Group 7-day waking average?

Are you saying your normal breakfast will send you higher , I often find I am lower after eating in the morning.

It seems to have been the trend for the last few days since I’ve started testing. I’m waking high then I’m unable to get it down all day. Yesterday I had one reading in target (7.9) before tea so I was already at my post meal target before eating.
I’ve just had one slice of burgen toast with marmite.
 
A sunny morning and a 4.0 😎
 
She’s here! We are so relieved. 6lbs 1oz which is great for five weeks early. Low temperature and low blood sugars( somewhat ironic) but otherwise fine. Abby is absolutely exhausted, couldn’t ring as no signal in hospital and then she conked out! Mr Eggy and I have bawled our eyes out. No name as yet.
Forgot to say, they’ll be staying in for at least three days and of course no visitors allowed. :(

Congratulations!!!!! That's a good weight for 5 weeks pre term, so hopefully they will do well enough to be home quickly.

I can’t stop crying, it’s been such a stressful three days. But yes so proud. Grandchild number 5, 4 of them girls! We’ll never be rich, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
 
Another disappointing reading of 8.3 this morning after a 2 unit correction 2 hours earlier and I was above the green band all night so that has wrecked my already average TIR. I even increased my evening Levemir from 2 to 4.5units which I thought was maybe a tad risky. I was in the mid 5s at bedtime so had 2 cheese and biscuits (3g each) with a cup of low cal hot choc (10g). That sent me up to 13.3 and climbing so 2unit correction then had to go in! Feel like I am playing chase the dragon's tail again!

@merrymunky How about some yoghurt and berries and nuts and seeds for breakfast? I am guessing you can get vegetarian yoghurt? Exercise can be a huge help with bringing those morning levels down though. I am sure Eris would enjoy a brisk daily walk if you don't already and if you do, try to increase the distance and pace so that you get a little out of breath, rather than just a stroll. I know it will be difficult to find the time but if you can, it really should help.

@eggyg Many congratulations. At that weight I imagine Abby is relieved she came early! Hope they both recover from the ordeal quickly and can soon head home.
 
I could think of better ways.... surely not too early for champagne! Enjoy!
 
🙂@eggyg just wonderful news, I’m nearly crying along with you. What a desperate time for you all but with a happy ending and what a great weight, many full term babies are not that. Hoping Abby gets some well deserved rest before she comes home and many congratulations to you all 🙂 xx
 
Hi 8.2 this morning
Congratulations @eggyg
Thank you @SueEK and @Newbie777 for your comments
I can't really talk about the depression but after 11 months of mostly shielding it is not improving. With no job to go back to and not much chance of getting another one at the moment and needing my cateract sorted before i can drive again i am struggling to find a way forward.
