Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning - mercifully the temperature has dropped to 38 degrees so it was a comfortable night. I awoke to a 5.4 BUT I feel very hypo. How come I am taking ages to type this because I am so wobbly when on a reading of 2 I have no problems?

Oohhh! NICE after fish & chips! 😛:D I would LOVE that but, doubt I could handle the fat of the batter now & it was always difficult to bolus for when I DID eat it: very careful balancing act of not too much upfront as the fat slowed the carbs then, being willing to stay up for extended bolus as the fat also, kept BS elevated for longer; I hear, from forum members’ posts, that’s it’s on a par with pizza as the cheese causes similar difficulties!o_O Well done!:D AND, I trust, you enjoyed it?😉😛
 
Same as yesterday - 4.6. 🙂

Off for some exercise now and then waiting for Asda delivery. Isn't this new normal so exciting. 😛
Stay safe and well everyone.

Morning All ,

It's a 5.6 from me today with a weekly average of 5.4,
 
02:18 BS 9.6 Oops! 😳 Also, no dinner yesterday & after was 12:11 BS 8.4, had meds & Levemir before going to bed. Trouble was I suddenly fancied a cup of tea as I hadn’t had one in nearly a week: last one was on Monday when I finished a carton of milk so, put the unopened longlife carton in the fridge, I prefer to have it pre chilled, & left it there; then, that first cup was SO nice after a break, I had another one!😛🙄 I always have a tsp of honey in each cup of tea so, how much to bolus before going to bed? I decided on 2 units as it’s liquid & don’t want to risk going too low while sleeping with too much bolus!😱 So, I woke a bit higher & I’m ok with that: better than too low!

Then, what to bolus for breakfast: knew I needed +2 for higher start; stick with 28 or go up? I stayed with 28 so had 30 units, plus correction & got too distracted watching 2 episodes of Celebrity Masterchef on iPlayer so, forgot after test & just remembered at 4 hours & 1 minute after insulin 06:32 BS 11.3!:( So, had obviously peaked higher earlier & will up breakfast dose to 30 units tomorrow. Will stick with the same doses for the rest as it’s only breakfast that’s higher than I’d like!🙄

A early ish Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS: definitely made the final weekend round albeit I dropped another shot with a TERRIBLE par during the last 6 holes on the back 9 & overall scored 2 shots higher with -22. Sitting in 41st with only 9 to finish so, a bit tight & squeezed through. Although there’s always some who don’t finish.🙂

Edited to add:- Forgot to say, already stuck in another +2 correction now!🙄
 
Morning on this sunny Saturday, but will it last? 6.5 this morning. Well the ironing didn’t get done yesterday as I promised. Had my shower started getting dressed and....POW! My left collar bone decided to pop out/ freeze/ seize up or something along those lines. I’ve had it before and it’s excruciating, I couldn’t move my neck or lift my left arm. Mr Eggy got me dressed and I came downstairs and applied an ice pack. It was all swollen and I was lopsided. It’s all to do with my troublesome left shoulder, 9 years ago I had frozen shoulder then bursitis. I’ve had MRIs, X Rays, cortisone injections, manipulation, deep tissue massages, acupuncture, you name it I’ve tried it. I was even offered a procedure to try and loosen it. The prognosis after the op wasn’t good and I was told it
could make it worse so I said no the first time and six months later I said no again as I was managing. I think the long hike on Wednesday, carrying a rucksack, scrambling and using walking poles has probably aggravated it. It’s loosened a little today, haven’t had much sleep, and doesn’t look quite so puffy, will rest and ice it again today and tomorrow and if it’s no better will try and get an appointment with my osteopath and see if he can manipulate it or maybe give me acupuncture again. It’s a blooming nuisance! :( So because I didn’t do the ironing I didn’t watch my rubbish telly yesterday! I still ate my 85% G & B and drank Diet Coke and I got my book finished though, every cloud..... Have a fab day everyone and I hope the sun is shining where you are too.😎
 
Morning

@SueEK I will phone if I ever get the time to but it isn't going to be easy, between fitting in with everyone else and Bubbles I really only have the time I test and inject to myself or 10pm-6am lol

@freesia I get time to test and inject so folk think that's all I need, even though they know how I'm feeling they always seem to manage to make me feel worse, my mum has suffered depression so you'd think she'd at least try and be a bit more understanding but no

Anyways 6.5 for me today, with grandad being allowed in again its stressed me out more and pushed my anxiety levels even higher but hey ho, mums comfortable with it so my thoughts and feelings don't get taken into consideration

Have a nice day and stay safe
xx
 
Morning all. 6.3 this morning. Little lady slept through the night but hoping she will go for another little nap so I can doze a bit longer!!
 
6.2 this morning. I don’t know but might have something to do with the mini cheesecake I had last night
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.4 here.

Another great weekly average @Baz. :D

Our neighbour gets all the local gossip - he works at the local building suppliers - and apparently we’re putting a swimming pool in the garden. Can’t wait! 😎
 
Morning all and 5.3 for me .

Feed cat

@khskel we watched some YouTube videos the other day with our grandson and introduced him to Simon's Cat... if you are a cat person (which we are) you will totally get it! He goes up to his owner every time and points to his mouth for feeding. Our grandson thought it was hilarious!

There is a place in the next town but the site doesn't give much information, I don't get much time during the day to call places what between washing my hands, the sink and everything else so it's difficult to find time when I have to do everything to suit everyone else's timescale, the time I get up is based on when others want to eat throughout the day so nothing I do is for myself xx

I agree with @freesia. I was in almost the same position as you (OCD, Depression and looking after others) I changed my career in to the Care Sector. One of the most important things they told us " LOOK AFTER YOURSELF FIRST, BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU WHERE WOULD THEY BE"
 
4.3 this morning after a correction in the night. A delicious lamb curry last night made by OH and then the naan, popadoms, ...All too tempting and I sort of lost track of the carbs. Remembered to do an extended Bolus but forgot just how long a curry takes. It is a rare treat so well worth it. Perhaps if I had them more often I would remember what to do. I was too excited as we had friends round with their 1 month old. The sun came out and we ate in the garden. A good day.

Good average @Baz. A nice birthday present

Enjoy the warmer weather (or cooler for you @Michael12421 )

Cutting back the geraniums that have finished flowering. Earlier attacks have paid off and they are coming up again. Now got the confidence to have a go at them all.
