Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all and well done @eggyg and @MeeTooTeeTwo . I’ve got a whopping 10.2 and no idea where it has come from. Had one piece of toast at 5pm and nothing else as went to Glowild last night, very good and all I had was a cup of coffee?? I have got a painful hip from driving to London and back Thursday but can’t work it out.
We have carol singing in our street tonight, socially distanced of course but hope that will be fun.
Have a good weekend everyone x
 
@eggyg and @MeeTooTeeTwo congratulations on the HS.
After having no hypos for 3 weeks, i suddenly had 3 in 24hours at work. I'm blaming it on the increased activity as we all get ready for Christmas. Then overnight, i woke to a 13.3!! Wherr did that come from?! I didn't want to do my usual correction dose just in case i went hypo overnight so only had half but woke to an 8.3 this morning.
Have a good Saturday everyone. Mine will be spent cleaning and wrapping presents
 
Morning All a 6.8 from me today. A semi quiet day planned. Will go and collect a Christmas tree later but Hubby will decorate it I haven’t the patience! One more week @freesia we can make it ! Have a good day all.
 
4.9 for me this morning but it took 2 bedside Hypo Heros through the night to get me there (woke up on a 3.6)
To make matters worse, my Libre came loose in the shower last night with 6 days to go. Tried to hold it on until I could get the area dried and taped in place and it was still reading at that point but when I let go of it to tear some Micropore off the role it came away again and the filament must have dislodged. Taped it back on anyway but it started reading progressively lower and then "reading unavailable". I normally tape it when I get in the shower for the last few days of it's life but I thought it would be reasonably tight still with 6 days left. I haven't got a replacement, as my prescription wasn't able to be reordered until Wed gone and it takes 5 working days to be dispensed. Not happy about being without when I am having regular night time hypos but at least now I am on my own at night I can just switch the light on and test in bed rather than going into another room to test.... every cloud has a silver lining! Will ring Abbott but even if they replace it, it won't be here before I get my prescription. Just as well I have plenty of test strips.

I need to head out in search of chicken livers today to make some chicken liver, port and pistachio pate for my brother in law's birthday tomorrow. I am making him a little hamper of favourite foods. Got a nice pot of Stilton and a bottle of Famous Grouse and a jar of asparagus and some chocolates to go with the pate... fingers crossed I can source some without doing too much of a treasure hunt.

WOW! @eggyg Are you on a roll or what! Go girl! Congrats again.

@MeeTooTeeTwo What can I say Dez.... Really!!..... Another one! Well done mate!
I sometimes wonder if perhaps a 5.2 is a bit of a disappointment for you considering you get so many high 4s and obviously you don't have to worry about dropping too low so in some respects your House Specials are actually probably less good than most of your other results..... Not wanting to take the shine off your achievement or anything 😉... just saying!

Hope everyone has a good weekend
 
09:48 BS 6.6 🙂 Very happy with that AND I felt the difference upon waking: my cold is gone!:D
I slept in & had a night of many dreams: means I slept deeply; for once, was also prompt to jab in midnight LR when alarm went off & straight back to sleep! 😛😎😉 I’ll keep an eye on things in case I may go lower as I didn’t dial back the basal yet & dial it back at midday?🙄

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

I’m feeling bright eyed & bushy tailed; a fresh, new, bouncing duracell bunny that’s raring to go but, needs some breakfast to keep my battery levels topped up! :D😛😎😉

Oh! 😳 Nearly forgot! Congratulations on your House Specials @eggyg : thought with pleasure “another one so soon & she’s definitely on the mend”; & @MeeTooTeeTwo !😛😎:D😉

PS:- my 6.6 this morning FEELS like a Lanny Bunny Special after the past few days of 9’s & 8’s: I’ve often said it’s Snakes & Ladders this numbers malarkey! 🙄:D
 
4.5 which has been the norm over the last few mornings so getting better after 3 weeks on the meds.
 
4.3 this morning. Happy as it was level and this sensor is reading a bit low.

