Group 7-day waking average?

Oh dear, dear, 05:55 BS 10.1o_O Underdid the last bolus a bit before bed: by at least 2 or maybe 4 units! Whole day yesterday was high ish, 11’s & 12’s, despite increasing NR a bit; will have to increase a bit more today!🙄

My goodness! Awake now & the wind has just this minute REALLY picked up & heavy rain is lashing at the windows!😱

Finally finished watching all of Princess Wei Young & will get around to watching the 2nd episode of season 3’s Discovery today. Then, the next Strictly is on later tonight.😛

Already had NR & half oatcake, as I’m not hungry, & maybe have another wee doze?

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
Morning all, my weekly reading is 6.7 still on the up and up .7 from last week
 
Morning

6.6 finger prick and sensor, shame this one runs out in just over 3 hours
xx
 
Morning all. Just in the fives with a 5.9. Happy with that. Wild and wet up here this morning, just looked at the forecast for the coming week and it’s much of the same. Oh dear, half term too. No plans as such today, I’ll just wing it! Have a smashing Saturday. 🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 6.1 here.

It’s looking pretty wild out there. I’ve been waterproofing my winter walking gear this week - let’s see if it’s worked! (I just hope it hasn’t waterproofed the washing machine too!).😱🙂
 
5.8 for me this morning. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

5.8 this morning and off for our flu jabs.
Relaxed arm, keep moving, ...
blustery, cold out side so it sounds like a perfect excuse to do some weaving.
 
Today my Libre shows 5.5 to 6.5 all night but as soon as I woke it went to 9.4 Perhaps I should sleep all day at least I would miss the doom and gloom news.
Professional advice seems unavailable, so could anyone comment on the dose for Novarapid please? After diagnosis I was given 2.5x3, my understanding was to maintain that, however, lately I’m thinking the important point is to keep levels down so I slowly increased (while reducing carbs) now I’m on 5x3 plus 4.5 Lantus at night. Which is worse high insulin or high scores?
 
Morning all. 6.9 after a better night last night. Slept with cushion between my knees which helped and only woke a few times. It is very grey, dismal, windy and raining here but to be honest I don’t mind, it feels nice and cosy in our van. My brother and SIL came down yesterday and we went to my favourite pub for a meal which was lovely. Enjoy your day everyone and stay safe x

People are normally started on conservative doses, and then adjust them to their own needs. You need what you need, and the target is good blood sugar readings. Have you been offered a carb counting course? They’ve put most of them on line. I did the BERTIE course, https://www.bertieonline.org.uk/ because I wasn’t offered anything by my HCPs.

The aim for each of us to keep our levels in target range as much as we can (remembering that it is impossible to do this all the time). It is not bad to be on more insulin. We each need what we need, so with your overnight levels looking so fabulous you are really settling into a pattern that is working for you. The 9.4 in the morning once you are up sounds like Dawn Phenomonon. I like the idea of sleeping to avoid it. If only we could.

You will probably gradually need more insulin as time goes by. Just keep monitoring, reviewing and adjusting, ....... monitoring, reviewing and adjusting, ......
 
A 6.4 for me at 07:28 this morning. Been to the flu clinic at the surgery and had my jab.
 
4.8 when I awoke late this morning.

Saw my sister and family last night for the 1st time in 3 months. Won’t see them again for a while as they’re in a lockdown area. Had a nice time. Sad to depart though.

Have a good rest of the day all
