Group 7-day waking average?

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?

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

It is so hard when others don’t understand our needs. Take care @Kaylz.

So that rise to 15.9 was after breakfast of bran flakes AND Shreddies? If so, you need to look at lowering your carb intake if you want to get better readings. Try an omelette or some scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast instead or some natural Greek yoghurt and a few berries and see what your levels do after that. Reducing your carb intake will have more impact on your levels than almost anything else except injecting insulin.

Exercise will usually take your levels down several hours later but depending on how exertive it is, it can also temporarily increase your levels, so you could have had a combination of Dawn Phenomenon/Foot on the Floor syndrome, exercise and high carb breakfast all pushing your levels up
 
Woohoo! I get to post first this morning.... when does that ever happen!!!

5.6 for me and very proud of that as I had half a stewm ginger cookie at bedtime to achieve it!!!
Going to post now before someone else beats me to it...
 
7.9 and only here cause I was told it was working again lol
xx
 
09:10 BS 7.4 🙂 It took me until now to get on the forum this morning but, kept trying!🙄 The same thing happened yesterday morning & then, forgot to try again: yesterday’s waking BS was 7.6. Difficulties in getting on the forum are increasing
🙄:(

I woke to find a light smattering of snow on the ground & last night was pretty chilly! Already had my breakfast & I’m waiting for a prescription delivery from my local chemist which they say maybe tomorrow as the weather, snow, is slowing things up a bit.

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 Wrap up warm if there’s snow where you are!🙂

Edited to add back in the end of the sentence that mysteriously disappeared! 🙄o_O
 
4.8 for me ages ago this morning. 🙂
I'm glad we're back on again - I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms. 😳

Stay safe and well and logged in.

6.7 this morning.

I know that the figure is fine but I’d rather it was in the 5s rather than the 6s so cue a severe tightening of foodstuffs consumed for the foreseeable.
Gym obviously isn’t open and going out for long walks it’s quite clear that people are failing to understand the basic rules. Unless there are tonnes of households which seemingly consist of three couples, their kids, maybe grandparents and dogs.
Guess that means exercising to YouTube videos in my living room.
 
@ColinUK If you go out for your walk at 8 or 9pm it is much quieter. I only saw one person last night on a 5 mile walk. Beautiful "moonlicht nicht" here last night but you need to dress up warm!
Helps with the morning readings too!
 
Morning, I’ve just managed to get on too. 6.1 for me after a weird hypo evening. Had our planned walk, breaking it up to have fish and chips. I gave myself a conservative dose of insulin as had another 4/5 miles to do. In hindsight ( how many times do we say that?) I should have split my dose as I didn’t eat it all. 9.3 miles walked/skidded/slipped along the trail. Very cold and never got warmed up, hip/ pelvis playing up too. Got home, set and lit the fire. 6pm, started to feel hot, sweaty, nauseous and just ill. Managed to take my BGs. 3.1! Three JBs and laid down. Half an hour later 4.4, felt a bit less sick so made my self a sandwich. Bolused 1:15. Hindsight again, 8.40pm, 3.3! More JBs, headache and felt sick. Started watching last Black Narcissus, felt better. 10.30. 6.5. Had a boiled egg and a handful of crisps. Woke twice through night and checked BG, 8.7 and 6.5. Survived the night! Hindsight mode switched back on! Have a good day, freezing fog here, fed the birds and attempted to break the ice on their water baths, not a lot of success I’m afraid.
 
@rebrascora I'll try that but it goes against the grain as I’m really much more of a morning person in general. Although avoiding grain isn’t a bad thing for us! 🙂
 
Morning all. :D 6.3 here.

It was DRY on our morning walk 😛 !!!

These big groups make me wonder too @ColinUK. There’s a group of lycra-ed ladies, about 8 of them, that are out most mornings, running and chatting. They can’t all be related / in a bubble / exempt from the rules, surely?o_O
 
4.4 and still enjoying my food changes, feeling that I am getting more confident with food choices.
