Group 7-day waking average?

Thanks guys, I think he's calling the SSPCA for advice

I think his problem is he googled it and there was a guy in our county died from rabies caught from a bat in 2002, his dads on his way apparently xx

Easy way to check if he’s got it... just suggest going swimming and see if he runs screaming!
 
Well the SSPCA called him back and told him they weren't sending anyone out, to catch it in a box and put it out tonight but of course his dad said lets do it another way and they have put it out the window now xx

I woke up once to 3 bats circling around the room. I flung the windows open wide to let them find their way out. I'd forgotten that the bedroom door was open and suddenly the cat came in and started flying through the air trying to catch them. I had to quickly close the windows in case she flew out, then chase her out and close the door. A few minutes after I re-opened the window the bats managed to find their way out.What a night!! 😱

Sounds like quite a night! lol, we did say if Bubbles had still been down there rather than being here he wouldn't have had the bat long! 😱 xx

Morning all. 8.7 for me this morning, despite having a correction before i went to bed.

@Kaylz , as @Robin says check Bat Conservation or RSPCA. Hopefully its a lone bat and theres not a nest as they are protected x
@Bexlee have a good day tomorrow x
Have a good day everyone

Thanks @freesia, the old nerves are settling in now. Feel like a new teacher starting the 1st job 20 odd years ago Haven’t actually taught a lesson in front of kids since March 16th! I’m sure it’ll be fine after 5 minutes.
 
Well not 5.2 today but a 4.2.....

Enjoyed the F1 😎 for any other enjoyers of F1 and am already looking forward to next weekends from Mugello
 
05:41 BS 12.0 :( I started coughing yesterday so, I’m a bit under the weather but, not very ill either. Throat is just a bit dry first thing when awake & a dry cough the odd time. Insulin doses had to go up even more: midnight Levemir I put up to 56 & midday, see how it goes, maybe 76? I started yesterday on 40 units of Novorapid & kept going up until 48 units for my last meal about 90 minutes ago & BS is still a bit high. So, I‘ll start on 50 later today? I had to order more insulin anyway so, I mentioned the cough & BS ranges & the doses of insulin that I’ll try today. I also asked about flu vaccines this year & they can send me a letter or call me if there’s any word on it. I’ve been testing my ketones &, so far, there hasn’t been any. BS is not too bad between meals but, once I eat the BS can go quite high, 15.0 was the highest! I have to wait longer in between meals to get the corrections in & BS to drop close to range before I eat again.🙄

I just bunged in +4 correction & test again before getting some sleep!🙄

An early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

I have a feeling that this Winter will be another tough one for me in the aftermath of covid in May!😱

BUT, I’ll have you lot to help cheer me up when it gets tough AND to moan to, I hope not TOO often, when it gets a bit much!🙄
 
It was 5.4 when I went to bed last night and 5.5 this morning.

Have a good week everyone. Blue Monday.
 
Good morning. Wait for it - 15.7!
Yesterday morning I decided to inject my Toujeo into the top of my left buttock rather than the usual right. I am right-handed because my left hand doesn't work so I had to reach across to inject. When I removed the pen I noticed that the needle was at 90 degrees and dripping liquid. Could not decide whether I had injected and damaged the needle upon withdrawal or not
so decided to leave things as they were. Wrong decision.

You did the right thing as it’s hard to tell when that happens & it’s happened to me before. You don’t know how much, if any, insulin went in! o_O

It feels daunting at first but having been back with the children for 2 days, it feels like i've not been off! Have a good day x
 
Morning all. Its a 7.3 for me this morning with a downward trend. Have a good day everyone x
 
Morning

Well hopefully today is calmer than yesterday was! BG all over the place and think it was due to the early adrenaline boost having to chase and catch Bubbles!

Was scouring the net last night and while I’m not vegan they have a good few confectionary ranges that are considerably lower carb than your everyday stuff, just a shame they are so expensive, I’ll be asking for gift vouchers to try some though! lol

Text my dad yesterday and he's saying his op was cancelled for a 3rd time with no explanation as to why, they must think I was born yesterday! Definitely something fishy going on with the whole story

@Gruers fingers crossed for you, hope all goes well

Anyways its a 5.5 for me today

Last weeks stats are
Waking Average – 5.3
Total Insulin – 188U
Bolus Total – 62U
Basal Total – 126U

Have a nice day folks
xx
