Group 7-day waking average?

No and if that’s the only medication you take it must be something else. Do you have them more when you are stressed or is it very hit and miss. Have you mentioned it to your GP, it’s not very nice if you are having nightmares a lot x

Yup only that and insulin I'm on, I don't even take over the counter medication when I could sometimes do with it lol, I've always had nightmares growing up but can't say I'm especially stressed at the moment, no never bothered mentioning it as as I say had them all of my life so it's nothing out of the ordinary, just 2 nights ago was very distressing with them carrying on all night xx
 
@Inamuddle thanks and you too! Lack of sleep is a nightmare itself! lol xx

No I don't anymore, when I was trying to gain weight I did and it never had that effect on me xx

Yes that didn’t sound very nice at all. Personally I would mention it, though admit I don’t know what causes them, other than some medications x

I don't see the need to mention it myself, they have far bigger things and people that need help rather than me bothering them with something that's been happening since I was a child, thanks though xx

That's what I was told and then they said the liver would catch up the next day and readings would go up. I stopped drinking around 9pm and I was at 7.5 from then until 11:30. I have an enzyme in my liver that doesn't like alcohol very much (I do!) but I don't know what that actually does or doesn't do.

A-ha - I get it now. I spent most of the day running about 0.8 higher than the past few days until late afternoon. So did some exercise and spiked at 8.1 when I got back. Hoping it will now plummet (moderately) for a great fasting read tomorrow.
 
7.6 today, nothing to add really. Have a good day x
 
Morning all. Another 9.2 this morning. I’m starting to get quite disheartened as I have been eating well and the weight just isn’t coming off either at the moment. I don’t know what I did when I was first diagnosed that’s so different to what I’m doing now!
 
Good morning. Its a 5.0 this morning

The appointment for my wife with the GP yesterday was not what I expected. Some locum came on the phone and could not say or do anything but, thankfully, refered my wife back to the consultant. It was at that point that my wife admitted that she had already arranged an appointment with the consultant but had not told me. So no steps forward yesterday (or backward).

However, I am grateful for the way things turned out as the locum was next to useless, her GP seems to be incompetent and negligent, but the consultant seems to be very good and she trusts him.

I am still very angry at the GP (who is not an expert in mental illness) who agreed to my wife stopping her antipsychotic meds which resulted in her being sectioned some short time later. It wasn't just that. My wifes behaviour and thinking deteriorated and caused serious long term harm to the rest of the family.
 
Good Morning world
5.3 @ 06.30 today
 
4.5 for me today. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Gooood morning! :D 5.3 here.

It’s my big bother’s 60th birthday today. He works with one of his daughters, so he won’t be completely on his lonesome, which is a relief. I just hope he likes the traditional Welsh blanket I got him. Once we’re all safely out of lockdown, there’ll be LOTS of catch-up parties...can’t wait!😛
 
Morning all, 7.0 here. The return of Dawn, who has been strangely absent recently. I reckon she’s been holding illicit lockdown drinking sessions with the Diabetes Fairy, and we should dob them both in.
