Group 7-day waking average?

🙄 Oh! I DO apologise for being such a Little Miss Miserable earlier! 😳 What a difference a few hours make & I can feel the difference as I’m over the peak & on the downslope: arm is still sore but, right neck & ear is almost back to normal; BS has actually needed a close eye kept on it as I dropped to BS 4.9 just before my 2nd meal of the day so, reduced bolus & still ended up with BS 7.0 2 hours later! Had some raspberry syrup cordial & it’s sitting at 08:39 BS 6.6 done live as I post because I’m about to cook & eat my 3rd meal of the day! Eating a bit close together, I’l afraid, to stop BS dropping too low! I wonder if it’s a lowering BS kind of effect that this vaccine is having on me like alcohol: too busy making antibodies to trickle out as much blood sugar as usual? 🙄

It’s a bit late but, here’s Little Miss Mountain Climber wishing you all a Very Good Morning & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

I’ve got a bit more movement now & less stiff! 🙂
 
It may sound like I have it in for the NHS SueEK but in fact I really appreciate not just 'it' but everyone who works in 'it'. I do think they work very hard too. But the nurs3s 8n 0articular seem to be very good and their job is difficult and at times probably unpleasant.

I decided to stop moaning and go out. It stopped raining!!! Very cold out though. Made me appreciate the warm house even more! I enjoyed getting out too.

Woohoo @Kaylz - I’m interested! You’d think a duvet cover with zips’d be popular, especially with an aging / arthritic population. And they sound man-friendly 😉 - with zips, even my OH could manage to change the bed once in a while LOL.😛

They seem to be more readily available in the US and Australia from my searches, one seller told me they sold mainly to folk with mobility issues for £90! I see that as robbing those that are already suffering! Could make one myself if my hands could take it much cheaper! Ok the lead I have is only available in 3 colours but I couldn't care less! LOL xx

I totally get what you are saying, there’s probably none of us that haven’t had some issue with a GP or hospital, I certainly have over a number of previous medical problems and my DN is pretty rubbish at the mo. I simply wanted to say what I see when I’m at work and it wasn’t a criticism of your opinion.
Glad you managed to get out for a walk. Xx
 
Polishing my halo with a 5.2 this morning.

Though mostly it’s cheating because it’s Control IQ on my pump sorting things out overnight that has completely changed my waking levels. 🙂
 
Well, it's 4.9 again for me but only because I woke a couple of hours earlier and stuck in a 2 unit correction for a 9.5. Graph shows a lovely flat horizontal line all night but sadly along the top of my range. Still my TIR is showing 91% today for the past 7 days and just 1% below target range which is probably my best result ever for hypos, so I shouldn't complain too much about being high. Things seem to be settling which is the important thing and the last few days I have timed my insulin and breakfast perfectly and not even had a blip on my graph for 30g carbs or FOTF. Don't you love it when things work well! It just changes your whole outlook on the day. The odd thing is that I am trying less hard but getting that basal dose right really makes such a difference!

@Gwynn Good on you for focusing on the positives. Sending virtual (((HUGS))) too.

@SB2015 Congrats on your HS even if you did post it on the wrong thread!!

@merrymunky Didn't you have Covid around Christmas time? I wonder if that has adversely impacted your levels as it has with many people or if you have had your vaccine recently, that has also been causing some of us high levels for quite some time.... ie weeks afterwards. If you are doing all the right things with your diet then it might be time to speak to your HCP about a plan of action particularly when your fasting levels are going up into the mid teens. Hope you can get something sorted to help.
 
Morning all. Watched 'The Terror' latest episode this morning, from behind a cushion.

Now I'm trying to watch an old film, The Millstone, only because it's from the Margaret Drabble book, but I found it hard to watch Ian McKellan smooching a lady. I know it's all acting but it didn't seem right!
(rofl)
7.6 @ 7.54
Have a nice Friday all, yay for the weekend, not that it makes much difference to me, it's all the weekend.

Congrats to @everydayupsanddowns and @SB2015 on the HSs. A 5.7 for me at 07:34 this morning. Wet and miserable day here in West Berks.
 
Woke to a 4.7 this morning, all good as I ate ice cream last night.

Feeling a bit naff this morning though and planning to speak to the DSN today as it turns out levemir is behind the lumping in my legs. Been on and off with sickness this year for the first time in my life and starting to wonder if it's to do with the levemir as gp doesn't really know. Hard to know what's what sometimes.

Opened the curtains at 7am to a very wet Berkshire morning - chucking it down. Had stopped by the time we set off to fetch a newspaper but it's very grey and overcast and we're apparently due a soaking around lunchtime. Garden desperately needs it - I was even half-inclined to get the hose out yesterday.

6.3 on waking, 5.2 when we got back from Morrisons. I guess that doesn't count as an HS (clutching at straws now) but at least it meant I was low enough to feel OK having my usual Weetabix breakfast. Amazing what a 2-mile walk can do to my levels. It's dropped me from 6-point-something and into the 5s every single time I've done a post-walk test.

Friday so my regular trip out to the garden centre shortly to pick up our fruit & veg from the greengrocer that operates from there. Also need a trip into WHS in town to get a birthday card for my eldest, who's 50 next week.

Fingers crossed that Wales are crowned Six Nations Champions after the rescheduled France v Scotland match tonight, so guess who's going to be a Scotland fan for a couple of hours from 8 o'clock? In the meantime I have the second ODI between India and England to watch.

@everydayupsanddowns & @SB2015 - Congrats on your HS's. Envious beyond words.

Enjoy poet's day, everyone.

Uh-oh! Sorry I can't like that! Do you have an idea of what went wrong and can fix it?
Can't help you with your difficult decision but hope the Scots trounce the French.
