Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks. :D 3.9 here. I’ve recently noticed the Libre doesn’t think this is a hypo, which means the reader doesn’t record all my lows...hmmm.😳

I finished painting the spare room yesterday, so it isn’t a beige-custard colour anymore, yippee. A quick clean and re-hang the curtains, and...wait until peeps can come n stay again. 😎

Welcome back @KARNAK. What tales of your adventures do you have for us?

What colour? Strawberry jelly, to carry on the theme. Or is that a trifle too much? I’ll get me coat! 😛
 
4.9 and I feel fine, got a week off work.
 
Morning

@Bloden what is your low level set at?

Bruce went in to Scotmid last night for rolls for his work pieces so as I'm almost out of mayo asked him to grab a bottle, £2.90! 😳

Feeling less vulnerable this morning seen as I've got a sensor today, really felt vulnerable yesterday until I applied another, will phone up Abbott later

Anyway finger prick was a 5.1 but scan was 5.2, if only I'd finger pricked a tad earlier I might have caught it! LOL

5.6 for me this morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

6.3

Off for a pre work walk - mainly to pick up test strips from the delivery office as I’ve missed them twice now.
 
6.3 for me this morning but only because I woke up and jabbed myself a 3.5 unit correction at 1.45am for a whopping 14.0 after a Chinese takeaway experiment last night which clearly went awry! Still, I estimated the correction pretty well so I suppose some part of the experiment was a success and I REALLY enjoyed the takeaway!... Just ate too much!

@Spozkins Welcome to the thread. I would probably been with you in the 15s if I hadn't woken up through the night and corrected. It happens so don't be discouraged. Getting your basal dose right is a bit of a dark art and if you are anything like me it can need regular tweaking. Have you had a DAFNE (Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating) course? It really helps you to gain confidence in adjusting basal insulin, amongst lots of other useful knowledge.
PS. I see you are in the same part of the world as me. Which clinic do you attend? I'm at Durham.
 
Catching up after a weekend off line. 5.3 at 06:54 on Saturday. 8345 steps and 14 flights of stairs as I blitzed the house and then watched England v France at rugby. 5.6 yesterday at 08:27. Cooked the wife a full English and then cooked roast loin of pork, braised red cabbage, buttered white cabbage and sprouts for Sunday dinner served with a rather nice viognier from the wine collection. A 5.8 for me at 06:18 this morning before getting my son off to school.

Hmmm, odd that it doesn't recognise a 3.9 as a hypo then, think mines is set at 3.9 on my phone (never use the reader for sensors these days lol)

Well almost 20 minutes on the phone and they are sending a replacement for the one that fell off in my bed, bet she thinks I'm lying, advisor - were you doing any exercise at the time it fell off?, me - no I was in my bed, I know what went through her head! lol

Hello and thanks! Have been signed up for years and thought it would be helpful in fine tuning my control. I'm at Newcastle - how is the diabetes support in Durham?

I actually started DAFNE the week The country first went into lockdown so left after a couple of days but its changed my whole approach. Before levemir it didnt matter what I did I would have an overnight lo, even with no insulin! Now it seems like overnight my body is super sensitive to both carbs and insulin so it feels like a very tight line. Most nights I'm doing a 3am test.


Anyway started off with an 18.2 so will be doing some working out and hoping I'm not spending the day chasing my tail.
 
@Spozkins
Obviously in the current pandemic, access has been limited but on the whole I have been very happy with my support at Durham and the educators on our DAFNE course were brilliant. Shame your course got interrupted as it really is beneficial for understanding so many aspects of diabetes management and the varied problems which can occur, which you may encounter down the line. Mixing with and learning from other diabetics is hugely important which is why this forum has been invaluable to me, because I can dip into it everyday and learn something from other people like me who face the same challenges. Hope you get to restart your course at some point in the near future.

I was started on Levemir 2 years ago at diagnosis, so I don't have experience of anything else but I love the flexibility it gives me now that I am confident in adjusting it. I have recently had to reduce my evening dose down to zero as I was going low at night quite regularly, but needing more in the morning. My consultant has mentioned a pump a couple of times but I am happy to continue with MDI for now. Getting the Libre on prescription made me very happy though. Do you have Libre?

Yes also have the libre. I actually feel pretty confident in adjusting my insulin and ratios but the one thing DAFNE did for me was really re educate me in what acceptable BG levels are and thenlibre has helped with that too. I've been diabetic my whole life so for me seeing really high BG levels and huge swings became normal. I think if I'd been diagnosed as an adult I would have much healthier views on BG levels. In general though during the days my control is much better and my HBA1C is a lot better after lockdown. I'm also excited to get the libre 2 as I think this might be the answer to my overnight issues so fingers crossed!
 
@Anitram Happy Birthday to your young lad xx
 
Good morn8ng. No idea why my post on the forum yesterday never saw the light of day. I probably forgot to press the button.

Anyway BG was 5.3. This morning it was 5.7

Weight went up by 0.05Kg wooee
 
8.1 at bedtime last night
5.4 this morning
 
Good afternoon 5.5 this morning, have been to the Podiatrist this morning lost the big toenail on the
left foot again wish the furniture would stop trying to trip me up.🙄 Been keeping up to date with the
forum so not a lot has slipped by me, dentist on Friday referred by the hospital because its quicker and
more expensive.o_O Going to look at an investment flat in an hour about 300 metres along the road has
a communal swimming pool so a great little holiday home for the mugs sorry holiday makers who would
relish a place on Paignton sea front.1615815463942.png

Lastly congratulations on the @eggyg clan on baby Zara some good news in these torrid times.🙂

Take care stay safe folks.
