Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 4.8 here. Popular number this morning!

Not much planned for today cos still checking, tweaking, checking my Pod settings. I've been daring and attached my latest Pod to my behind. I managed to take a pic of said behind, to check that the cannula had inserted correctly. The things we do for our diabetes!

Hiya @Lanny! So nice to hear from you. :D Sorry to hear about your ongoing health issues tho. I'm amazed how you manage to stay so positive.
 
Morning all. Thought we'd have a dull day with rain yesterday but in the end it was another hot sunny day despite a grey start. Again today rain is forecast, but it looks like it might turn out like yesterday as the cloud is breaking up.

4.2 this morning. 2 x JBs and about 1/3rd of a biscuit took me up to 11.4 half an hour later, now down to 7.4.

@Jenny65 and @rebrascora non diabetics can go as low as 3.0, so it may not necessarily have been a rogue reading. There were some interesting experiments done on the Libre FB group early on when the Libre first came out. One or two non-diabetic partners (obviously with too much money! LOL!) wore the Libre for two weeks and discovered they could drop to 3.0 on the odd occasion. I asked my DSN about it and she told me that it was possible and she had tested at 3.0 once.

Lovely photo @eggyg.... looking at the river behind you there's not a lot of water there!

@Lanny nice to see you back! Not nice to hear you are not so well.

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

Good morning and hello, just to add another reading to the list mine was actually 6.0 all night and on waking this morning

A very rubbish 11.0. I also had chinese last night and didn't really know how to count the carbs in it so just guessed. But it's my highest reading in weeks so trying not to be too hard on myself.

I also have high readings in the morning g if I have had a Chinese, I think it's because the carbs are complex so it's hard to keep it in check, but I think half a life is no life, so we may as well live it well 🙂
 
And it is a 6.2 for me at 07.45 this fine day.......
 
12:40 BS 5.0 :D Waking after a few hours of sleep & I’m very pleased by that!😛 Just had meds & tresiba & gulped down some more soup! That’s the good!

Now the bad or at least the ugly: my cycle has started just before I went to bed after posting earlier so, at least it saved me a bedding change if I’d slept & woken up to find that out! So, as per recent past experience, I’m going to be wiped out again with tiredness! Uuh! Sigh! 🙄 Dialled down the NR & still stuck in 84 tresiba, as I’ve stayed on that having learnt the HARD way NOT to fiddle with that!o_O Though I was tempted to up it when my BS was erratic & I think I was right to not change when I hardly ate anything this week!😱

May go for another 40 winks now? I certainly feel tired! A stream of z’s emoji!

Do you have about notion about why it was so stubbornly high?
 
7.4 for me this morning, was 6.3 last night, so starting to wonder if it's time to bring back the one unit of night time basal insulin, as it's started to slowly rise nightly by 0.5-1 consistently.

I was really happy when I had a Chinese on Friday - I stayed under 10 the whole time after eating! BUT I was then still at 8/9 in the morning, so this is probably why! I had some extra novorapid in the morning with breakfast (I wouldn't usually have any with breakfast at the moment, in the honeymoon phase) and it was back to normal by lunch 🙂
 
Afternoon

Was 10.something for me today, the lack of sleep is really getting to me and my anxiety was through the roof as the gas service was being done today (2 months earlier than last year), the letters stated PM and the guy turned up at 11am, a phone call in advance to say might have been nice! xx
 
sorry for late posting, I received an early morning message asking if I could look after my granddaughters, aged 4 & 1 for the day, had a fun but hectic day with them as usual.
Reading at 0600 was 7 probably due to the strawberries and Alpro (no sugars) yoghurt at 10pm. retested before breakfast at 0730 - 5.1
Hope everyone has had a good day
 
Sleepless night and a 6.7 this morning.
Physio appointment this morning miles away but it was that or a phone appointment in six weeks time which I did question the usefulness of as a physio appointment.

Hopefully it’ll be much cooler tonight and I’ll sleep better and wake up in the fives.
 
I should add that I only called to book the physio appointment yesterday. They had a cancellation for today hence the speedy turnaround but honestly what’s the point of offering a phone physio appointment as an option ffs.
 
Good morning 6.4 today.

at the moment we have gentle rain which is most welcome,
my podiatrist visit went well yesterday
toe almost fully healed from ulcer,
back in regular footwear (well training shoes to be exact)

hope your physio appointment goes well @ColinUK

have a great day everybody 😎
