Group 7-day waking average?

4.2 first thing
 
Good morning 3.8 but didn't feel like a hypo and probbaly wasn't as my sensor always reads lower than blood. I have had a strange few days with my levels, needing more corrections even though I have not eaten that much. Oh well, just the fun of being type one. So grateful for the sensor as it helps me know exactly what is going on. I wish you all a good week.
 
Morning all. Didn't manage to get on over the weekend. Lie ins to blame! Saturday a rather poor 6.4, Sunday a 5.8 and today just missed an HS at 05:56 with a 5.3

Yesterday my weight dropped below 16st at 15st 13.6 lbs. Maintained it this morning with 15st 13.5. My goal was to get below 16st by Christmas so slightly ahead of schedule 🙂
 
08:34 BS 7.5 🙂 Already had breakfast & forgot to post that earlier as I was playing golf in bed!😳

Made a bit of a boo boo in that I could have sworn that my weekly shopping is coming today but, it’s for tomorrow! I still have enough to eat but, I was looking forward to having fresh supplies of mushrooms & beansprouts: mushrooms, in particular, don’t stay fresh for long so, only get to eat them in the first half of the week; freezing them dosen’t work either as I’ve tried & when cooked it disintegrates & it’s virtually all water! Also have bought frozen sliced mushrooms, I think already cooked, before & it’s almost the same thing but, can get by if making soup in a pinch as the mushrooms stay intact with loads of water! BUT, no latte this morning & had to make do with a good ole cup of tea: I’ve turned from a tea person, these last month or so, into a coffee person; specifically latte! 🙄 Ah well, I get my latte tomorrow, if a bit late as it’s 12:00 to 14:00 delivery slot from asda!🙂 Before CV & when asda still did £25 for delivery, without a basket charge & now £40, I used to order twice a week with my main £40 shop from tesco at the start of the week & asda £25 shop midweek: can’t do that anymore as it’s too expensive & just have once a week!

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

Thanks @Lanny

Next goal is to shed that 0.5lbs for 4st total weight loss 🙂

Then I'll have to work on the next 2st 1lb to get me down to a normal BMI....seems a long way to go but not when I consider how far I've already come
 
Hi all, so I am a newbie!
Mine was 8 this morning, not sure why it was so high, didn’t have anything particularly high carb yesterday. They are tending to be a bit all over the place as I make some drastic changes to my lifestyle. However overall average for the last 7 days is 7.3. Down from 8.1 average the previous week. So it’s all going in the right direction.
 
5.6 and I am feeling quite smug this morning.

I had Chinese banquet last night. Didn't get too uptight about it as it was my brother in law's birthday. Shot myself 5 units Fiasp 20 mins before starting. Had some hot and sour soup with half a dozen prawn crackers, mixed hors d'oevres ie spring roll, chicken wing, spare rib and a wanton, then 3 duck pancakes and a tiny amount of rice with sizzling beef, lemon chicken and sweet and sour pork. Took 2 split dose/correction units nearly 2 hours later and had a further 1 unit correction at bedtime. Didn't manage to do my evening exercise so felt that I was safe going to bed on 10 with 1 correction unit to work on it..... and I did all that without having my Libre to rely on.... finger pricked rather a lot though 🙄.
Despite feeling horribly stressed and emotional (had a good heart to heart with my sister which really helped) I am chuffed to bits that I managed it all so well. Have a real MSG hangover this morning though despite drinking pints of water last night.

Anyway, plans for today involve psyching myself up for a heart to heart with my ex tonight so that we are both very sure walking away from 10 years together is what at least one of us definitely wants... and collecting the rest of my bits and pieces from his house. Think I just need to be sure I have said everything I need to say, in case any of it makes any difference. Don't want to be thinking "what if" or having regrets or uncertainty, as that is self destructive. Feeling pretty fragile, but also quite determined/confident of what I need to do.
 
@adrian1der Congrats from me too! It feels good doesn't it, when you cross these milestones and even more so when you get a few days of remaining below and/or continuing the downward trend. I half expected to hover about the 10st mark when I first dipped below it, but I am more chuffed that I am continuing to keep it below and drop further. Keep at it and you will get there. Just break it down into small achievable targets. Look forward to you hitting your next goal. Please keep us posted on your progress. It is uplifting for everyone I think to read of success.
 
Forgot to post my stats this morning! 5.3
 
Welcome @I_am_me to the forum!
Hopefully you will find help and support here on your journey with Diabetes.

Hi @I_am_me
Don't know if this will help. It is my weekly average waking BG from diagnosis. Numbers along the bottom are weeks after diagnosis. So started around 8 and now mid 5's to 6. Took me around 6 weeks to get down to a 6

That does help. Thank you. I am only on week 4 since diagnosis and week 2 since I started to collect the data. At least I am going in the right direction and this makes things much clearer. Thank you
 
Should add that I am eating low carb and I try and do 45 minutes of exercise most days. As you'll see from my signature, I have lost over two stone since diagnosis. And the truth is I feel better than I have done in years!
 
@adrian1der well done on your weight loss, keep at it you’re doing brilliantly
@I_am_me welcome
@rebrascora hope all goes well this evening whatever the outcome. Such a good plan to say all that needs to be said so there can be no regrets. Stay strong xx
 
Welcome @I_am_me. We are a friendly bunch on here so ask any questions, doesn't matter how silly they seem. Or just come on and have a rant if you have a bad day.
@rebrascora, i hope all goes well tonight. Be strong xx
 
Evening all. 8.0 @ 4.23am miss being in the 6s but I'm highly stressed so not surprised.

Niece Tilly got sent home from school, rampant Covid and she doesn't go back till 4th Jan. Teachers getting it as well. There's a new strain too. All we need! :( Just when I thought we were getting slightly back to normal...
