Group 7-day waking average?

[MAC2020]

5.7 this morning. Still very blustery outside 18mph winds!

 

[miguel81]

Good morning again. NIce sunny day and just back from a walk with Missy in the campo (just millions of olive trees)

@Bexlee, i know we've only been back a week but, although its lovely to see all the kids, this week has been very long with one thing or another. I have a list of jobs i need to do and no time to do them due to running interventions, assessments, group and class work. We finish on the Thursday.

A very long week! It is lovely seeing the kids but there’s an awful lot to do and as you say no time to do it. Hope you have a restful weekend.

Have you played meeting bingo.
You know the key words that are likely to come up.
Make your card(s). You might need an alternative to shouting out Bingo!!!

Every meeting we play. Different words for different meetings. We used to play invigilation cricket too. Left hand up 4 runs. Right hand 2. Need to borrow 1-5 depending on what and we used to get bonus point for getting the the children 1st!!!

A 6.8 after 445am correction from 16 again. Feel rough. Was so looking forwards to a low in. Never mind. Think we may brave it and go for a walk later - what are the rules ? Can I go 17 min down the road tk the seaside ? Technically )when not shielding) I can go 40 min to work so I’m taking the risk! Have a great day all

6.1 for me this morning. I monitored it periodically through the night as it dropped from 11.1 at bedtime and tried to assess if I was going to need a carb top up but held my nerve and it bottomed out in the high 5s.
I didn't eat properly at all yesterday, just picked at cheese and pork scratchings and drank coffee with cream.... I just seemed to be desperate for comfort food and couldn't motivate myself to cook a meal. Must make a real effort today to cook at least one proper meal, maybe also make some soup and get out for some formal exercise. I know i will feel so much better for doing those things.

@ColinUK Sending more (((hugs))) but hope the real ones from your family today give you the comfort you need and that the charity are able to help you work through your feelings and put them to rest in the past where they belong. Treat yourself to a nap today too if you can. Sleep is so important for mental health and BG too and hopefully you will reach a point where tiredness takes over and shuts down your thoughts. X

A frustrated venting alert!

Argh! Just tried ordering a prescription on my Health Centre’s website, AGAIN, & can’t access the site! 😡 This has been going on for months now & I’ve mentioned it a few times on the extras info box! Ever since iOS 14 on my iPad & iPhone the website freezes, AND freezes my device’s browser for ages too, & the only way I can access the site to order prescriptions is on my slowly dying battery, at 95% of full capacity now, of my older iPhone 6 on iOS 12! I just ordered more LR, NR is ok & the 2 rarely run low at the same time in the ratio I use them at, & mentioned it again as I don’t know how much longer the battery will last & I won’t be able to order if they don’t get that issue fixed!😡

Rant over! A rare two mad faced emojis from me in one post! 😳

My husband has just been to pick up my prescription and yet again it’s wrong got lancets not needles . Fed up as this happens regularly

4.2 after long sleep in.

Can't even begin or dare to to think how hard this all is for you Colin but I really hope you can at least get some resolve with the help of Survivors U.K. I am sure your mum will love the cakes 🙂

Pleased to have dropped back to 5.9 this morning. Had a cracker and cheese shortly before bedtime, as suggested yesterday. Was that it? Let's see where I am tomorrow.

Sun's popping in and out of the clouds here, which are moving across the sky at a rate of knots west to east. Surprised to see our neighbours have people on site fitting new fence panels in a howling gale. That must be fun.

Looking forward to the rugby later as Wales take on Italy. I expect Wales to win comfortably to set up a possible Grand Slam finale against France, although England could do us a favour by beating them later.

Whatever your plans have a good start to the weekend.

Can’t see England beating France at the moment

Regrettably, rather unlikely. Jones’s stubbornness has led England down a cul de sac.

Jones should have had a look at a raft of up & coming players during that faux trophy last year. He now has nowhere to go.

Delivered the chihuahua poop cakes in exchange for hugs from the folks.
Made a pact with myself that I’d not crack today and tell them. There will be other times for that.
Knew that I’d have to limit time with them to keep it together so walked in and said I’d got 45 minutes before having to leave so I could work this afternoon.

Three and a half hours later I left.

Kept my own counsel and just revelled in the hugs and the sheer joy they both had of mocking how awful the cakes looked.

And now a 5.5

So glad you enjoyed your time with your family @ColinUK.

This morning on waking I was 75 At lunchtime I was 10 and not hungry so I had nothing to eat. Before I took Missy for our afternoon walk - some 4 km - I was 9.5, I had a small lump of Cheddar cheese, 10 minutes ago I tested before I started dinner and I was 17.8!! What on earth is that all about?

Hi Michael.
Sorry to hear your levels have gone through the roof.
My thoughts would be that something happened with your Toujeo injection this morning or you are coming down with another infection. Did you definitely remember to inject it firstly? Did you remember to do the air shot and did you dial up the correct amount? Sometimes we do these things so automatically, we are not even aware of doing them but you can have a lapse if your mind is elsewhere. Are you near the end of the Toujeo pen and could there have been an air bubble? Could the injection site have failed to absorb? Where did you inject it and are there any lumps or scar tissue? Could the insulin have lost potency perhaps due to being left somewhere too warm? It might be worth starting a new pen in the morning just in case the insulin is compromised, particularly if you can rule out all the other stuff.
Hope you manage to bring your levels down to a reasonable level before bedtime. Let us know how you get on please.

 

[miguel81]

I am on antibiotics for the infection
I did remember to inject the Toujeo - the correct dosage
I inject in my buttocks
No lumps or scar tissue
I only do an air shot when the pen is used for the first time
I am only half way through the pen
No evidence that it was not absorbed. I leave the needle in and count to 10
The weather is better but it is not hot
Just tested again after scrubbing my hands in hot water and soap and it was 15

Please can I have some feedback on what anyone thinks about these levels?

 

[rebrascora]

@Michael12421 The only thing there that jumps out at me is that you should be doing an air shot before every injection, not just when you first use the pen. Needles can occasionally be blocked and the insulin not be able to pass through it or air bubbles can build up in the pen and then you can inject an air bubble in place of some of the insulin.

Whilst I also use my buttocks for my basal insulin these days I am always conscious that it is awkward and would be possible to perhaps not inject all the insulin because of the contortion required and not being able to fully see the injection site. I tend to rub my hand over to make sure there isn't any significant wetness on the skin afterwards, just to be sure it all went in. I may go back to using my thighs at some point although they tend to bleed and bruise more, but at least I can reach them easily and see the injection site clearly

Have you taken a correction of quick acting insulin to bring your levels down or is it just the delayed effects of your walk that has reduced it?
