Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

Been awake since 4:20! Feel exhausted already! The heat isn't helping either as it's roasting at the back of 5

I was 9.2 today, really feeling vulnerable without a sensor and the 2 fingers in good enough condition to prick are really sore now as well 🙄

My mum died when I was 18yrs and all this time on it only takes a little thing and she pops into my head and I'm in tears but the her love is always with me and has been passed onto my children and family she made me who I am and her values will last generations to come which is a nice thing I was lucky to have known her. Although we miss them they left us left us many things so are kind of still with us 🙂

5.5 for me today last night before bed 4.9 wow
 
Congratulations @ flower on the HS.

5.8 for me after sampling a cut off from the cake I made yesterday, tasted lovely, then I regret doing it.

Have a good Friday all, I will be missing for a while as I will be on my hols in Norfolk, and as well as the wifi being bad where we stay, I limit the amount of time I let the grandkids play on their Ipads, switches etc, so I only think it is fair I do the same and limit my online time and enjoy the beach and countryside.

Enjoy it and relax
 
Are there any mathematical geniuses who know how to calculate the effect of 70/30 Humulin on Blood Glucose over a period of time.
This morning I woke with BG of 5.4 at 07:27.
07:44 2 units Humulin 70/30
08:00. had breakfast 44g porridge oats and Slice Of Toast. (38 carbs. 268 calories)
09:49. Snack before long walk. Slice Toast and orange cordial. (Carbs 15g. 119 cal)
09:52. BG. After breakfast and before walk. 10.9
09:58. - 11:12. Outdoor walk. 7.03 Km in 74:38 mins. Ave pace of 10:37/km. active Kcals. 639. Total Kcals. 798.
11:20. After Exercise BG. 6.9

Log book photograph attached.
Now the question is……
Without the exercise, assuming my pancreas wasn’t thinking of farting insulin or my liver was chucking out sugar, what should my glucose level have been just with the effect of the insulin?
I can then hope to calculate how many extra carbs are neede for exercise or work.
Thank you in advance. 875B0BC5-82B1-4BA9-B736-4B8E04BD2F72.png

I don’t know nuffink. Sorry.
 
Further update on this morning BG figures, following walk
13:45 BG 4.2
13:55 Lunch. Pollock fillet. 120 g mixed veg. 60g penne pasta. Cup gravy. Medium Orange cup coffee. 65g carbs 465 cal

14:51. BG 7.3
So either the exercise had a continued effect or it was insulin/ time

16:10 BG. 7.2. Looks like it’s stabilised or morning insulin is wearing off!

just got to work out carb loading for Friday evening swimming session
Why can’t I be one of these inactive people. LOL
Because I’m not going to be controlled by this.
im going to control it. ISH. Hopefully.

@DuncanLord. Suuggest you look at a programme on I-player made by David Spiegelhalter entitled, Tails You Win: The science of Chance. Pay particular attention to the section on weather forcasting. That could be a good place to start in your quest to make sense of your data.
 
It’s 5.7 for me on this lovely warm Saturday morning. Have a good one.
 
Morning all. I go from the sublime to the ridiculous. Up at 8.50 yesterday, 5.50 today and I scored the same. 6.7!

Looking like another scorcher today and the farmers’ children are coming for a sleepover. They are supplying their own paddling pool. Too hot for any walks this weekend but I’m sure we’ll have a splashing time. See what I did there? 😉

Have a sunny Saturday but don’t forget the sunscreen. Or the insect repellent, they are out in force, although you will all probably be safe as they are all up here bothering me as usual! 😡

@Michael12421 hope you get the number up soon. I’m assuming it’s very, very hot in your part of the world. Take care. Plenty of fluid and small snacks.
 
4.3 and more Tattoo's this morning then that's it honest, well maybe 🙂.
 
Llongyfarchiadau on the HS @Northerner (what a mouthful!).

Talking of insects @eggyg - there’s a pile of dead flying ants in my porch. I went to get something last night and there they all were swarming and fluffing their little wings, eek! I told them a nice lady in Carlisle likes insects, but they were having none of it, so I had to zap them with insect repellant. o_O

Uf! @Michael12421. Not another hypo! I hope you can tweak something to fix the problem.

Mooorning all.:D 4.0 on the dot for me. Got a lovely few days ahead - my gorgeous bubbly blonde niece passed her maths degree with flying colours, so it’s a weekend of celebrations and llongyfarchiadau.:D😉

Thanks @Bloden it’s a while since I was bitten by flying ants. Horse flies are so passé now. 😉
 
Morning all. A surprising 10.2 for me having toddled along with a nice straight line overnight and then whoosh a vertical line at 6am...nice numbers all week too, so just one of those things.

Had a slightly busier week this week, which included a visit to the Physic Garden in London...which is as beautiful as it is interesting and whirl on the London Eye, bit of a challenge for me as I don’t like heights, but I can tick that off now and don’t have to do it again🙂 (it was good and not at all busy).

Off for an early walk on this beautiful morning, then some early gardening....nothing too much.

Have a lovely day everyone, whatever your doing.
 
Morning all, 6.7 here. I'm on catwatch today. Daughter is going to Silverstone. Her cat needed a trip to the vet yesterday, and needs to be watched carefully for a couple of days, so guess who 'volunteered' to pop over to her house and sit with it for a bit. Now the dilemma is, do I just sit in a comfy chair while I’m there, or do I do some gardening for her?
 
Another 6.9 today though very low carb yesterday. Had lovely breakfast out with daughter and grandchildren then went and bought two rats for my grandson. Not my cup of tea but that’s what he wanted for his birthday, daughter had looked into it all and got everything needed but I can’t abide their feet and tails ugh!
@Northerner congrats on the HS
@Michael12421 oh dear you have had a lot of low figures lately, hope you are ok x
Have a good day all and stay safe in the sunshine or you will start needing bits of your body cut out like me :confused: x
