Group 7-day waking average?

@freesia I meant to reply to you last night but pages kept becoming unresponsive 🙄 I thought I messaged you to let you know Aldi emailed me the nutrition for the Moser Roth but I must be wrong, Sorry! I did mean to! But thanks for the pics 🙂 xx
 
Morning all, 8.5 for me today. Last day of holiday back to the madhouse tomorrow.
 
08:33 BS 6.6. My BS was swinging a bit yesterday too & will be swinging for a while until I get a bit fitter & the little exercise stops having SUCH a big effect. o_O But, heart isn’t going as high nor taking as long to recover so, I can FEEL the difference of pending hypo faster heart rate much more clearly now: just as well as I ended up with heading off another one with 4.6 after dinner despite reducing bolus; at this rate, will probably need to reduce basal too, at least the midday one if not midnight?🙄
Also, it was shopping delivery day & putting the shopping away each week IS exercise as well, as denoted by my heart rate, so, I had 2 lots yesterday & boy did I feel it: in hindsight but, my heart recovered faster the 2nd time! I had a MASSIVE late lunch around 15:30, after the shopping, of half a bag of tesco beansprouts, a quarter punnet of a family pack of mushrooms, 250g of beef mince, always order the 750g 5% lean one with substitutions on, & got 2 500g of 20% fat instead which is VERY greasy but, than none at all & a pack of broccoli rice in oyster sauce! Have had to stick substitutions back on for shopping or I might get NOTHING at all as the panic buying is setting in again! 🙄 It was almost double the amount that I usually eat for lunch it only JUST fitted into my big bowl/dish as I don’t thicken sauces with cornflour anymore: why add carbs unnecessarily to a low carb meal; the only carbs from the oyster sauce but, I do like it! Have switched from pork to beef as the flavours go together much better: it’s always beef in oyster sauce, not pork, on Chinese menus! Had virtually the same meal for dinner without the oyster sauce of diced chicken mini fillets, or chicken oysters as I learnt from the film Amelie, being moister than breast, onions, mushrooms, broccoli rice with 1 cube of chicken oxo crumbled in & I over bolused because I forgot about reducing the dose, too, for NO oyster sauce: I need to add a bit of extra bolus for the sweetness in oyster sauce; with my low carb meals these days, all I need to bolus for is my drinks, latte in the morning, diluted fruit syrup or diluted fruit juice, & oyster sauce if using any! So, the combo of low carb meals & the exercise now means quite a sizeable bolus reduction!🙂😛😎😉

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

I hope my day is less swingy & I can avoid the 4’s?🙄 In fact, I think I WILL try a -2 reduction of midday Levemir & see what happens?🙄
 
A 5.6 for me at 06:02 on a beautiful, clear and crisp morning in West Berkshire. Had to scrape the ice of the car for the school run this morning.

Does anyone else find that they stand there wondering why their phone will not unlock with face id before realising that you're wearing a mask or is it just me? I had to go into town yesterday for an optician's appointment and did it several times!
 
Well done on another HS @Anitram
Very Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs @Snowwy
No reading today, no time this morning to warm my fingertips up lol 😳
 
5.4 this morning for me but only engineered by 2 dextrose tablets at 5am when I woke up of 4.4 and that was despite reducing my Levemir by half a unit down to 3.5 last night and doing a bit less exercise yesterday and eating late but at least it was a low carb meal.
Having a trip out today to visit my sister before lockdown and collect some timber that was used during building work at her place recently. This is my first trip out since before the first lockdown apart from food shopping locally, so quite exciting and a bit daunting, especially with a horse trailer on the back, going through Durham. Don't mind country lanes but built up areas with lots of traffic make me anxious when I have the trailer. Wish me luck!

@Michael12421 Please consider reducing the Toujeo by another unit or make sure you go to bed with a higher BG reading.

@Anitram. Can't believe you got another one! Might end up in a run off between you, Colin and Dez for HS Champion this year. We need @Hazel back to represent us girlies since the rest of us are clearly lacking in ability.... although @Kaylz has had a few this year if I remember correctly.

@Snowwy I hope you and Mrs S have a lovely day. Congratulations on your Anniversary.

Ah no problem. You probably did, my memory is like a sieve atm!!x
 
Pablo came to my house this morning with my car keys following the repairs after the vandalism - he has parked it outside of the police station bless him He tells me that the number of Covid cases in this small village has soared, including 7 members of his family!
I had to go to the pharmacy and unashamedly stocked up on insulin. The pharmacist told me that there are 70 cases in the village. Lockdown looms.
 
@rebrascora indeed I have, I'm now intrigued as to how many though so I'll check back my log book when I'm filling it out later

@freesia glad I'm not the only one a bit forgetful just now! xx
 
7.6 @ 9.56am We've been dropping stuff off at the charity shops too, no worries, and buying more stuff which is ridiculous.
 
22:37 BS 8.4. Umm! Conked out right after eating dinner that was bolused for exactly 4 hours & 33 minutes ago, looked at Timesulin cap right before testing! I need EVEN more reductions as I was still 4.7 before lunch & stepped up the bolus reduction to -4 & -2 for midday Levemir with before dinner at a better 5.1! Knew I was going to conk out from exhaustion, didn’t fight it, -6 reduction on the safe side, ate & out like a light, more or less, straight after eating! BUT, my BS didn’t swing at all just going steadily down after walk & breakfast with heart rate only up to 98 & back down to 84 in about 30 minutes! I think midnight Levemir needs -2 reduction too as I was still in the 4’s after -4 bolus for breakfast, peaking at 12:22 BS 7.5 at 1 hour 39 minutes after insulin, down to 12:55 BS 6.2 & 13:57 BS 4.7 with -4 bolus again for lunch, actually dithered with -6 & pushed in another 2 while needle was still in: after lunch 16:12 BS 6.8 & before dinner with -6 bolus at 14 units of Novorapid 17:13 BS 5.1 & slept not knowing what I peaked at but, woke a bit high. I’d say boluses at 24, 20 & 16 & midday basal of 58 is ok: just the still at 40 midnight basal bringing me too low before lunch; will reduce it to 38 at midnight, later? 🙄 I felt the difference in my heart rate of 90 when I had the BS 4.7: don’t what my resting rate fell to after breakfast as I didn’t test but, last month when resting rate was still around 94 I didn’t feel that; my meter told me last month & this time it merely confirmed it!🙂

Well, my sleeping pattern will be off now or, maybe not as 5 minutes of walking is still tiring me out but, things are definitely moving in the right direction on all fronts & pretty quickly too: faster effect than I expected; gone from boluses of 32, 28 & 24 on Monday to 24, 20 & 14 today!o_O:D😎😉
