Group 7-day waking average?

[everydayupsanddowns]

Yikes @Michael12421 I hope you treated that 2.4 pronto! (or did you mean 12.4?)

5.4 for me this morning with a pleasing descent / correction from 12.2 at midnight 🙄

 

[miguel81]

No it was 2.4. Yeah, mug of tea and a chocolate chip biscuit. Strangely as always did not feel at all unwell at such a low reading, yet when I am 5 something I do. Never was the expression 'we are all different' so applicable.

Went to bed happy to see a flat line with little fells on Libre in spite of a roast dinner and slightly higher carbs than usual. Woke this morning to a mountain range overnight from midnight onwards and finished at 8.4 and confirmed with a BG. This sensor is not at all comfortable and I think some of the lumps may be due to that. I shall see what happens today and if it continues to be painful I shall use up one of my free ones they sent me.

I hope you get that leg sorted @eggyg
That was a bit of a low one @Michael12421 and no symptoms.

Off in search of a tree to replace our Sorbus. We get to to August each year and the leave turn brown and curly and fall off. We will visit a tree nursery and then find somewhere for a walk in this lovely weather.

You really should take something faster acting that a biscuit for BG in the 2s. Even if that has been your habit for a while. I don’t mean to nag, but please do have some lucozade, or dextrose, or high glucose confectionary like Jelly Babies available.

With repeated exposure the brain adapts to ‘perform better’ at these lower levels, so you may be no longer experiencing symptoms that match the seriousness of the situation, but that doesn’t mean that your body can function any better, and you are really on the edge. There’s not far to drop from there before unconsciousness, or sudden memory loss/confusion/incoherence

As a waking reading, you may have been at or around that level for hours, which will not have done your warning signs any good.

I suspect people have mentioned this to you before, but for your own safety, please reconsider your current relaxed strategy to BGs at this low level.

I have been there, and it nearly killed me. Hypo warning signs are recoverable to an extent, but it takes a lot of effort and a significant change in mindset.

Morning all, a 5.8 this morning. Another Monday, marked only by putting the bin out! I did have a sneaky rummage through my work emails just to forward any that require answers. Beginning to feel weird not being at work with lots of others returning. Will be even stranger if/when the kids go back in September!
Packed week this week with Alices zoom bass lesson today, a visit to the opticians to pick up my new glasses tomorrow, Alice hospital appointment on wed, stained glass making with a friend Thurs and back to the Royal London on Friday. Actually feel the need to use my diary for once. Pic is of girls in Walsingham last week.

5.3 for me this morning. Going to be a hectic day of deliveries, starting with the frozen dog food at unreasonable o’clock earlier.

 

[KARNAK]

Good morning 4.1 on another lying weather person day.🙄
Got an emergency visit to the Podiatrist tomorrow morning right big toe is weeping.😳

Thinking of you and Bruce @Kaylz {{{HUGS}}}.

Nice bit of kit Colin in Mercs original colours too.🙂

Not nice @eggyg hope you get it sorted.

@Michael12421 you need to raise your levels maybe into lower teens for a while to get your
awareness back. I had to do it for a month gradually it came back, still not perfect as I have to
go into the 3`s before I get wobbly, been in a coma twice not nice.

Take care folks stay safe. 🙂

 

[Kaylz]

Just a wee update in case anyone is actually interested, Bruce called, said the op seems to have gone well, should get out later today, asked if I could let his mum know so I did
xx

 

[miguel81]

Glad that the op was OK and that Bruce will be back with his parents later today - minus the booze of course, well, perhaps a small whisky?

 

[Kaylz]

Turns out he's not getting home today after all

@Michael12421 most certainly not, whisky is partly what got him into this utter mess
xx

 

[SueEK]

Sorry to hear Bruce won’t be home but glad he has had it done, don’t worry I’m sure he will be fine xx

 

[Kaylz]

Sorry to hear Bruce won’t be home but glad he has had it done, don’t worry I’m sure he will be fine xx

he has no feeling in 2 of his fingers, they say it's normal and it should be back by tomorrow but if it wasn't and he came home he would've had to go back tomorrow anyway and its over an hours drive for his mum/dad so they gave him the option to stay or come home so he decided to stay xx

Hope all is ok, if they gave him the option of going home they must be pretty sure it will be fine. He will probably like being pampered in hospital (does that actually happen these days!!) x

He just wants to be home at his own flat, he's already tetchy about people wanting to wrap him in cotton wool

Good morning 🙂 5.7 for me today 🙂

 

[Lanny]

05:19 BS 8.8. Not waking though as I’m about to eat before going to bed.

I can’t remember when I last posted, lost track of the number of days, until I got an email from the forum saying @Kaylz had PM’ed me!

Sorry about that if you’ve been worried about me!😳

I’ve been spreading myself a bit thin doing too much, overtired, caught a wee chill & still in the midst of chaotic BS but, it’s starting to settle as I’m almost over my chill. My sleeping pattern has been all over the place & I tended to sleep through alarms so, my med times were erratic there for a bit. But, I HAVE now, last 3/4 days, got my 2 Levemir doses roughly 12 hours apart albeit at different times: 6am & 6pm with me taking my pills at 6pm!

It dosen’t take much to go a bit off kilter & then have things escalate!🙄 I’m starting to get back a bit on an even keel now though & the key was getting my 2 Levemir doses in place 12 hours apart as they should be: when sleeping SO much & through alarms I only took 1 dose; the 2 doses are now actually helping me to control my sleep a bit better!🙄 My day, at present, IS the wrong way round, waking at 6pm & sleeping at 6am, but, I can slowly work on that & get it back the right way round!🙄

I’ll finish eating now, munching away on my sandwich while typing, take my meds & am Levemir, go to bed & catch up on the forum later when awake!

I wish you all a Good Morning & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS: I think, if I can stick to it, Levemir at 6am & 6pm maybe better?🙄

 

[miguel81]

Morning. Just lentils and vegetables, potatoes and carrots, last night with a Magdalena. butter and honey for pud. Still only 2.7 on waking.

 

[Snowwy]

Morning all,
@Michael12421 still battling these early morning readings...
A 5.6 for me again after very poor sleep. Our daughters decorating progresses and I hope the cat managed to stay away from the wet paint!
For those in need today I offer another quote from the book by #charliemackesy...
Blessings Snowwy

 

[SueEK]

@Snowwy another great quote
@Lanny hope you manage to get your day the right way up! X

Morning All, I was going to say oops I had a mars bar and a twix chocolate bar last night and that is why my level is so high but it is 5.2 so I'm a little shocked by that reading but happy to go with it
