Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

6.3
xx
 
Good morning. 8.4 for me. Had omelette last night with toast and bolused for the toast. Went down to a 4.1 but no hypo but then shot up to 12 overnight, had to have a correction at 3am. It seems i can't eat omelettes without a spike. Oh well, plenty more nice food.
Have a good day everyone
 
4.4 for me this morning. 🙂

A 4.5 this morning, but it was only 1 Mince pie 🙄, oh well it was tasty 🙂.
 
Morning all, 4.0 here, been crawling along the bottom of the Libre trace all night.
Had blood tests, foot tickling etc at the surgery yesterday, felt like royalty, patients aren’t allowed to touch anything, like door handles, so the HCP escorts you through the building opening all the doors for you.

I'm not sure how they are doing it up at our health centre apart from they squirt you with hand sanitizer when you go in, come the 16th my grandad will have been there 4 times in a month, he's getting fitted with a 24 hour BP monitor then, the c**p he puts away won't be helping his BP that's for sure but there's no telling an 88 year old xx
 
Morning all and 6.0 on the dot for me.

Might try and sort my tax out today. Had a letter saying I owe 133 which sounds about right but when I go online it says I owe nothing.

Have a good day everyone.
 
@Kaylz snap, a 6.3 for me today which I don’t understand as had quite a lot of carbs yesterday.
Dreadful abdominal pain yesterday and residual deep ache today, spent a good deal of the afternoon after work asleep, feel washed out. Hopefully today will be better.
@KARNAK what are you like, thank goodness you have a sense of humour x
Have a good day all x
 
6.5 this morning for me. I know that’s not a bad figure but it’s quite high for me considering I’ve been good. Perhaps it’s a combo of morning effect and maybe a glucose dump.

It is going to be a cold one today so I’ve flipped the heating on to all day as I intend to be toasty warm 🙂

Gotta love a quick tax return! I thought I’d done mine but checked with HMRC and turns out I haven’t. So I’ll do that either at the weekend or over Christmas. I’m hopeful that they’ll owe me money.

Sorry to hear this, hope today is a better day for you xx
 
Well my BG topped out at 11.6 at bedtime with my celeriac chips experiment although I think it was the protein in the steak which took me up the final few points and held me steady at that for a couple of hours after I went to sleep and then the usual slow steady descent to the red line which I just touched and then bounced back up a bit an hour and a half before the alarm went off, then dropped again, but woke before I hit the red line a second time so it is a 4.2 for me this morning which I will happily accept as no JBs involved. Interestingly I had a dream this morning which is a very rare occurrence these days as I have been sleeping like the dead recently and I am inclined to suspect the dream coincided with the rebound from the red line... it was a bit of a stressful one.

@SueEK So sorry to hear you were in such pain yesterday and have a residual ache today. Really hope your op sorts the problem and goes smoothly. I can't remember... do you have a date for it?

@Lanny I am guessing you are back to the daily exercise since you are needing less Levemir. Hope that is going well.

@Michael12421 Sorry to read you woke to another hypo. Did you get anywhere with asking for a half unit pen?
You do seem to get cycles with the low readings and I wonder if you can't get a half unit pen, whether reducing your Toujeo dose by one unit every 3-4 days and then putting it back up might work... so if you normally take 10 units for example (just plucking a figure out of the air here) try 10, 10 10, 9, 10, 10, 9 etc so that 2 days a week you have a slightly lower dose. With it being a long acting insulin, that might have a similar effect to a half unit reduction. Or perhaps you are already trying something like that anyway?
I guess you didn't get anywhere with the doc as regards trying a different basal insulin?
You are far better off being in the 8s-10s every morning than risking 2s and 3s.

Yep! That’s why my BS is tending to be low despite reducing insulin! JUST about managed to avoid another hypo 3 hours & 30 minutes after breakfast this morning with BS 4.9. Had some sips of orange juice & ate lunch very early: Just this minute dithering on the bolus after eating & will go ULTRA conservative! 😱 I’m still over doing the insulin!o_O Hopping on toes emoji!
 
Afternoon, I’ve had a lie in but still feel tired. 5.7 today. Felt a lot better yesterday, did some laundry, a quick hoover and a 20 minute walk. I even managed a bit of lippy! Managed to eat more calories too so weight steady. Onwards and upwards. Have a good day and wrap up it’s going to be chilly. 🙂

Hi folks been in the hospital all afternoon managed to get an Echo Blue out of the DSN (wasn`t that a paraffin?)
never mind the Doc sent me one too. Then the Endoscopy unit 😱 had it done 3 times before this time no problem,
couldn`t get the Endoscope past my Larynx tried 3 times never belched or farted so much let alone gagging in my
life, however he did give up in the end and said you have a blockage were your Larynx is we need to go further.

Booked in for another test a different kind the latest on the 16th but be available at any time please I do love fun,
the nurses where brilliant mainly because I had shorts on and amazing banter even the consultant smiled loudly.

Just one more hands up you are given your own nurse to stay with you during the whole time mine was called
Julius, so I thought a strapping lad from Italy Richard Burton look alike sorry @ColinUK nothing of the sorts.
He was smaller than meo_O smart, perfect English and was brought up/born in India so me saying Julius Caesar
must have been in your family history,😳 he said I get that all the time and I know I`m very dark skinned for an
Italian and I hate pasta. I do like the bollock Knees but prefer an Indian take away unless I make my own, I said
I`m sorry for mistaken you for an Italian he said no bother have you any more questions? I said only one can I
have a look at your Totem pole? handcuffs didn`t fit anyway.

Night Night.

Oh Ted! 😳
 
😛 a bit of lippy, @eggyg your spirits are picking up if you care enough to put some on! Sometimes I put a full face of make up on even though no one will see it being stuck in the house but, it makes me feel a bit more human which I need at times! 🙄:D😎😛😉
