Group 7-day waking average?

Well done Barbara @rebrascora on that House Special. 🙂
5.8 for me today.

Morning all. 🙂 5.4 here.

My fab DSN rang me yesterday and we agreed on a couple of tweaks, so I'm just checking those this morning. Gwen'll have to wait for her morning walk - luckily, the mist has come down so it'll still be chilly when I finally get around to taking her out. I'd best avoid her til then cos she bounces off the walls until she gets her walk - she'll be wiped out before we even start! o_O

Ooo @Lanny, sorry to hear you're feeling so rough. Dr Google is a weird one - helpful / unhelpful at the same time. Hope things improve asap.

Congrats! on the HS @rebrascora.
 
Good morning, 7.5 for me. New sensor started last night, i hope it stays as accurate as the last one.

@eggyg gorgeous sunrise.
@rebrascora congrats on the HS. I hope you're feeling better today.
@Lanny I'm pleased you got some sleep.

Its sunny here atm so i'm off to get the washing done and out. Have a good day.
 
6.1 this morning.
Going to head out for a long slow hobble about a bit and see how my leg is afterwards.
 
Less than HF yesterday's at 8.3. So at least I did not over treat hypo around 1:30 am. It did give me widrd dreams though. One was about a mix of former work colleagues discussing pay and conditions. In the other I was having lunch with Nicole Sherzinger and we were discussing Lewis Hamilton!

Congratulations to @rebrascora on HS!

Well I am still struggling with my levels. Needed a 2 unit correction at 8.15pm for a 9.4 and then high again at bedtime with 12.3. Hit it with another 3 correction units and 5 units of Levemir and slept soundly and woke up to this....

Very happy with that!

Congrats to @Barrowman, @khskel and @MeeTooTeeTwo who were my fellow HS achievers yesterday I believe.

@Lanny So sorry to hear you are feeling so anxious about your health but pleased you managed to get some sleep and a reasonable waking reading this morning. I think we all just have to appreciate every morning when we wake up and as you say, try not to worry about the stuff we have no control over.

Woo hoo! Many congratulations. It must be my turn soon. 😉

18:36 BS 8.0

A VERY late, hope you had a Wonderful Day, from me greeting for just being SO off kilter today! 😉

Why? Oh beware of the double edged sword of Dr. google! 🙄

I googled “talking in my sleep” as I was thinking about how my mum did it a lot & the things she said about me in her sleep would always hurt me as they were things she never said when awake! I talk in my sleep too but, only when under stress, that’s heightened with lack of sleep, & I’m always aware of doing it but, can’t stop myself from doing so as soon as I slip into sleep! Travelling with my late mum, & dad of course, the last few years before she passed in 2015 was always stressful & sleeping in the same hotel room with mum I knew she would hear me when I talked in my sleep, letting go of all that stress that travelling with them, all that “watching a tennis ball” back & forth attention needed to take care of their needs as they were like children wanting things NOW! would spew from me as soon as I slipped into sleep! I didn’t want to hurt mum by what I said in my sleep so, always talked in English: she didn’t have that choice & I KNEW she wouldn’t hurt me either IF she had a choice over that uncontrollable impulse!

Well, google said it CAN be a sign of mental disorder but, not something to worry about if it’s only during times of stress occasionally!

BUT, a load of entries about apnoea also, came up in answer to my query & THAT seriously opened my eyes to a risk I never knew was there before which is now in the back of my mind making me a bit afraid to sleep! So, I haven’t done much of it last night, which wiped me out like a zombie for most of today: awake; not fully functioning!

Apnoea left untreated can shorten your life by 10 to 15 years & I had it constantly, every time I slept, for about 25 years of my life when I thought my sleep was normal: was only when GP asked how I’d been sleeping; I said as usual, waking up briefly every 3 hours or so! To my surprise, was told “That’s NOT normal”! I was waking up because I’d stopped breathing! So, I had a nose op to correct that in the mid 1990’s, I can’t remember when, & I’ve slept the whole night through, mostly, afterwards: always had nose bleeds every day when my nose would get bunged up with a cold; didn’t get any after the op as I didn’t need to blow so hard or constantly with a cold! Ghish! 😱 Couldn’t do ANYTHING about those 25 years of apnoea & if/how many years of my life were lost!

