Group 7-day waking average?

3.9 for me
Birds are singing garden blooming sun is shinning, what's not to like.
 
6.9 for me today. Stuck with 5 units Levemir last night as didn't get out for a walk yesterday although I expended plenty of energy and sweat trimming horses feet. It would have helped if they had cooperated more but I think Cora particularly, having stiff joints finds it uncomfortable and kept pulling her hoof out of my grip every few seconds. Rebel just kept falling asleep and leaning on me and then losing his balance and snatching his foot back. They both caught my Libre Sensor a couple of times but my strap held it in place. Farriers really do work for their money! My back is very stiff today and I still have Meme to do..... Might leave it for a day or two.

@Michael12421 So sorry to hear you had such a nasty experience. Are you sure your reading was high before you went out? Did you expect it to be so high and did you double check it? Please make a point of taking your testing kit with you as well as hypo treatment and make a point of checking your levels whilst you are out in the campo. And please make sure to take proper hypo treatment. Fruit juice would be good in the circumstance and you have used that before. I am sure they will sell little multipacks of juice cartons in your local supermarket, but a couple of spoonfuls of honey will work and make sure to carry sweets with you and have something by your bed. The heat is likely the problem and you need to factor that in. Please take care.

@Flower So sorry to hear that your levels misbehaved yesterday too. I imagine a case of stress pushing your levels up and then crashing as your liver ran out of glucose. Hope you are feeling better today.

@DuncanLord I find it amazing that your levels are so incredibly stable and even more amazing that you are worrying about such minor deviations. BG levels are unpredictable for a whole mass of reasons, many beyond our control. I am sure you must read other posts here and realise that yours are much less variable by comparison. I really hope they stay that way for you and I think perhaps the honeymoon period is being kind to you. It really takes time to figure out how exercise affects you and it can be highly personal and not relate to calories necessarily and as @eggyg says the lowering effect can last over a 48hr period. I did a 7 mile walk the day before yesterday and had to eat about 50g carbs to keep me from dropping low during the walk. It was quite hot and temperature will make a difference and fitness and the type of food you ate before and how slowly or quickly it releases it's glucose. I was walking on an empty stomach which probably didn't help. You will figure it out but the sort of variation you are seeing is really minimal and it would be totally normal for a non diabetic person to see that sort of change in their levels.
 
5.6 for me today. Not bad despite the efforts of last night's spagbolg. :D

@Michael12421 - so sorry to hear about your awful experience. You really must start taking your glucose meter and a small carton of oj out on your walks. I never leave the house without the basics. I hope today’s a better day. Take care.

Morning folks. :D 5.7 here.

The curtain-hanging at my mum’s is finally finished! And we planted a climbing hydrangea too (I didn’t know they existed).

Bloomin DF @Flower. I hope things are more stable today.

Thanks for replying Barbara
I know my levels are good, at the moment, compared to many on the forum.
I’m also probably being too pedantic BUT with the DVLA being so exacting about numbers, for re issuing of my Class 2 license, the closer to perfect I can be, the more chance of being able to have a job, I can return to, the better.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
7:11am - waking - 4.4 not great but ok - 18u tresiba taken
4:10am - 5.4 in target range - during the night
23:25pm - bedtime - 5.5 in target range but below 8mmol so had 1 bag of mini cheddars 13g of carbs and no insulin.
 
A 4.9 for me at 06:10 this morning. Look like being a better day in West Berks today

Yes I appreciate that your need to get your PSV license back is the big driving factor in your strive for perfect control and the frustration you feel at unexpected minor deviations but in the long term I am just trying to prepare you for the realities of living with diabetes. Burn out is a real concern/threat, particularly when you try too hard.

Looks like your Tresiba is still dropping your levels a bit through the night but still too soon to make a call about whether another reduction is necessary.
 
Morning

A whopping 13.3 for me this morning, have a few things playing on my mind and stressing me a bit, the first being Bruce going out tomorrow night in a different area and it's making me rather anxious :(

Tried to post earlier but told me the forum was temporarily unavailable again

But did you get to the Gherkins yet I need to know 🙂.
 
@Michael12421 - I hope you are feeling better today, that sounds like a scary experience.

4.1 for me when I woke up, decided that was fine to go for a 5 mile run, got back felt extremely dizzy, took bg again and was 3.5, so I had 2 post run jelly babies, still feel a bit wobbly but bloods are now 5.

Happy Friday everyone.

No I haven't attempted myself got too much on my mind to be concerned about those and my right hand is killing even to inject myself xx

It was 30/6 when I last decreased my tresiba so just over a week ago. I'm thinking the same about it still dropping my through the night levels.

Another terrible start, I had some bombay mix whilst watching TV last night could that be to blame 13.1

So no more bombay mix,

I’m very fond of the dried Indian snacks, but am able to resist them when shopping twice a week in Sainsbury’s. I can’t, however, resist salted peanuts (KP’s only) and mini Magnums.

Part of the reason I am not encouraging you to think about reducing it straight away is that I get the impression you quite enjoy a snack at bedtime (correct me if I am wrong), and reducing your Tresiba another unit will most likely negate that snack, so you would possible then need to inject for the snack if you wanted it which is not the best situation at bedtime. A further reduction might also involve your levels going high through the day and needing more corrections then, so it may be a balance between your Tresiba being a little high and continuing your bedtime snack when needed or reducing the Tresiba and possibly needing more correctios through the day.... which your nurse is already saying she is unhappy about...
So.... I would leave it a bit longer and see how it goes. If you were going hypo then I would say don't wait. I know you had a hypo the other night before your evening meal but I think that was a one off from what I can remember.... again, correct me if I am wrong...
