Group 7-day waking average?

[Kaylz]

Opened the curtains and was rewarded by a blue sky. No central heating for me.

Which part of Scotland are you in? Obviously no blue sky when I open my bedroom curtains before 6am but blue sky now and still a good chill in the air xx

 

[Kaylz]

Definitely chilly, the end of my fingers are cold and tingling, always a sign of colder weather.

My big toe throbs when it turns cold, I have reduced feeling in it after an accident as a teenager but always feel it when its cold lol, bugs me xx

 

[Ditto]

Morning all. Blazing sunshine here, I've had to close the curtains again, can't see the screen for the glare. Bit nippy though. Heating is on full blast but it always is as Mum is always frozen to the bone and wears fingerless gloves in the house.

7.0 @ 6.15am I'm very pleased with that. 🙂 Blood was easier to extract too.

My grandad is the opposite, when he's actually allowed in here he'll bang on about how warm it is when we're sat shivering, it might help him if he didn't wear a t-shirt, a flannel shirt and a jumper or cardigan! And that's most of the year! The jumper comes off in the warmer weather but he still wears the other 2 layers and then has the cheek to complain about the heat! 🙄 xx

6.9 on waking and 10.7 after breakfast. Something is going on. I wonder what? Probably will never know.

 

[freesia]

congrats on your HS,

Lol. My first one in a very long time! Hope you're having a restful break.

 

[freesia]

Sunny here as well. Shows up how much my windows need cleaning again!!

 

[Lanny]

09:36 BS 7.8 🙂 A bit lower than yesterday & after meals were still a bit on the high side but, came down from 11’s to 10’s so, it’s is settling, slowly!🙄 AND I wake up headache free again; a nice bonus!

I seem to be getting up later as the Autumn/Winter season sets in & now gone from 08:00 ish to 09:00 ish!🙄 But, it’s Sunday & I’m feeling easy & lazy!

A late ish, for me, Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

@pm133 looks like you are getting the hang of things, well done. As a T2 I always admire how you all work out what you need.

To be honest, without my Diabetes Nurse and the dietician who spoke with me in my first couple of weeks, I'd be lost. It helps that I'm pretty comfortable with numbers and can calculate carbs for the weight of food I am eating but I've got to be careful not to miscount.
The biggest risk is switching off. There are 4 of us at home so when we make a family meal I need to remember to divide the total carbs count by 4. There's been times when I have forgotten to do that and then realised at the last minute that the number of insulin units seems awfully high.

Fife. The reason it was quite warm when I woke up was that my wife had switched the heating on a couple of hours earlier. So all that "hard man" bravado about not needing the heating on was based on nothing :-D

I'm Angus, Brechin to be precise, its toasty here now but only cause the suns streaming in, gets like a greenhouse when the suns coming in like that! We are hardier up Scotland when it comes to the weather though lol xx

Good morning 5.6 on a great sunny day, 23.C at the moment doors and windows wide open
no wind at the moment but gets a bit chilly if it picks up, coming from the east.😎

Still loads of grockles about so try to stay out of the town and
off of the beach.🙄

Congratulations on HS @freesia.🙂 With you on the windows.

Special congratulations @HenryBennett don`t think its special street more like Sesame Street.🙂

Stay warm folks take care stay safe.🙂

2.9 on waking. I think it was what woke me up. Libre showing a gentle descent.
Had problems with pump over the past two days with it not delivering insulin when I thought it had.
New pump on the way.

Congrats on HS @freesia , and on the Super Street Special @HenryBennett

Sunshine today. Some gardening but well wrapped up as it is very cold.
Have a good day all

 

[Kaylz]

@SB2015 I hope your new pump arrives ASAP and you manage to get stable BG's again xx

Now I am aware that there is an issue, I am being ‘less automatic’ in doing the D stuff, and double checking everything. It seems to be a communication problem, even though I have changed batteries, battery cover, .... the new pump should arrive on Tuesday.

I feel a bit bad as my pump is due for replacement at the end of January, but they were insistent, and I think it does make sense.

What's an HS?

 

[miguel81]

It's a House Special - when you get a reading of 5.2 in the morning.

 

[Kaylz]

@pm133 @Michael12421 has it spot on, it's believed to be the optimal to wake on especially if insulin dependant as there's wiggle room either way

If you are a member of Facebook and are in any Type 1 groups that aren't specifically UK based then you may read things about Unicorn levels, thats when they get a straight 100 on their meter (5.5 in our money) xx

 

[miguel81]

On my Spanish meter 5.2 is 94 - which I don't get very often.

I didn't realise the Spanish used the same measurement system as the American's so if you ever get 100 you'll be claiming a unicorn too haha xx
