Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

On my own already, mum got a text after 10pm last night asking if she could go into work today, so she's off out there now and taking the afternoon off from her volunteering at the charity shop

6.7 for me today

Last weeks stats are
Waking Average - 5.9
Total Insulin - 200.5U
Bolus - 67.5U
Basal - 133U

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
A rather high 7.6 for me today, don’t know why, haven’t eaten since 5.30 yesterday 😳
Took Misty out in the buggy last evening as she didn’t want to walk, it worked, had her in it for a couple of minutes and got her out and off she went no problem. The only problem is the handles are a little low which is a bit uncomfortable as I am tall but never mind at least she got a bit of exercise.
Have a good day x
 
Morning all,
6.2 again today, must rethink the evening diet.
Blessings Snowwy
 
Toast and lots of marmalade and tea. Don't feel at all unwell. I had a whole chicken pie with flaky pastry for dinner at 6pm followed by two Magdalenas with lots of honey. I only measured 4.4 before I ate so just had 2 units of NR. Thought that would cover the carbs I ate. I would have been better off if I had no bolus at all!
 
@Michael12421 I really don't mean to keep banging on but you maybe should have just had the marmalade until your levels were back in range, toast isn't that fast acting and you really should treat immediately rather than going through the time of making toast and a cup of tea etc, its extremely dangerous to be leaving yourself hypo for so long especially when you seem to have no hypo awareness, its very worrying xx
 
Woke up to a 7.0 this morning. Happy with that.
In the last week my daily average has dropped from 8.85 to 7.0 so progress is being made.
Noticed that whilst my I still feel some numbness in my toes and some sensitivity in my feet in general, that the pain has definitely subsided to the point where I don't have to spray Deep Freeze on them or soak them in a cold water basin. Long may that continue.
My back pain has improved a lot as well.
All I have now is what feels like dull muscle pains in my thighs and calves presumably from all the walking (probably 2 miles) I've been doing each day for the last month after a couple of years of doing almost nothing.

If you are feeling well, is there any chance that your meter is not working properly?
Do you have a backup meter to try out?

Michael has these episodes a lot and it's more likely that because of them happening quite often that he has no hypo awareness so he will feel well, I've experienced loss of hypo awareness myself and you do feel completely well and normal, this isn't a new thing for Michael xx
 
Morning all, 5.9 here, eventually. Put my basal back up, because I'd had a heavy on the protein meal last night, and was rising when I went to bed. (I didn’t bolus at all for it, as I'd had a strenuous walk in the afternoon) Shouldn’t have, as soon as my head touched the pillow I started on a downward line all night til I got to 3.5 at 7.30am, and needed jelly baby assistance.

Good to read that things are settling for you.

It was only once I had insulin and got my levels back in range, that I realised just how poorly I had been for quite a while. The increased activity will also help you to manage levels. We tryt o make sure that we ‘do something’ for at least 15 minutes after each meal. It certainly reduces the post meal spikes that I had, and we also feel so much better by being more active and getting fresh air, rather than slumping. However we don’t always stick to that!!!

Maybe there are times when you need less insulin, and that might help reduce the morning hypos.
I hope the levels are back up soon.
