Group 7-day waking average?

13.0 that was after a breakfast of sushi i love sushi
 
7.7 today that was after breakfast
 
I hate this thread! And this is why:

Yesterday morning: 11.9 (had basically spent all night around the 10-12 mark, despite corrections)

This morning: 4.0 (was 10 at 9.30pm, did small correction, then 7.1 at 1.30 am)

Just in case people reading this thread think that everyone always gets 5's and 6's! Really fed up of diabetes :(

I think the thread is a double edged sword.
There are advantages for some as they find it useful to compare their figures and chart their progress.
For others, the disadvantage is that, like yourself, try as you might, you cannot make diabetes behave and seeing good results from others makes you more despondent.
You can only do your best Redkite. (((hugs))).

Thanks Cherrypie, very true 🙂
 
It started out as a sort fun way to 'average' the total scores of our members. But the calculations have long since gone the way of the Dodo and now I'm not sure what it's purpose is, unless we're trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records that is. We have a long way to go if we are, I think the longest thread currently stands in the hundreds of thousands when it comes to total posts.
 
4.1 at 6.45am, down from 8.3 at 2.45am. Now that the same thing has happened twice running, I've reduced basal rates 3-7am. What's the betting he will wake up in double figures tomorrow....
 
13.1 a wee bit on the hign side
 
I think I see this thread as an easy way to participate in the forum if you have not got a lot of time (ie, me). Fwiw I was 8.8 this morning and wondering - after having had salad for lunch and tea - if Coke Zero is not as innocuous as it might seem, as I had a 500ml bottle last night.
 
7,1 for me today
