Group 7-day waking average?

[Lanny]

08:33 BS 8.8 So so emoji! Battled high BS all yesterday & every time I ate up it went again so, further basal increases again today until I get it right: firefighting with bolus corrections; maybe no bad thing that my BS didn’t come down too fast judging by my fake hypo on Tuesday when too much bolus went in at once!😱

Eventually got my BS down to 7 just before going to bed 05:39 when it was 11’s before eating & rising to 16’s then 15’s & eventually to 10’s as I kept the same bolus instead of going down so, 40 units NR & midday basal was 62: needed to correct the first two after meals but the last one just fell into range without when I turned in around 05:30 with 7.0; long waits in between meals for the corrections. Midnight LR already went up to 44 & midday will go to 64 today & see how it goes? 🙄

Watched a lot of old Star trek Voyager episodes on Netlix yesterday, have all the Star Trek Next Generation, Deep Space 9 & Voyager on DVD’s anyway but, more convenient to watch my favourite, Voyager, on Netflix! 😛 It’ll be the same today.🙄

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

Congratulations again on another HS @ColinUK 😛😎

Morning all, 5.8 today. Don’t know how but I’m taking it! We had some lovely news last night, our youngest daughter, who is expecting her first baby, found out she is having a little girl. We really are a girly family, we have three daughters and we already have three granddaughters! We do have a grandson who, along with Grandad Eggy is, and going to be more so, vastly outnumbered! We don’t have to pay for their weddings too do we? Three weddings in the last four years has already financially and emotionally drained us! Have a great day everyone. 🙂

And @ColinUK have you checked your meter hasn’t stuck on 5.2? Just enquiring as mine sticks on the sixes on a regular basis! 😉 Begrudgingly happy for you whatever.

Checked the meter last week and it’s fine! I dunno why the DF has decided I’m worthy but I’m not complaining!

 

[ColinUK]

And @eggyg mazeltov on the new grandsprog! And yes you’re paying for all of the weddings

5.4 for me at 05:56 this morning. It was a gorgeous sunny day first thing after the very stormy evening yesterday but has clouded over now I' in the (home) office

Pleased to report I'm back on track this morning with a 5.7, but like @Lanny I was high all day yesterday and you would think I was injecting water not insulin in my correction jabs. Just stayed stubbornly up above 8 and as high as 13 at one stage despite 2 units here and 3 units there. Very frustrating! Lets hope I can keep things on the straight and narrow today.
Got myself all dressed up for Armistice day. My sister gave me a lovely British legion poppy scarf and I wore it with a dress and heels to stand on my doorstep at 11am. It was weird to be dressed up. Haven't worn anything other than work clothes, running gear or PJs since my birthday in February and I think I wore trousers that day so it might be New Years Day since I had a dress on. I had to try to remember how to walk in heels.... for the few short steps across the threshold.....
.... then a quick change back into my work clothes again.

@ColinUK You are so jammy! Bet you can't get another tomorrow and make it a second HS hattrick!

Thought as much!

That was me on Tuesday at my auntie’s funeral. I wore a dress and tights, evil things that they are, so uncomfortable. I’ve lived in leggings, walking trews and occasionally jeans if I’m going shopping ( like today). Birkenstocks, trainers, Converse and walking boots are my footwear of choice and have been since I retired three years ago. I struggle in heels now, never thought I’d see the day, I wore heels everyday of my working life, they did get lower as the years went on though!

@rebrascora I don't do dresses really, last time I had one on was 2016 and I look god awful! It was only 4 months before I was diagnosed though, This was for Bruce's nieces christening


Also don't do heels often either, last time I was hypo and had to walk down the stairs, not easy lol
xx

 

[rebrascora]

@eggyg.... I am sure you also got dressed up for a certain wedding which took place recently too... I think there was photographic evidence, so that is at least 2 occasions you scrubbed up in recent weeks!
It is all too easy to get comfy in those everyday clothes. I can see why the likes of Katherine Jenkins was getting dressed up during the first lockdown. It did pick my spirits up a bit to feel clean and smart even if there was no one there to see me.... even wearing the dreaded tights!

