Group 7-day waking average?

Congrats @goodybags on the House Special. 🙂
 
Good morning all. 6.3 for me this morning and hoping today is not going to be like yesterday, hypos left right and centre with no idea why.
@goodybags congratulations on the HS.
Have a good sunday everyone.
 
@goodybags Congratulations from me too on your House Special this morning.

@freesia I think our BG levels have twinned. I had a record breaking 4 hypos yesterday! I need to get a grip!
The odd thing is that I ate a really tricky meal last night with a mass of carbs at the end (I found an individual Xmas pud in the back of the cupboard) So on top of the 3.5 units i had for my ratatouille with mozzarella followed by a few strawberries, i then got incredibly brave/blaze and shot myself 5.5 extra units and had the xmas pud with the last bit of mascapone cheese I had in the fridge. I had an hour or so where my levels hovered between 4.0 and 4.3 but I held my nerve with the hypo treatment because I knew I had all those carbs from the dried fruit in the pud to come and just as I was losing hope it started to come gently upwards. It is almost like a flat line on my graph all evening where I expected a mountain the size of Everest. Can't believe I timed it so well, but then I failed to keep out of the red between 4am and 5am when that should be the easy bit! Arrgh!

The christmas pud and mascapone cheese sounds delicious, i hope you enjoyed that.

I woke early yesterday to a 6, but dozed back off and woke with libre showing i was hypo but finger prick showing low 4s. That seemed to set the pattern for the day. At one point my level was 6.0 so i vaccuumed the house (its not a big house). By the time i'd finished upstairs it had dropped to 2.6!!

Back at school full time from tomorrow so will need to monitor levels and start adjusting again. Its never ending, this constant monitor, change, evaluate lark.
 
4.7 and a sleep in.

It was absolutely heavenly! I had a tiny shot of my fav rum on the hot pud too. Can't believe my levels didn't spike!

Hope you have a more stable day today with your levels. Not sure I could cope going to work when my levels are constantly misbehaving. Whilst I do a lot of manual work most days, my time is my own... apart from animals constantly wanting attention/food, cleaned up after, exercising etc....actually probably not dissimilar to your job!!!
 
Another 5.4 this morning. My OH suggested that as I get perfectly flat lines overnight on this pump I should just increase the time I am asleep. That sounded like a good excuse for a lovely lie in this morning.

Congrats on HS @goodybags

I hope the return of all pupils goes smoothly tomorrow @freesia and @Bexlee whether that is in school or from home. We have both been shouting at the radio when they keep saying they are ‘reopening the schools’ tomorrow. Do they not realise that you have all been working all the way through managing two systems!!,!

I was wondering what to do with the Christmas pud we found at the back of the cupboard @rebrascora . Nice ideas.

Have a good day.

Lol. True some days, though i must admit it will be nice to see them all. They're 5-7 year olds so i'm expecting a few tears tomorrow and it will take a while for them to settle back in.

Thank you. I was shouting at a guest on Andrew Marr this morning.
I'm looking forward to getting back to a bit of normality though.
 
11:30 BS 7.7 A long lie in this morning after an eventful night of dreams! Another one of me doing impossible things: this time having learnt how to swim, I entered every swimming stroke competition & came first in the lot; those who’ve have read my posts in the past know that I’m terrified of splashing water on my face, never mind stick it IN the water, & have had 7 courses of learning to swim lessons in the past & couldn’t do it so, that dream is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE! 😱 Enjoyed it nonetheless!😛:D😎😉 Especially when the commentators said some of my strokes techniques were very marginal, verging on disqualification, but, I was amazingly fast for someone who just learnt to swim recently! When interviewed for the local paper & asked how can I swim so fast I said “ I still don’t quite trust I won’t sink & go as fast as possible to reach the end of race so, my technique gets a bit ropey especially, on the technical strokes of breast & butterfly!” :D:D:D I can’t even wash my hair sticking my head down under the shower: HAS to be looking up & stick it in backwards slowly so the water DOES NOT run down my face!😱 I wonder what these types of dreams are telling me? 🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Hi everyone nice to post again. Had a bit of a sticky patch but realise I need to ask for help rather than ignore it and stick my head in the sand! Probably hit the 6 month wall, honeymoon period is all inclusive some days, self catering others and occasionally room only!!
6.9 for me after a night shift! I drop my basal the night before to allow for the extra activity but I didn’t have too many get ups last night so running a bit higher!
I took advantage of the free trial of the freestyle libre 2 sensor ..... it’s arrived, I am looking at it, it looks straight forward, has any one got any top tips? I have down loaded the app and that bit looks straight forward just pairing the phone with the sensor! It’s applying it! No worse than a lancet I suppose!
worried my bingo wings might be too wobbly!!!
@eggyg congratulations on the arrival of Zara!
@ColinUK if you didn’t have that 38 figure before you would have taken 40 all day long! You have got through Christmas another lock down on your own and it’s only gone up a sniff!! I’d say that was fab!!
 
That was my post from yesterday and I hadn’t pressed ‘post reply’
Today started with a 6.3
Managed to put the sensor on and have probably now realised I haven’t been managing this Diabetes beast as well as I thought!
obviously taking my humalog too late for breakfast! Had weetabix today ( a normal breakfast for me ) that I have tested for before and it seemed to not raise my bloods too much but the sensor gave me a shout after 30mins and my bloods were soaring near 13, I confirmed it with a finger prick and it was also in the 13’s. Bolused in a panic and then realised I was probably stacking so then came the predicted alarm for my bloods going low again confirmed by a finger prick. So had a rescue jelly baby. Is too much knowledge dangerous? I am wondering if I haven’t got a clue what I am doing? Before the sensor I probably wouldn’t have known that spike had happened and I wouldn’t have made a correction. Or have I just eaten a rogue weetabix?
Answers on a postcard please?
 
@SaraKaya nice to see you joining us again 🙂

Applying it is 9/10 times a doddle and you probably won't even feel it! Have you plasters or tape to hand in case it starts lifting? That's always a top tip

Just seen your today's post, maybe try altering your pre bolus timing, the Libre is a great tool to get pre bolusing nailed as best as you can, I'd never correct that soon, we spike after eating, even normal people do so don't get panicked by it, just remain calm, give your bloods time to come back down themselves, Libre's are a great tool if you work from the information it gives you

When I first started using the Libre, I found the best approach was to regard the first few days as 'Observation only' and resist making any changes, until I’d seen a pattern emerging, and decided what sort of a plan of action I could form to tweak things.
 
Morning, a disappointing 6.5 for me

Congrats @goodybags on your HS😎
