Group 7-day waking average?

@Maca44 I use a strimmer or brush cutter, but am wondering now if a weeding ring would be more effective 😉 😉

4 for me off to buy a new weeding ring that I lost paddle boarding all pay out isn't it, want a new cordless drill really.

Some great numbers this morning and positive vibes it's so nice seeing people making progress here I will never forget how confused and upset I was when I first joined back in November never thought I could dig myself out of that hole but you gave me the Shovel and now I just need a trowel.

Is that a special ring just to wear in the garden? 😛
 
Morning

13.2 :( I assume too many biscuits but I can only assume as no idea what happened over night due to being sensorless, applied one after my shower, activated it, an hour later - Please check your sensor, if it is loose from your skin please remove and start a new one, if applied properly try starting sensor again, it wasn't loose so tried starting it again, an hour later - glucose reading is unavailable, try scanning again in 10 minutes, tried every 10 minutes for about half an hour but I', up at 5:20 and this was all after 10pm so had to give up, this morning - sensor ended! 😡 will apply another after tea and call Abbott in the morning!

Put the old microwave out Wednesday night as someone was supposed to come get it for scrap. was still there yesterday and was starting to panic as council put letters out a few weeks ago to all residents due to neighbours and other closey's having prams, toys etc blocking the closey and the fire and rescue service has made them do something about it, anyway if things weren't removed by tomorrow the council would remove them and fine you, thankfully messaged the lassies partners page and he was here within an hour to get it but she messaged later saying they had been rushed off their feet, they were round the back and passed out closey twice on Friday so wouldn't have taken 2 minutes to come up the stairs and grab it from the door!

Good morning everyone 🙂
8:17am - 10.5 waking - 18u tresiba taken and also 2u humalog correction
23:19pm - 7.4 bedtime - bgl below 8mmol so had 26g of carbs with no insulin

Questions
Re this mornings high - I'm thinking at least it's not too high - did I have too many carbs for my bedtime snack?
- I usually have my tresiba around 7am ish but this morning was later so is this ok?

Re bedtime
- teatime and humalog was 19:47pm with another injection at 20:09pm for pudding - is it ok having my bedtime snack at 23:19pm or should I have waited a bit longer ie 4 hours when my last dose at 20:09pm of humalog was out of my system?
- with my bgl being only just over 8mmol should I have had less carbs?

Please can someone give me the answers to my questions?

Only just clocked that and I'm not going to change it looks like I have just dug another big hole for myself :D
 
Good Morning All
Hope everyone is well. A 5.5 for me this morning.
Have a great day.
 
Morning all. 5.6 for me.
Hope you all have a good Sunday
 
What a strange morning...

Woke at 4am. Shut eyes to snooze. Reopened my eyes at 6am. Way too late.
Got up. No internet. I assumed it was the provider or exchange.
Went out for some exercise. It started to rain as soon as I went out for my walk.

Reason to be downhearted?

Nope

The rain was very refreshing. Great walk a bit soggy by the time I got home
The lack of internet turned out to be my tablet deciding to disconnect from the router.

It's a good job that I decided not to panic. 🙂

BG 4.9 so that was good.

Weight down to 56.6Kg BMI 21.3. just 1.4 Kg to go to get to my goal.

Maybe you didn’t need a bedtime snack @mum2westiesGill (I take it you had one) since your BG was over 8 - didn’t the DSN say to have a snack if your bedtime BG was between 5 and 8? It’s a useful rule, I’ve been using it too. :D

Hi @Bloden and thanks for your reply. Last night's bedtime bg was just under 8mmol - it was 7.4. It was waking this morning that was over 8mmol - it was 10.5. It's my target range which is between 5 and 8. The DSN said to have a snack if bedtime BG is below 8mmol which I did but it all went sour.

I can’t get the idea of bedtime snacks either. Being Type 1 on Humulin M3 I cannot let BG fall too far but never quite sure as how much insulin my pancreas will produce or what the liver will decide to trickle out.
At times I think I’m understanding what body is doing then the next day it’s a total mystery. At least I’m managing to keep it balanced and know signs of Hypo so might convince DVLA to give back my Class 2 license. Consultant being seen Tuesday to back application. Hopefully.
God knows what happens if he doesn’t see it the same way. Job gone and out on street?
oh well optimistic me?
DVLA very quick to revoke permission to work, but bloody slow to give it back. 3 months of collecting results before even considering then how long does it take with work to rules and Covid restrictions in Swansea.

4.4 for me this morning after a jelly baby a couple of hours earlier for a 4.2. Haven't eaten anything and still 4.3 now so rock steady!
Got no DP or FOTF at the moment but BG heads skyward in the evening. I went out for some exercise after low carb dinner last night and came back with levels 5.5 and dropping so had a very small chunk of blue cheese and less than half of a sesame Ryvita (approx 3g carbs) and an hour and 15mins later I was 8.1 and climbing so had a 1 unit correction before going to sleep. Sleep stops the rise... I need to save insulin and sleep more!

@mum2westiesGill 26g unbolused carbs is an awful lot when you were so close to the upper limit of your target range at bedtime. I am sure the nurse just meant a 10g snack like a digestive biscuit to hold your levels steady, especially when you have reduced just your Tresiba dose again.

@mum2westiesGill i agree with @rebrascora, 26g is a lot without insulin. My snacks generally are only 5-10g. Anything else i bolus for. 7.4 is so close to 8!

If it's around the level of 7.4 again I will either have less carbs than 26g or I will bolus for 16g of the carbs
