Group 7-day waking average?

Think I need to be testing before bed as I was before
was feeling a bit dizzy and rough and on testing my levels was 3.1
on the glucose chews now, will see what levels I wake up to in the morning
 
Good morning to you all. Woken up by my wife wandering about at 3am, but we went back to bed shortly afterwards. Then still got up reasonably early at 4am.

BG 4.9 excellent

We had a great day yesterday. My wife struggled to get up at 7am so we could catch a train at 9:30. Me, I was up hours before. Waking seems no problem for me. Nor sleeping too. I know some struggle to get rest, must be hard for them.

Lovely birthday party. Great cake which my daughter had made. I enjoyed 2 slices of it and a few other bits and pieces. Ruined the days diet. 98.8g carbs guessed at just the afternoon snack time with the cake and stuff. 2.5Hrs later BG 5.1. And Still, lost some weight back down to just below target. It's just fluids and solids variation I guess.

Today, nothing planned. Out to the shops at 8am to get some fruit. Making some fruit jelly later. Nothing big planned.... I want a quiet, peaceful day. Parties can be very noisy and with my tinitus my brain gets scrambled with the constant noise and the strain of trying to understand what people are saying.
 
Good morning, 6.1 today

have a Great day everybody
 
6.4 this morning.

Working all day then a Zoom call with SurvivorsUK to go voice the things I was going through last week and just check in.

I’ll cook something in the Instant Pot for supper tonight but will try my best to not so completely over cook it that I actually end up with soup like I did yesterday
Have to say though, chicken dansak soup wasn’t that bad
 
06:46 BS 8.2 I’m ok with that! Yesterday was a tad bit higher on less basal but, only a wee bit, 10.5 being the highest so, to keep ahead of the need to lower doses post illness now, I reduce even more at 21:35 ish LR. I was REALLY struggling to stay awake for 10pm LR before going to bed from about 20:30 thinking it was 21:30 my eyes were THAT blurry I read the time wrong from my wrist watch! Was really quite annoyed to discover it was only 21:00 half an hour later & thought “Oh no!” Then, around 21:30 I decided to throw in the towel & go to bed so, decided that I’ll slowly move LR doses back to where I’m comfortable with both morning & evening times: the last few nights I’m SO exhausted from trying to stay up going to sleep & be SO reluctant to wake at the alarm that LR has gone in an hour or two late anyway! So, I set the alarms for 09:00 later this morning & 20:00 tonight! I’m thinking I’d like it to end up at 06:30 & 18:30 or 07:00 & 19:00 will give me enough lee way for getting up & going to bed? 🙄

My waking readings may be that bit higher with me steadily reducing insulin but, that’s ok with me: know now the huge differences in insulin I need when well & when I’m not; forewarned this time NOT to be caught out by not reducing enough fast enough & having to head off hypos! 😱 As long as all the other readings are reasonable, again I’ll not be too concerned with 10’s post meals, I’m ok with that as I get back to normal doses the next few days!🙂

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

Just had breakfast & a quick check to see if tesco are fixed yet & they are back up! So, booked next week’s shopping for Monday 01/11! 🙄🙂
 
7.8 today and off home later, had a nice break.
Have a good day all x
 
A high 9.8 today! Probably down to a very lazy day yesterday.
 
Morning all. I completely forgot to check in earlier, think I’ve lost the plot! Anyhoo, 6.4, happy with that as struggled to keep numbers up after our roast dinner yesterday. Think I overdid the bolus, I had to have two slices of toast four hours later, then was still too low for bed so had to have a ginger nut, which is the only thing I can tolerate if I’m not wanting to eat.

I have at last managed to almost empty my freezer so going to our lovely local butchers/ fishmongers for a big shop. Is it sad I’m excited? Then I can spend all day tomorrow cooking up a storm. Can’t wait!

Have a great day all.
@Robin will it be flat walks for a while now? I couldn’t face any ups and downs for quite a while after our trip to the SWCP!
@Gwynn glad the party went well and you managed to eat all the naughty stuff and get a great reading.
@SueEK hope you feel nice and rested after your break.
@freesia have a great week off.
 
Morning

6.8 here this morning

Thinking I may have to call the chemist as my Sayana Press is due the 9th November and I've usually got it in by now but I haven't heard anything about it, also had insulin issued last Tuesday and haven't had a text to say it's ready yet, tried to have a bit of a laugh by saying to Bruce that it's probably held up in a port somewhere to which he replied "don't we make our own" he wasn't too impressed when I responded with "well you do" lol xx
 
5.6 for me today. 🙂
Finally got my Tesco delivery booked.

Dez
 
Morning everyone

4.1 at 7:18am for me - 16.0 units of tresiba done

9.4 at 23:08pm bedtime

5.2 at 9:28am before breakfast - 38g of carbs - 4.5 units of humalog for food

during the evening while watching dancing on ice I had 1x baileys which has all gone now and 2x whisky & diet cokes. I didn't have any biscuits at bedtime and no humalog.
 
Had my booster jab yesterday and 7.4 this morning, but that was more likely to have been due to eating a glucose tab and half a ginger biscuit at 10 past midnight when a Low Glucose alarm woke me, then putting my pump onto an 80% TBR for the rest of the night.
 
A 5.9 for me this morning at 07:00. Late up as Hugo slept through for the first time!!!! I'd forgotten what it feels like not to be totally exhausted 🙂
 
Yay it’s the holidays.

A 6.8 on waking and a trip for a PCR planned shortly. Been near a number of positive cases. I don’t feel 100% but hope there’s not a connection. Never mind week at home now rather than doing what we were doing just to be safe.

Have a good day all.

I honestly burst out laughing, of course he meant didn't the UK make it (which it seems they don't) but to say something like that to an insulin dependant! haha, called the chemist and they have it so all is good! Hope you get a negative result and feel better soon! xx
