Group 7-day waking average?

I haven't contacted the GP so its not their fault, the mental health unit close to me was closed down a few years ago so there isn't any local support and no face to face appointments not that I could even manage that at the moment if there were xx

Closed down? 😳 That’s why I get annoyed at the royals, etc banging on about talking about mental health - we must talk about it. It’s not because I think we shouldn’t get talking, but because there aren’t the mental health services available once the conversation has started.

Is there an OCD forum that you could use @Kaylz? Or OCD for Dummies?

Well, I had my best reading for ages this morning of 5.0 but I sort of cheated..... Not that it wasn't a fasting test as I fasted most of yesterday..... just had a small bowl of homemade cream of tomato soup at lunchtime followed by a jar of olives... I know that is odd but cupboards are getting bare and can't psych myself up to go shopping....
Anyway, the reason it is a bit of a cheat is that I worked through the night. I did try to sleep but I was struggling with anxiety, so I got up and headed up to my stable yard and it was so pleasant to be out in the fresh air with a bit of mist and no heat. By 3am it was quite light and I could work outside, so I pottered on until 6am and then went to bed for a couple of hours and got up at 8am to my 5.0.
I had my first "flatfish" straight line on my Libre (last of 14 days for that sensor) despite doing steady manual work throughout the night. I fully expected to need some hypo treatment but steady as a rock, when normally it drops whilst I am sleeping and it was lovely working in a comfortable (not too hot) peaceful, fly free environment. Horses were really contented whereas during the day they are hot and fractious and bothered by flies.... it was just lovely.

Had the dentist to them today.... a new guy who is very impressive in his holistic approach. Used power tools on all of them and most of them had not experienced power tools in their mouth before and certainly not without sedation, so it was amazing to watch how he gained their trust and cooperation. His whole demeanour was so calm and empathetic and he took everything at their pace.... really great guy!
Horses teeth keep growing throughout their lives and develop sharp edges which need to be rasped down every year. It is a bit like us being in the dentist's chair for 20mins whilst they use that horrid really rattly drill! Their whole head and neck vibrates from it! For an animal which has instincts to run at the least sign of threat, it is amazing for them to stand without even a halter on and allow this to be done!

My new Libre sensor is on and running and currently reading 0.8 higher than my finger prick BG whereas the previous one was that much lower, so we will see how it goes from here. Hopefully it will not record so many hypos and my stats will improve!

Wow, I think I need a dentist like him, he sounds amazing. So glad the horses were calm about it all
 
26/06/20 23:56 BS 12.1:confused: So, so & not a TOTAL surprise!🙄 Had my midnight Levemir & don't want to eat so, holding off on Novorapid until later to see what BS is like then?🙄

Never checked in yesterday & now can't really remember what the day before yesterday was except it was another very tingly day! I slept a lot when I could & didn't really have a waking BS to report so, didn't check in. insulin doses went down a bit more & 1 after eating was high BS 12.6 but, reducing -4 units was too much! Corrected with +2 & only reduced the other doses by -2 units with after eating of 9's. that was the day before yesterday, 25/06/20! 🙄

As to yesterday it started off as a continuation of the day before with no waking BS really as it was one long day as I didn't sleep the previous night: got distracted sorting out stuff on my laptop which I hadn't touched in months, can't remember how long: downloading all of my iTunes purchases since I last switched it on: I tend to do most things things either on the iPad or iPhone now as my MacBook is SO slow & can be long stretches between switching it on! 🙄 I finally finished downloading Loads of TV episodes & films I'd bought in the interim, took all nigh!t I kept an eye on my BS which stayed pretty steady around 7. Yesterday morning 26/06.20 06:56 BS 7.2 but, awake all night & was trying to sleep but, too wired, by that point, to do so! didn't eat breakfast, usual half oatcake & half dose, ate lunch around 10:30 reducing -2 again, -4 reductions BS is too high, & after was only a bit high at 11:56 BS 10.4 & dropped to 16:07 BS 5.0 without correction before dinner & that's when something went VERY wrong! I bolused for the full meal but, only ate half of it & to make things worse I'd added +2 for coke as well so, no reduction & only drank half of that too! It was only about 45 minutes after eating that my heart rate went crazy & was MUCH too lightheaded & clumsy to test so, shakily drank the rest of my coke & then ate an oatcake before I managed it 16:56 BS 7.6! My heart rate was going up & up with abdominal pain in my left side I kept washing my hands to test to keep an eye on my BS as I couldn't quite believe it WASN'T hitting the floor! It went up & down a bit but, stayed in the 6's during active insulin until 18:33 BS 6.0 when my heart rate finally started to ease a bit & I conked out pretty soon after that: felt extremely sleep but, had to keep testing! I was surprised & relieved that it kept steady without further treatment so, not completely sure it WAS a hypo! :confused: THAT emoji IS confused! I suppose I should have stayed awake & kept testing until after 20:00 but, couldn't! Slept about 5/5.5 hours & my waking reading is SO high but, to be expected after a hypo?😱 Did it go lower after I was asleep & then climbed back up after active insulin?🙄

