Group 7-day waking average?

5.1 for me today. 🙂
And, yes, back to our more temperate climate.

5.5 for me today, good morning all xx
 
Not had a morning figure as high as this in the longest time.
7.6
 
Morning 10.2 but not tested straight away. Got my diabetic review today after bloods yesterday they pushed my appointment forward as I have been suffering anxiety, finally gonna get my backside into gear and look after myself , new to the group and finding it so helpful. Wholegeain toast and low fat cheese spread for breakfast, do you recommend I test 2 hours after breakfast? I'm on insulin
 
Morning good peeps. 🙂 6.2 here after snacking on Lifts and juice overnight.

Going out for lunch with friends today. Should be a laugh. Must remember to bring back some tit-bits for the dogs otherwise they'll sulk. o_O😛
 
And it is a 6.2 for me at 8.15 this morning after going to bed last night on a 12.0.
 
Morning all and 5.3 for me

Studio today. Got some serious synth programming and sound design to do. Only me so no distractions.

A bit of rain overnight, some of the ground looks slightly damp. Dug some organic matter in yesterday so hopefully it will retain what little moisture there is.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning


Was 15.something at 5am and 13.something by breakfast time, Diabox now telling me I'm back in the 15's and nothing I can do about it and not even getting dinner today, this is what anxiety does to you paired with getting angry at an idiot that was supposed to be up early getting ready and wasn't up until 9:45, I swear I was willing to do time earlier xx
 
6.4 for me first thing. Jabbed my Levemir.... up 2 units as I was fighting highs yesterday and an extra 1.5u Levemir last night which seems to have worked pretty well. Also jabbed 1 unit of Fiasp to deal with FOTF. Fed and mucked out 4 horses and sorted the chickens and cats and got back home to have breakfast and still gone up to 7.0 so 4 units in to(hopefully) bring it down so that I can maybe eat breakfast sometime before lunch today 🙄 Wish my liver wasn't quite so helpful! :(

@Robin Impressive result after pizza last night!

@Jules77 It might be interesting to see how high the toast spikes your levels at the 2 hour point and then again before lunch to see if it has come down into range. Am I right in thinking you are on a mixed insulin?

@JACK123456789 What was your bedtime reading? If it was lower than 18 then that would suggest that your basal insulin dose is not high enough. That said, I eat low carb and I usually find that I need 2 units of bolus insulin to cover the protein release from 2-3 eggs, usually injected a couple of hours after I have eaten them when the protein starts to release, so it is not always a means of avoiding an injection. Can you see an increase on your Libre graph about 2 hours after you ate them? ...I believe you do have Libre don't you?

Yeah on a mix , what does that mean? Just tested after 2 hours bg 10.

Hi,

as it stand my Libre has ran out as i was paying for it myself, i am still waiting on the nhs to send me the relivant stuff to get set up.

i went to bed sitiing on a 12.2 so not to bad but had egg because i wanted a avoid a injection.
 
10:36 BS 7.6 🙂

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

Starting to feel less tired now as cycle is on its way out but, ears are still a bit fuzzy! The inflammation waxes & wanes around my neck/throat, chin area: that’s what the steroids are for; the inflammation! Without them it takes longer for that to go away! The one & only time I’ve ever been stoned & tripped out in my life was those extremely vivid, time compressed, super bright colours of hallucinations o_O those steroids gave me & had to be properly weaned off them gradually: its what I think taking LSD is like? :confused: Then, the nightmares were only a bit better as the doses went down!😱 NOPE! Definitely don’t want to experience THAT again!😱😱😱 AND 3 Munch’s Screams are actually NOT enough to express my feelings on that!

The fight carries on! I’m taking it a bit at a time! 🙄 A wry Mona Lisa🙂
 
Good very late morning to you all.

nice and cool out there on my morning walk.

I have been spending a bit of time puzzling out an error in my App. Sorted now (I think). It is all getting a bit complicated, but great fun. A good brain teaser/ exercise

BG 4.6 again a little low but fine.

BP 119/77
Pulse 63

All good

I have a second cholesterol blood test next week now. The result of that should be very interesting.

Nothing planned for today except another walk and fixing any more bugs I find in my App.

Do you know why removing faults in software is called 'debugging' (I do).

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

10 after 2 hours is a good result because you started on 10.6. Hopefully by lunchtime you will have come down a bit and maybe be in range.
I don't have any experience of mixed insulin myself but it is a mix of fast acting, what we would call bolus insulin to deal with food and slow release (basal) insulin which deals with the glucose your liver releases. The mix is a particular ratio of fast to slow insulin usually 70/30 I believe and means you need to eat regular meals of a reasonably similar size. Those of us on a basal/bolus system have separate pens with these different insulins in and we have to count the carbs in our food and calculate how much fast acting (bolus) insulin we need for each meal and inject it before we eat each meal. It sounds complicated and it can be but you do get used to it. It gives us much greater flexibility in what we can eat or skip meals if we want to and allows us much better management of out BG levels. So for me, waking up on 10, I can inject extra fast acting insulin to bring me down into range. If you do that, the extra basal insulin that comes with it because they are mixed could cause you to hypo later in the day. So this morning I injected one unit of bolus insulin when I got up because my levels rise as soon as I set foot out of bed. I knew I wouldn't be eating breakfast for a couple of hours at least so that 1 unit helps to keep my levels reasonably steady until I inject for my breakfast.... which I have just eaten. I probably won't eat again now until my evening meal and my basal insulin should keep me steady until then. If it doesn't then the dose isn't correct and I need to adjust it.... which I have done this morning because it didn't hold me steady yesterday and my levels increased during the day so I have increased it this morning.

Hope the Libre on prescription gets sorted soon.
Yes, I realized the eggy meal was probably to reduce the stress of another injection but unfortunately it isn't quite as simple as that and in the absence of enough carbs your body breaks down the protein into glucose and you have to inject for that instead but it releases much more slowly than carbs, so usually about 2 hours after a meal I can see my levels starting to drift upwards and need a correction to stop it and bring it back down a bit. In some respects the protein can be more complicated than just having a normal amount of carbs but I appreciate that when injecting is traumatic for people, it looks like a good solution. This may be why your levels are not coming down. You could increase your basal insulin dose a bit if you persistently eat low carb to cover the protein, but you do have to be able to monitor your levels closely so that the increased basal dose doesn't drop you too low. Probably not a problem with your current levels but when you get down into the normal range, it can make quite a significant difference. Having Libre would be more important then to keep an eye on it.
