Group 7-day waking average?

[DuncanLord]

Happy Wednesday everyone,
Here on the 6.0 step. Last night at bedtime it was 5.7 but then had 4 cream crackers for supper (naughty me).
there again weight down again to 16 stone 4. At this rate I’ll just disappear into the ether ( by the time I get to that birthday where I get a card from the palace!)
Anyway have a great day.

Good morning everyone & happy hump day 🙂
(for anyone who doesn't know Wednesday is known as hump day because it's the middle day of the week.

6:58am - 5.3 finger prick - waking - 20 units of tresiba taken
22:46pm - 9.5 finger prick - bedtime - no supper

Good morning everyone & happy hump day

When I was a young lad I worked with an old (60’s) Polish chap who used to come in on a Monday morning and say, “It’s nearly Friday.”

Just to confirm I’m still alive. 🙂

Lovely long walk yesterday.

Good morning again. Just sat my driving license exam and medical and got my license back for another 3 years. Doctor was a bit concerned about my left eye but the right one was OK and reading the charts with both eyes was fine. She made me walk about without my crutches as now being completely reliant on them negates any possibility of a license here.

It's a bit crowded on the 5.6 step this morning but happy to be there in good company. To be fair I cheated with a 1 unit correction a couple of hours earlier to get there because I feel so much better starting the day on a 5 rather than an 8. Stayed in range all night though.
Really enjoyed my evening meal last night but the protein (a sirloin and a piece of belly pork 😱 ) kept releasing through the night despite corrections before bed. I had a huge plate of veg with them including lots of lovely spring cabbage and the "carbiest" thing on the plate was a little mashed swede and some roast Mediterranean veg.... an odd combination but who cares!
Had a walk up to the yard afterwards to check on GGs and Cora greeted me but no sign of the other 3.... Panic stations! Rascal had broken through the electric fence and was in the main field which is knee deep in grass with MeMe (his shadow) lying down, well out of sight and Rebel had brought himself into the stable and was standing very quietly, with an extremely full and uncomfortable belly, so I had a late and anxious night with him watching and waiting in case he colicked. Rascal can eat anything and not have a problem and I don't worry about MeMe or Cora but Reb very easily gets an upset tummy. It was funny how sheepishly Rascal and MeMe followed me back out of the field and through the broken electric tape like naughty children who had been caught in the act.

@SueEK Can totally relate to your trauma. So pleased it all ended well but that heart in mouth feeling takes ages to recover from. Just horrible!

@eggyg and @ColinUK Fab photos highlighting the attractions of both countryside and city so amazingly well. Good to see that you are getting out and about Colin and hope that your soul is slowly healing.

@Michael12421 Many congratulation on passing your test and retaining your licence for another 3 years. That must be a huge relief. Well done!

Thanks Colin, yes looking up I'm in great company, my morning reading has been 6.8, which is a massive improvement to where I was 3 months ago where it would have been closer to 15.
My tips and I don't know if I am doing it right is to take my 20 units of Tresiba in the evening (I switched from morning which has drastically improved my general readings) and 6 units Novorapid 20 mins before a meal. That is me oh and metformin for good measure.

Hi Si and welcome to the forum and this thread in particular. Hope you enjoy becoming a regular member of our virtual coffee morning.
I am guessing you are relatively newly diagnosed? Good to hear you are finding strategies with your insulin which work for you. It looks like you are on fixed doses of NovoRapid, so perhaps haven't been introduced to the wonderful world of carb counting yet..... or maybe fixed doses and set meals suit you?
Do you have a Freestyle Libre to keep track of your levels or are you finger pricking at the moment?
Hope to learn more about you in the coming days/weeks. Make yourself at home and feel free to ask if you have any questions or concerns. We all know what a steep learning curve it is in the beginning.

Hello and thanks for the welcome.

I am not totally new to this, I was diagnosed Type 2 in 2014 and was managing with tablets, in fact after 12 months I stopped finger pricking as it didn't make a blind bit of difference as my treatment was fixed. Then my HbA1c started to increase, I was under a private endocrinologist for other related problems and he recommended I had a certain test on my blood (sorry the test name escapes me). The test results concluded I had a degenerative disease in my pancreas and I was heading to Type 1 (he says I am now Type 1, this test was 18 months ago). So since then I have been on several combinations of medication all mixed with a slow release insulin.
Fast forward 3 months I changed my slow insulin to Tresiba, and introduced Nova rapid before meals.
I have a freestyle libra for the last two months and have adjusted my regime to get into the right place.
Also trying to lose the weight that I gained due to the classic insulin /lockdown combination, I increased by 18Kg I have reduced over 5Kg so far and hopefully get back to my fighting weight before the end of the year.

That's my story

Congratulations, I’m still fighting with DVLA to get my Class 2 Bus and coach license back.

Good morning - 5.7

 

[Gwynn]

Good morning. Out for a longer walk this morning, I hope. Down the beach to a local lake and back. I don't feel quite as tired as I did yesterday morning...

5.4 BG this morning.

My wife had a good day yesterday. She is trying to do some origami. Her results are improving as she goes.
