Group 7-day waking average?

I see others are using 10mmol for their upper limit so if I change my upper limit to match the others its
10.1-13.3 - 3%
3.9-10 (Target Range) - 93%
<3.9 - 4%

Well done you! Amazing control.

I find mine is better during school holidays. The problem for me is the activity level for my job is unpredictable. I can have on my timetable that i will be sitting working with groups or 1:1 all afternoon so plan for that insulin wise, then am told i need to do displays or first aid and i'm more active so go low. Other times, i think i'm going to be active then am not so end up going high. I can't win 🙄
 
Great results ev1! 🙂

What I’m trying to say though is, in my case, I don’t see how Time in Target can be an accurate representation of my control when the sensor consistently reads lower than a finger prick. 🙂

Same here @freesia - when I was teaching, I could go high if I had a fun class or if I had a stressful class...or low if the DF was around. It was impossible to predict my BG!😱
 
5.6 for me this morning. Have a great weekend D chums.
 
Morning all.

Tough day yesterday with a mini-hypo (3.6) just before lunch.
Quickly recovered from that. Had dinner and about an hour and a half later felt absolutely rubbish. Thought my BG would be high as it normally is after a big meal and was about to go for a walk. Then I realised my hands were starting to shake. Rushed to do a BG test. Fumbled the strip into the meter at the 4th attempt and drew blood after the 5th attempt. Then I struggled to get the blood into the capillary port on the strip. Finally managed to get it onto the strip and got a reading of 3.1. 5 glucose tablets and 15 mins later I was still 4.0 so had 150ml of fresh orange juice which did the trick. Lesson learned that I'm capable of pulling a hypo even after a large meal. If I'd gone out for a walk without testing I'd have been in real trouble. The strange thing was that my exercise and food regime was exactly the same as every other day. Yesterday my body just decided to play silly buggers.

Did I let that ruin sticky toffee pudding and custard night? No, I certainly didn't. Took 14 units of insulin just as I started eating. In the words of Eddie Izzard - cake or death.

Woke up to a 5.0 this morning. A little shaky and a bit of a headache from another night of broken sleep due to ongoing neuropathy but otherwise all is good.

Have a nice day folks.
 
Morning

Morning all. “ I come to you on the day of my daughter’s wedding” film buffs will of course know that’s my version of Marlon Brando’s famous line in The Godfather! 6.2 on this momentous occasion. Lancashire officially in Tier 3 so no proper wedding reception but we can have a meal in the restaurant as long as each household books their own table and it’s the bar menu. They’ve refunded the money we had paid for the meal and we have to pay separately now. Just covering their backs I suppose. Basically it’s three families having a meal in a hotel restaurant. The hotel is gorgeous and the staff are really helpful and want us to have a good time. Which we will. 🙂
 
4.6 for me this morning. 🙂
Hope everything goes ok for your wedding @eggyg

Morning everyone. After three hypos yesterday, i've woke to a 7.8. I'll take that.

@Bloden , i'm glad i'm not the only one who has struggled to predict levels in school. My DN is nice but i always feel like a failure if i have hypos as i get questioned on them.
@eggyg i hope your daughters wedding goes well. Have a lovely day and i look forward to reading about it.

Have a good Saturday everyone, whatever you are doing
 
@eggyg have a lovely day, hope all goes well and a photo tomorrow would be great if poss.
@Michael12421 good to see you back, hope you are ok.
@Baz. good to hear from you again and hope all is well with you.
6.6 for me today. Am risking a trip into Brighton with my friend, don’t really want to go but needs must. I have only ever gone into town about twice a year and this year I’m less keen than ever. Mask and sanitizer will be my essentials.
Have a good day all x
