Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone hope you're all going to have good Saturday whatever you're up to. We're waiting for our new suite to arrive 🙂
7:21am - 9.2 for me so just slightly over my target of 5mmol - 8mmol - 19 units of Tresiba taken
23:52 - 4.7 - treated myself to a kit kat - yummy
23:34pm - 2.7 - bedtime - 3 and 3/4 hrs after tea of a delicious prawn fried rice which I really enjoyed - had 4 jelly babies

No more stressing for me 🙂 - my numbers are what they are and will be treated or dealt with 🙂

When I say mid life I mean Mid life and abit so at 56yrs it has less time to fade i'm now thinking about another already. My two are 23 this year I can't believe how quick time goes once you start a family but I still want to pick them up for a hug but get a backache if I try :D.

I love your sense of humour, mine were 30 in March and in my case my son who lives with me picks me up, but a mummy hug from him when I am feeling down is worth its weight in gold. Maybe I should just go for it with the tattoo and stop worrying what other people think.

So it's official I am going to go through a mid-life and a bit crisis same as @Maca44, although not going to do the whole getting a bike thingy as I hate my son going out on his.

Sorry everyone gone off at a tangent.
 
@Grannylorraine go for it! As I say I've angel wings and also got a star on my shoulder blade and a heart with wings on my outside upper arm, I'd love more and will one day, my mum was in her late 40's before she got her first and she's 4 or 5 now xx
 
A 5.9 for me today. Yes higher than I would have liked but explainable following last nights exercise. Lol that sounds wrong but let me explain.
I was going swimming at the pool with the scuba diving club, at present do not have medical to dive but using swimming as exercise.
17:37. BG 5.6
17:41. Insulin 1 unit (Humulin M3 ) and 2 Metformin tabs
17:45. Tea. Chicken portion Mash potatoes Mixed veg Apple and Coffee. 95 carbs or 665 cal
19:27. BG 8.7
Drive to pool.
20:24. Pre-swim. BG. 6.7
3 digestive biscuits. 19 carbs to preload
20:32 to 21:29. Pool swim. 1350 m (54 lengths) in 56:46. Ave pace of 4:12 per 100 m.
21:31. BG. 4.8. Too low to drive home.
21:32. 3 Digestive Biscuits. 19 carbs
21:17. BG. 6.7
Drove home
23:41 pre bed. BG. 8.0

Are there any Athletes, Swimmers or Scuba Divers who can fully explain this carb loading?
As it will cut down on the trial and error
Many thanks and have a great day.

I am not qualified to leave a comment. I had to Google Tresiba because I did not really know what it was. Based on your readings and times well they are very much like my own. Like you I eat what I want to, when I want to and bolus for it. Yes I have has my bad times but over the past year I have been relatively stable and thankful for it. I can't remember how many hundreds, if not thousands, of times it has been written on here that 'we are all different' but it is true and should be treated as such. This makes me reluctant to advise others on such matters. Just keep on doing your best to control your situation, that is all that can be done.
 
10:23 BS 10.7 & I’m actually relieved! 😱 & this one with a drop of sweat over one eye, saying that first as it’s not for laughing! :D Phew!

Yesterday was a super high day & eventually went to bed after HUGE NR dose of 84 units 17:23 BS 16.4! o_O Woke up the highest I’ve ever been 12:59 BS 20.6!!!😱😱😱 I felt very rough all day & heart was racing at about 90’s lying in bed with little trips to the girl’s room & food in the kitchen to 110’s so, stayed in bed all day! Only ate twice & the corrections after eating the first time gave me a clue to what I needed so, the scary huge dose for dinner was cautiously chosen & worked out. Conked out more or less after eating & had a long sleep! Woke up feeling the difference just now & waking BS, although still high, is something I can work on from a lower basis, starting point!

I’ve been wondering, yesterday, if it’s to do with my 2nd vaccine & kept a very close eye on my heart rate & not wait about a week later, like last time, for it to get to the 150’s! Had cold symptoms for about a week followed by very fast heart rate before seeing GP who booked me an ECG for the following week then, although it had dropped it was still in the 120’s & had the long stint of 12 hours in A&E for blood tests & scan for possible blood clot! It took so long as my blood kept getting clotted while they were processing the tests, having to come back to get more from me every 2 hours 3 times & that’s possibly why they checked me out for a blood clot so, instead of taking blood once & processing for 4 hours it took 8 hours & another 4 hours to look through my CT scan with the x-ray dye pumped through my veins! They’d asked for my vaccine card after the 1st vaccine & I didn’t know until afterwards that that week there were 3 people in the UK who had massive blood clots in major veins/arteries from the AZ vaccine & 1 had died with one in the big carotid artery in the neck!

I feel better today but, will still keep an eye on things & if I get worse again or have any doubts I WILL go to A&E as it’s a Saturday!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
9.2 and rising when I first woke up but jabbed my Levemir and 2 units of Fiasp and went back to sleep intending to have half an hour more but woke up 1hr 45 mins later on 3.4 according to Libre, but it always reads lower than finger prick. No point in double checking with finger prick as I didn't intend to treat because FOTF sends my levels up and sure enough 5 mins later I was 4.0 on Libre and rising.

@Lanny Hope you are back on an even keel soon. That sounds pretty scary. I hate it when levels go high and won't come down. It does make you panic and start to think that maybe insulin will no longer work, but the panic and irrational thought is all part of the high BG levels. Sounds like you managed it really well.

Wow @Lanny keep testing!! I hope you feel better soon. That must have been so scary.
 
And @Michael12421 took a lot of lectures to get to where he is now with his control but he knows it was only done because we care and don't want anything to happen him! xx

Nice evening spent with my friend yesterday, she is also T2 diagnosed last year but only recently decided to do something about it.

Something I don’t really understand, but better late than never. We’re all different, but without good health life can be hard.

Mr Eggy’s mid life/retirement crisis ( at 57) was hastily solved by buying an F Type Jag, it was preferable to a ponytail and an earring! Although that would have been a bit cheaper. I’m still waiting for mine, at 61 I think I’ve maybe got through it. When we retired I just wanted a new fridge! 😛
 
I’m waiting in the queue at Cairnryan ferry terminal where the phone signal is variable.

We went to an Italian restaurant last night. I had calamari as a starter followed by a 12” pizza - wafer thin base. Shared a bottle of Prosecco. A cornetto from the freezer when we got back to the cottage. I fell asleep on the sofa and went to bed just after midnight and slept well.

I woke up at 05:30 this morning so got up, washed my hands and had a prick. My highest ever 10.4! I pricked another finger … also 10.4! I felt absolutely fine so went back to bed and read the paper. I tested again at 07:15 and got a 5.4. Maybe there was still some detergent on my fingers first time round? Who knows.

To be fair, she lives on her own, was working long hours in a supermarket during Covid with lots of horrible customers and had just given up smoking. She couldn’t face changing her diet completely as well. She is doing great now though and is committed to it.

I’ve ridden motorbikes since I was about 12. Riding a Harley for many years I frequently got, “Ah, mid-life crisis?” It always made we want to scream. Everyone talks about it, so it must be real. Men with pony tails? Lift up a pony tail and what do you find underneath

A mid life crisis for me is a thing, not a big thing, but just a thing. You spend your younger years going mad life is just one big party you then settle have kids then life just speeds up and you don't get time to think about much else other than bringing up the children, then, they are grown up luckily for me I live a comfortable life no mortgage etc just a P/T job to keep me in toys then you have time to think about life and realise it end's so I guess that is what triggered the MLC for me.
