Group 7-day waking average?

6.0 on the dot for me this morning after a bad night's sleep like so many of you have had, plus 3 slices of toast for my tea, must cut down on the carbs again.

Had my hair done yesterday and pleased with the result.

Have a great day everyone, I am a bit late up, but still need to do yoga before work, and I am also a cappacino girl.

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

6.1for me today always in the low 6 in morning then in low 5 for the rest off the day even going to bed is always low 5 not sure I understand
 
5.8 today.
Hopefully it’ll stop raining so I can get out for a walk. And no I can’t go in the rain because contrary to what all mothers tell their kids, I will melt!!

It’s a primaeval thing.The liver quite often trickles out a bit of extra glucose in a morning to gear you up for going off and hunting a woolly mammoth for breakfast.

Morning all and 4.5 for me.

No sign of rain in this part of the world yet.
Looking forward to an evening drinking Movi Prep.

Have a good day everyone.

OMG! The colonoscopy was a doddle compared to that! Top tip. Take a chair into the bathroom, with a cushion, a book and a jar of Vaseline! Good luck!
 
Morning all, a very average 7.8 for me, not disappointed with this, I'm still on track to have a good HbA1c, yesterday I was 4.6 in the morning but noticed I had gone low and dipped a few times while asleep, is this normal?
As for coffee, I find it seems to lower my readings.

@Robin @Michael12421
Rather than my liver working in an ancient custom, can I just have the Woolly Mammoth Steak and chips, ( got out of the freezer having been delivered by Tesco’s), for breakfast.
The liver is should we say, ‘a slow learner’.
 
A 5.0 for me at 06:06 this morning. The baby went to sleep at 20:00 last night and slept until 05:58 this morning - result!!!

Overnight rain last night but no thunder and lightning. Have a great day everyone
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

6.58am - 12.1 😡😡😡 finger prick - waking - 3 units mysugr advised correction - 21 units tresiba bit earlier than usual
23:42pm - 5.1 finger prick - bedtime - also 15 minute hypo check - had 3 rich tea finger biscuits and some cheddar cheese 12g of carbs
23:25pm - 3.1 finger prick - bedtime - had 4 jelly babies to treat hypo - carb count was right at teatime - bolused after eating but might have needed a bit less insulin

If anyone wants to leave feedback please do but please be gentle with it
 
Disappointing 7.8 for me this morning and that was after a 1.5 unit correction a couple of hours before getting up but I had a rather inactive day sitting in a car yesterday and I had an attack of the munchies last night and ate a can of tuna with some mayonnaise and a great chunk of cucumber just before bed, so I am guessing the protein was the problem. Stayed in range all night but mostly high 9s so my 7 day average has gone up to 7.3 :(
 
I managed two small cappuccinos at Costa this morning. The coffee offered with breakfast just comes in a steel pot and who knows what’s in it. At best filter coffee and at worst hot water with a few spoons of instant coffee - yuck. There was a chap in front of me who had the largest cappuccino and it was like a large soup bowl😱

It was very pleasant and verging on hot walking along the River Tweed, stopping occasionally to sit and listen to the birds and the water rushing along. Peebles is a beautiful town.

Poor Bloden was just the same last night, except there was no storm! o_O She could obviously hear what was going on all the way over in your neck of the woods.

Morning all.:D 4.9 here.

@merrymunky I feel like you’re stuck in a great big rut. There used to be a lot of talk about baby steps on this forum. They're brilliant, they helped me crawl out of the rut I found myself in when first dx. Ask yourself “Is there one small thing I can start doing today / tomorrow / this weekend that can help me get on track?” Eg I’d stopped exercising (what?! I love exercising - that’s how unhappy I was) so I made myself go for a ten-minute walk after work every day. It got the ball rolling for me...🙂

I’m chipping away at my diet at the moment. Since Sunday morning I have eaten low carb, not had any crisps and about three squares of chocolate all week! Unheard of for me recently!
