Group 7-day waking average?

Kaylz said:
Well 6.1 on waking at 5:22am so due to recent days I took on a Lift tab, an hour later and I'd still fallen to 4.1 so 2 more Lift tabs and a reduced bolus 🙄

Don't trust soap when it says "sensitive", I ran out of Dove so opened a pack of Asda "sensitive" it isn't as gentle as it would lead you to believe, have been up all night with my hands and wrists on fire and itching, weeping and blooming sore :( Bruce bringing Dove up today and it will be layering Sudocrem on to try and relieve the itching and agony, swollen as well but had no option but to continue using it :(

@Maca44 sorry to hear about your wife, I hope she makes a speedy recovery and the rest of you make it through without contracting it

If you can Get a little tube of cortisol cream 0.2% it will fix your itching and fire in a few minutes after rubbing it on
 
A surprisingly high 9.3 today, the dam DP at its work again just when you think you have the basal set up in the pump to take care of it it starts again.
Anyhow everyone have a great day!!
 
Good morning all. A very low 5 ( for me that is). Had a food wobble yesterday, this new low residue diet is so boring, all white this and white that, veg was just a distance memory, so I decided on Friday to have a stir fry with a salmon fillet. It was lovely but I’ve suffered ever since. Bloated, nauseous, unsatisfactory “ movements”. Sorry, TMI! So back on the baby food! Could be my first Christmas without Brussels! :( And I’m not talking about Brexit!
Have a Happy Monday and all you fellas in Tier 4 who hadn’t even started your Christmas shopping, Tesco do a nice line in cardigans! 😉
 
Oops. 4.0 again this morning. 🙂
I've had a bit of a dicky tum the last few days, so that may account for the low readings.

Stay safe and well.

Morning all, 5.5 here. Off for my usual co-op run in a mo, to see if there’s anything left in there. The Ravening Hordes of second homers all fled London on Saturday evening, (probably bringing new-variant covid with them) and by all accounts were raiding the supermarket on Sunday. Daughter who lives round the corner from it said there were queues for the car park all along the road. Bah Humbug!

Thanks but it would probably be a tad expensive and I grudge paying a bit when my hands are never away from water long enough to do much good, longest is through the night from 10pm-5:30am, the rest of the time my hands are constantly being washed :( they aren't too bad today but the skin is peeling off and looking and feeling tight, going to really **** my mum off by saying I don't want my grandad here for tea but with his carelessness I wouldn't be letting him in any day if I had a say but I pay to be here and get no say or anything xx
 
Morning all. 7.2 for me today. Was expecting a message via the UCLH app to cancel my procedure, woke up to a message telling me to be there at 7am, so looks like it is going ahead, oh well so be it! Won’t be posting tomorrow morning as will need to leave the house at 4.45am though am thinking the roads will be much quieter than usual.
Raining yet again this morning, doesn’t seem to have stopped for days and so dark but nice and cosy indoors.
Misty (our dog) is going for a sleepover at my daughters tonight so hope she’s ready for another dog on her bed, I wouldn’t be surprised if my SIL takes himself off to one of the kids bedrooms to get a good nights sleep lol.
Anyhow, stay well everyone x
 
Well its a 5.2 for me this morning. I'm having a phone call from my DSN this morning to catch up. Will see what she has to say about my levels. I think they've been pretty good lately overall, any hypis i have had i can say what caused them and what i did to try and stop them.
@Robin i hope you get your shopping and the shelves aren't too bare.
@SueEK i hope the procedure goes ok for you.
Have a good day folks. Its dark and rainy here so i'm not planning much apart from delivering a few Christmas cards
 
I'm with you @Michael12421 in the 8s with an 8.2. Always nice to start the day in good company!

Ate a little too much protein and fat (pate) at bedtime to keep me from dropping low after all my exercise yesterday and just over did it a bit. I actually woke up on 7.7 but 3 mins later when the alarm went off and I got up, it was on it's way up.

I've had a change of plan this morning so I am having breakfast before my run to see how that works. Just waiting for Fiasp to kick in so I can eat and then head out.

@Maca44 Sorry to hear that your wife is feeling poorly with the Covid. Hope she picks up soon.
Not sure what made me think you are on Gliclazide. I was sure I had read it somewhere. I am not familiar with the other medications you are on but they shouldn't be able to cause hypos, but I agree that with the readings you are posting you do appear to be over medicated and you should maybe push for an appointment to discuss dropping or at least reducing some of them. That said, with Covid in your household, it is probably better to have your levels on the low side than too high. Really hope, you all come through it quickly and smoothly with no long term effects.

@mikeyB Congratulations on your HS yesterday. Your new toy sounds interesting. Totally agree about charging things. Love Cordless but trying to make sure everything has enough juice to do what you want when you want it sometimes feels like a plate spinner... Ok an exaggeration perhaps... but for the likes of me who is disorganised.... I drop a lot of plates! Not yet wanted to go back to the old corded days though.

@SB2015 Sorry you are finding your new pump a bit frustrating at the moment and that you ended up high through the night. It is the same with a new phone, as you know, it takes time to get used to the new functions and unlearn how the old one worked. Don't rip it off and throw it across the room just yet, you will get there and once you get started with the automated mode, I am sure you will reap the benefits. It is just this transition period which is proving challenging... but you know that..... totally sympathize though. I really admire people who relish change and get excited about a new upgraded phone or whatever.

Rrrrr thank you for your support, I will keep at what im doing and see how it goes but my diet is already making me feel much better so I am on the right path.
 
8.1 this morning. I had a mince pie yesterday.

Then I had another.

A little later another one was found on my plate.

Later still I could hear crying and it was the last mince pie. I asked it what was wrong and it explained that it was really sad as it’d been separated from its family and really wanted to go where they’d gone. Being a kindhearted soul and it being Christmas I helped it find those family members.

Really not sure why I am liking your post except your brutal honesty and creative writing!
I gasped when I read that you had eaten a second one! Just picking myself up off the floor after reading on and realising that it didn't stop there! Can't believe your reading is only 8.1!! Was going to say jammy, but more mincey! XX
Hope you are able to get out for a good long walk today in your sack cloth and ashes.... You bad boy!! 😉:D

@freesia Yes Congrats from me too. It does make them much more special when you get them so infrequently doesn't it....
Almost makes you feel sad for those people who achieve the goal on a near weekly basis... so mundane! 😉