BUT, reading the next bit gave me a “jump”! There’s about a 19% chance of the heart stopping as well: mostly likely fatal; instant CPR would be needed!

I never knew of that “ticking time bomb” & now I KNOW!

I’ll get over eventually: but, right now; I’m afraid to sleep!

I AM going through a bout of apnoea these days while fighting of, whatever it is, & I always know because my heart rate is very fast when I wake up: breathing had stopped & just restarted!

I know I need to sleep but, I suppose I need to get over the shock & the fear first!

Dr. google can cut both ways: beware!

I like to know everything, it helps me cope with my medical issues on the whole. I have a friend who buries her head in the sand and then gets all anxious because she doesn’t know what’s going on. I only use the NHS website if possible or sites I know are reliable. You can scare yourself to death otherwise. Hope things improve for you soon.
 
Forgot to mention...I have had these NHS hearing aids a whole day now and I have to say they are a transformation to my life. Incredible.

Being able to hear again is wonderful and my hyper sensitivity to sudden sharp noises is less (I think) but the tinnitus remains (as expected).

Overall great, a new lease of life...

What's that you said? Eh? 🙂
 
Good Morning lovely people, its a 6.5 for me today and a late lie in (its the weekend 🙂)

Had 3 meals and just over 100g carbs yesterday which is probably why I have a slightly higher (although still OK reading) I may go back to 2 meals a day as the levels were quite good on the other days.

I am wary though as although I am still obese, as a teenager I had anorexia and these charts and messing with reducing things is giving me a control feeling which is what I had when I had my eating disorder years ago.

I hope you are OK @Colin g - have an easy day, drink lots of fluid and rest, although sounds like you had a lot of sleep last night sometimes thats what we need when we are under the weather. Have you any LFTs to test yourself,
 
8.0 this morning after a cheeky glass of wine last night and tried new hummus crisps..... Weekend treat! Reducing insulin as started a new tablet invokana ...not liking the side affects that it lists though
 
Morning all - with a bit of luck it might be a nice day today!

7.3 this morning. Was chasing lows (though not actual hypos) most of yesterday, presumably due to the extended shopping (exercise) experience the day before. Put a temp basal on at 10pm last night for 2 hours and as I was still skimming along in the low 4s at midnight I put another temp basal on for 5 hours, after 3 I woke up at 8.4 so turned it off again. Things should settle now!

Friends arriving some time today. No idea when or what their plans are. I've done all the prep for supper which is a Thai style prawn and watermelon salad followed by Tia Maria chocolate cups and a cheeseboard. I've also done all the prep for a roast dinner tomorrow + home made ice cream and strawberries. They and their dog are staying at a hotel about 4 miles away since we can't accommodate their sleeping requirements, so everything is a bit up in the air and uncertain right now!

@rebrascora CONGRATULATIONS on your HS.

@Lanny, I do feel for you, all that worry, but I know what you mean about Dr Google being a double-edged sword! Hopefully you can see your GP to get some reassurance.

@eggyg - lovely sunset. You do take some excellent pictures. Did you watch Masterchef last night? I don't want to post any spoilers!
 
5.6 for me at 8am slept later than I wanted to as have my granddaughters (4 & 1 yrs old) anytime now until teatime tomorrow, so have been dashing about since getting up sorting dogs, nipping to shops etc and now breathe until they get here. Have a good weekend everyone.

I did watch it. They were all really good. But the right person went. Glad “you know who” was out the episode before! I wanted to shove a bomb up his backside!
I see Lesley Joseph is on next week. I hope she’s better than Sue Pollard was last year! She got on my nerves. I’m beginning to think I’m becoming a grumpy old woman! :rofl:

All round to yours tonight then😉 if i set off now i might just make it in time. I'll sleep on the floor and stay for the roast tomorrow :rofl:.

I watched MasterChef last night too. I agree the right person went. So far i think the semi finalists are really good. Strictly to look forward to soon too.

Wordle in 3 today, i thought it was an easy one. How did anyone else do?
