Group 7-day waking average?

And today's result ....

6.8 this morning but that was after a 3 unit correction 3 hours earlier and several corrections before bed, so got yesterday well and truly wrong. I went to my sister's for dinner. Hypoed from my Levemir just as I was helping dish up dinner at my sister's so had to have a jelly baby right before my dinner. Then jabbed 2 units bolus (still hypo but everyone was sitting at the table waiting to eat) Ate my boiled new potatoes first and then the rest of my dinner. Injected 3 units afterwards, went for a walk, came back and all beautifully in range. Had 2 scoops of rum and raisin ice cream (14 ish g carbs) so another 1 unit insulin as I was in the low 5s and decreasing slightly and needed to drive home and left their house on a really nice 6.7 an hour or so later. 45mins drive home and I had gone up to 9.8 and rising so 1.5 units correction (stacking I know but I am pretty good at judging it) and knocked half a unit off my evening Levemir since I had hypoed the night before and earlier in the day. Had another bit walk despite it being midnight but levels continued to rise. Ended up with another 3 unit correction.... also stacked 😱 and still woke up on 12 at 7am having been in double figures most of the night!! Another 3 units correction plus my usual Levemir dose and dropped off to sleep again as I really didn't fancy starting the day on 12! Had a nice lie in and woke to a better number of 6.8 although still not as low as I would have liked or expected.
Don't understand why I have to have so much BG upheaval each time I have a lovely family Sunday dinner (at 6.30pm), especially when it looks like I have managed it really well for the first 4 hours afterwards! It has happened the last 3 times. I wonder if it is the sudden carb increase when I usually eat low carb. I am guessing maybe increasing my evening basal dose and taking it earlier (say 9pm instead of 11-12) might have been a better option to deal with it than all the quick acting corrections late at night. Must remember to try that next time!

Anyway, Congrats @DuncanLord on your House Special for today.
@freesia .... Just WOW! Fab stats!!! So jealous (mine are absolutely shot after last night!) but soooo pleased for you especially after your recent BG upheaval.
@Lanny and @Grannylorraine Hope you are both feeling better soon.
@SueEK Fab result this morning for you! Hope you can figure out how to repeat it.

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.

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.
