Group 7-day waking average?

Perhaps your body is trying to tell you that it doesn’t like Sunday Dinners with the family. I think it will either have to learn or keep quiet. Laugh very loudly.
Hope you enjoyed yourself anyway.

I had a lovely time thanks and if I keep practicing at a rate of once every few weeks I might eventually figure out an insulin regime which will work for Sunday dinner for me, or I will go back to meat and low carb veggies and discard the idea of having half a small Yorkie with a few potatoes and forgo the ice cream for some cheese. Just experimenting with being a bit more carb adventurous for these special occasions. It is a challenge but I'm not frightened of that... just frustrated because I really thought I had cracked it yesterday.
First time I tried it, I hypoed twice, once just after eating and then on the journey home and had to pull over for an hour in the dark on my own waiting for levels to come back up and be stable to finish the journey, so I am making a little progress. Wouldn't mind if I was over indulging, but think I made quite sensible choices, just got the timing wrong.
 
2.1. Rough night. Hypo registering between 2.1 and 3.5 for almost 3 hours. At one point no value at all. I thought libre was telling pork pies but it actually wasn’t. Felt like I had the hangover from hell for most of the day. Used the low day overall as an excuse for pizza tea
 
Not going to give you a "like" for that @Bexlee as it sounds really scary, but hope you enjoyed pizza and you are feeling less steam rollered now. Have you figured out why it happened? Hope you have a better night tonight.

@rebrascora , I had to re-read that a few times to get the idea of a small Yorkshire pudding. My mind kept wandering to deep fried Mars Bars or the equivalent with a Yorkie Bar. I was trying to work out what insulin regimen you may come up with for that type of dinner.
It just shows how the mind works overtime on food we are not allowed.

Good morning 6.4 today

Have a great day
 
Well, a disappointing 6.9 for me at 06:00. I think my highest waking reading. Moral of the story: steer we’ll clear of Baileys & chocolate cheesecake.
 
6.5 for me, although I am sleeping so much, not sure which reading hold count as my waking one. Have now managed about 12 hrs without any paracetamol so taking that as a sign I am improving, although still feel so sleepy but aches as are definitely not so bad at the moment.

Have a good day everyone.
 
06:10 BS 8.4 about the same as yesterday.

All in target range yesterday, true with extra insulin, but, no higher than 8’s & back down to 6’s after active NR when eating so, a bit disappointed by 8’s this morning when I went to bed on 6.7: have to be a bit more patient & take it as another new start; waking figure always takes the longest to come down! :confused:🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Throat is just a bit hairy feeling & eyes still streaming quite a lot with the tree pollen trapped by cloud cover! Some sunny clear skies would be nice! 🙄
 
4.4 Knock on the door
 
Good morning. Its bright and sunny this morning. Very cold when I got up. Put the heating on for half an hour (what a wimp).

5.3 for me this morning.

I updated my App yesterday to analyse 'portions' out of interest. It took me all day.

Todays portions total is 9.8
Fruit 6.7 portions
Vedge 3.1 portions

So that's very good.

In fact looking back across time, generally I eat about 8+ portions a day, and I thought it might have been below 5. Not that it really matters, but I now have hard facts to present to 5he GP, DN, Consultant, etc.

Was it worth the effort. Well, nothing beats facts. Guesswork and 'feelings' just don't cut it for me.

There must be another new graph in this somewhere !!! 🙂

Out on the beach for a longer walk after breakfast. Looking forward to it too. Then a bit of shopping.

Looking at the data it seems that the days where I have treated myself to an M&S eclair are the days I lose most weight....so The 'Gwynn Diet', eat nothing but M&S eclairs and lose those pounds very fast. Hmmm maybe not. 🙂

Just shows how interpretation of data is very important and can easily skew the correct message.

Morning all. A JB induced 5.2 so can't claim it as alarm woke me to a lower 4.4.
 
Feeling a lot better than yesterday. Just shattered. A 8.1 this morning. Not too bad in view of pizza for tea last night. Have a great day whatever your doing today.

Pizza was nice. Real treat. Feeling fine again except I’m shattered. Hope you have a great day 21 get ups!
 
Morning all on this momentous occasion. Not because I got a Len Goodman, SEVEN! It’s because it’s the day Mr Eggy catches up with me, he’s 61 today, a full nine weeks and one day after me. You didn’t know I had a toy boy did you! 😉

Lots of celebrations this week, the original plan was to go to our local Indian restaurant as a family of 13 and sit at one table, but as we know, Freedom Day was postponed, so instead we’re being top rebs and they are all coming to ours to sit around our table ( it will be a squeeze and someone will have to sit on the poufeé) and we’re having a takeaway. Tomorrow we are going to the Lakes for two nights in a posh hotel. I’ve picked up my extra NovaRapid from the pharmacy! Looking forward to it even though we may have to book a “ slot” in the pool now. :confused:

So busy, busy for a few days but I will still check in, even if it’s just to make you jealous. 😛

Have a great day, we will. 🙂
