Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 5.7 today

have a great day everybody
 
Good morning. 5.0 for me.

@merrymunky you'll do it i'm sure. The photos of Eris are lovely, she looks such a happy little girl.

Have a good day all
 
05:26 BS 4.5 Eek! 😱 Didn’t expect to get up so early this morning & just heading off a hypo with a sip or two of full sugar coke! It turned out that I only got up last night to eat, take LR at 23:30 & then, went to bed, again! I had another yummy sandwich as it’s quick to make & waking in the 4’s didn’t give me much wriggle room: only had the coke as a precaution whilst making sandwich!🙄

Just finished munching & had NR! I’m now currently watching All 4 Grand Designs House of the Year 2021 with the first episode of 4 surprising houses with only 1 going onto the short list of the final 4: 4 houses in each of 4 categories with 1 from each making it to the final. 😎 Looking forward to seeing all the houses & see which one wins it?😛

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

Forgot to reduce by another -2 LR last night & it looks like I needed it but, maybe a good thing as I’m more or less back to a normal ish day pattern! o_O🙄:D😉
 
Morning all. I love how different the readings can be in the space of a minute. 1 finger says 15.3, another says 13.2 and then the first finger again says 14! Either way it’s too high…
 
4.1 for me this morning.
Reduced my evening Levemir by 2 units last night after a very active day yesterday but still needed a couple of Lift at 3am or thereabouts when I woke up on 4.1. Just caught it before it hit the red again. Phew! 😎
I have a new 7day personal best TIR this morning 95% in range with 0% below! (Never had a 7 day period with no hypos!) Yay! Not only that but I actually have 4 days consecutive of 100% TIR. Can't believe how my diabetes management is suddenly complying and it isn't like my basal insulin doses are correct and stable as I am still needing to tweak them. Just shows the difference routing the DF can make!

@merrymunky Eris is absolutely gorgeous and growing up so quickly. Definitely not a baby anymore. Thanks for the lovely photos.
Hope you can get a grip of your diet again. I used to live on carbs and sugar, so I understand what it is like and it is an addiction, so not surprising that you keep falling off the wagon. Cutting the carbs right down to break the craving cycle and then eating more fat to make it sustainable is what has kept me from stepping back onto the slippery slope..... even though I need sweets for hypo treatments occasionally. You being a fussy eater and vegetarian makes it so much more difficult though, so I do sympathize and especially when you have a busy job and Eris. I really hope you can find a way to gain control for the long term AND most importantly, it not be difficult. For me that is the mind blowing part about eating low carb. I just don't crave those foods anymore and it is relatively easy to refuse.
I do wonder if the vegetarian products you eat are too highly processed and that is compounding the problem for you as regards cravings. There was a program or podcast recently about "ultra processed foods" being addictive and this being part of the problem with diabetes and obesity in our population. Eating minimally processed foods has also helped me and cooking from scratch. Sometimes it is really hard work to motivate myself and I can't be bothered but when I can, I batch cook, so that on the days when I come in knackered, I can have one of those meals I have cooked and frozen. Really hoping you can find a sustainable way forward with this.
 
Good morning everyone.

BG 4.2 this morning. A bit on the low side.

Ate some flap jack yesterday. Not planned but I just couldn't resist. I may go on a longer walk today to exercise it away. I enjoyed it though! 🙂

App update yesterday took all day but went well. Home made pizza went well too.

Nothing planned for today.

Have a great day
 
PS. @merrymunky I particularly love the photo of her in the yellow jumper. She has a quizzical expression on her face.
 
Morning All.

8.0 today.

Have a good day
 
7.6 this morning, think it is a combo of up earlier, plus I have my delayed appt with my DN at 8.40am, was dying to do a pee, but needed to get a sample too, so was doing a bit of a war dance in bathroom trying to get organised! rofl Yes I did have some pasta last night, but tested after eating it and was 6.6, so .... babysat granddaughter last night so mummy and daddy could go for their anniversary meal, and the sweet darling hits her 3rd birthday today - where did those years go??? We will see her later on today at some point, she has lots planned.
Here is granddaughter with the new double-sided easel grandad bought her and the talking till from Uncle C that they gave her early yesterday evening

Morning all, 5.8 here. Which numpty left her Libre low alarm set at 5.5, (which is what I set it on when I’m gardening so I can see a hypo coming and head it off) and got woken up from a lovely deep sleep at 2am when it buzzed!
My arm was very sore this time too, @mage 1, after the Pfizer, it wasn’t after my two AZ's.
 
7.3 today. 11deg atm. high of 13deg and cloudy - wind's getting up 14mph. in Poole today.
@merrymunky -- lovely pics of your daughter she looks a real cutie. Maybe bump into you on the Baiter walk. Watch out for the old codger on an e-bike in a silly hat (Aussie slouch hat).

Morning all 7.1 today.
@merrymunky good to see you back and loving seeing how Eris has grown, lovely photos. You can do it!!
Have a good day all x
 
Good morning 🙂 at 7:41am it was 12.7 for me this morning because I chose the wrong thing to do at bedtime last night and had 2x 2 finger kit kats! Done 15.0 units of tresiba and 2.0 units suggested humalog correction.

Other bgls
22:32pm 5.8 within target but below 7-8mmol for bedtime
 
Morning all. 6.6 again for me today.
In a rush, cut and blow and ‘tash removal this morning. Pick up Mr Eggy’s Darjeeling from our local coffee and tea emporium, meet middle daughter on her lunch break, primarily to help me chose some sports clothes for granddaughter’s birthday, but we will pop somewhere for lunch too!
Im planning on walking and need to set off at about 9.30 ish. I’m showered but haven’t had my breakfast and as some of you know, I need to make sure that’s eaten and back out again before I can leave the house! I hate early appointments!

This afternoon baby Zara is coming for her first sleepover. Mummy and daddy are going to Newcastle to see Sam Fender ( yeah, me too. Apparently he’s a singer). I may be on early tomorrow!

Have a fab day everyone.

And as everyone else is showing baby pics, here’s the girl herself. She’s 8 months old now! She isn’t really in the woods with her Gaga’s teddy, but Mr Eggy is experimenting with his photography at the minute. We were at the woods on Monday and he’d taken the photo of Zara a couple of weeks ago. 🙂