 

[miguel81]

@Kaylz . You don't look 'awful' at all.

 

[Kaylz]

@Kaylz . You don't look 'awful' at all.

Thanks Michael 🙂 I do have a bit more meat on my bones these days although not too much more lol, maybe there will come a day I need to wear a dress again but hopefully I'll feel better about myself when that time comes 🙂 xx

 

[Paulbreen]

A nice 5.9 today

 

[rebrascora]

@Kaylz. Actually I think the dress looks lovely and you have such a great figure for it but you don't look entirely at ease in it, which is a shame.
I have always loved dresses and skirts right from being a child, even though I was a tomboy... and probably still am.
They are just not practical for my lifestyle although I do have a mid length brown corduroy skirt which has been worn with wellies to muck out the stables once and I have teetered into the stables in high heels on occasion on my way home after a night out to check on the horses and drop them some more haylage in.
Always fancied myself as a bit of a Calamity Jane!

@Anitram. I am lucky here as all waste is collected from outside my front door 362 days a year at 9.30 pm.

Good morning team🙂

I woke up on 3.8 (Libre) and 4.4 BG. No great panic, then.

Yesterday was fun. Made a seamless switch from steam driven Humalog to Fiasp. That's MDI, using prefilled pens. The pen is one of those where you wind up the dose, bung the needle into an available bit of flesh, and just gently press the red button at the top, and in shoots the dose. My right flexor pollicis longus will start wasting away after 25 years of manually pressing the tops on insulin pens.

It does what it says on the tin, as well. Works very quickly, so no more calculating pre bolus times, then finding you forgot to turn the oven on. ( Don't snigger, bet we've all done that.) It will be interesting to see whether this quick effect is maintained in the long term. Can't think why it shouldn't. No reaction at the injection site, but then I'm not one for doing side effects. I'll have to slightly adjust bolus injections, it doesn't seem to be an exact 1:1 relationship with Humalog, but then I've been on Humalog for a couple of decades , so I think the relationship had lost its sparkle.

On the subject of sparkle, I'm getting persistent emails from Vodafone trying to get me to upgrade to an iPhone 12 Pro. The difference between a Pro and the standard iPhone 12 is the addition of a telephoto lens. so I could maintain a covid safe distance when spying on the neighbours. There is, apparently, a Pro Max, which has a bigger screen, but it's ridiculously big. Of course, this is all about 5G, The day 5G comes to the Ribble Valley, you'll hear me shouting from my coffin. "I've got a signal!!". They say you can download a Movie in a couple of minutes using 5G, but that's not actually true. The phone might be capable but Netflix can't necessarily deliver it that fast. Anyway, who wants to watch the latest Bond movie on a phone? Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it's sensible. Bit like unicycling.

Anyway, have a good day folks🙂

Now I'm just off to ring Vodafone...🙄

@rebrascora I do have slightly more meat on the bones these days but not too much more so it may look better nowadays, I just felt dreadful back then so probably why I don't look comfortable, maybe one day lol xx

Yes you’re right, just less than four weeks ago, that’s three times this year I’ve had a dress on. Two funerals and a wedding! Is that a film? 😉

@rebrascora our eldest daughter and her family are farmers, a dozen horses, numerous sheep and cows, chickens, cats and six dogs. My two youngest granddaughters love dressing up and love helping out on the farm. This is our Sadie, she’s almost three wearing her flower girl dress from our youngest daughter’s wedding last year.

Love it! Might as well get some wear out of it. Not much in the way of parties happening at the moment.
Just hope for your daughter's sake it's not "hand wash only"!

And here is our Poppy a couple of years ago when she was six, this got in the Farmers Guardian.
