Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Was looking forward to a bit of a lie in this morning but D had other plans. I scanned and it showed 3.8. I'd left my test strips and pricker downstairs so got up and rested. 5.3! No hypo, i could have had a few more minutes lie in 🙄 . Oh well. Sunny day today, a bit of ironing to do then a walk i think.
Have a good day everyone.
 
5.8 for me this morning but it took a Lift tab for a 4.2 in the night to get me there. Happy enough with that but have cut my Levemir another couple of units this morning as I am hoping to get out for another walk/hobble (popped my calf muscle again yesterday trying to run too soon.... arrgh!) and I am driving over to my sister's later for dinner and don't want to get caught out with a roadside hypo again.

Oh @Gwynn. I am so sorry to hear that things are deteriorating like that! Do you think she isn't taking her medication? It does sound like that may be the case. They really should have solved this conundrum long before now because it has been a problem for many years and should not have to deteriorate to dangerous levels before they can act. I wonder how many people have been injured or killed because mentally ill people where left with the decision about whether or not they take their medication and how much it costs to institutionalize them when things go too far. I know it is an issue of human rights but surely common sense should intervene somewhere and you have a right to a calm and peaceful life too. You would think they could devise a slow release implant or something to overcome the problem.

The problem with mental health issues is firstly the patient can choose to take meds or not and secondly, there is no real support for the carer and no support for the patient unless things go pear shaped.

That sums it up in a sentence. Made immeasurably worse by the pandemic. Hopefully the support here goes a small way to helping. Thinking of you.
 
7.2 and a sore throat on this sunny Sunday. Thought we had escaped nana duties but no, my little Harvey is being dropped off whilst mum and dad go for a birthday meal in Arundel. Have booked bungee jumping and crazy gold for him so that should keep him amused.
@Gwynn havent ‘liked’ your post as it just didn’t seem appropriate. The situation certainly seems to be slipping downwards and it’s unbelievable you have no support to hand. Is there not a mental health crisis team that can be contacted, maybe tomorrow through her GP, they definitely have the chance to call them to offer you help. If you say you simply can’t take anymore and are thinking of leaving they will simply have to do something as she cannot be left on her own. So very sorry you are both suffering so much in completely different ways. Keep in touch xx
 
6.8 this morning. C’est tout.

Avoid those “Cheap, no strings attached” bungee jumps 😉
 
5.3 for me after a long Sunday sleep-in. 🙂

Have a great day.

Thank you for your kind words. They are very helpful.

Todays nightmare has not started yet as she is still fast asleep.

I just hope that one day she will wake up and be miraclulously well and in her right mind.

Maybe today is that day....

I can't even begin to think how hard this is for you it is a nightmare and so little support when all I hear on the TV/Radio is talk of mental health support for people and it looks like you get none. Your suffering mental heath issues as well so your both ill and it is just not right but what can you do !, perhaps you just got to tell your mental health team that your at the end of you tether and your now at risk.

Have you tried contacting Mind, they really helped me when I needed support.

You need a break from this I know it's your wife but this stress can't continue can it.

Afternoon! I’m well late. 5.8 after eventually rising from my pit at 8.55! I had been up at 4.30, 5.30 and 7am. Ironically enough it was a message from youngest daughter that woke me....telling me baby Zara had slept right through the night! I’ll have do get some tips off her, I’ve never slept through the night for getting on for 40 years! True story.

No particular plans today, Mr Eggy busy with the Full English at the moment and after we’ve slumped for two hours on the sofa and done our ablutions we’ll probably go for a walk. 🙂

Have a good day, if you can. @Gwynn sending virtual hugs.
 
Quite happy with this today too!

Blue is ideal and then it’s the palest as (“just” outside of ideal) and the darker it gets the higher into hypertension it’s reading.

Didn’t start taking the ramipril until 9th April as the chemist had supply issues. But it’s a noticeable improvement in a very short time.

@Gwynn, big hugs to you. Try and follow the advice others have given and speak to your GP/crisis team. You need the support or some respite. Keep posting x
 
Good morning. 5.7 for me after a dinner of roast chicken and Mediterranean vegetables, brie and celery all washed down with a few glasses of red wine.

Will be heading on the train to London for the working week in a couple of hours and will avoid GWR sandwiches like the plague!

After I install myself in my hotel, it's off to M&S to grab stuff for a cold supper before they shut.

Have a nice Sunday!
