Group 7-day waking average?

@rebrascora

Hi Barbara, it‘s the first time I’ve been unable to make sense of my reading (and thanks for your comments).
I didn’t make any adjustment and it’s back to normal this morning.
I had a busy day. Did almost all of my exercise along with cleaning - vacuuming and steam cleaning kitchen & hall floors.
But I ate some of the wrong things - chocolate, mince pies and a few small roast potatoes. We had tea early to quiz with family via Zoom. I was five minutes short of my exercise target, so did it spinning on the exercise bike just before going to bed. I was expecting a reading in the 6’s but got my first under 4. I took a small, weak whisky & water to bed.

Have a great day. Henry
 
5.2 today!!

Must be because all I did yesterday was taste all the cooking but didn’t really “eat” anything.
Lord only knows what tomorrow’s number will be!

Happy Christmas one and all!

Congratulations on the HS @ColinUK 🙂
That's a Gary Larson isn't it - my favourite cartoonist.
 
Well done @ColinUK! Not begrudging you that House Special one iota today. Congratulations!

My scales gave me my Christmas present just now. Been stuck on 9st9lbs for the past week, just refusing to budge but just got on them and they very kindly gave me a 9st 7.8lbs... My target weight was 9 1/2st so I am classing that as having made it. Yay! Problem is, now I am tempted to see if I can take it down to 9st straight, since I am on a roll! I have also managed to improve my TIR up to 88% for the last week with just 2% below so I will not be having a day off today from my diabetes. Got my rib eye steak and mushrooms and salad and lots of cheese coleslaw in the fridge for tonight!.... Enjoy your turkey guys! Heading out to ride my handsome horse, Rebel and then have a bonfire I think. Perfect day for it and both good for the soul!
 
I was 5.6 around 7am after eating 2 smuggled in mints. I’m feeling very grateful for hospital care and got moved to step down ward late last night. Getting a turkey Christmas dinner later, how edible it will be I don’t know but will be appreciated.
Happy Christmas everyone x
 
Merry Christmas everyone, a nice 6.5 after an Xmas eve indulgence of a dinner I’m more than happy, nice and sunny here so a walk on the beach with the dog is in order
Have a good one everyone
P.S. Santa brought me an Apple Watch setting it up to monitor all my lovely vital signs and exercise today
 
Merry Christmas everyone. 6.4 for me this morning.
@rebrascora, a ride and a bonfire sounds perfect. Enjoy.
Being on our own we planned to go for a walk this afternoon but a phone call yesterday afternoon scuppered that. Have to self isolate until 29th as someone at school tested positive. Oh well, only 4 days until i can get out.

Have a lovely day everyone whatever your plans are. X
 
Merry Christmas everyone. After being high yesterday i was very careful to bring my blood sugars down. Only to wake with a 14 this morning! OH NO no reason why, i haven't been on the mince pies. After 15g of carbs and 10 units of novorapid it went even higher. I had gone out for a walk with my granddaughter and daughter and couldn't correct it as didn't take my insulin. Its coming down a bit now. 3 wholemeal crackers with cheese for Christmas lunch and half an apple plus another 10 units of novorapid. It must be the teojeo again playing up. Off for another walk although i really fancy the idea of a bonfire.
Glad to hear that you are on the mend Jade.
Husband got chocolate fridge cake from my daughter and is happily eating it for his lunch and they wonder why i hate Christmas.
 
Congratulations on your HS @ColinUK :D😉

Merry Christmas everyone & a Very Good Day mates to you all! :D😉

Now, get ready for this shocker! 😱 13:56 BS 11.3!😱😱😱😳😛:D😉
I had a long day yesterday of stuffing myself on Christmas dinner, chocolate yule log & coke & my highest reading, despite all the extra insulin, was 17.4 after Christmas dinner as I STILL under bolused & ate seconds! 😱🙄:D😛 Talk about a blowout!o_O But, I wasn’t unduly worried, stuck in a big correction. Then, after dinner & before bed I had the last chunk of chocolate yule log & obviously stuck in too little bolus for that as well! Ah, well! It’s only the one day & I’ll be a bit better today: still Christmas dinner leftovers to eat; detoxing & being an abstaining, good little angel that can start behaving herself again on Boxing Day!:D😉

Obviously midday LR & meds is even later today & there maybe be a bit of DP & basal being late that contributed to my waking whopper, the biggest I can remember, waking figure today but, TBH, probably not THAT much! 😳:D😉

Well! I’ve had my NAUGHTY day yesterday & I look forward to reading about you lot’s naughty day in tomorrow’s post! :D😉 It’s Christmas, let loose a bit, eat, drink & be merry: what Christmas is all about; can detox & be good again in another day, or two!o_O😛😉
 
Afternoon folks and Merry Christmas!

No I haven't been asleep until now! LOL

Woke to 7.7 (4 digestive and a chipolata induced) and then proceeded to spend a lot of the morning trundling along in the low 4's despite Lift tabs, 7.2 before Christmas dinner so not overly disappointed, I had no say in what amount of meat went onto my plate this year so there was far more than past years! Tasty as though, pudding was a wedge of double chocolate yule log = fab! Then proceeded to eat another couple of wedges of sausage meat 😳

Hope your all having a lovely day!
xx
 
Merry Christmas one and all. Hope everyone is having / has had a lovely day.

A 4.1 when I woke to peace and quiet at 10.15. Not the same been away from the nephews and niece on Christmas Day. Thank goodness for FaceTime and the volume button!!! when they get excited !

Hope you’re on @freesia. I dread getting “that” phone call

Santa brought me a Kindle Oasis. I almost forgot I was meant to be making Christmas lunch!!! Ooops.

Chocolate log sounds yum @lz

Only 24g carbs, your new so won't know but I suffered an eating disorder for the first few years after my diagnosis (irrational fear of carbs) so this is a huge deal to me, other years I've done it but always had a meltdown and shook and everything so it may be stupid to others but I'm rather proud of how far I've come this year xx
