Group 7-day waking average?

my BP is now stable but my heart rate is low and is similar to an elite athlete which is how I’ve always seen myself. I need an angiogram next week and can’t go home until then at the earliest. My blood sugars are taken every few hours so that’s good but so bored
keep well guys

Glad to hear they are taking good care of you and should get to the bottom of what’s happening xx
 
@Gruers dont bother with the tv if you have to pay for it, it’s a massive con; buy a week’s wifi and sign into a tv/film streaming service like Netflix, Amazon, or NowTV. Glad to see you’re being well looked after and are stable.

@HenryBennett I grew Avo from an avocado stone, he’s over 6’ now!

Yup, been there. We all wash our hands before pricking a finger but in hospital they never ask you to wash them. Just prick, measure, record and leave. Unless you ask they don’t even tell you the reading. Good luck with everything.

Wishing you a speedy recovery...
 
Result of HbA1c blood taken on Wednesday is 39.
The comment when I phoned and asked for the result was, “The result is normal. No action required.” I had to ask for the number. I need to think about it and will ask for some input in a separate thread.
 
@Gruers get well soon.

Hi everyone, very late posting today. Its been a bit of a week starting back at work. Anyway this morning was 8.4.

A question for anyone...my levels have been going high overnight around midnight to 1am then staying high all night until just before waking when they drop down to within range but at the higher end. This has been going on for 2-3 weeks. I've upped the Tresiba 11 nights ago and it seemed to settle for a couple of days but this last week, levels are high overnight again and after breakfast over the last week 4 days out of 7 i've hypoed. I know i need to tweak my insulin and need to get the basal right first. The hypos suggest my breakfast bolus needs looking at but would this be affected by the basal change? But if i don't up my basal then i'll keep having overnight highs. Can't get hold of my DSN as her answerphone is redirecting. Any ideas?

I’m sorry to hear that HenryBennett. It’s not the experience I had last week. 🙂 The nurse wiped my finger first and always showed me the result. And overnight, they kept apologising for waking me up every hour to check.🙂 Mind you, my finger tips were purple from all the testing!
Hope you’re back home and on the mend asap @Gruers.

@freesia yes adjust your bolus as required with your basal adjustments so reduce it by half a unit first if you can and see how that goes xx

Thanks @Kaylz. I'm upping my basal tonight so hopefully over the next few nights that will settle and i can look at basal tomorrow. Hypos have been a pain this week as i've had to come out of class to treat.
Have you heard any more about your dad?x

It might also be that your a bit more active after your breakfast with being back at school? (I'm not saying you were a lazy sod while you were off by the way!) Yes I had a text earlier, latest is he might be having an op tomorrow to remove his gallbladder xx

I had my gallbladdee out a few years ago and was home the day after the op so fingers crossed he won't be in for too much longer x

I'm not bothered to be honest, I give up with him, he didn't speak to me for 3 years when I was a teenager because I developed a fear of planes and wouldn't go on holiday with, he then stopped speaking to me when I was about 20 and only got in touch when his dad died (who he hadn't spoken much to either) and that's not counting the amount of times he let me down as a child because he couldn't leave his partner on her own cause oh my goodness, she had a headache 🙄 haven't seen him since mid February xx

At least you have your cuddles with Bruce x
 
5.2 Thursday AND today !

@Gruers hope you’re feeling better

@freesia could levels be effected by been back to school and subconscious “worry” or stress?

Well I’m back at work oh my word it’s busy. So much to figure out, one way system, Across play grounds and through buildings, staggered breaks and lunches same for kids each day not different each day for teachers depending on the year group you have, worksheets on desk or in a box not handed to them can’t pass to each other. Clean desks between lessons....... It’ll all be fine when they’re actually back on my day if I say it enough I’ll believe it
