Group 7-day waking average?

[Barfly]

Late no board today with an 'orrible 7.8. Took a tumble on the bike the other day and the bruises just starting to appear.
The lovely Jane was walking down by the pier on the Bournemouth sea front and the marathon spectators all rushed in front of her and she didn't see the cable cover in the ground and she hit the deck badly, fell awkwardly and twisted her back and bruised her right elbow and both knees. She was not the only one. A young feller about 20 fell over the same obstruction at the same time, he bounced back ok. These cable covers are supposed to reduce the trip hazard when cables are stretched across the pavements and walkways, but they are invariably far higher than required and often cause more problems than they alleviate. Good old Gaffer tape is a better solution, not so high.

Morning. 6.2 for me. Meal out for daughters birthday last night followed by a correction or two during the evening, so pleasantly surprised with this mornings number...let’s see what numbers today holds 🙄

Disappointing about the boats @Barfly , hope you had a good visit.

Will you be playing live gigs @khskel ?

Hoping everyone has a good day

We will be doing but nothing until next year.

Just spoken to the Diabetes team
Yes I’m rushing to get the carb insulin ratios for Bolus. So that takes longer before they set that up.
apparently the Lantus in the evening should keep BG’ constant so if I go to bed on a reading it should be that in morning. Which it basically was.
They have put the NovoRapid bolus up to 3 units with each meal and we look at it on Thursday.

What’s the S in DSN stand for? Snail in your DSN’s case @DuncanLord. At least you’re ‘getting there’ now.🙂

A double-ow @Barfly - I can’t like your posts at all! I hope you both recover asap.

I think it could be that as I am still on small doses, as sometimes my pancreas has a fart ( or a stit) they are taking it slowly so I don’t hypo.
anyone fancy a donation of a partial non working pancreas as in NHS Organ donation. Lol

They’re a damned nuisance. I go over them on my mobility scooter and the bump hurts my back. I hope you’re not hurting too much. .

Sorry - forgot to post this morning 5.0 for me

 

[Gwynn]

Good, nice and early, morning everyone at 5am. Been up since 4am and only just posting (updating the App).

BG 5.0 this morning

Today is a test. Walking, hopefully to and from the hospital, probably about 12 miles and a bit. My guess is between 4 and 5 hours solid walking all in. Eye tests at the hospital, when eye get there ( 🙂 )

I feel very well and very prepared this morning....(cue creaking trap door...)

Except that my pulse has dropped to 49 and both machines agree (which is very unusual). Blood oxy at 98%. BP 121/81. So everything else is just fine.

We had a really good day yesterday thank goodness. My wife was very settled.

Interesting.

I hope you all have a good day today. I will let you know how I get on.

 

[SueEK]

6.8 today and I shan’t be walking to my hospital appt lol. Hope all goes well @Gwynn .
Have a good day all x

00:31 BS 8.4 So, so!

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

Normalcy returned yesterday & apart from 2 readings in the 4’s: 4.1 & I REALLY felt lightheaded & faint so, hypo awareness is back & had 1 JB & 4 biscuits; 4.5 two hours after that when I felt low again & I ate another biscuit! All caused by my still too much correction of a cautious 8 NR: didn’t give it long enough to test the extra basal; eventually went to bed exhausted on 11:46 BS 10.0! Had a long sleep & woke lower than where I left myself before bed: the hypo treatments eventually caught up with me; 1 JB & 5 nice biscuits in total because I added a correction too soon for the basal to get working properly😳🙄

Already had breakfast & JUST finished lunch 2 hours ago &, just now, 05:44 BS 9.8 I’ll take that as it’s under 10! 🙂

Guilty m'lud. Yes it was I.

And it’s was @Kaylz extolling the virtues of the Victoria sponge from Iceland.

Hi Neil and welcome to the thread. Sorry to hear you and your family are battling Covid. Hope you all fully recover soon. Understandable that your levels are high at the moment and having poor sites won't help with that I imagine. As someone relatively newly diagnosed I can't offer any suggestions on that front but hope your diabetes team are able to assist in some way. You should be able to contact the helpline and leave a message for someone to ring back if you need support. Having high and volatile levels makes you feel rotten. Hope they come down to lower, more stable readings soon.

Hi I know this is probably the wrong place at least my sugars are dropping since getting COVID-19 I have no Idea how to read anyone's reply I'm getting quite confused since COVID-19 I've had no interest in food the lack of taste is alarming it's coming back but nothing taste the way it should I'm 6 feet 7inchs tall and all I've been managing to eat is one tin of soup and that's not every day and that's making me feel sick. Then yesterday I had ordered something from Amazon I don't get much sleep but got woken up by the driver saying he wanted a password what the hell I hadn't a clue I can stand but not for very long this was my wife's 50 birthday present I thought at least she will have something nice but no they took it away wasn't very good for my marrel . It seems they are now just putting passwords on for deliverys because people have said they have not received can't believe that.
How do I read message as I've had a few respond

With bp and blood ox levels like that aren’t you just exceptionally fit perhaps? Would that explain the slow pulse?

Hope today goes fine at the hospital and that you have an all round decent day.

Morning. 7.9 today.

Good luck with the hospital appointments @Gwynn and @SueEK

 

[SueEK]

At present stuck on the M23 been here 30 minutes aargh!!

Hideous day yesterday.
Saving grace is that the friend and I who’d fallen out last week are now back being civil and that gives me hope we can rebuild the friendship.

Legal stuff still rumbling on. Adding another layer of lawyers to my team this week with a laser focused specialism which will likely be useful. Also the insurers who are underwriting the entire thing have said that they’re not going anywhere and are content to continue underwriting costs.

Other legal stuff: still no response from the SOIT officer who was a no show last Friday.
I’ve held off making a formal complaint because I’d rather know what’s happened to cause him to miss the appointment than cause grief however my intention today is to speak with an ISVA from SurvivorsUK and see what they advise. Also I really just want the VRI done and dusted so I can start to close this chapter. There may be others if it ends up that they do know who the assailant is and it goes to Court but at least this part can be done.

Oh and I scoffed trifle last night. Was in Waitrose and somehow a chocolate and sour cherry trifle just appeared in my trolley. I’ve honestly no idea how that happened but clearly it was trying to escape from the store so I didn’t have the heart to put it back in the fridge and leave it there.
So I took it home.
And ate it.
All.
Oops.

Feeling the consequences of that in my stomach and will do for a few hours yet I’m sure. Oddly though my BG reading this morning was a perfectly fine 5.8.
I was expecting upper end of the 7s after the trifle so redid the test twice more and got another 5.8 and a 5.9.
I’m not going to take that as an indication that I can revert to old eating habits however. But it’s good to know that my pancreas can cope with the odd bit of non bread abuse from time to time.

Other highlight from yesterday was seasoning an old cast iron skillet and deciding to go out today and treat myself to a good quality pan for use on the induction hob. Probably end up with something from Lodge or maybe De Buyer although Borough Kitchen did have some beautiful copper pans which are induction compatible. They look stunning but I can’t really justify the cost. Still it doesn’t cost anything to look and see how they feel in the hand and how well balanced they are…

Eek. Hope it’s not insulate Britain glued to the road.

Morning all

After my magnificent restart to metering after a five month lay off today and yesterday are disappointing. This morning was 7.5. I had a pretty good day of walking yesterday as I went into work, but my carb intake wasn't great, but not that bad. I am wondering it is because I am sleeping so badly.

I remember cycling down the M23 before it was opened, also went for a bit of a trip around the M25 in the Redhill area.
