Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone. Woke to a 3.8, rising to 4.8 after some juice.
Last day of home workinh today, in work tomorrow and friday and back full time from next week.
@Gwynn i'm glad the GP wouldn't make the changes with your wife's meds. Its good she trusts the Constant though.
 
Morning

9.9 for me today
xx
 
Morning everyone. 5.4. Managed a wee lie in, was awake at 5 worrying but dozed off. Now I’m up and worrying! Thought my baby and her baby would be coming home today but unfortunately baby has jaundice and was under the UV light last night. Good news is her blood cultures came back clear and so the little one is off the antibiotics. She’s also feeding a bit better. Hopefully I’ll have good news to tell you tomorrow. In the meantime another photo. Have a great day. 🙂

I’d say she’s a very fortunate baby being born into a family so overflowing with love 🙂
 
4.5 for me abit moody today maybe because the sun does not have his hat on.
 
5.7 and although I’ve got a day off today I’m in Zoom calls from 09:30 - 15:00. Mainly lawyers conference and talking with counsel about the case and court strategies.
Then I’ll veg out to fluff on TV I think.
 
A 5.5 for me at 06:52 Cold and foggy here in West Berkshire. Hopefully it will burn off again although we are forecast rain showers this afternoon.

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

I test every day. Type2. Average each day between 6.5 and 7.5 but does fluctuate up to 8.5 sometimes

What were you this morning? As you'll see people post their morning scores and little updates by way of a check in each day

Not yet tested. Will be done in next half hour

What time did you wake up? I'd suggest taking a reading pretty soon after waking up. For example I check mine when I go to the bathroom after getting out of bed. That then becomes a habit and it's a baseline which is a constant check. I may or may not check other times during the day and again usually just before bed.
 
Well my reading was 5.2 this morning but I am not claiming it as a House Special as it wasn't a fasting reading considering I needed to consume 6 Lift tablets and 2 malted milk biscuits through the early hours to get me there!! As you can tell by the amount of hypo treatment it was a bit of a rough night! Don't understand! A couple of nights ago I used 5 units of evening Levemir and hypoed. The next night I cut it to 4 and woke up on 8.3 having been high (9-11) all night and I had been busy in the garden the previous day which I would have expected to drop my levels. Last night I went for the middle ground at 4.5units and had 2 naughty, stubborn hypos in the 2s! No alcohol last night either so that doesn't factor into the equation.
My evening meal last night was bacon with cabbage, leeks and mushrooms. I ate really early for me at 5pm (probably a mistake) but needed 3 units of Fiasp despite there being no appreciable carbs on my plate. I was a pretty stable 5.7 at bedtime (10.30pm) so I had a chocolate leberkuchen (left over from Christmas) 22g carbs and shot myself 1 unit of Fiasp, so effectively 12g carbs unbolused to bring my levels up.
The DF is just not playing fair with me this morning. Inclined to agree with @Robin that DF and Dawn have likely been at an illegal rave somewhere and are both now off their heads and creating mayhem!

@Michael12421 Your comment and morning reading suggest you were pretty stressed yesterday. Would you like to share any details of your difficult day with us? Hope you are OK and starting to feel a bit better. I hate waking up with high readings more than low ones... I know I shouldn't admit that but even though I had 2 hypos last night and obviously disturbed sleep as a result, I feel so much more positive than days when I wake high. It really seems to affect my mental outlook.

@Gwynn So pleased that she got a locum who obviously knew they didn't know enough to make any changes. I think a GP who knows their limits of experience is better than one who is overly confident. Being referred back to the consultant is by far the best course of action and if your wife has faith in the consultant too then that has to be reassuring for everyone.

@merrymunky The DF is testing your resolve. Stick at it! She will give up in the end and you will win and get those positive results you are desperate to see. Fingers crossed tomorrow morning will show some encouraging progress.
 
I booked a call from my doctor in mid-February and was told to wait 16 days for the call. It was due at 11.30 yesterday but didn't happen. Got back on the site and re-booked a call - 15th March!!!. I don't usually lunch but I did yesterday - just a tuna sandwich. Got back from a walk with Missy at 4pm and started to shake and shiver. I know that it is only 19 degrees here but my house is warm. Took a reading and it was 14.2 so dinner was out of the question. I was then so violently sick that I thought of going to bed but even I am not that decadent. I stayed up until 7pm but I gashed my thumb badly on a bit of metal - blood eveywhere. Was not sick in the night thank goodness. Apart from diabetic care I have lauded the health service but now I am being let down badly. Not a day I want repeated.

Hi and welcome to the thread. As @adrian1der mentioned, we tend to post our daily morning fasting readings now rather than the original "7-day average" the title suggests.
Ideally a fasting reading is best taken just before or as soon as you get out of bed because there is something called Dawn Phenomenon (DP) or Foot on the Floor (FOTF) syndrome which causes your levels to rise on a morning so the longer you leave it the less good your reading may be, even if you don't eat breakfast, as your liver will start to pump out glucose to help fuel your muscles for the day ahead.
Glad you have joined us and hope to see you post again tomorrow morning. What part of the world are you in? Hope you are in the west as I think they are getting sunshine today whereas here in the north east it is cool and dull and not expected to get any better as the day goes on unfortunately. Last few days have been glorious though!

That is a bit of a bummer! Hope you booked the March appointment and it goes to plan.

As regards not having dinner because your reading was high, if you tested at 4pm on your return from the walk when you felt unwell, then a conservative correction then should have brought you down to a reasonable level to have an evening meal. There is no reason why you should go to bed without food unless you don't feel like eating anything and even then it might be wise to bolus and have some carbs like some juice or a biscuit or cake. Having been sick after lunch (and knowing you, probably didn't have any breakfast) your body would be going into famine mode overnight and your liver will have been working overtime to produce glucose and may now be depleted, so please go steady on any corrections/bolus injections today as you could easily swing the other way. Be particularly careful when you are out in the campo this afternoon walking Missy as that is when a hypo could hit you. Please test before you go and make sure you have jelly babies with you and consciously monitor how you are feeling whilst you are out. I know it is easy to get distracted but please be more aware today after that bad day yesterday.
 
Good morning all, proper nippy here but bright.
