Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Non waking but now ish reading - 11.4

Slowly improving but have pulled various muscles I didn't know I had with the coughing.

Tesco's delivery today and lots of naps scheduled 😉

take care all 🙂
 
Morning all, it’s a 7.0 for me today.

I would agree with you on this one. Could you ask them about having more novorapid maybe with your evening meal to stop the spike being so high? I'm new to this myself so just thinking about what I would be asking if I was in your situation!

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.

It’s funny with Libre the odd sensor gives results that are points off.
Just had one telling me I was 7 and flat when BG was 4.0.
I’d been sitting watching it for four hours whilst fasting. Testing both voids and libre to see what was going on.
Gave up test and had meal at 10:00 last night.
Abbotts replacing it. It’s definitely on naughty step.
 
Morning all and 5.8 for me.

Had a lovely evening trogging up and down multi storey car park steps and exploring some rather wonderful industrial dereliction in the name of getting some decent band photos done. Mission accomplished I would say.

Had a proper wobbler of a hypo later on but all's well that ends well.

Have a good day every one.
 
Morning all - another perfect day. 27C forecast.

5.3 with a flat line all night. Met the new DSN yesterday, she seems lovely but hardly got a word in as the pump nurse was sitting in and more or less took over. They seem well pleased with me as time in range for the last 90 days was 87% with only 2% under 3.9 and that time span included my holiday where I was eating in restaurants every day. So, although I have a consultant appointment next Fri, the nurses have discharged me for a year, although I can ring if there are problems. So.... I must not get complacent and must still keep my eye on the ball. Fortunately Libre seems very accurate for me and is usually within 0.2mmol of fingerpricks.

Congratulations @goodybags on your HS,

@gll hope you feel better soon.

Hugs to everyone else, hope you all have a lovely day.
 
Good Morning everyone

6.1 at 8am and then I ate breakfast at 9am (scrambled eggs, 1 small wholemeal toast and grilled tomatos) - 2 hours later 8.1 - Happy with both these figures as they have come down considerably, especially in light of the hot weather.

I am having a massive clear out today, got 3 of my kitchen cupboards empty of things I basically never need, I will take loads of mugs etc to charity shops, is it just me or does everyone have 50 odd mugs they never use?

This afternoon I have my first DSN appointment, I have a lot to ask, including a new couple of symptoms (in fact the only symptoms I have, if they even are related to diabetes), I am feeling sick a lot of the time, have abdominal discomfort and pain in my right hand quadrant (shoulder blade at the back). I also find I have a very severe upset stomach 1 hour after eating, very dark stools (could be all the leafy veg have raised my iron levels) I wonder if its a coincidence the nausea and upset stomach, but the pain kept me awake last night, reminded me of my monthly stomach pains so will get that checked.

I have received a letter asking me to come for an eye screening but its the same day as my daughters graduation so they are rearranging for 3 months time. (I explained I had the OCT advanced eye scan in July which I paid for myself with my optician as I am already monitored for Glaucoma, and all was OK) So she was happy to delay for 3 months but said its important as they refer quicker than a normal optician if a problem arises.

Such a hot day today, hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine

Normal service is resumed, 7.6 this morning, but I did eat pasta and a mini magnum with mum last night as I stayed with her and helped her with her evening meal as her eyes were still blurry from the eye drops. She has the first cataract done on 11th October then 8 - 12 weeks later for the other.

Had another bad night with sleeping, bad dreams, itchy arms and of course the heat.

@goodybags - congratulatons on your HS.
 
Anyone else running high in the heat? I’ve stayed about 6.3 all day so far and the only thing I can put it down to is the heat.
 
it was 9.9 before before breckfast this morning according my novoecho pen i inject 6 units instead of 4 last night whiell at least thats what the display said(these things happen sometimes) and i ended up eating something something at at qauter to midnight which actually held it steady in the 7s from then until until at at last 20 to 5 this morning(i was montieting it though out the night for the above reason). evening spikes have seem to have become a thing again but if i feel like i take my livermir earlly the the spikes i can''t in the morning will be more.(i'll need try and test that out at onepoint because they was time i was sure my evening spikes were due to when i was taking my livermir but thwen i tested it ot it didn;t happen). but everything worked out last night

I have to say I find it really hard to see 6.3 as "high" Colin 🙄, but in response yo your question, I have gone the other way and I am on my second hypo of the day despite a basal reduction last night and another one this morning. I have been out in the heat for short spells walking up to the village to check on the GGs .... who are coping surprisingly well but then they have a stone built stable and just spend most of the day in there and I have been hiding in the cool of the house in between visits. Not eaten anything other than hypo treatments since breakfast so it was my basal insulin that has taken me down this afternoon, despite the reductions. I would really like to go shopping but keep getting grounded from driving by the hypos! Arrggh!

i would call 6.3 a prefect number i like 6s
 
@rebrascora @rayray119 it’s all subjective I suppose.
I know what I’ve eaten today and I know where I would normally be and I’m higher than that. So no, 6.anything isn’t high in absolutes but it’s higher than I’d otherwise expect to be 🙂
 
Right need a moan.
So I don't drink (choice), I lightly vape after stopping a 30 a day ciggy habbit a few years ago, I'm low carb, don't have sweets and junk and my joy in life when it comes to food and drink are coffee and sugar free vimto.
I cant blummin taste either of them.
I can sorta deal with not tasting much food but my precious coffee and vimto bring under fire is getting real old real fast 😡 😡 😡
okay done ranting. TY :rofl:

Laid on my sensor while having a nap so got rudely woken up by a low alarm (far from it) so I might be a wee bit grumpy at the mo 😉
Suppose I had better go make a coffee I can't appreciate :rofl:
