Group 7-day waking average?

Similar issues getting on the forum this morning.

7.6 and feels like I’m getting a cold.

Filed a police report online yesterday about the rape I experienced aged 17. Clicked send at 5pm.
At 5:30 two police officers at my door in response to the report to take preliminary details and basically do a welfare check and see how I was.

The female officers were both lovely, looked about 12, and were incredibly supportive during the 90 minutes they were here.

They’ll pass the details over to a specialist team who will conduct a much more in depth interview and will guide me through giving a statement for as many of the assaults I’ve experienced over the years as I’m comfortable doing.
They will also link back to a report I made at the time with knife guy.

I’m told that the specialist team will be in contact today.

I’m exhausted. I know I have to, and I mean HAVE TO, lodge formal reports because I dread to think these guys have done similar or worse to others. I know it’s decades since but if my testimony can fill in the blanks or give just a little more evidence against one of them and help bring them to justice, perhaps not now but at some point, then that’s a good thing.

Still waiting for Survivors U.K. to response but apparently that can take “a few” days.

My mood shifts from utterly drained to calm to so fuckin’ angry and that’s exhausting in itself.

I bought bread yesterday. And three little Lindt eggs. I ate them all.

I’m going to stop eating the rubbish though as it doesn’t help. Ok so it’s comforting in a way and there’s a psychological thing going on with it which I’m not quite sure I entirely grasp but it can’t be allowed to jeopardise the control over my BG long or medium term.

I’m not depressed. I’m not scared. I’m not suicidal or anything even vaguely approaching that I’m just tired, angry and emotional.

Oh and mum’s getting her second jab on Saturday so that’s both of them done.

Apologies for the venting.

Morning

Late today as kept getting 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable for the forum

Got quite down yesterday, went to look out the window as it was a nice day and spotted a cat in a tree so watched it for a minute until a local clown gave me 1 and 2 finger salutes and abuse and do you want a ******* picture so now I feel I can’t even go and look out of MY window, I always thought windows were for looking out not in and seen as we stay in a middle floor flat he shouldn’t have been looking up at our window anyway

Anyway it was a 4.9 for me today, feeling VERY warm, heating was on for an hour but mum was still cold so she asked me to put it back on as I was passing

That’s awful. It’s your window so of course you should be able to look out of it.
Try to ignore the local idiot who gave you abuse.

5.6 for me this morning aided by 2 JBs at 2.30am which will be because I went for a short run yesterday. Needing more and more insulin on a morning and so much less on a night. Despite 20 units of Levemir yesterday morning with a waking reading of 6.3 and just a boiled egg for breakfast and a dried fig (approx 7g carbs) because I had bolused 1.5 units for FOTF and it wasn't happening, I ended up at 14.8 with an upward vertical arrow at midday! Then after lunch I hypoed. Arrgh!

@ColinUK Well done on officially reporting the incidents and so pleased the officers who attended were supportive. Good that you are allowing the emotions to work through you but as you know, you can't afford for it to derail all your fantastic work getting your BG levels under control. Perfectly understandable to want to comfort eat though, so don't beat yourself up about having a dietary wobble. Try getting out for some fresh air and exercise as that really should help.

@Gwynn Congrats on yet another HS.
The only thing I would say is not to put too much store on NHS dietary advice. Many of us feel the NHS advice on dietary fat is out of date and since our bodies are struggling to cope with eating the recommended carbs we need to get our calories from an alternative source to maintain weight and fat and protein are the only options. It is now believed that dietary fat plays only a very small role in affecting cholesterol levels and there are quite a few of us following a low carb higher fat way of eating who have actually seen our cholesterol levels reduce rather than increase. The NHS low fat dietary advice is based on research done more than 50 years ago and it is now believed that the data was flawed and possibly even cherry picked to show that fat causes cardiovascular disease. The result of that research lead to a huge low fat food industry developing which uses cheap carbs to make food more palatable after the fat has been removed. The lack of fat in our diet stops us feeling sated, so we end up eating more food and as a result more carbs and this can lead to obesity and diabetes, which is what we are now seeing in the western world.
Just something to consider or research for yourself.

