Group 7-day waking average?

Oooh first up. Morning all. 5.9.

Going to be a scorcher, 26/27 for us. Haircuts and waxing this morning, back home for lunch and then will sit in the shade this afternoon. We’re going to fire up the BBQ and cook ourselves a steak for tea, with salad and tatties from the garden.

Stay safe everyone, especially those down south. 😎
 
Yesterday turned into another nightmare as my wife plummeted into her dark place.

I find it so hard to cope and the promised help from Lancashire county council never materialised. I feel so alone and very lost right now. I have no idea how to help her going forwards.

BG 5.3 at least that is ok

I shall go for a longer walk today I think.

Afternoon folks. 🙂 5.0 here this morning.

Complain @goodybags. That's disgraceful. Well done for not exploding. I'd have been tempted to walk out.
What's happened to the "Language Matters" campaign? Aren't medics supposed to receive training these days? I guess some people are such a-holes they're untrainable. I'm fuming! 😡

Anyway, nice to have you back @Telemóveis. Wasn't it your birthday recently? I hope you had a fab day.

Hi @Bloden - yes it was and it was an amazing day :D Ice cream, McDonalds and a walk around a canal with my boyfriend and sister🙂 followed by a meal at Chiquito🙂
 
Morning everyone 🙂 It’s an unfortunate 16.8 from me😱 according to my Libre I went as high as 24 overnight

And the past 2 mornings I was at 13 - this is despite me increasing my insulin…
 
Morning all. Been a bit AWOL lately but back from time away now and getting on with things in this heat which we definitely have in the Outer Hebrides! 5.6 this morning - don't think I've been that low for quite a while. I had my bloods done on Monday so will find out tomorrow if my HbA1C has carried on going down since my diagnosis back in March. Cholesterol too but I'm not holding out much hope for that being great as had a lot of machair buns (gooey lovelies) over the last 6 weeks - although weirdly didn't put on a pound (maybe the Metformin?). Anyway - have a good day everyone xxx
 
Good morning - 6.2 after a horrible sticky night. Not too bad after ice cream and very little sleep.
Find I am looking forward to the autumn - all this sunshine is just so un-British! Somehow it wouldn't seem so bad if one was by the med...The Gs don't seem bothered at all and Mr Wolf is happy enough if I keep a spray going over his run but mere human me have had enough of it...
Enjoy it if you can.

Good morning 5.2
following a night time hype woke up at 3:15am (sweating profusely) BS had dropped to 3
popped 4 lifts & back to sleep until 6am so the HS was most welcome

so I spoke to diabetic consultant on Tuesday
he wasn’t so happy with the idea to switch my Trulicity back to Ozempic
so will keep taking Trulicity for the forceable, as I’m still receiving treatment to my eyes
on a on-going basis (over the last 5 years)

have a great day everyone 😎

Sadly the various adult care services are lacking in most parts of the country. Beyond putting someone in a care home or arranging a basic care package (dressing/help with breakfast/meals on wheels) most if the social workers are bl**y useless and overpaid for what they do.. Many school leavers could do a better job! Hope you get some positive help soon!

Morning folks. Nice to see some missing people return. Sending out a thought to others still missing... @Lanny and @SueEK. Hope you are both OK and just taking a break. Was good to hear that you have got your PSV licence sorted @DuncanLord.

Well I ripped my Libre off on a tree branch yesterday. My trusty arm strap didn't stand a chance as it was a pruned back stump and the sharp end got right under the edge of my Libre as I wheeled a barrow load of horse manure under it. Anyway, it has prompted me to take a break from Libre. Must be well over a year since I last went "naked" with my diabetes and I think I was becoming guilty of micromanaging things. I was also getting frustrated at the discrepancy in readings of my last 2 sensors so some time doing it the "old way" will hopefully do me good in easing the mental burden and refreshing my love for Libre.... "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and all that. Felt quite liberated yesterday without it but hypoed 4 times.... all very easily remedied and mostly due to the heat and exercise and not being able to just check on my levels so easily. Must confess I got through a good few test strips but then with 4 hypos that is 8 test strips straight off 🙄.
Anyway, I knocked my evening Levemir dose down by 3 units to 2. Went to bed on 7.2 and woke up 5.6, so I am considering that a triumph!! Injected my morning Levemir (another 2 unit reduction) and woke an hour later on 4.5. I am missing scanning to see when to eat breakfast and having to keep an eye on the clock but giving it 30 mins instead of 45 to play it safe. Got the farrier coming this morning to put new shoes on Rascal. The sun always shines when my lovely farrier comes but I would have let him have an off day today as the ground really needs rain.
Another hot day on the way so the curtains are staying firmly shut. Hope everyone stays cool and safe.

My eldest just sent me this, my nine year old granddaughter and her gypsy cob Apache on an early morning hack to beat the heat. 6.30! That’s dedication.
Four year old stayed in bed, her pony ( Chesney) won’t be getting any exercise today!

5.9 for me today. 🙂

Dez
 
6.5
117/78
65bpm

Really overdid things on Tuesday with my leg so it was much worse yesterday morning and breathing was painful. Called 111 and they advised A&E. Took my trusty Kindle with me and went off to hospital.
Quite impressed as I only waited two hours before being seen by a doctor. Triage itself was literally ten minutes after arriving.
X-rays done confirming no breakages but the doc said I was very lucky I hadn’t broken anything and chastised me for not wearing a helmet. I will be buying a folding one for future use as I know I was lucky.
Apparently I’ve damaged the calf muscle and strained the IT band running up my right hand side and somehow in the process of somersaulting over the car I also tore my tricep and strained intercostals so it’s no wonder things hurt.

Off to the office again today but will play it by ear and maybe split the day and do half day today and half tomorrow as I wasn’t supposed to be working tomorrow at all.

What else…? Oh I heard from the talking therapy team and we’ve a start date for therapy. It’s face to face which will be a challenge in itself but it’s all for the long term good.
Also chased the choir for a response after the audition. It’s a “sorry but we had so many people apply and very limited spaces” however they’ve asked if I wanted to be kept on the list and informed of future auditions. I said I do.

Ooh and my kneeling chair arrived! It’s a Varier Balans so it doesn’t have a back but I love it. It’ll take some getting used to I’m sure but it’s another self-care related thing.

What else did you eat yesterday?
 
Morning all. After an 8 mile walk yesterday and reducing bolus for dinner, i still had 2 hypos before bed and the consequensing rebound into 17 most of the night. Have woke just to a 7.6 but feeling very groggy. I just can't work out this exercise/food/ratio thing. Only 2 days of our holiday left and after all the walking we're doing, i shall need to go home for a rest. It has been lovely though.

Its a hot one again out there. Take care everyone
@goodybags congrats on the HS
