by around 6:45, had my first day 100% in target yesterday for the first time in ages so nae doubt it will be all over the place today, never mind at least I know what to do 🙄

Stay safe and have a nice day if you can
xx

Just what I was thinking @ColinUK. I can’t wait to hug my mum but I don’t want to put her at risk. 🙂

Morning all.:D 5.4 here.

I’m so itchy LOL. Going to see if antihistamines get rid of this pesky heat rash...don’t scratch, don’t scratch!o_O

To make matters worse, many of their friends have regularly broken the guidelines and gone and stayed overnight with their children or have had people come visit. But it’s about choice and I think my parents are making the right choice.
 
Fell asleep without my basal so woke to a not so good 22.9, but breakfast correction has got that back in line to a respectable 6.4.
 
Good afternoon boys and girls🙂

I’m reporting rather late, as yesterday completely used all my energy supplies. Anyway, woke up on 4.8, which is OK after a fairly straight line overnight. That wake up was at 11.30.

So what wore me out? Well, in the morning went to the garden centre (masked and hand sanitised frequently) to get some plants for the window boxes which hang from the balcony rail, and got a balcony pear tree. I grooved around on my wheelchair, son in law did the trolley shoving and compost bag lifting. All appropriate distancing done. It was reasonably busy, almost a normal Monday morning. Only a few other folk wore masks, but everyone was taking extra care.

So far so good. Went from there back to dump the stuff at the flat, picked up Mrs B and then we were driven by son in law to their garden for a barbecue. We were distanced, but in fact we have all maintained a bubble, so no risk. The food was excellent. Only trouble was the Crunchie cheesecake that daughter had made for a local internet Bake Off competition. That had to be tamed by 15 units of Humalog😎

The barbecue was all off wheelchair, so I moved around on two crutches. That was the killer bit. Didn’t hurt, but paid for it later. Had to take twoTramadol just to get into bed later, so had some wizard dreams overnight.🙂

But you know what really annoyed me yesterday? I woke up yesterday on 5.2, but didn’t have the time to gloat😡:D
 
well now I see another reason why someone cant get a grip on their condition

That is one years supply - not of course that it is any of your business.

you constantly wake up hypo and don't even feel it much, alcohol can be a huge factor in causing lows when you are sleeping, you are very irresponsible at looking after yourself and wont do a damn thing to change it yet get a lot of sympathy, its honestly getting unbelievable and you need to buck up and do something about it before you end up dead because of it, yes blunt but that's exactly how my consultant put it to me when I lost my hypo awareness even though I was doing everything right
 
Good afternoon folks I`m with @mikeyB late again, 7.7 this morning nicely reducing figures in the heat.🙂 Tomorrow the temperature drops dramatically that will need more adjustment but hey getting really good at maths especially equations.😎Been to the beach this morning tide was right out wasn`t happy about the amount of seaweed on one side of the beach.😡

Congratulations @mikeyB on HS yesterday.🙂

Well a big clap for forum members mentioned in the Balance Mag, first of all Robin a T2 who got his/her HbA1c down from 104 to 38 in 6 months, @trophywench also mentioned and @Ljc, also @Anitram. A good contribution from the forum letting people know how we support each other, well done folks keep it going.🙂

Enjoy the rest of the day folks and take care, stay safe.🙂
 
I’ve had a think about posting this & decided to but, please forgive me if I shouldn’t have!

@Michael12421 maybe some peanut butter on something like an oatcake, you’ve probably noticed I like those, a cracker or toast before you go to sleep at night will slowly & steadily release it’s sugars, because of the fat in it, will hold your BS steady overnight while you sleep? And if it’s a bit higher than you’d like a correction added to breakfast can soon sort that out as in the case of @brisr949 today: it’s safer than being too low; I remember reading once about @everydayupsanddowns once posting about not realising how worried his wife was about him not waking up at all, while sleeping overnight, when he lost hypo awareness after a prolonged series of hypos!
 
Thank you Lanny, nothing to forgive. However I loathe peanut butter with a vengeance but I do have other things that I can take. Problem being that I go to sleep very early as I get very tired and going to sleep is usually only about 45 minutes after eating my dinner so I am still full from that. Really appreciate your post.
