Group 7-day waking average?

Morning good peeps. 🙂 7.5 here.

Bonfire night - I’ve never seen my dogs so scared! Luckily, just one local household was letting off fireworks last night and no-one on the same street. Gwen tried to crawl into my sweatshirt and Bloden was doing a great impression of a (hairy) jelly. They seem to have recovered their composure this morning. Phew!o_O:D
 
Morning all. Well....after a false hypo at 9pm last night (last 12 hrs of sensor), i went to bed at 5.3 with a small snack to stop an overnight drop. Slept straight through for a change but woke to 13, finger prick confirmed!!! Graph shows its been like it most of the night. That explains the sluggish feeling in my head this morning. This sensor has been really good up until the last 12 hours.
Anyway, its FRIDAY!!!! Have a good day everyone
 
4.8 for me this morning. 🙂
I think a trip to Marks & Sparks is on the cards, to stock up on some of their delicious food.

Morning all, 8.2 this morning. Didn’t do anything different, was 6.0 before bed, usual basal. Am between Libre sensors at the moment, I do miss having one on, to tell me if it was a slow rise all night or a morning bounce back.
Edit. Half an hour later I was a more respectable 6.2. Meter variation?

7.7 today after my first meatballs and spaghetti since diagnosis, very little spaghetti.
Misty (my dog) is still in bed. She’s probably exhausted after spending 3 nights shaking, panting and dribbling. So many fireworks last night and just when I thought they had stopped they started again. She has a thunder hood and comfort coat but it does t make a great deal of difference, so sad to see. More cleaning today - how thrilling.
Have a good one all, stay safe x
 
6.0 on the nose for me this morning and BT have just arrived to sort out my misbehaving broadband connection. It’s dropping out at random times during the day. Usually it’s doing it when I’m on a video call with work of course.

Happy Friday all!
 
A 5.8 for me this morning at 06:02. Tried a new recipe last night that was delicious. Tom Kerridge's "Braised Beef with Horseradish" from his Dopamine Diet book.

Misty on the drive to school this morning (much better than the dense fog yesterday). The sun had burnt off the mist by the time I was heading home but we have some clouds now after the last two beautiful sunny days. Looks like the weather is changing.

Think you are on the wrong thread here @ColinUK Did you mean this to go in the Group 7 Day Waking Average
 
Before breakfast (breakfast was 8ish, don't have exact time) today: 6.8
At 12:15pm (nothing since breakfast) : 7.4
HCP have actually managed to get blood out, which I'd been having problems with.
 
6.2 for me this morning but only after another 2x carb top ups during the night. Worst of it is that I bottled out of taking that single unit of Levemir last night having decided that I would rather wake up high as risk another hypo. Good news is that I caught myself before I dropped too low so had 15g carb at 1.30am when my reading was 4.7 and then another 10g at 5.30am when it was 4.3 and dropping.
I have cut another 2 units off my Levemir (down to 16units) this morning and with the exercise I have done so far that is keeping me bang on target. The only other thing I can do tonight is maybe have some protein at bedtime and go to bed on a higher number with no evening basal again. So much for splitting Levemir dose... I am back to a single injection. Not that I am complaining. Just 3 injections a day is something I can happily get used to if I can just keep out of the red!

Absolutely glorious day here today and my bee hives are all buzzing with activity and lots of pollen and nectar being taken in. They are mostly working the ivy but there is still the odd Himalayan Balsam in bloom which they absolutely love both for pollen and nectar.... it makes really lovely honey.
Pleased to report my GGs all survived the fireworks without incident. I went out and checked them at 11pm before bed when most of the fireworks were finished. They are happier out in the field than being confined to a stable especially when fireworks are going off and it was a lovely night last night. It makes me think about the poor horses on the battle fields of old that had to cope with cannon and rifle fire.
Hope everyone is able to get out into the fresh air and enjoy this beautiful day.
 
Yay! Finally today I made it past the point whereI DIDN’T conk out straight after eating dinner & couldn’t resist sharing my relived joy at that! 😛😎:D😉

I’ve been sleeping these past few days for NI or The Causeway Coast: KOed right after eating dinner, up about 4 hours later, midnight basal, eating breakfast VERY early in the morning then at some point around the time you lot are getting up I doze off & wake in time for midday meds etc. 5 minutes, eat lunch & eat dinner!o_O I even cautiously tried an extra minute today which was a bit much, I have to say, so back down to 5 tomorrow: next week will come soon enough when I’m supposed to increase by another 5; I’ll increase it to where I’m comfortable at!🙄

I’ll hopefully last a bit longer yet before sleeping tonight & be in for a very good shot for a waking BS around the time you lot get up & be back in sync with everybody else?🙄:D😉
 
Morning

Well got 2 presents for Bruce ordered yesterday and for my mum, grandad I’m not sure what to get, last year I did a gift bag of jams, tea bags and sweets so might just do similar this year, he raved about Morrison’s own version of after eights that I gave him for his birthday so I’ll have to pop a box of them in at least! lol

6.6 today

Morning all. :D 9.5 here...hmmm, maybe my Tresiba needs ramping up!

The excitement! I’ve been looking fwd to this moment all week - we’ve run out of various items and I need to do a big supermarket shop, yay! I get to drive 5 miles and push a shopping trolley and...wait for it...chat to people that aren’t my husband and dogs. :D😱:D

Enjoy the weekend folks.
 
Morning All, Hope everyone is as good as can be , my weekly read is 5.7 this morning .
