Group 7-day waking average?

Good afternoon all, sorry missed this morning went for a swim and have been too busy all day to log in

5.2 for me this morning again

Hope everyone is having a good day
 
Morning all. Not sure what to report, been awake since 4.15am. 3.4! Five minutes later 5.6! Compression obviously. Checked on metre when I got downstairs at 4.55am. 4.6! I’m now 5.3, no basal or bolus injected yet. I’ll stick with 5.6. I’ll be glad when this sensor finishes and I can get it back on my right arm so I don’t keep lying on it in bed. Totally ruined my TIR. :(

Busy day today, four grandchildren in Grandma and Gaga’s Free Childcare Centre! They’re back at school next week so back to just the one for a wee while. Might save some money! :rofl:

Have a fab Friday. It’s the weekend,again!
 
Good morning 🙂 6.4 for me today 🙂

I decided a long time ago that sensors worked best on my left arm, partly because of he sleeping thing but also generally get better results (i.e. closest to meter readings). So I always put the sensors on my left arm only 🙂

I always put mine on my right arm but last week I had a failure after two days and I could not get the sensor off. I don’t have room on my skinny little arms to put another sensor on the same arm, so I fitted it on my left arm! Worst decision ever. I did eventually get the faulty sensor off after two days of oiling /picking/scrubbing!
:rofl:
Interesting you say you prefer your left as I know you’re left handed, whilst as a right hander I prefer my right. You would think it should be the opposite as it is definitely easier to take readings this time with it being on my left arm. I’m always a bit cackhanded holding my phone in my left hand to take my BGs and quite often end up dropping it!
 
Good morning 6.0 on the nose today
 
Morning all, 6.5 here. Managed a unicorn day yesterday- just - the teabread yesterday afternoon when I got rained off from gardening nearly scuppered it. It’s amazing what a properly functioning basal cartridge will do.
 
07:11 BS 11.7 😱 I completely forgot to bolus for heinz chicken soup I had before going to bed!😳 I went to bed & couldn’t drop off as I was a bit hungry so, had some soup & went straight to sleep more or less afterwards! I did wake at one point, apnoea is back while asthma is acting up, thinking did I bolus & thought I’ll see what it is in the morning?o_O

Well, I clearly didn’t! 😳 But, extra correction this morning for breakfast just now of two chicken & chutney sandwiches just eaten before posting! Now, I’ll do my inhalers.🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Morning all. 12.4 😱, no idea why. I struggled with levels yesterday and finally managed to bring them down to a decent number just before bed. Its the last 12 hours of this sensor. Its been a good one, really accurate, so i can't blame that. Oh well, a correction with breakfast it is then.
 
5.7 for me today. 🙂
Grey and overcast but possible light rain forecast.

Morning. I got 5.0 this morning. Probably because I dozed off instead of making dinner when I got home, and woke 3 hours later when 14 year old went to bed... so I ended up having very little dinner and no carbs in it by the time I felt properly awake enough to see what easy food I had as I wasn't feeling very hungry. (I had felt hungry when I got home :rofl:)
 
3.8 for me this morning after a very slow and steady descent from 8.0 at bedtime so I guess that 2 unit basal increase last night was a little too much. Like @eggyg though 5 mins later when I injected my Levemir it had jumped up to 4.7 and I hadn't set foot out of bed, but I know my previous reading wasn't a compression and now 4.2 so it is wavering a bit. Finger prick says 4.6 so I am not eating any carbs just yet because it will just put me into orbit, even with 1 JB, so I am hanging fire. My coffee should lift it about 1mmol.

Yesterday I was either high or low. Could not seem to stop in the middle. I hate days like that which was why I increased my basal last night because the lows were due to rage boluses and I went straight back up again when I treated them of course, even with just 1 JB. I am so sensitive to carbs. Days like that make me horribly agitated and I just wanted to eat anything and everything in sight.

I'm on a roll with Wordle though and got it in 3 again!
 
After yesterday and the miraculous 5.2 I am pleased to report that today I am still in the fives with a 5.8!

Mum said her cataract op went fine yesterday and no she doesn't want a parrot to go with her eye patch.
 
Morning all. 9.6

Gotta sort out a bunch of paperwork this morning and hopefully feel okay enough to try going for a walk around the village this afternoon. Needing some fresh air and to move a bit more than I am. Will see how much my lungs complain.

Anyway for now, going to grab my shower and then shove a sensor on. Been without to try and conserve them 😉

Good morning.5.9 today. Met office suggests rain incoming tomorrow but today is blue sky with high, fine, wispy, clouds. Managed to get the end wall to the barn re-painted yesterday afternoon which has improved the view from the kitchen window. Very impressed with recommendation from local independent paint shop - nice and thick, good coverage, and half the price of Dulux - hope it wears well.
No great plans for today, a bit of weeding and some restful 'sit-at-the-pc' research on log splitters - any recommendations? The ash die back trees are going to be firing the kitchen wood burner and cooking my food instead of the oil CH and the electric cooker this winter (with some over for the neighbours). At 14kw output to heat I should be toasty but I pity the poor dabs reliant on standard energy sources. Perhaps time for a non-Etonian/multi-millionaire government?
Have a good day everyone.
