Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone 🙂

7:20am - 5.7 🙂 - waking this morning -19 units of tresiba
00:01am - 6.9 🙂 - bedtime - ate 1 rich tea finger and some cheddar cheese

This morning I decided to reduce my tresiba further from 20 units to 19 units because I did have some more hypos yesterday but I've got a feeling that in the next few days I'll be increasing it again.

I’m green with envy @eggyg - a curry AND a trip to the Lakes. 🙂 Hope Mr Eggyg has a fab birthday.😛

Morning folks.:D 3.9 here.

A frustrating review yesterday. I asked about DAFNE and a pump - again - and the dr said he’d refer me - again. He also said he’d look into half-unit pens for me...watch this space!🙂

I don’t know about you @mum2westiesGill, but Tresiba takes a couple of days to react to a dose change in my body (I think @Kaylz would say the same), so I wait at least 5 days after a dose change before I tweak again. Fun and games. Sbort a sbri (that’s Welsh, the language of dogs and heaven 😉 ).

Morning

7.5 for me today

Had a stressful few weeks, broken toilet seat that I couldn't face having anyone to come and replace so had to order a new one, a week of perching on porcelain is not fun! Bathroom extractor fan stopped working again can't face anyone in to fix it but a fantastic member here suggested something and hey presto got it going on Sunday night, broken microwave so had to buy a new one, hopefully luck will change now!

@mum2westiesGill yes I agree with @Bloden I wait 4-5 days after an adjustment to adjust again to be 100% sure, like Bloden is needing have you got a half unit pen you could use for Tresiba? If not it may be worth asking about as although it doesn't seem a lot a half unit can make the world of difference

Thanks @Bloden for saying about waiting a few days before I make a dose change.
 
Good morning
On Waking this morning BG was 5.6.
I shouldn’t have had those 3 cream crackers for a snack at supper time last night BUT…….
Just got to convince Doctor, this morning, to put I’m fit to work doing non PSV driving jobs on the sickness certificate, so that firm might have to start paying me properly.
Have a great day everyone.

Thanks @Kaylz for saying about waiting for 4-5 days with Tresiba before making another dose change.
I don't have a half unit pen for Tresiba - I use disposable pens which only come in 1 unit pens. Can Tresiba be given in half units? Do they do half unit pens for it?
 
Good morning.

Good morning. 7.8 for me when I first woke up, 1 unit of NR to head off early rise and reset alarm for another 45 mins.

Was feeling pooped after a day of highs yesterday. 17 at one point! Couldn’t believe it... loitered around teens until mid afternoon. Absolutely no idea why. Can’t remember being that high for a very long time. Checked and double checked everything no clues, other than downturn in weather and temp, but can’t believe it would be this...so let’s see how today goes.

Dentist today:( ..a bit of upholstery later, I need to decide what colour buttons to add to a chair...this could take me quite some time, days possibly 🙄...making decisions isn’t one of my strengths...then hopefully a potter in the garden to get rid of the weeds that seem to have shot up in the rain.

Lovely to see you again @Kaylz . Don’t they say everything comes in threes, hopefully that’s it for you now🙂x
 
A 4.8 for me at 04:55 this morning. Cloud seems to be burning off and we even had a glimpse of the sun earlier so hopefully we are in for a spell of better weather. I need to get started on working through my Tom Kerridge book!
 
5.5 for me but levels went high again last night (without a Sunday dinner) so looks like a basal issue. Had to have 2 corrections last night before bed and went up to 11. More exercise or more basal needed.
I've got my blood test for HbA1c etc tomorrow along with the usual BP, weight and foot tickle etc. We have a new DN at the surgery. She has taken over from the previous one who oversaw my diagnosis and I really liked, who has retired. I have met the new one a few times as she has been at the practice as a regular nurse for quite a while. Be interested to find out how much training she has had or if she is still waiting for training. Quite looking forward to my appointment. I don't get out much!! Then I have a telephone appointment with consultant next Tue so hopefully he will be in possession of my results although I fear they will not be quite a s good as my previous one due to last 3-4 months of BG upheaval.

@Kaylz So good to see you back posting. Hope you feel comfortable to make become regular contributor again.

@DuncanLord Good luck getting back to work.
 
Thanks for the welcome back guys 🙂 Did ya miss me? LOL

@mum2westiesGill yes Tresiba is available in cartridges and can be used in the half unit pen NovoPen Echo as that's the combo I've been using for a couple of years now

Good morning everyone - 5.7 today

Lovely sunny day, stuck indoors, waiting for fire alarms to be checked, hopefully before lunch, then out for a wach to enjoy the sunshine, while we have it. Enjoy your day everyone
 
@Kaylz So glad to see you post even missed your avatar pic it makes me smile 🙂
 
Damned awful day. Forgot to set alarm (unheard of) got up 10 minutes before I’m supposed to leave. Dashed around like an idiot, no time to test, hubby in porch with the dog ready to go out, pick up keys, go out, shut the door and realise I have the wrong keys. Hubby has left my keys in the door so can’t get back in - locked out. Hubby takes me to work in his car, had to leave him with the problem. Didn’t pick up the milk for work which is my job on a Tuesday. Dreadful day work wise, not just patients but drs expectations of what we can do is ridiculous. Have come home and just sitting here fiddling around as can’t be bothered to do a thing, not even talk
However one good thing - @Kaylz is back. YIPPEE WELCOME BACK LUV, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU POSTING AGAIN. The only brightness of the day. X
