Group 7-day waking average?

10:24 BS 8.0 after reducing basal by -4! 🙂

I’m nervous about my vaccine at 2pm & feel quite wired now as I couldn’t sleep the whole night despite trying a few times! 🙄 It doesn’t help that I’m going through a bout of neuropathy right now & the tingles combined with my anxiety is making me a bit of a nervous wreck right now! I’m sucking my nails: bit them until I was 25 then, a lovely display of nail polish colours at Marks and Spencer's for Valentines Day that year inspired me to stop; took me 6 months to kick the habit & another year to grow my nails & never bitten since then but, in times of anxiety I suck them!🙄

A bit of an over anxious Little Miss Hypochondriac wishing you all a Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 & a quivering with anxiety emoji!
 
8.3 for me today which is a move in the right direction but my 2 units of Levemir last night don't seem to have done as much as I would have expected.

@merrymunky How about some Nature Valley Protein bars? One bar is just under 10g carbs and they are quite satisfying and a great "grab and go" breakfast for a busy Mum like yourself. I think they are OK for vegetarians.

@Leaderofthecats
Exercise will lower your BG levels up to 48 hours afterwards and if you did an intensive workout on the BS, which it sounds like you did, that may well be contributing to the lowering of your levels. Good sleep is also very important in reducing your levels, so whilst I am not saying that rehydrating hasn't done some good, the exercise will probably have been a bigger factor than you imagine. And getting some sleep now will help too although you will be unlikely to get undisturbed sleep with all that fluid i your body. Do go steady on the fluids because as Google has informed you, there is an optimum level and more can be as bad as less.

@eggyg
Many congrats on your gingernut derived House Special. I agree that you should feel guilty even mentioning it when some of us are struggling just to get into range and it's even more insulting that you indulged in a biscuit to achieve it. 😉Have you no shame!!

@Gwynn
Pleased to hear your wife is getting over her disappointment. Hope today is better for both of you. Get some fluids and calories into you and stop worrying about macro nutrient levels or even BG levels at least for a few days.... Take some time out for your own mental health and just treat yourself to whatever you fancy today..... in fact listen to your body because at the moment it is telling you it needs more calories.... you can't keep losing weight. It will not cause irreparable damage, I can assure you, to eat more carbs, protein and fat for a few days..... in essence, just more food!! If you didn't have a BG meter and all the apps to record your food you would have no idea what you were eating.

Have a chill day and that is an order from Dr Barbara here! 😉
 
@Lanny First dose or second?
 
Rebrascora: thanks for that. I had already started doing exactly what you suggest too. It will be interesting to see how things settle down again over the next few days.
 
@Lanny I know you will be anxious both about going out into the wide world and having the jab but the thought is by far the worst part. The vaccination is a doddle and hopefully the vaccination centre will be very well organised by this stage and it should all go very smoothly. Managing BG levels afterwards may be less so 😳
 
You`ll be ok @Lanny, if its as well organised as here you`ll wonder what all the fuss was about,
the main thing is you have taken the first step to stop yourself becoming very ill with Covid as you
where before, good luck take care. xxx
 
Thanks @ColinUK & @rebrascora 🙂

I’m like this for diabetic reviews at the hospital too: feel nauseous & dry heaving, almost, from anxiousness about half an hour ago. Just waiting for my taxi in about 20 minutes so, wiped my face clean! Why do you always tear up with tears streaming down your face when face down in the sink? 🙄😳o_O
 
Oh @Lanny I am so sorry you are feeling so anxious about it. I know how that feels as I used to be like that about going out socially, particularly large groups of people at parties and sometimes simply didn't go, because I wasn't presentable by the time I had to leave the house and of course I was only letting myself down by not going.
I really sympathize and you are doing great and it will all be over and home again in no time.
You won't need it but "Good Luck" (((Hugs)))

I think that the shock of staying on her medication may have been too much for her.

A couple of years ago my wife worked with a young lad who’s an epileptic. He was on medication to control it and then one day told his colleagues that as he’d not had a seizure for a long time had concluded he didn’t need the medication. He stopped taking it, without consulting his GP, and sure enough he starting having seizures again.
 
Good day all. 6.8 @ 7.42 🙂
 
Well, I’ve stuffed my planned walk today.
With the lighter mornings I do 10 to 15 minutes exercise before cooking breakfast then go for a walk before lunch.
Coming up to the end of the tax year I’m reviewing my pension investments. Went online to give instructions and received an email back - “computer says NO, please phone.” After a long telecon I had a light bite, but it’s now raining and forecast to continue for a couple of hours.
Exercise bike it is:(
 
A 6.1 for me at 05:55

A late check in as I had a load of work arrive that needed to be out the door by 16:00 so been busy!
 
Just back & have a nice hot cuppa tea!😛 Had to wait 40 minutes outside afterwards for a taxi home & froze: taxi was VERY busy as it also happened to be younger kids finished school time that parents have contracts to their kids taken home from school! It’s very windy & cold today but, thank goodness, no rain!🙄

Aw! That was a lovely cuppa to warm my cockles & I’ll make another one! 🙂
