Group 7-day waking average?

07:43 BS 9.2 o_O That’ll will be the under bolused midnight meal I ate just before going to bed! In getting up so late yesterday I thought I could get away with just eating twice, about 13:45 & 18:45, but, couldn’t sleep as tummy was rumbling a bit so, when midnight Levemir went in I bunged in some Novorapid as well & ate BS was 7.2 & had 20 units for some prawn cocktail & some oatcakes with smooth peanut butter & went to sleep straight after! I think it’s the peanut butter that’s kept me high as, in hindsight, PB is slow releasing carbs I’ve used before in the past when BS is liable to sudden big drops when I have one of my few menopausal cycles!🙄 A bit of a Duh! moment!😳

A bit earlier, of late, Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS:- Going to have an omelette for breakfast with half dose just for the fruit juice as I don’t need any, if much, for the omelette! AND in making my omelette yesterday for a very late lunch, 18:45, I FINALLY managed to keep it in one piece like an omelette is supposed to be! In your wondering, I’m notoriously BAD at making omelettes & they’re more like a cross between a Chinese Foo Yong & a Spanish frittata: can never turn it in one piece; been practicing for a while now & got it turned successfully on a lower heat cooked for longer!🙄:D😛😎😉
 
Another 7.6 today. Think I will head home today as hubby back to work tomorrow and very quiet down here. Bad weather coming which the dog won’t like so will be better at home, let’s hope the building work next door has finished. Managed to get a couple of Christmas presents yesterday for the grandchildren which is good.
Well done on the HS @Kaylz .
Have a good day x

I don’t turn my omelettes/frittatas. I finish cooking it under the grill. Then put a plate on top of the pan and turn it out. Works a treat.
 
Morning all, 5.9 here after another bumpy night, had pizza last evening, forgot we’d eaten a bit later, so saw BG rising and did a further one unit to cover some strawberries. I reduced basal by one unit, (which is 25% for me) to allow for yesterday’s exercise (another long walk). Woke at 1am on 2.9, had two jelly babies then raided the kitchen for two Jaffa cakes. Looking at this mornings trace, that spiked me to around 9, then I continued dropping like a stone til I levelled off in the 5s around 4am, even though I'd consumed 30g carb with very little insulin on board.
 
Morning all, late on parade with a 5.8.
Off to ride on a miniature railway this morning as it is grandson's 4th birthday tomorrow!
Well done @Kaylz on your HS

Blessings Snowwy

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

6.1 this morning - best it's been since diagnosis!
 
Last night I just could not resist a beautiful can of the black nectar of the gods - Coke, First time in almost a year. It was fantastic 😉. So it's a 5.6 this morning, all things considered not too bad. Now back to the being good grind 🙂.
 
@Anitram & @HenryBennett , this reminds me of a very funny youtube video @Northerner once posted where a lady had attached a squeaky cuddly toy to the back of her car as a parking sensor that squeaked away when she was parking so, she knew when to stop reversing! 😱:D😎 I’ll have a wee look & see if I can find it on the forum somewhere?🙄

Edited to add:- Had a look for youtube & found this video!

So yesterday was a bit odd.
Just before lunch time I was feeling a bit rubbish but this is normal for me when my BG is a bit high so went out with the dog for a bit. I noticed that my mood wasn't improving and every time she pulled at the lead to stop and sniff something (she's a beagle so that's every 3 feet) I was getting more and more annoyed until the point where I was ready to toss her into a bush. Tested my BG when I got home and I was down at 5.0. Had a good lunch with bolus and immediately felt better when the first mouthful went in so I'm pretty sure I was starting to hypo. That's exactly how I used to feel when I had hypos in my 20s.

But my sugars have been a bit wild since yesterday and I woke up at 11.7 today. I'll be cutting out my fresh orange juice and grapes today to see if that helps.
 
Good morning 9.3 don`t know either:confused: at 7.0 at the moment.🙂
Glorious sunshine and 25.C at the moment last day for a while,

Who turns an omelette - It‘s to be folded. Another option is to get some air into the eggs when you whisk them and when nearly cooked put the omelette pan under a hot grill and it puffs up. Yum.

Souffled under the grill every time for me!
 
4.9 for me this morning but only because I woke an hour and a half earlier heading low and had a couple of jelly babies.

I do my omelettes in the pan and cover for the last few minutes to cook the top and then fold in half as I slide it out of the pan onto the plate.

@Kaylz Congrats on your HS. You seem to be getting a few recently. Well done!
 
Aww! 😳 You’re all great with the omelette cooking ideas! 😛:D I suppose I’m just used to cooking the scrambled egg Chinese style foo yong: lots more vegetables but, you’d never get cheese in it; there’s so much mushrooms in mine that it’s very thick & chunky to turn over! I should have asked for tips MUCH earlier!🙄:D😉😎
 
@Lanny my favourite omelette at the moment is king prawn, mozzarella and spring onion, like the others it goes in the oven to finish off and then is folded on the plate xx
 
My favourite omelette is chorizo, onion and cheese, always finished under the grill so it puffs up
