Group 7-day waking average?

Even the iPhone 12 mini is too big for me & I’m glad I didn’t wait for it to come out: knew when I bought iPhone SE that the 12 mini would be launching soon but, my old iPhone 6 was ONLY just about manageable in my small size 5 hand; the price had just dropped considerably for the SE too after the launch of iPhone 12. Because of the retina display, my 1st iOS device with it, the SE looks MUCH bigger than it is when watching videos on it & much lighter to hold in my hand! 🙄🙂

The iPhone SE is exceptional value and a good choice.

A dodgy 10 today, fitted a new sensor for my pump and 9 hours later it crapped out with change sensor, too late to start a new one so set the pump to manual and went to sleep, apparently the pump was bleeping all night according to my wife but I never heard it lol.
Quarterly diabetic visit for bloods today and a CT scan for my broken leg regeneration so I’m quite excited to see if I can get the metal out of my leg soon fingers crossed.
Everyone have a great day!!

A very respectable 58% (7.5%) for my HBA1C this morning, I'm quite happy with that !
 
Well @Anitram looks like we both got Tier 3 :(
 
West Berks is running at 174 - I work from home and only venture out for the school run and shopping so little impact on us as well
 
Afternoon
An 11 for me again. Now I can hear you saying why isn't she changing her Tejeou again. Well because I am tweaking other things including medication and trying to get a consistant set of results. If I do increase my basal you can bet I will get hypos during the day. Its the next thing to try.
 
@Inamuddle trying to bring balance to your body by regular testing and adjusting must be very challenging for you and all T1's. I take my bobble hat off to you! 🙂
 
@Inamuddle Far better to be too high as too low. Take your time to tweak and adjust things. You can always correct a high fasting reading with a bit of quick acting insulin at breakfast.... and that Toujeo seems to be tricky stuff so you are wise to be careful with increasing the dose.
No one here is judging you on your morning readings, but do keep us posted with the different strategies you are trying to deal with it, firstly so we know you are working on it and secondly so others can perhaps learn from the different things you are trying.... Like... I have had problems with night time hypos despite reducing my evening basal to zero so I have been increasing my BG at bedtime with slow release foods like protein and fat to help stabilise my levels through the night.

Have you tried setting an alarm for something like 2 or 3am and testing then to see if your high levels on a morning might be down to Dawn Phenomenon, rather than running high all night.... if that makes sense.
 
Hi Barbara, thank you for your concern. I have always had rubbish bs it's a surprise that I am still alive i think. My aim has been to stop the swings from highs to lows. So a steady reading throughout the day is good. Some days it has been around 6 all day. Today it has been higher. At the moment i am trying to sort my thyroid meds.
Most importantly i am trying to fight the depression and the loneliness and the fact that trying to do even basic tasks feels impossible. Coming onto the forum has been a real boost. Thank you everyone

@Bexlee, we can do it!
Ha..i know exactly how you feel! Our 5-7yr olds are excited, tired, fussy and i'm shattered trying to be so upbeat every day. I've done all the christmas cards, inserts and calendars with them. Today, i need to wrap their presents in between doing work with them and this afternoon is party afternoon. I'm looking forward to 4pm when i'll get home and crash on the sofa. Its a lovely time of year to work with the kids but exhausting
Anyway, 5.0 for me this morning.
Have a good day everyone

I’m not sure I could “do” little kids with cut and stick?! Parties! My sister does little kids sounds stressful. I like control far too much. We had the complexity of density calculations (if only they’d listen to the instructions!) and electrolysis today oh and chromatography Christmas cards with year 7 now that was traumatic when they had scissors out and little bits everywhere! Quizzes tomorrow ..... have a great last day @freesia
 
Morning all,
Snap with @Michael12421 with a 5.6 also!
Still tier 2 here in West Sussex but had a meal booked 'Twixmas' in a restaurant now 50 yards over the Surrey border :(
You can see where this one is going...
Ah well, onwards and upwards.
Yuk weather outside too.
Blessings Snowwy
 
5.5 this morning.

Well done Alex, the new Masterchef Pro. Three brilliant chefs, very difficult to separate.
 
Morning a 5.4 after a 2.3 at just after midnight. Last day of term, I assume it’ll be a little chaotic with the clever suggestion last minutes of a staggered return, on-line teaching and mass testing in schools. If you read the news article the government suggestion of get a parent or governor to do the tests !? The mind boggles.

Have a good day.

He was the only one who didn’t really put a foot wrong in the final though and a really well deserved win.
 
Morning. 6.4. Friday is babysitting day and today is our last day of providing “informal and unpaid childcare” as our little Sadie turns three on the 30th of this month and is going to pre school on the 4th January. :( I can’t believe it, where does the time go? We’ll miss her very much, she truly is a little angel, but time for her to enter the next stage in her life. We’ll have a year off and new granddaughter, due in March, will also need “ informal and unpaid childcare” by this time next year. No rest for the wicked! Have a fantastic Friday. Seven sleeps!:D
Great show last night @HenryBennett a very deserving winner and two amazing runners up. They will all go far in their careers, I’m sure.
 
Alex’s restaurant currently charges £15 for a three course lunch. I expect that will go up quite a bit next year!
