Group 7-day waking average?

Congratulations on your HS @Gwynn 🙂

Glad to hear things are getting better for you both as your wife is feeling better after her disappointment about the meds! I know from other family members with schizophrenia what a battle it is to continue to take meds: it’s an unconscious, easy, slippery path as the meds make them feel better & normal; it’s easy to start missing the odd dose here & there that starts the slide down! It’s very tough for their families & one sibling having gone down that slippery slope before, uses that thought, of what the spouse & children go through, to stop the temptation of stopping medication, stop & reflect on accepting the fact that it’s the medication that keeps them well! The close immediate family has now become part of the armour in that ever present fight for mental health!
 
06:32 BS 5.5 🙂 Ok but, need to start dialling back a smidge on the bolus! Had another snooze after breakfast & now if, & it’s a BIG if, I can stay awake for the rest of the day I’m now back in sync with a normal pattern?🙄😳:D😉

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Morning all. A surprising 9.3 for me after i went to bed on 6.1 again. Hovered just out of target all night again. I just can't get to grips with the basal. If i up it by half a unit i have loads of hypos, if i stay as i am i'm out of target all night 🙄 .
Two more days until the weekend. Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning everyone, 6 for me today. I am so grateful for the alarms on my Libre 2 and now training myself to sleep through the night and not check every two hours in case I have a hypo.

I wish you all a wonderful day.
 
6.9 and 2nd jab due today. Have a very sore throat and am wondering if that will affect them doing it, wouldn’t have thought so but am not sure. Think I will ask on our WhatsApp work group as I know some of the doctors are on it.
@Gwynn congrats on the HS and glad yesterday was a better day x
@Lanny glad all went well for your jab x
Have a good day everyone x
 
5.3 this morning.

Yesterday Royal Mail failed for the third time to deliver a parcel even though I was in and have been in each time they supposedly try but don’t bother ringing the doorbell; 2 policemen turned up at my door just as I was about to start work because they were carrying out a welfare check based on the report I’d made last week and didn’t know it’s already being dealt with by SOIT; GP phoned three times whilst I was on the phone with work and finally left a voicemail having a go at me for not being available for our phone appointment. Only issue being that nobody told me about it.

Oh and awake at 3am this morning.

BP yesterday averaged out at 149/96 so still into hypertension. Guess that it’s going to be time to add another tablet into the mix soon.

But why are so many doctors and consultants very poor at analysis and just go for the obvious. Why do some seem incapable of really listening to their patients? Is it because they hear so many unhappy, upset, in pain people every day that they sometimes switch off.

All your observations, to me, are entirely justified. Maybe it’s time pressure. A GP appointment is limited to 10 minutes, which includes looking up your medical records whilst asking “How are you?” The speed of life has increased exponentially through the 20th Century.

More people than ever before have access to medical care but it seems that makes it difficult to deliver a 1st class service at all times and across the board.

I‘m so pleased though to read the positive parts of your update.
 
Morning all. :D 5.6 here.

Apparently, some GPs earn shedloads so I guess they’re in it for the cash and forget that their actions can severely affect people’s lives @Gwynn. Hopefully they’re the minority. I’m glad to hear things have settled down at home.

More sunshine! Weather, you’re spoiling us.😎
 
4.7 for me today. 🙂
Well done @Gwynn on your HS.

4.3 I can hear the birds singing but in an hour a neighbour 2 doors down will start his blooming stone cutter and drown out the birds. Why do some people constantly build I don't know what they are building but it has been going on for ages, perhaps he just starts the cutter for the fun of annoying me :( .

There’s been a surfeit of THAT around here for a year now: people doing SOMETHING in the boredom of lockdown; was annoying to start with but, become background white noise now in the main UNLESS it gets excessive which it HAS done at times & I’m trying to sleep! 😱
 
Congrats on your HS @Robin

I'd class 10 carbs for a portion as low carb. For non dairy yoghurts its probably the lowest I've found. I appreciate not everybody is lactose intolerant though so I'm not sure what typical yoghurt would be.

It wasn't a criticism but there are those on the forum that would give it the "that's half my daily allowance", the reason Greek yoghurt is suggested a lot is because it is generally around 5g carbs per 100g, some as low as 3g carbs xx
 
Morning all. A disappointing 6.3, insomuch as my BG was exactly the same as Tuesday night, had a ginger nut, and didn’t get a HS like yesterday! I was up 20 minutes later and wore different PJs, that must be it! Having a walk later and will incorporate a visit to daughter number 3 and baby Zara. Haven’t been in their house since her birthday last September so haven’t seen the nursery furniture we bought them! Have a good day. 🙂
Congratulations @Gwynn and @Robin on your HSs.
