Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 7.6 for me today

I prefer to wake up in the 4’s or 5’s but not,

think I might have to try harder on what I’m eating (need to have a go at baking @Maca44 low carb bread again) last loaf was just about palatable toasted
I’m eating to much Warburtons at the moment

feeling a bit frustrated as I would love to be able to reduce / stop insulin (NovaMix)
(alre discussed with GP & DSN) but to me it looks like I will keep taking insulin alongside Metformin plus the once weekly Ozempic injection for the foreseeable, im only taking .5 not the full 1mg due to already being treated for diabetic retinopathy (for the last 4+ years) so they don’t want to increase Ozempic to the full dose due to the concern / risk of further problem there.

next Hba1c booked for 12/08 will see how that one comes back I’m anxious it will have risen again though (my last one was 52)
and I have appointments next week @ local hospital
Eye department next Monday (Diabetic Retinopathy)
& Orthopaedic dept next Wednesday (Ankle)

Have a Fantastic Day Everybody

03:50 BS 4.9! Eek! 😱 Don’t like waking in the 4’s albeit only just: not much wriggle room; a JB munched before I started posting!

A very early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

I’m geared up to start watching the golf from tomorrow with live coverage from 06:30 & been checking out on who’s starting when. Unfortunately some big names aren’t there due to CV: Masters winner Matsuyama is the biggest name who tested positive several times & isn’t coming to the UK; no symptoms but, 2 or 3 tests is rather conclusive & golfer’s being super fit athletes don’t generally get very ill with it or have symptoms! :confused: AND of course, Tiger Woods is still recovering from a broken leg in February 2021 & didn’t play The Masters earlier this year either!o_O

So, the field is ripe for an unknown, relatively, to win this weekend: this is a TOUGH course & CAN, & has, tripped up big name players in the past; biggest surprise, & shock, was an unknown pro golfer playing his first ever major Ben Curtis who finished his final round in 2003 before the final pairings for all those ahead of him coming a cropper & ending up winning! 😱 It was a real life “Tin Cup” event: film starring Kevin Costner about an unknown playing his first US Open; he didn’t win but, “went down in flames” with a 12 on the last hole, par 4, repeatedly trying to go over the water & stay on the green & finally holed it!o_O The film was earlier, in the 1990’s, & nobody expected an even more extreme case of a win by an unknown first timer in 2003: not even Ben Curtis himself who was preparing to pack for leaving & was told that he could end up in a play off as one after another dropped shots after he’d finished his round & he was trying to warm up again on the driving range; in the end not even THAT was needed & he won it outright!😱😱😱:D

Hi 5.5 today
 
5.0 this morning for me. 🙂

Good Morning
A 5.8 for me today!
Have a great day everyone and stay safe.
 
Morning all. :D 8.8 here...didn’t need that JB at bedtime after all, oops.

What a scorcher yesterday afternoon! Luckily, Gwennie had the sense to have a swim in the sea, otherwise I think she might’ve self-combusted - woof!
 
Morning all. A nice steady 5.5, that number pleases me because it looks nice. 🙂

Insect bite not as bad today, hand not red or swollen anymore thank goodness. I even managed the ironing. @Robin i don’t think it was a Blanchford fly, I read the article and the woman concerned, said it took a while to show, mine was instant. We were close to water though, an old quarry, which obviously doesn’t flow, and it’s covered in duck weed at the moment, so I’m thinking it was probably a common midge! Horse flies don’t affect me until the next day and you can see those big blighters a mile off!

Off for babysitting duty this morning, looking after baby Zara at her home while our daughter gets organised for their trip away tomorrow. They’re off to Silverstone for four days, it’s going to be hot! Zara already has her ear defenders ready. This is a 30th birthday present for my son in law. He only found out about it on Saturday. Daughter got a tee shirt especially printed for Zara that said “ Surprise, we’re going to…..” on the front and “ Silverstone” on the back. Four months old and going to see the F1 racing. Kids of today eh? 😉

Have a wonderful Wednesday all.

@eggyg
It’s best to start Petrol Heads when they are young. Beautiful photos
 
4.1 for me and looking forward to a few hot sunny days in the garden flowers all out and have loads of bee's just what I wanted, small wasp nest is staying in summer house my wife wants it gone but I find it amazing how it's made. The older I get I see how nature is so amazing in the art of surviving and how stupid we are as a species destroying everything around us but we think we are the clever one's ? not so sure now.
 
Morning all, we’ll settle for 6.6. I was 3.8 when I woke, but a big dip on the graph, like @khskel I'd been sleeping on the sensor, and 15 minutes later I was allegedly 7.3. (Algorithm thinking, she's going up quite rapidly, better add a bit on). Theres now no sign of anything over 7 on the graph, and I’ve settled to a flattish line in the mid 6s.
 
Morning

10.1 here after a couple too many Lifts 😳 sensor is going to be reported today, it's been consistently 1.5-2mmol out but last night got to 3mmol and this morning 5mmol which isn't acceptable even with just 4 days left, damned thing keeps alarming! 😡

@DuncanLord I haven't had a chance to look through the photos yet as tried to last night but got a message saying the site was currently being updated but from the daily totals of carbs you listed I'd say there's nothing wrong with it and if your happy with it then stick with it, meals wise I only total about 105g daily xx
 
@Michael12421 hope you got some sugar in to yourself ASAP and are now back up in range xx

Hubby 11.1 this morning diabetic nurse put up his insulin units to 44 morning and 18 at teatime to see if it helps get bloods down but it’s hard as we’re trying to get him to put weight on

More insulin ought to help with the weight gain, as if he’s got high blood sugars, it means the glucose isn’t being used by his body, either to provide energy or store as fat, and his kidneys will be trying to flush it out of the body all the time.

He’s only got one kidney cos he’s had a kidney transplant and I’m always concerned about high bloods but diabetic nurse is trying to get it down but it’s heard as he’s not mobile at the moment and carnt do excise to help get it down .it was stable till he went in to hospital for his brain tumour surgery but hasn’t been since and that was March he only eats child portions and not many carbs but it’s still high .I think she’s going to get him something to test with I don’t know what it is but he has a smell about him which I think smells like his insulin sometimes
 
4.7 for me this morning, morning yoga done, now for run this evening.

Getting excited to go on holiday to North Norfolk on Saturday. @eggyg - I am jealous, I would love to go to Silverstone for the Grand Prix, instead I will be watching chanel 4's coverage as no sky TV in the caravan.

Have a nice day all. Slightly different hair colour for the holiday.
