Group 7-day waking average?

[ColinUK]

And a 5.5 this bank holiday morning for me.

 

[Lanny]

09:34 BS 8.6 Ok with that! Did get a little sleep after midnight Levemir & may snooze a bit more until midday? Then, tesco shopping 13:00 to 14:00 🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all on this Bank Holiday Monday!😉

The weather doesn’t look too back with a bit of sunshine peeping through my bedroom curtains!😎

Yep! Just had a gigantic yawn so, back for some more z’s until midday! Stream of z’s emoji!😉

Morning all. 🙂 4.1 here.

Just noticed a cluster of prick marks on my earlobe - I guess that’s how they tested my BG during the op!

Hope your dad’s ok @Kaylz. My fav nut butter is almond, luuush, and less carb than the others.😛

They'd have a job with me as 2 pierced holes in each lobe! lol

Thanks, I probably won't hear anything and it will be up to me to ask again even though I was told the other day I'd be kept informed, yes I looked at almond butter but not in the budget just now, maybe when Bruce gets back to work I can get some to try as can't find it anywhere that cheap xx

@Kaylz hope your dad is ok and that you are kept informed. Like you I have 2 piercings in each ear lobe so not a lot of room for pin pricking!! X

Thanks, I pulled the bottom one in my left ear out like 2 months ago taking my jumper off and forgot all about it, realised the other day I still hadn't put it back in so took the top one out and jeez did it hurt as it had closed! Now got the original earring cleaned and put in but tender and itchy it is! xx

Well my reading this morning was 4.2 which looks better than my previous 2 days in the 2s but isn't really as unfortunately I hypoed twice through the night at 2am and 3.30am and then dropped to low 4s at 5.30am which I also treated so consumed half a packet of Dextrose tablets last night despite reducing my Levemir by another unit. I also managed not to use any quick acting insulin yesterday at all. Funny that I still need 16 units of Levemir in the morning but will be down to just 2units tonight.
This new regime with the horses being in and therefore needing a full muck out followed by my 4 mile yomp/jog is certainly putting a hole in my insulin needs. Would be nice to have a restful night's sleep tonight though!

@Kaylz Congrats on your HS. Hope things go well for your Dad and they get him fixed up without any problems. At least he is in the right place.

@SueEK Nice try! I like your style. 😉

As above, 5.3 just after waking. I had a couple of coffees: 1 x doppio with a slosh of double cream and 1 x cappuccino. A slice of sourdough toast with peanut butter and pot of blueberry yogurt. I then trundled off for a walk of a tad under five miles and have just measured 4.9

 

[Lanny]

@rebrascora maybe some peanut butter before bed may help until you get the overnight basal right to hold you steady while you sleep. Then, when you get the basal right, eventually, the higher BS can be corrected in the morning & you’ll know you won’t need the peanut anymore! 🙄

 

[Lanny]

Oh yes, all this chat about peanut butter: I like Sun Pat smooth no added sugar; but, if you like crunchy, I don’t, asda smartprice crunchy peanut butter is great tasting too & almost as good as Sun Pat at a MUCH cheaper price! It’s very chunky though & nuts are a choking hazard to me because of my damaged swallowing reflex from my first bout of Bells Palsy back in 2001!

Thats the one i'm buying atm. It is nice x

 

[rebrascora]

@Lanny Thanks so much for your thoughtful suggestion. I currently eat cheese before bed but clearly not enough! I even deliberately didn't have a glass of red wine last night to see if that would make a difference.
Not sure how much of a jar of peanut butter would be needed to hold me steady at the moment. Maybe it would be more sensible to not use any Levemir tonight and see how I go, rather than take in more food to mop it up, and then correct tomorrow if need be. Not that I wouldn't enjoy eating half a jar of peanut butter before bed but it makes more sense to cut the insulin more drastically than take in so many unnecessary calories.

 

[Lanny]

Yes it is & only wished they do a smooth one: bought it online not realising it’s crunchy; but, had to REALLY focus on not choking on all those peanut pieces! 😱

Ouch I’ve done that a few times over the years and it feels like having your ear pierced again but doing it yourself 😳

@freesia Bruce not long arrived

Bubble Boo's goodies (box of food isn't needed until next week but the pate he gets one every Saturday as a treat)


And my goodies! (there were also almond milks, diluting juice and peanut butters but as you know the Milky Way ones were the main event! haha)


@SueEK I got my bottom ones done when I was 10 for my 11th birthday off my dad (was there the weekend before my 11th birthday), done at Claire's Accesorries and don't remember them being sore then, that will be 19 years ago now and the top were done by my mates mum (she did the required course and everything) but they were a tad on the nippy side, also she used thicker posted studs so couldn't use those earrings after I'd switched them as they were just too thick to go through! xx

Enjoy your bars, yum.
I had my first ones done at 2 so obviously don’t remember them. Had the second ones done when my daughter had her first, she got scared and said she would have them done if I had mine done first - didn’t want a second but hey ho I did it and she then had hers - the things we do for our kids!!

Enjoy!! Are they has good as the caramel bars? Were they worth the wait? I hope Bruce's arm is better and your dad is ok x

I don't know, it was after I'd had dinner he came up so will be trying one tomorrow, Bruce is back at the fracture clinic tomorrow, will have to get the 7:30 bus to the other town to get another to the hospital even though the town he has to go to is in the opposite direction of the hospital! And he won't be back in our town until after 2pm at least so hopefully if he gets away from there and needs to start physio it can be done at the local hospital as he won't want to do this all the time, as for my dad he's staying in tonight and having a scan tomorrow, apparently they have no idea what's wrong with him but only got "her" word for that xx

My mum only has 1 ear pierced. she had it done the old fashioned way at the jewellers when she was a teenager and it was sore and got infected so she's never got the other one done, I have my lip done too and tattoos but dentist needles I'm petrified of lol xx

And they say we should use public transport more to keep cars off the road! They don't make it easy. I hope he can gey physio locally...and that the Milky Way bars are good after such a long wait x