A morning in the garden whilst the sun is out, then lots of stuff to sew for Christmas presents.
Keeping myself occupied rather than stressing over pump start on Monday. I have done all that I need to do, now it is just wait.

Have a good day .
 
@Lanny So pleased you are in Duracell bunny mode. That did put a smile on my face. Hope you have a great day!

Pleased to report Abbott are sending me a replacement. Customer services are very good even if it is being outsourced.
Out of curiosity, is it possible to re-prime the applicator if one comes off and reapply it and tape over it to keep it in place? It seemed last night that there was quite a long period of delay before the sensor shut down, where reapplication might be possible within that time period if you could get it back into the applicator.

@Inamuddle Hope you have a lovely walk in the sunshine. Dull and damp here, but at least it's not lashing down or blowing a hooley so I'll take the positives.
 
Actually I dialled back my breakfast NR by 2 units as I can’t change the basal that’s already in & just put in midday LR -2 when Timesulin cap was bang on 90 minutes after breakfast 12:12 BS 10.1 which I’m ok on as I don’t need to monitor so closely now with the little overlap of LR AND I’m playing the final round of virtual golf tournament that I qualified for! :D😛😎😉
 
Very quiet, dark, cosy inside day today. 6.5 @ 11.46am ... I woke at 4 gone, had a very piggy breakfast and watched two episodes of Big Love about the polygamists and then dozed back off again... I don't know how I'm even in the 6s... maybe soared and back down with a bump? Stupid. :(

@Inamuddle I used to think that everyone seemed to have perfect results when I first joined this thread, I think partly because there are quite a few Type 2s who have got things under control and it is trickier for those of us using insulin because we have to manage our BG levels in 2 directions, but if you stick around and get to know us you will realise that many of us are struggling.... sometimes it is rather intermittent... so we look like we are doing great and then things go haywire. I used to stop posting when I got great high results because I felt like they didn't fit in to the thread but that was just being dishonest. Now I post good and bad and why I think it went wrong and what I plan to do to try to improve it.

Getting out into the garden was a great idea. I too sometimes struggle to make it out of the house but once I get out there, I nearly always feel better. Do your levels drop a bit as the day goes on and do you need correction doses to get them lower or will they slowly drop without help.... Just wondering if your basal insulin is not quite the right dose. Was that something the nurse mentioned? So pleased you felt like the meeting was helpful and supportive.

PS. You can't have "Late again" as a user name unless I can have "Always late", it's a genetic trait passed down form my mother and both my sister and myself have it.

I think its not just BS results, its just that being down makes it feel like everyone else is perfect/has perfect lives. And I have been watching way too much TV where of course everyone is perfect.
My basal is Toujeo with Novarapid during the day. Blood sugars are usually higher in the morning and late evening. Evening def the worse. So without changing everything at once I am just working on it bit by bit. If I have too much Toujeo I have hyoos all over the place. so we are slowly increasing it at the moment.
I talked with the Diabetes nurse who has said that I can do a libre trial in the new year.
Thank you for your support
 
Morning all,
A 5.9 today.
@Inamuddle just re-reading your comments of yesterday I agree that T1's have so much more to cope with than T2's, but we stand in awe of how you all cope with it! Many on the forum have other underlying challenges that are perhaps less talked about. The point of this thread is support and I have found tremendous help just being on here almost a year now.
IMHA there was only one 'perfect person' and we are coming up to celebrate His Birthday soon... Everyone else is just 'normal' 😎
We all have to take each day as it comes and I think it is really brave of some to even post half of the challenges that they have to face in their lives.
Stick with it and thanks for being on here!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning campers. 5.3! So near to having a hat trick of HSs, ach well, I’ve done well to get two in a week. I’m not being greedy. I went for a proper walk yesterday, first one in three weeks. Just five miles, but five VERY muddy miles, blimey, it was like wading through treacle at times. But it was nice to get my walking boots on again, after three weeks of just slippers. Going to try Spag Bol tonight. First red meat for three weeks. Wish me luck. 🙂 Have a super Sunday, it’s raining here! :(
