Group 7-day waking average?

It's a House Special @Spozkins Defined as good control for both T1 (not too low) and T2 (not too high)
 
Aaaaaaaargh. That about sums my day up.

Talking about insulin being water @Robin that is exactly where I'm at. BG now at 18 despite no carbs and a big chunk of nova rapid a few hours ago.

If only I'd known and I could have started off with more basal this morning. It's annoying because I want to eat but having to wait an hour or so til my BG is in a more reasonable range.

Just hit the like button on your post, but it’s not really appropriate, we need a 'I feel your pain!' button.
 
Good afternoon. Is there something about Gorgonzola cheese that I do not know? Maybe someone does?
Before I Went for my walk this afternoon I was 8.8. I had 2 very small slices of this cheese - just for a taste as it were - and now I am 15.6! Don't know whether or not to ditch any idea of dinner as I shall be off to my bed in 2 hours. Thanks

Interesting what @Anitram says, my levels have been all over the place since I had my vaccine on 16th Feb. I felt unwell for about 12 hours after the jab, and then fine for a few days, but then my throat and tonsils swelled up, and stayed that way for about three weeks, gradually improving until they are more or less back to normal. Either the jab caused the reaction, or despite all the hand sanitiser, masks etc, I managed to pick up an infection at the test centre (but not Covid!). My Bgs are getting better, as in, more maneageable, but I'm still on a 25% higher basal than I was, though it’s showing signs that I can now start reducing it. (Last week it had a 'last fling' for a few days, throat swollen again, BGs all over the place, insulin felt like injecting water, but I suddenly felt very much better after a couple of days, and now throat/sinuses etc feel more normal than it’s done for a month.) Wonder if it’s the same with you, @rebrascora .

I got my jab the day before my birthday, so the 11th Feb. Apart from getting some pretty erratic readings I was fine for the first week (Ian felt shocking the next day but was fine after that) but for me it was the second week when I was shattered and body ached and just felt unwell... but I had done a couple of days of quite heavy manual work that week and just assumed I was a bit unfit and it was hitting me harder as a result. Did similar work yesterday and feel fine today apart from muscles being a bit sore.
It being so long after the vaccine it is difficult to know if it is related. Since then I have had a day when I woke up streaming with what I am sure was hayfever which is really unusual for me and lasted all day. I caked my nose up in Vicks when I went to bed that night and not had a problem since but not slept well in the last few weeks and BG levels have been stubbornly 9-11 a lot of the time despite corrections which as you say, just seemed like water and upping my basal gradually from 16 to 24 the last 2 mornings and I have still needed 3 corrections today so far, so I don't feel like I have turned a corner with it yet. I am at last down into the 5s at the moment but that tends to happen most days late afternoon/ evening when the Levemir hits it's peak for me, but it will no doubt be back up at bedtime when I am loath to stick in another correction.
I am aware that it is very easy to blame the vaccine when it may be totally unrelated but when Type 1 diabetes is a condition caused by the immune system and the vaccine must stimulate the immune system, it does make you wonder. The hayfever is clearly an immune response too.
 
@ColinUK, your "friend" sounds like he doesn't know how to react but that is no help to you. Its times like this when you need friends and you find out who they are. Keep talking, get some support to help you. You are being so strong.

No the cheese shouldn't have had that effect so I suspect it's something else to blame, are you still on antibiotics? I would never inject 2 hours before going to bed as insulin is active for 4+ hours but you could have had something with no carbs if you weren't willing to stay up to keep an eye on things, there's no reason you should avoid eating just because you have high BG xx

Morning all. 8.4 for me after a spike overnight again. I just can't seem to get things right lately.
Back in work today. Supported an observation last week, supporting another today. Will be a long day.
Have a good one whatever you are doing.

Observations ...... haven’t we got better things to worry about ? Hope it went ok for all concerned. My levels were a little better but they’re rising again.
 
6.7 and falling this morning currently 10.8 and rising ...... I wish we could have a day off just once a year.

@ColinUK keep talking to us.

Oh that would be soooo nice. A whole day to eat what we want without juggling insulin, go for a walk or exercise without worrying about levels dropping, going out with a small bag or just phone and keys without having to make sure we have prickers, test strips, reader, hypo treatments, carby snacks....

@Bexlee i hope your levels are settling down a bit more now.

Had a horrible stressful weekend and woke at 7.8 not my usual sixes
still 7.2 at lunchtime can stress put up BG's ? .. :(

Undeniably stress can hit BG levels. Physical or psychological stresses really make mine fluctuate much more than is comfortable.
Being entirely honest though it’s not helped because if I’m really stressed then I sleep badly (which also impacts BG) and I can tend to say that because of X going on then I can eat whatever I feel like in order to get through it.

It is useful for some people to share here what’s going on which is causing stress. It’s a safe space with an element of anonymity. It’s certainly helped, and continues to help, me to share.
 
5.1 today. And average BP yesterday was 131/86 but that hides some really high readings well into hypertension levels.

I did an online e-consult for the GP yesterday and told him everything which is going on for me right now from the sexual assaults through to the legal action and that it’s resulting in really disturbed sleep and elevated stress which in turn may well be screwing with my BP.

I also emailed GALOP to see if they can help because Survivors U.K. replied saying that due to financial constraints brought about by cuts in funding they can’t do anything for around three months.

Not taken my morning BP yet but I’m hoping it’ll be lower than yesterday’s 157/104.
 
7.1 today. Slept badly and feel pooped but preparing my bright and breezy face on for work. Have a good one all xx
 
5.3 again this morning. A good reading on an otherwise stress filled day to come.
 
22/03/21 21:09 BS 7.3 Just about a 🙂 as it’s a smidge above target! But, also only 0.1 higher than I went to be on at 10:29 BS 7.2. I had a good long sleep much earlier than I had intended as I just couldn’t stay up any longer!🙄 I’m afraid that I left my BS at an elevated rate for too long & now that I’ve brought it back down again the tingles have started up again! Not too bad to start with, yet & at least I have the Pergablin from the last time I ordered, & didn’t use, ready to hand if it gets to the stage that I need it! My BS has all been in target today, my day, 23:37 BS 9.5 after breakfast, which is about as low as I’d be comfortable with after recent insulin increase & any lower I’d be on the lookout for hypos, before 2nd meal 02:42 BS 5.1 & after 05:47 BS 7.8 a bit late as I almost forgot to test.🙂 Isn’t that always the way it seems now: elevated BS for a while; get it back down & the tingles start up! I’m about to go to bed again now & have the alarm set for my tesco delivery later this afternoon! Now I need the extra sleep to help heal & regenerate my nerves again after the elevated BS had put them under attack again!🙄o_O Ain’t diabetes fun?🙄

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