Group 7-day waking average?

No slugs here, just a 6.4 instead.
 
Good moaning! Woke with Phantom Pain and a BG of 12.0 after less than four hours sleep. As I took painkillers before bed it is another hour before I can take more! :( Had a week virtually free from it but started again early hours Friday and every day since.

Have a tele[hone medication review later. They have given me a three-hour window. I personally think this unacceptable. They have been growing these windows for the last few years. It started a half-an-hour either side but now may be an hour wither side plus another half-hour!

Partly cloudy.

Good morning with a 7. I'm seeing my doctor this week and I'm going to ask her how come my BS is always lower after lunch than when I wake up. It's very confusing.

Have a great day everyone 🙂

You could be getting Dawn Phenomenon which is when the liver releases glucose to give you energy for your organs to function and means blood glucose is often higher when you wake than later in the day. If you test in bed that can help but if you don't test until you have been up and about for a while and you see an increase then that is referred to as Foot on the Floor effect.
There is not a lot you can do about it unless you are taking insulin and inject to counter the effect.

My post-meal reading last night was 5.1, but I got 6.0 when I did my waking test this morning. As @Leadinglights says, that's the way it is.
 
good morning, reporting in with a hypo on waking today (after a a terrible nights sleep) woken by alarm as sugars were 3.7 again 🙄
I was going low late in the evening following a HS just before I ate my evening meal of Pizza (ok it was only a small pizza) one of small side plate sized ones, so had a 2 bananas before bed and sugars were rising

in the night was the lowest hypo I’ve experienced, had dropped and woke at 3.7 (when alarm went off on my Dex) hypo just didn’t want to go away glucose tablets & 6 jelly babies (all I could find) after half hour
was at its lowest I think 3.1? I did check when I was eventually able to get some blood out of my fingers and that test showed as 3.8 so got up and made myself a Nutella & banana sandwich and sugars rose t soon to just over 6, eventually slept for about 4/5 hours,but on waking was just dropping and was 3.7 again, so had breakfast early (usually I can’t eat before 08.00 but I’ve eaten and I’m ok & heading off for work.

a busy day @ work today and iHave my EYE treatment this afternoon
will message GP later this morning once I’ve seen my 08:30 appointment for work
not sure if Hba1c is due but think need to get it done and they need to review my meds

TC everyone HAGD 😎

Morning

7.7 on a very grey morning. Nothing planned other than work.

Congratulations to yesterday’s HS.
 
6.0 on a rather dull and grey Berkshire morning. Despite the yellow weather warning we got no thunderstorms yesterday, in fact we got no rain at all. It was a lovely warm & sunny day and I got all our laundry dry on the line. Just as well - there'd be no chance of that today.

Normal routine kicks in from today with my wife and our eldest back at work, albeit WFH. Our eldest's girlfriend is here too, so she'll be doing the same. I'll be doing what I usually do and try and stay out of everyone's way, especially if they have Teams meetings going on. Hate it, to be honest.

Hope everyone has a good start to the week.

A 6.0 for me on this dull and drizzly autumn morning. 🙂

Good morning everyone

BG 5.3 !

Yesterday at the church was good and bad. The new pastor was good. The old sound system played up badly! There will be change!!!

Today, walk, walk, walk, eat

Just been watching an interesting video on utube about added sugar and fructose in our food. Maybe I should cut back on my daily sugar intake further...

Tired this morning. And I thought it was tuesday !

Just created a good backing for a song for next Sunday at church. Great fun.

My wife is doing well as she is taking her meds. Thanks for asking.

And I bit my tongue yesterday. It is sore today. Stupid thing to do!

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

apparently if you have a compost heap slugs will quite happily live in there, so I’m told - if you re-locate them into it, that might be a good idea.
but I’m going to admit we put the ones we found in out vegetables a plastic bag, then they went in the dustbin, probably not the most eco friendly way to get rid, but after they ate both our mint and my first crop of Kale I was totally pi####d off
after 2 nights o n slug,patrol after dark we actually never had a problem again

{EDIT}
oops … I misunderstood
I thought you meant where to put the dam slugs, not the copper tape 🙄

No that IS what I meant! Where do you put the slugs? Hopefully not put them over the fence into the neighbour’s garden!

Tol be shared with @Gwynn booking a blood test!

A priest, a minister, an imam and a rabbit are waiting for a blood test. The rabbit says "I think I might be a type-O"!

That made me chuckle this morning!
 
6.1 this morning on finger prick. I have put my second free Libre on finally yesterday (the one they sent me as the first one misbehaved) - took me so long to get around to it that it's past expiry but I started it this morning and so far it's behaving well - said 5.9 when I got first reading on arrival at work and has gone up to 6ish with breakfast (scrambled eggs and coffee) and moving around at work.

@PattiEvans when my dad used to go out every evening and collect slugs he put them in an old margarine tub in the shed overnight, and in the morning I fed them to my bantams and our ducks, then when the fox got those we just got ducks to replace them. (Ducks were always more enthusiastic about the slugs than the bantams anyway). I just took the lid off the tub and left the tub in their run when I let them out of their house and fed them their duck pellets in the morning, then the tub was recovered later in the day when they had eaten them all.
 
Woo hoo! A surprise 5.2 today for me!

Maybe my BG is aware of my DSN phone appointment later today!

None of the promised rain or thunderstorms yet, although it is currently really dark and threatening at the moment. No plans for today other than a bit of tidying and cleaning around the house. Not fixed a day for the locks this week, might wait and see how the weather goes!

Take care everyone!
