Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone and have a good day. Whopping 8.8 for me, but know why. For no other reason than I didn't stop, I scoffed loads of jelly babies last night ( even the dreaded green blighters)haven't had a sweetie scoff since diagnosis in November, and bought jb's as BG has been less than 4 twice recently with shakeys etc. Maybe have to buy glucotabs instead or something.

I've been awol again recently sorry guys! Been so busy at uni and had a three hour exam this morning. Luckily it's over with now. Now I have time to relax until my next placement starts on a specialised dementia assessment hospital ward which I'm really looking forward to!

Anyway, my waking averages are going up and up. About two weeks ago they were around 12/13 yet since last Friday my waking results were 16/17. My usual bed time reading is roughly 22... Been testing my urine ketones and they're only + so don't need to worry about that.

Had docs yesterday but gp admitted she doesn't deal with diabetes but the Leeds CCG suggests if triple therapy isn't working then the next step is insulin regardless of what triple therapy I've tried. There's a GP at the surgery that DOES deal With diabetes so I've got to go back tomorrow and see him! Will keep you all informed

Good luck with gp, exam and new placement.

I've been worrying about you Rosie! 😱 Thank goodness that they have finally recognised that your medication is having little or no effect - and especially that they are not making you wait the ludicrous 6 months on the sitagliptin before taking the next step! I hope that you can finally get to speak to someone who can offer some proper help and treat you as an individual instead of ticking things off on a box. Insulin will work, so I hope that is the next step. I know it might be a bit scary, but you will feel soooo much better when your levels are under better control. I have MASSIVE admiration for the way you have tried to remain positive throughout all this, and coping with a very demanding job and study schedule {{{HUGS}}} Hope this is a turning point for you, that you do well in your exams, and can throw yourself into the job you love wholeheartedly, without these health worries hanging over you 🙂

6.1 for me today 🙂 Slept in a bit this morning - hope I'm not sickening for something, feeling very weary :( Also, just had complete brain-fade whilst doing my morning injection - think I might have done it on auto-pilot then began to do it again and couldn't remember if I'd already done it. Pen was no help, as it only showed the airshot I'd just done before stopping and thinking 'haven't I done this already?' 😱 Decided not to double up, will see what happens! 😱
 
Good morning! 5.1 for me today.
 
Morning 🙂 4.0 today.

Good to hear from you Rosie, what an ongoing battle you've had. I really do hope you get somewhere today with medication that will sort out your bg levels. Here's hoping 🙂
Groundhog day/brain fade is not good when insulin is involved Northerner, 😱 very wise to hold back from the potential 2nd injection! Hope the 1st injection did happen 🙂
 
Morning all. Hope the Dr's can finally get you sorted out Rosie. A better 8.5 for me today. Ive not had any double figures since the weekend, so fingers crossed I stay that way! My Dr has refered me to a 12 week weight management course after me having a mini breakdown in the surgery last week over my weight issues! It starts on the 7th July. Lets see if they have had any diabetics before and see what they suggest!
 
Morning all and good to hear from you Rosie. Let's hope that doctor is more useful. I am rubbish at posting on here, especially when my numbers are rubbish, so am once again determined to start doing this in the hope of some improvement. Reason I started today? Simple, had a 6.8 which is lower than it has been for ages, despite almost doubling my basal.
Happy Thursday one and all
 
Good morning all 🙂 and pleased with a 6.2 today. Started a pre holiday blitz to get all numbers down!
Good luck today Rosie. It's well time you were given the help you need.
Hope the BGs improve Steph. Keep posting them and they will hopefully stay low! 🙂
 
A 6.1 for me this good morn which is retinal screening and foot tickle day.

Know exactly how you feel northerner...I go into dream mode just taking meds and can't recall if I've had them 🙄

Nicer numbers Stitch...like that old game show, Play your cards right says, 'Lower, Lower, lower!' 🙂

There's a lot of talk about gut bacteria around, I wonder if your operation upset the balance in your body and that's what's causing the increase in insulin requirements? Hope things settle down to some sort of normality soon Steph 🙂

There's no bingeing on GlucoTabs! They smell like a lavatory and are like eating a stick of chalk...bleurrrghch!😛

So what happened?!

I did something similar the other day - got part way through injection and thought "That seems like a lot of insulin for the 3.5 units I was supposed to be having for my lunch, maybe I dialed up 5.5 units (my usual breakfast dose) instead" 😱 Stopped injecting and pen said .5 units. So had I had 3 units or 5?! I ate for 4 and expected a hypo all afternoon. I didn't get one, but I don't know whether it was because I'd had 3 units or because I was just a bit stressed!

This happened 🙂

Somewhere between 5.9 and 6.1 for me this morning 🙂
 
Hello all, 7.5 for me this morning. Went to bed on a 6.3.
 
Morning all. Yay its friday!!! And an 8.7 for me today. Havent seen any double figures for almost a week now.
 
A 6.2 for me this morning.

I'm so liking that you're not seeing double at the moment stitch! 🙂🙂
 
Any way up, 6.9 this morning. Not bad seeing as I miscalculated a meal out last night & went to bed on a 12.0 o_O
 
Morning all!🙂 5.6 this morning. No more silly experiments today. I blame the wife. Yesterday she sat in front of me stuffing her face with a gooey Danish pastry. This made me crave something sweet & while at the post office, just picked up a Mars bar, which was incredibly sickly after not eating one in over 6 months.😱
 
19.4 for me this morning! Was meant to be the doctor yesterday but he was called out on an emergency so third time lucky today eh!!
