Group 7-day waking average?

A wonderful 5.0 this morning but like @freesia (sending my sympathies) I had a shocker of a day with my levels yesterday including a really bad hypo in the afternoon (normally I can work through them but this one really took the wind out of my sails) and then rebounded and I stayed up most of the night carefully battling to get my levels down. Really don't understand what is going on!

@eggyg So sorry to hear you had a fall but pleased you had a lovely visit from Zara.

@ColinUK Loving the photos. No idea about any of them but I am intrigued and will be looking out for your follow up post with more info. So pleased that you have been managing to get out for walks and that your BP levels are responding. I am sure your BG will also show benefit from it as of course will your mental health and sleep quality. Why is it so difficult to motivate yourself (I am speaking rhetorically) to start doing it when it is enjoyable and has so many other benefits!! I seem to have lost ,my way with my motivation again.

@Gruers Try not to be too disheartened. As you say, they could be worse! What are your other BG readings like through the day, after meals etc.

Hi don't usually retake a BT during the day. After my 4 mile walk I’m 5.4 before lunch. That’s better. I have been concentrating on my BP which was too high and the walk has helped there too. Onwards and downwards. Thanks for asking
 
13:20 BS 7.6 :D That’s more like it! Yes, I had another wee sleep around 08:30/09:00 ish & I’m in the zone I set for myself to safely swing 3/4mmol!🙄🙂 There are signs that it’ll not be too much longer & my 2nd naps, shall we say, are getting shorter!:D That will have to do for a Phew! emoji! Just add a little drop of sweat over one eye & it’s there:D a Phew! emoji!

@Kaylz there are times when I think we could just pick a number out of a hat, within reason, and we’d have just as much chance of getting it right, then it all settles for what seems like no reason. Hope it does for you...very frustrating.

And I'm back down again, honestly exhausted with this, 6 Lifts so far today :( xx
 
5.9 for me
@eggyg sorry about your fall but those pics of baby Zara put joy in your heart.
Loving the tourism journey everyone!
I live near Bath so it’s packed usually but on the few occasions I have entered into the city it has been a ghost town very eerie!
Have a good weekend everyone.

I'd rather be eating the odd Lift or JB here and there as be having to jab corrections every couple of hours, which is my problem at the moment. Increased my basal this morning and still needing them. I suppose it's a bit like people with straight hair who want curly and vice versa although I think we would both be happy with some middle ground at the moment.

It isn't just the odd 1 though, I've gone through near 20 in 2 days and starting to feel sick with the glucose plus I don't get the luxury to treat when I need if I'm in the middle of cleaning so it's getting a bit too dangerous for my liking all part of OCD through a pandemic and that, few more days of it to go too probably seen as Tresiba adjustments take so long to have an effect 🙄 xx
 
@Kaylz How about eating some longer acting stuff if you are sick of the glucose.... Hit the peanut butter (obviously not for a hypo but to stabilize afterwards). It certainly keeps me high for hours!

Anyone want to play a new game? It's called "Lets Guess What Kaylz Should Dose", I failed at breakfast, was 9.0 as you know, took 1.5u so 1u:21g carbs and had crashed to 5.5 3 hours later, today just winging it! xx

I suggest you put numbers in a hat and pull one out at random 😳 😳 xx

Doesn't work like that for me, not much does if it's a Tresiba issue due to it being so long acting and I haven't got much in cause can't afford to so just have to make do with what I've got xx

Hi folks a nice 15.7 this morning guess who forgot to take his night time Basal.😎 I`ve had to change
my bolus from 1:7 to 1:5 and a correction dose after this evenings dinner so hoping body thinks its a
split dose and lets me off without any repercussions.🙄 Dentist 09:00 tomorrow probably another visit
to the hospital some time after as usual.:(

Think we only have one HS today which is Dez so congratulations @MeeTooTeeTwo.🙂

@Inamuddle please tell us you are ok you are missed. {{{HUGS}}}

@Spozkins I live in one of the busiest tourist areas on the English Riviera right opposite the beach
and the last time we had an influx of tourist our Covid results went through the roof, we now have only
26 patients in hospital and a few with mild symptoms, watch it go up when they all return. Not knocking
the tourists because they genuinely believe we don`t have it down here, so no face masks and no social
distancing as far as they are concerned, was that a rant or an opinion? both I hope.

Early night for me busy morning, only got 11 cans to get through don`t want to turn up at the Dentist smelling
of booze but better than stinking of cigarettes.😳

Take care stay safe enjoy your kip or whatever takes your fancy😉 and have a great Friday.🙂

We’ve booked to come and see you end of August, staying in Babbacombe where we had our honeymoon in 1980! We haven’t been back in that area since. We’re not staying in the same place, although I did see it was still open. It looked like an old folks home then and it still does! We’ve booked a cottage for two weeks. I promise we’ll be paragons of virtue re Covid compliance. We live close to the Lake District National Park so know what you mean, we’ve only been three times in 12 months, far too busy, so we thought we’d go and annoy the Devonians instead! 😉

Just between you and me, don’t tell anyone, I’ve mostly been winging it for 40 years...it’s what most of us do.

I’m with you on the feeling sick after all the sweet stuff.

I don’t wish to comment on your levels etc., as I haven’t been around much to see what’s going on. But I do know that you have the knowledge, skill, expertise or whatever you want to call it, to work it out. I know it doesn’t feel like it to you. What plan would you suggest to others? Sometimes when I can’t work out what’s going on I put a call in to the DSN team. Usually we just chat it though, whatever Ive checked or tweaked, but there’s often something tiny that I might not have thought of...even just chatting it through and off loading the stress seems to help.
Sending you a useless, but well intentioned hug.
 
@Lisa66 I know fine well it's my basal but seen as Tresiba adjustments take 3 days I just have to keep fighting the way I am, it's not that I don't know the issue or can't fix it, it that it takes so long to fix it with the tools I have that I have to go through days of this xx
