Group 7-day waking average?

3.4

Followed later by the longest but very uneventful hypo I remember, with my DSN plying me with alternate Lucozade and custard creams (my most un-favourites at the best of times!)

She thinks one of me 'lumps' (or possibly one of the dents LOL) my be saying 'Hi, you seem to have forgotten me but I'm still here and so have jumped out to say Helloooo!'

12 years mutter mutter mutter.
 
Good morning 3.6 for me ....... to low
 
5.4 for me this morning. Amanda x 🙂
 
8.00 for me - could crying all evening and not eating any dinner account for that?

Oh Barb! Sorry to hear that, and yes... emotional turmoil/stress can have an effect on BG levels, as can not eating (if the liver goes into 'starvation' mode and begins to release more glucose)
 
7.1 for me this morning
 
4.2 for me 🙂
 
7.1 this morning.

5.3 from me this morning (despite over indulging in food last night 😱) but woke to a 4.3 yesterday...

I'm now trying to cut down on food in the evening (which was always
my main meal of the day) and spread it out a bit earlier in the day, so
that my body has a chance to use up any sugar/starch while I'm still
active. Actually, I've found that experimenting with different kinds of
food helps as well, and have concluded that the Atkins diet wasn't so
stupid after all. By sticking to just lean meat/fish/poultry and vegetables,
you can keep your blood sugar lower than anything else. I used to think
I was being healthy by eating lots of wholemeal/brown rice/pasta/bread,
as it's high-fibre, which slows the absorbtion of food, but have found -
through home glucose measurement - that *any* kind of rice/pasta/
bread - although it doesn't contain sugar - does contain starch, which
is simply a polymer of glucose and is fairly quickly digested to glucose
in the stomach. But meat is almost all protein, and salad vegetables
are mainly fibre/vitamins/water. So Atkins wasn't completely loopy.
Although he ate so much fat with his meat that he was about 60-70
pounds overweight, and if he hadn't slipped on ice outside his home
and cracked his head open on the pavement, he would probably have
croaked from a coronary or had a stroke before long anyway! :D

Btw, mine's usually 5.5-6.0, but that's only because I take my third
tablet of the day last thing at night, so that it's still working while
I'm asleep, and I don't wake up with it too high.

Regards,
Mike

Yes, I used to love getting a Sweat & Sour takeaway on the way home
from work. But I've since realised that most of the sugar is in the pot of
sauce they give you with it. So if you just eat the pork/chicken balls
and the rice on their own (a bit tasteless, but not too bad) and pour
the pot of sauce down the sink, you're cutting out most of the sugar!🙂

Hope that's a typo Mike, or is it a specialist caterer you go to? 😉
 
A silly 9.3 this morning. Was hypo before bed for about an hour so decided to go for it and, after having a JB + 3 crackers (3g each), I'd treat the subsequent 3.8 with another 2 JBs and another cracker. Didn't bother to retest half hour later. Silly.

@Mike - Have you tried combining the quality protein (meat, fish, egg) with some starch to lower the overall GI and provide some fibre to ease the protein through ? Some wholegrain bread or pasta in small quantities may be possible. I don't speak form any experience particularly, just speculation, but I'd be interested to know. 🙂

I thought Mike had got mixed up and was referring to Thai food, eg Hot & Sour soup! LOL

A 6.9 for me, hardly surprising considering yesterday, thought I got off quite lightly really in all the circs; wonder what surprises today will bring!
 
Sadly I woke on an 11.7 this morning :( my own fault for having a few cheeky slices of pizza last night. I even put a temporary basal on for 120% for 2.5 hours but it wasn't enough. Devil's food!
