Group 7-day waking average?

Not been on over Christmas....

5.4 for me this morning. Just trying to flurry with snow as I walked across the garden to let the chickens out.

6.2 on Christmas day, 5.6 on Boxing day, 6.4 on Sunday and 5.5 yesterday.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas - back in the office this morning

Morning

7.7 today, that was after 2 Lifts for a 6.8 on waking, looks like the Tresiba adjustments are finally having an effect! Was safer to have the Lifts though as went from 9.0 on waking yesterday to 6.2 an hour later before breakfast and I'm not willing to take the risk after daily morning lows for more than a week now!

Glad the changes are working Kaylz. It can be so frustrating when the DF calls and stays too long.

Good to see you back and some pretty reasonable reading over the festive period considering the temptations of the season. Hope you haven't had any more episodes and have perhaps been able to restart some gentle exercise again. Did you manage to get anywhere with the doc?

I can't even remember opening my Christmas presents, I was hypo at the time :( had plenty of Lift tabs 2 weeks ago, now stock is running low, money wasn't an issue and asked MIL to get me 5 tubes of the raspberry but she thought a tub of 50 orange were a bargain and went against what I asked and the orange ones I don't get on well with, hopefully the 20 blueberry I have here will last until I can get some ones I can use xx

Does it have a maker's name / serial number on it?

Yes, both, but difficult to read. It looks like Suisson Paris but a Google search brings up nothing other than, funnily enough, Suisson and clarinet and the page doesn’t load.

I've been fine thanks @rebrascora

Doctor managed to track down my last chest x-ray which was in December 2013. It shows the same elevated diaphragm. He has no explanation of the cause but as it hasn't caused a problem he says get on with things. I have a review on the 11th of January so we'll see if he has any ideas. Had a few days of relaxing and not much exercise over Christmas other than walking with my son while he whizzes around on his new electric scooter. I did manage 40 minutes of yoga yesterday and am planning to ride the exercise bike this afternoon. The good news is that I didn't put on any weight and as I don't have a sweet tooth I didn't miss the mince pies and chocolate that I would have normally stuffed myself with.

I even baked myself some flax seed and almond biscuits (from a Tom Kerridge recipe) which were fantastic with the cheese board!

Just got my latest HbA1c back- 36 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
 
8.1 this morning then up to 15.9 after 15 minutes on the bike and housework. Shocking!
the good news is my Blood Pressure is now in range for the first time in months which I think is down to the exercise I’m doing. Any ideas how to get my BS under control as well. Maybe the wrong time of year to ask that. Have a good day everyone
 
@adrian1der I knew you would be in line for a good score but that is exceptional! I hope you are extremely proud of yourself. I am sure your family are. Many, many congratulations!!
 
Good morning team🙂

6.6 for me this morning, which is rather unexciting, just the way I like it. Don’t do excitement these days.

Nothing much happening at the moment. Getting a Tesco delivery this morning. Ordered yesterday. Not that it’s urgent, but that was the only priority slot available before January. I guess ordinary slots are unavailable too. I think the population is expecting a full lockdown, even if the so-called government aren’t. Nothing surprising there then 🙄

It snowed here overnight, so a lovely winter scene is all around, the land and hills glowing in the watery sun. And this is why there was a yellow weather warning. When I was young, we didn’t need weather alerts. We called this time of year Winter, wore scarf, gloves and wellies, and just got on with life. It wasn’t dangerous unless you had no common sense. I remember one snowy day when I was a rebellious kid, me and a couple of mates walked up a hill overlooking a main road. We dug out some snow on the side of the hill down to the grass, so the world could see the message “Up Yours” in eight foot high lettering. When you are 11 years old, that is the height of wit, though I’m still proud of it, it was hard work.😎

Have to stay in now, mind, electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters don’t like snow. A four wheel skid in a wheelchair is a bowel loosening experience😳:D

Anyway, have a good and safe day, slippy pavements are just a way to fill A&E with hip fractures, and slow travel to fill A&E with older men in acute urinary retention. Collateral damage, that.

Was that huge rise before breakfast? If so, try eating a boiled egg or a chunk of cheese when you get up to try to keep your liver quiet and prevent it from dumping. It doesn't work for everyone but worth a try if you haven't already.
I am finding evening exercise is helping enormously with bringing down my morning readings.
Can you remind us what if any medication you are on?
