Group 7-day waking average?

Hi @adrian1der, nothing like asking a couple or three very simple questions when somebody gives you information you do not understand. At least he said he would find the answers rather than waffle on - one of the effects of simple questions is to alert the pro that they are not going to get away with waffle!

Hope you get an explanation quickly, you don't want it happening again.

@Kaylz I'm really impressed! I wouldn't have had the gumption/confidence to have a Lift on 7.1.... I just don't trust my diabetes to be that predictable... but then that's because it's not! Really nicely managed on your part!
Wow re 4.5 choc gingers at bedtime! Funny how basal needs can change so radically. You seem to be really good at embracing that change and working ways around it.

After a few days of falling on getting up it's better to be safe than sorry so just go with the flow as they say lol

To be honest I don't mind shoveling them down my throat, I'm quite often hungry by then anyway due to last meal being 16:30

@Kaylz, i'm pleased your levels were more settled last night. Hope you enjoyed your digestives, they sound yummy. I am rather jealous, if i ate those i would have a massive spike.
I ended up having a spike to 12 overnight anyway. Libre showed a hypo before bed but finger prick was 4.2. A bit low to go to bed on so i snacked on crackers. Still had a liver dump, high spike then sudden drop. If it had been a normal working day, i would have been awake and caught the hypo this morning. Oh well, fingers crossed its not a day of ups and downs.

I was a tad disappointed with them to be honest, not as strong on the gingerbread as I was hoping and I wouldn't rush to buy them again, much prefer just the plain Morrison's digestives or hobnobs, spiked to around 10 which isn't great but I had no other option, I'd rather eat something like that before bed than wake up and need to eat Lift tabs through the night lol

I agree with your sentiment about admitting he did not know but would find out. I back in the mid 70's worked with a Ward Sister who had a repulsion as a bit of dragon, when ever I asked a question if she did not she would admit she didn't and try to find out. A more popular Ward Sister never admitted she did not know, she would waffle.
 
Little Miss Forgetful, Distracted & Golf Mad, virtual golf to be clear, is reporting in after being 2 days absent! 😳

12:32 BS 5.5 🙂 Pretty happy with that. The previous 2 days were a bit mote erratic with 7.5 on Monday & a self induced, indulgent, 9.0 yesterday all after midday as I was sleeping VERY late, well after midnight! I’m playing another golf tournament & doing the new season challenges at the start of a new season: just introduced last season & took a while to even notice them, got started late & couldn’t complete them all so, determined to get started right away this season & see if I can get them all this season?🙄 Oh I couldn’t resist any longer & had a chunk of tesco finest Belgian chocolate yule log after dinner & before bed 2 night in a row: just under bolused for it the first night; upped the bolus for it last night & my BS is MUCH better looking!😳🙄:D Delicious & still 2 chunks, or half, of the yule log left! Anyone want a chunk that definitely requires extra bolus but, worth it?😛:D😉

A Very Good Day to you all mates! 😉 I’m afraid it’s GOT to be an Australian greeting today!:D😉

Haven’t read any posts yet & will catch up later! 🙂

6.8 this morning and a good result on my keto strip too.

I have an online funeral to attend today. A dear friend who had a heart attack while driving and managed to steer into a roundabout and avoided including any other drivers/cars. He'd just had his second wedding anniversary and it was completely unexpected. I'm finding it very surreal. He's one of those people everyone turned to for a wise/happy/comforting take on the world and I still haven't properly processed that he is gone. I suppose that is what funerals are for.

Very sorry to hear this @NotWorriedAtAll :( {{{HUGS}}}
 
That is very sad and a brave man for making that effort to pull into the side @NotWorriedAtAll I am sorry for your loss.

SueEK that is one fine OH you have there!

Got up at three so no point measuring, watched New Tricks and a Discovery Of Witches and went back to bed till far too late zzz have a good day all.
 
6.5 for me. I shouldn’t have had that ice cream, chocolate and Baileys. Christmas is but once a year. Good luck with all your preparations everyone.
 
Morning all,
A 6.0 this morning!
@Michael12421 after hearing yesterday that we in Sussex have been moved from tier 2 to tier 4 from boxing day, I might have started on the truffels too... if I had some!
So everything is cancelled!
However, LOVE in not cancelled and HOPE is not cancelled and CHRISTMAS is not cancelled.
So I am sending to each and everyone of you on the forum
Love and hope this Christmas.

Blessings Snowwy
 
4.7 for me this morning. 🙂
My weather app says its 2°c outside (but feels like -2). 😱
I think I’ll risk an early morning walk when it’s a bit nearer sunrise.

Merry Christmas Eve on this frosty morning. Watch, it’ll be mild and wet tomorrow! Anyhoo, 5.8, which is good considering I was 11.4 at bedtime, ( party food) but I held my nerve and got away with it. I’ve gotten up early for a bit of peace before the grandkids descend demanding breakfast. They are having a continental breakfast this morning. Croissants, pan au chocolate and Mr Eggy is making his world famous Scotch pancakes. Well, they’re famous in his world! I’m going to have an egg! Got one grandchild until 2pm and the other three until about 4pm. I might just go straight to bed and cut out the middle man! Have a great day all. One more sleep! 🙂
 
Morning all, 7.2 here. Discovered I was 3.9 at bedtime, but perhaps I didn’t need all of that flapjack.
We are set to leapfrog from Tier 2 to Tier 4 here too. We are coming along nicely with our Plagues of Egypt. Pestilence, tick, Locusts (panic buyers stripping the supermarket shelves), tick. Flooding yesterday, tick. My Firstborn is beginning to look a bit nervous.
 
Morning all. :D 6.4 here.

Grandkids on Xmas Eve, eek @eggyg - they must be bouncing off the walls with excitement. Good luck! Let’s hope the Scotch pancakes weigh them down.🙂

Not much planned here. Listen to news, try not to get freaked out, open presents after dinner, go to bed.:D
