Group 7-day waking average?

Delighted to report an in range reading this morning of 6.5. Shot myself 4 units of NR and waited 1.25hrs for it to start coming down to 5.8 so thar I could start eating breakfast. Treated myself to 25g jumbo oats made into porridge with water and berries, seeds and yoghurt added, Oh, and a little dollop of stewed rhubarb which worked really well with the berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It was yum and haven't gone above 7 since so happy with that so far today.

@Gruers

I wonder if your expectations are a little too high. A rise from 6.1 to 7.6 overnight is not really a problem or anything significant and it may be that some of that increase, if not all of it, is Dawn Phenomenon kicking in before you test on a morning. Or it could be that your basal insulin needs a half unit tweak, but I would leave it for now and see if you see a similar pattern over a number of days. Personally I would be reasonably happy with a result like that every day if I could manage it.
 
Sorry, very late on parade today after a sleepless night

5.2 which amazed me

Wish my sleep pattern would settle to normal. Anyway, I hope everyone is well. Oh, by the way, the hospital clinic called, they want to see me next week, oh dear.

I am pretty sure @Gruers is not on insulin, Barbara, so tweaking basal not an option!
@Gruers, probably Dawn Phenomenon, but remember blood sugars are affected by many things, not just food, so rising overnight is not a mystery. 🙂

Oops! I was sure I had read Type 1 on their profile this morning.... I was obviously not paying enough attention!
Well picked up, thanks.
 
5.8 this morning. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Well I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t understand diabetes. A 5,5 🙂for me today, can’t remember the last time I had one of those, not this year I don’t think, I’m not complaining. Busy day today. Have DN review today after shopping. May have to go into work this afternoon as my colleagues dad died yesterday suddenly :(, that leaves no secretaries at all for today.
Got a phone call from UCLH yesterday asking if there was any chance I could go up tomorrow for a TRUS (ultrasound) as they have managed to get the man who does them to squeeze me in, so another trip to London. Can’t say no, need to keep the ball moving. Can’t say I’m looking forward to it but hey ho, needs must.
Have a good day everyone. I don’t fit into the ‘bubble’ rules so still no cuddling my grandchildren!!
 
Morning

No good about it, no washing machine and more calls will need to be made today to find out whats happening, Curry’s blaming the bank but seen as we didn’t get a hold of anyone at Curry’s until near 7pm obviously couldn’t get in touch with the bank, I am absolutely fuming and spent a lot of time in tears yesterday

Anyways its a 4.9 and nae doubt another stress filled day trying to find out about my washing machine :(

Stay safe and have a better day than me guys
xx

Hi I am not on insulin and fairly new to regular testing. I had a similar result today I was 5,3 last night and 6.8 this morning. Im hoping for lower readings and more consistency but maybe that’s unrealistic
thanks for your comments and have a great day
 
Good morning all. Snap @Robin 6.8 for me too despite a full extra unit of basal morning and night since last Friday. Damp and breezy today, no plans as such as I’m still traumatised after yesterday’s supermarket trip, my first in 12 weeks. Hope you’ve all sorted out who’s going to be in your bubble, not an easy task if you’ve a huge family like me. Good luck. 🙂
 
Morning all , My reading for today is 5.8 , hope everyone has a good day
 
Oops! 😳 Forgot to post this earlier, 06:57 BS 7.1.:confused: So, so smile as it’s OK ish! Already had usual half oatcake & half breakfast dose. Just put lunch in the oven, 30 minutes wait, & just sat back down when I remembered I hadn’t posted yet!🙄 Having sheperds pie again with turkey mince: would that be a Turkey Pie?:D🙄😉

I only had a wee walk about 1/3 of the way down the lane before getting lower back ache: 1st sign of being too tired & if I don’t stop my legs can stop working due to neuropathy; so, rested a bit & headed back in. So, only about 250 steps! But, I can build on that: don’t push myself too hard! But, actually my arms ache a lot more as I still tire easily & I’ve been doing a lot of cooking: being right handed my right arm aches more than my left; it’s the upper inside part, is that the biceps, that ache! 🙄

A rather belated, little miss forgetful, Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉 There’s a bit more sunshine, here, today & may you all have Sunshine on the outside too but, as always, it’s carrying the Sunshine with you on the Inside that REALLY counts!😎:D😛😉
