Group 7-day waking average?

AJLang said:
12.1 this morning and I haven't eaten since yesterday lunchtime. Combination of gastroparesis not liking lunch and going 48 hours without changing the cannula. Just when I've got diabetes clinic tomorrow🙄

Good luck to you both today 🙂

I was 7.3 this morning, waking numbers do seem to be creeping up. I was 4.7 before bed though, so had something to eat to stave off one of those potential 'weird' hypos, perhaps I overcompensated 🙄
 
Good morning 5.3 today and a frankly delightful night of glorious sleep 🙂

Northerner, could your 7s be mini rebounds if "those" nights are returning? Or is the fairy just playing silly beggars 🙄

Good luck Pete and AJ, hope the medical folk prove helpful 🙂

Good to hear you got some sleep KC! 🙂 I think you might have stolen my quota though! Had a fitfl night, but no sensations of hypo, so I don't think it's that, might be to do with the seasons changing - sounds silly, but I think the increasing length of days affects me in quite a striking way 🙂
 
Good morning everyone 6.7 here today.
Sending good wishes to Pete AJ and Spiritfree for your appointments today 🙂

Well you'll be fine tonight, you can have the sleep. I haven't had two nights good sleep for well over a year no reason to hog it now :D. It's snowing here so no seasonal shift to deal with just yet but I'm sure it'll have an impact when it arrives, everything else does so why not. I choose to see it as a nice sign of impending lack of hypothermia 😉
 
Morning folks.🙂 5.1 here.😛

Snowing, Kcat?! Glad to hear good nights of sleep were had - long may they continue. 🙂

Hope it's just a gltch, Northener, and you don't have to start meddling with Lantus again. 🙄
 
Good morning 🙂 5.1 for me after a double dip hypo at 2am and 3am, really loving diabetes at the moment 🙄

I hope you get some good help at your clinic appointments Pete and AJ 🙂

Well just got back from doctors, put me on 5mg Trajenta to go with the gliclazide, and 1.25mg of ramipril for blood pressure, took in a food diary which he was not to impressed with ( not eating enough during day but to much at night ) so see were we go from here.. Best take that Trajenta after evening meal ?

Hope you start seeing some improvements soon Pete 🙂 This page has some good information about trajenta (linagliptin) - says you can take it once a day, any time:

Oh my, that advice again 😱 I would recommend that, whatever meals you settle on, you test regularly both before and after to determine if you can tolerate the chosen food. No point in upping your meds if increasing your carbs is just going to erase any benefits! 🙄
