Group 7-day waking average?

Well, we’re back home, both a few pounds (lbs!) heavier. Cases unpacked, washing in the machine, glass of wine at the ready. We visited all the places that were recommended and thoroughly enjoyed it.

No rest for the wicked though. We’re off to Portrush tomorrow for a family Sunday lunch. My wife’s nephew, wife and 8 month old son (so my wife’s first great nephew - she has two great nieces) have come over from Yorkshire for the first time since their baby boy was born.

I need to get back to all home cooked nutritious low carb meals to guarantee morning readings in the mid 5’s. It won’t be there tomorrow morning.
 
After just a bit of cheese last night I’ve recorded a satisfying 5.5 at 06:00 this morning. Weather’s looking good too. Have a good one.
 
Another 4.8 for me today. 🙂

Good morning to you all. I feel a bit down this morning. Wife was a bit 'off' yesterday. Not too bad but it shook me up a bit.

5.3 BG which is excellent
Weight up a little which is not excellent but normal variation. Still it always makes me feel worse when it does rise.

Sun is breaking through but I feel very tired this morning so I probably won't get out for my exercise.

Or maybe I will !!!!!

Determination is nowt without grit. So I will just take a few moments to beat myself up a bit and stop being so lazy and self pitying.

A big update to the App maybe later on today. Adding Gi and GL if I can. Getting good information on some foods is not so easy in terms of GI.
 
Morning all.

9.2 for me. High but first time it’s been under 10 since I started testing in the morning again!
 
Morning all and a 6.4 today. Hubby and grandson out with the dog and then we are going to take him to the airport for breakfast, he will like that. Have a good Sunday all x

Whoop woop! Well done @merrymunky. :D

Morning all. 🙂 5.4 here. There’s no reason for my fasting BG to have improved - I haven’t changed a thing! Oh, I know what it is - I’m wearing a fresh pair of pj’s. Silly me.
 
Morning all, 7.7 here, but I was 5.8 half an hour ago, and was just brushing the 4s in the wee small hours. Dawn is back with a vengeance.
The Red Arrows flew right over us again at riding yesterday on their way back to Scampton. They were incredibly low and loud this time, but as usual the horses didn’t turn a hair.
 
6.7 for me this morning but only as a result of corrections at bedtime and earlier this morning. I seem to be doing really well through the day with my levels but my basal needs have started to rise in the early evening and I start needing corrections then. My levels used to drop in the evening. Nothing stays the same for long with diabetes does it!
Off to my sisters this afternoon. Going to ride out with her on her horses and then have dinner before heading home. Her lovely husband is cooking chilli for us afterwards so I won't be practicing/fine tuning my Sunday Dinner insulin regime today.

@merrymunky Congrats on breaking through into single figures. Hope that gives you the encouragement/motivation to keep at it. Well done!
 
Morning everyone. A 4.9 for me today. The last few mornings i've been in the 4s but if i reduce my basal back i have highs overnight. Will need to keep an eye as i don't want to drop lower.
Have a great Sunday whatever you are doing.
 
Morning

A high 11.2, not feeling too great today

Well apparently an electrician WILL be at Bruce's this Tuesday but I've told him to phone tomorrow and make sure! He's now left with no days to take off work so will be working over Christmas for the 2nd year in a row :(

Good morning everyone 🙂

7:08am - 4.6 - waking this morning - 19 units of tresiba taken - might be a bit on the low side but at least it's not hypo
22:25pm - 8.7 - bedtime was 3 hours after teatime - BG just above 8mmol but fancied something to eat so had 1 pkt of mini cheddars 12g of carbs - if BG is above 8mmol my DSN has said to have insulin for the carbs but I'm a bit wary of taking insulin at bedtime so I told MySugr bolus adviser it was just 0.2g of carbs instead of 12g - bolus adviser said to take 1 unit of insulin but I reduced it to 0.5 (or half a ) unit of insulin.

Please comment on what you think 🙂