@Kaylz So sorry that a local idiot affected your mental health like that but totally understandable when the window is the only outlook you have on the world at the moment. Sending (((Hugs)))
 
5 for me this morning - as it no doubt will be forever now I have eschewed the decimal point.

Also had problems getting access this morning and I have sent the issue "upstairs" just in case it is some routine operation where the timing could be changed to when the forum is less busy. Not sure when that would be!
 
Thanks guys, he only got out the jail around this time last year for walking into a council office and threatening staff with a knife so he's not stable, looks like he's moving though so can only hope! I would've given as good as I got back in the day but also I wouldn't dare with him cause he would've had the cops at my door quicker than I could blink, he's just a nuisance and the sooner he's gone the better, nobody in the world would want a picture of him, total mink etc xx
 
@Gwynn congrats on your HS. I agree with @rebrascora concerning the NHS guidelines, they are variable at best for diabetics. I too lost a lot of weight that I couldn't afford to and found it extremely hard to balance my diet, being as I'm picky at the best of times. I suggest you don't fixate on the carbs, salt, fat etc and just concentrate on your weight to keep it steady and then adjust as you go along.

@ColinUK big slap on the back to you Colin, HUGE step you have made and well done as if it wasn't for people like you, this world would be in a worse place than it is now. We have to stand up and be heard but not everyone can do it so you should be congratulated on speaking out and I hope you are dealt with in a kind, understanding and supporting manner.

Am at work, should be working, but it is getting on my nerves and the brain is just fogging over (only been here 3 hours). Sometimes I need to step back so thought I would come on the forum for 10 minutes. Onwards and upwards!!
 
Morning,

I hqve had a fww ubheqkthy days but am good now, 5.8

Also ny HbA1c reads are in today, down from 102 to 75, first time less than 100!

Thanks everyone for your help. Have a great day.
 
A close 5.1 this morning.

Well done @Gwynn on the HS.
Does this mean you will never again celebrate a HS @Anitram?
well done @Newbie777 great job, keep it up! Time to update your signature birthday & A1c

Thought I might be somewhere close to what used to be my normal this morning after a post-prandial 6.2 yesterday evening but no, it's a 6.6 for me today. Delayed breakfast until after we'd been to fetch a newspaper but hadn't dropped much when I tested again when we got back so skipped the Weetabix and had a bowl of chopped strawberries, crushed walnuts, chia seed and Greek yogurt instead.

My wife rustled up a Peri Peri chicken from scratch for tea yesterday as it was our youngest's birthday, so that went down well with my salad. She prefers to make her own marinades rather than open a packet. We'd got him a birthday cake but I declined. Not keen on chocolate sponge anyway, unless it's with custard. Drooling at the thought but it ain't gonna happen.

Strangely he didn't get a single birthday card through the post yesterday, even though we know that family members posted them during last week, one as early as Tuesday. As it happens no one in our close got any post yesterday, which seems odd. Hopefully they will all come through the door today. As he has an underlying health condition he also had his AZ jab yesterday and was up during the night feeling nauseous and a bit under the weather, so common side-effects. Normally he'd be up by now but he's still sleeping it off. My wife gets her jab this evening, over at Reading FC's Madejski Stadium.

Congratulations @Gwynn on the HS. What I'd give for one of those....

Happy birthday to the young gentleman.
Mum didn’t get any cards in the post until yesterday. I know loads were posted last Tuesday.

That’s normal for round here, we went 5 days without post last week, and there were several things (eg, subscription magazine) that ought to have arrived. OH is in similar position as your son, waiting for birthday cards to arrive that he knows were posted in good time. I think they went all out to get the Mother’s Day stuff out, flowers from my daughter arrived on Saturday, and now they’ve relapsed.

Thank you @MAC2020,
Yes have done.

Not as important but my BMI is now in normal range, have been in obese and overweight category for over 30 years!
 
Congrats @Gwynn on your HS
 
@Gwynn congrats on another HS - you're getting greedy now 🙂

@ColinUK Vent away mate - no need to apologise after what you have been through

A 5.4 for me at 06:09 this morning. Dull and drizzly here in West Berks.

Thinking of you . You vent away you have every right to
 
@MAC2020 and @Anitram I think the comment should have been directed to @Docb who has eschewed the decimal place on his readings and therefore no chance of getting a 5.2 House Special anymore.