I took me that long to think back & post that I'm beginning to feel hungry now & just tested 27/06/20 03:20 BS 10.1 it dropped a bit without Novorapid with just the Levemir! Now then, what will I bolus for food? I should add +2 for a higher starting point but, I won't to be on the safe side so, next question is what dose? Stay at 26 or reduce to 24 for breakfast? I think I'll go ahead & reduce to 24 & if very high after can add a correction: safer that way! 🙄

A completely off kilter greeting now for you all to have a Good Morning, coming up, & have a Wonderful Day! 😱🙄:D😉
 
Oh yes! Forgot to mention that on Thursday 25/06/20 in between the snoozes all day I played all 18 holes of the opening round in the golf clash tournament, in batches of 3 holes here & there, scoring -21 for 18 holes AND I got another tournament Albatross -3 on a par 5 hole! 😱:D😛 Here is my score card:-

And here’s the video of said Albatross:-

Albatross Liberty Tournament Hole 6 par 5 City Park 5 Opening Round Front 9 on 25/06/20


Just as well I did it all on Thursday given yesterday’s shenanigans! Opening round finishes at 07:45 with official results at 08:00. I’m currently in 41st place & only the top 50 get to the final weekend round: very tough low scoring tournament with very fine margins between a great shot, my Albatross, & disaster, a dropped Birdie; fingers crossed I make it & only have 9 places I can drop as people finish!😱 Fingers crossed emoji!

PS:- Oops!😳 Just realised I labeled the video the wrong hole when I posted it onto youtube & can’t change the title now: only noticed it now when looking at the scorecard!🙄
 
Morning all,

Well it's a 6.2 from me this morning making my weekly average a 6.0 , I'm back in the 6's for my weekly average the 5's did not last long
 
Morning and a 5.5 from me.

Awful night last night as the neighbour’s party dragged on until 4:15am - music being played until about 4am. It was outside in the garden and I’m grateful for double glazing but the noise, especially when drunk friends started to argue, was unbearable at times. I’m exhausted.
It’s very different if it’s your own body keeping you awake at night but to have your sleep deprived by thoughtlessness of others is energy sapping tip say the least.

Yesterday I did an Ikea trip to buy a parasol and it’s too small so need to do another to return that one and swap it for something bigger. As it’s raining today there won’t be a queue but as I’m knackered I think it can wait for another day.
 
Morning

I'm joining the 6.2 gang this morning, surprising considering I had the same troubles as @ColinUK with Eastern Europeans from all closey's gathering in our back green to party the night and morning away, next time I will be phoning the police as I'm thoroughly sick fed up of their lack of respect for their Scottish neighbours, they are so clannish and rude, wont even get the chance to relax and nap today, I hope they are suffering today and their kids don't give them peace!

Have a nice day and stay safe my lovelies!

Snap @ColinUK 5.5 for me this morning 🙂 and the same as yesterday which I forgot to post. 😳

Rain and light rain forecast for today, well it is summer I suppose. 🙄

Stay safe and well and dry.

That’s a shame @Kaylz. This is such a great forum, all other forums pale in comparison.:D

Morning all. 4.3 here.😛

Time to brave the elements...it was tipping it down when I got up. 😳🙂

Homebase yesterday!😱 What a shambles!😱 Not going back there in a hurry.

We're surrounded by Eastern Europeans, mum's just been out to the bin with the recycling and they've managed to snap one of the washing poles, absolutely disgusting but then again its not a one off for them its a regular occurrence we have to go through xx
 
Why are those carbs so tasty 🙂. Still managed to stay pretty low, so it's a 4.1 today 🙄.
 
Morning all, 5.0 on the dot here. No rain yet, but it’s expected. The heavens will open just as we get to son’s house with some plants for his garden, at least it'll save having to water them in. Now that we’ve 'Bubbled' with him, at least we won’t have to cower under umbrellas in the garden to eat lunch, like we did last time.
 
Hi everyone, a nice round 6. A very disturbed night for me too, not parties but just me being hot and sticky and when I did finally drop off was having terrible nightmares! So today, which is very wet and considerably cooler thank goodness, will be spent reading and nana napping. @ColinUK they could have least invited you! Have a cooler Saturday everyone. 🙂
