Group 7-day waking average?

Got a bit distracted by golf so, a bit late at 2 hours & 21 minutes after breakfast 06:32 BS 11.5 is a bit too high so, 2 unit correction: will stick with the same NR doses today, then & not reduce; try reducing again tomorrow. Possibly reducing too much at once with LR AND NR? 🙄
 
4.9 this morning. Broke the two month (ish) record of keeping within the 5's.
 
4.7 for me this morning on the Libre.... haven't checked with a finger prick. Very happy with that as I dropped my evening Levemir down to 2 units and had a correction unit of Fiasp because I didn't bolus my chick pea and chorizo soup last night before I ate it and it took me up from 5 to 11 at bedtime. Thought I might have got away with it after all the exercise I had during the day but disappointingly not!

@Veenorthants
Did you check the carb content of the burgers. Usually meat has much less carbs than plant based meat replacements, so good quality quarter pounders that have not been made with rusk... check the labelling... are a better option for your diabetes (if you aren't a vegetarian)... and sweet potatoes are as carb rich as ordinary potatoes or parsnips.... As you can see from my post above, a bowl of chick pea and chorizo soup took me up from 5-11.
"Healthy" is only relevant to what your body can tolerate...Carbs are our nemesis as diabetics so you need to be aware of reducing those... I appreciate you say you didn't have a bun with your burger, but you have to look at everything. Were there cherry tomatoes in the salad and if so, how many? Again they can pack a BG punch. I stick to no more than 2 with a salad, but I do have the benefit of insulin and I am pretty active.
 
An 8.4 this morning, looks like the DP is visiting again, an hour ago it was around 6.0, no explanation, don’t you just Love diabetes lol
Well have a great day everyone!!
 
@rebrascora thank you for your response, I did check the carbs and they were 6.4g so didn't think that was too bad, I'm putting it down to the sweet potato I cant think of anything else that I had. Have to say it was delicious especially topped with a little bit of stilton 😉 I had on the vine tomatoes on my salad as our supermarkets appear to not have cherry tomatoes at the mo 🙄

Morning all. :D 7.9 here.

I hope Pablo recovers quickly @Michael12421. Have you been able to change your urology appointment?

Looks wild out there. We won’t just have our cobwebs blown away on this morning’s walk!😳

No I just old them that I was unable to get to the hospital. They will send me another appointment 'in due course'.
 
Morning all. 5.6 for me this morning. The old D doesn't seem to like being messed around with in work/work from home/weekend routine, levels are a bit messy. I could do with upping basal slightly but even half a unit makes a big difference with such inconsistency in the days. Ho hum, will stay on this level and try my best to work around them.
Off to Sainsburys quick this morning to get mums shopping before back to home working again.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe, dry and warm.
 
Morning

Snap @Robin 6.6 here too

We're supposed to take the brunt of storm Christoph tonight, weather warnings out for heavy snow, I'll believe it when I see it like! 🙄

Bruce's 34th today, scheduled a Happy Birthday text to be sent and 00:07 and he replied about 7:20, I bought him a personalised whisky glass which he says he loves, a large box of milk tray and there's £14 scheduled to enter his account today for a bottle of the bourbon he's on at the moment

Received an appointment letter for ophthalmology in the post yesterday, it was cancelled right away, I'm just not ready and as they still aren't allowing people with you its something I'm truly uncomfortable with, I have glasses already as you know and my eyes do have scarring after my numerous rounds of treatment so my sight is even worse after a check up, I really do need someone with me to deal with the stairs etc
xx
 
5.1 this morning. 🙂
Still wet and miserable out there. 🙄
Alexa just informed me that there's only recycle day and Tesco delivery to look forward to.

Stay safe and well.

4.8 and moody today Grrrrrr
 
A 5.9 for me today on a wet and wild Berkshire morning. Not too bad walking out to do the chickens but felt it coming back into the wind and rain. Makes a change from dull and damp but sunshine would be nice. Lots of snowdrops getting ready to bloom in the garden so I say roll on spring!

Dropped below 15st 5lbs today so I have achieved my first weight goal of the year which was to have lost more than four and a half stone. Now to get into the 14 stone bracket....
 
Morning all, 6.7 today but as I didn’t eat since 1.30 yesterday afternoon is a little high for my liking!!
@Kaylz Im surprised they won’t let someone go with you if you will have a problem seeing properly afterwards, doesn’t make sense.
@adrian1der well done on your huge weight loss, keep it going.
@Michael12421 hope your friend recovers very soon.
Have a good day all. Not much happening here x
 
Morning. Yep up late again. A very unusual ( for me) 4.9. Feeling better today but didn’t sleep very well, very hot and sweaty, menopause or fever coming out? Dreamt I was going to Joe Biden’s inauguration and was too busy getting everyone else ready I didn’t have time to get myself ready! It’s not that I’m a fan of Biden, although he seems a nice enough chap, but I suppose his USP is he isn’t Trump!
More rain forecast for us today, yesterday was horrendous our road flooded so I’m guessing the river will have burst it’s banks. Do I go
down and have a look? 😉 Have a good day and stay safe and dry.🙂

It really doesn't, I can't wear my glasses after the drops as it distorts things even more, I can't see to press the button in the lift and Bruce needs to take my hand to get up the numerous sets of stairs in the hospital and also to whichever level of the car park his mum is as there's no way I do buses, not just for the pandemic reason but after 1 appointment via bus I fell down the stairs when I tried to get off so its been a no no since but thems the rules unfortunately, was pushing it a bit anyway seen as the letter arrived yesterday and they wanted me there next Tuesday! xx
 
@Kaylz yes definitely don’t go on your own. Although they say no-one can go with you they do allow it for special circumstances which surely would cover you. Might be worth a phone call when you are given another appointment x

My next one might get cancelled too, all depends whether I feel ready or not, I know how important it is of course but things like what I'm going through don't change overnight and I'd also need it suitable for Bruce to get the day off which is difficult considering lack of staff and also that his mum was off to drive us as well as my dad wouldn't help, haven't heard a peep from him since Christmas Eve despite texting numerous times xx
