Group 7-day waking average?

Don't mean to burst your bubble but remember the fat content in nuts can delay any rise, Type 1's have to be quite cautious with fat content for this reason as inject too early and you risk the insulin hitting the system before the carbs do, we often have to split a dose and do some upfront and some after as it peaks after a dose is out of the system if done all in one go xx

Ah poo really? Is it worth testing 3 hours after, or possibly longer, I’m quite happy to experiment. X
 
4.4 for me this morning but only because I had a single "Hypo Hero" 3 hours earlier when I was 4.9. Quite impressed that I headed off another one.
Had a bad day emotionally yesterday, but feeling a bit better today. Let's hope it stays that way.

@SueEK I would check 3 and 4 hours. There is fibre and fat in nuts which can both slow it down but it may be that that allows your body to respond to them and cope with them. I need to inject insulin for them afterwards... It is usually at the 1.5-2hr mark when I start to see them causing a rise but I have a fast digestive system. If you do find that they spike you later, split your portion in half and have half in the morning and half in the afternoon/evening to see if your body can handle that better.

I'd say so yes, I'd test for up to 5 hours later probably, that's if you have the strips and time to do so of course, that's 1 of the main benefits of us having the luxury of the Libre (although the amount of lows I've been having my fingers are a mess at the moment lol) xx
 
7.3 today so not too bad after a nice and particularly hot red Thai curry last night.
No rice just the curry so I’m pretty pleased with myself.
Have a great day everyone!!

Snap @SueEK , 8.1 for me as well.

Currently watching Boris on Andrew Marr and wondering whether i definitely am in school from tomorrow or not. At the moment we are open, training day tomorrow and children back on Tuesday but there are so many differing opinions now. Who knows anymore. I shall be working on the assumption i am back at work until i hear otherwise.

Its a bit of a nightmare @freesia -and they say kids argue and fight in the playground!!! We have training day tomorrow but know we’re doing online lessons for all year groups and then year 11 should be back on the 11th and the rest from 18th but who actually knows what will happen.
Enjoy the last day of freedom so to speak.
 
4.4 this morning.
Enjoy the day.

I’ve been using my exercise bike every day - emoji with halo 😉 - but mainly as a way of keeping warm! Come four o’clock, I’m freezing but too tight to put the heating on early. A cuppa and half an hour on the bike and I’m toasty.:D
 
A 6.4 for me this morning. Prepped the veg for dinner (roast pork and crackling). Time to hit the exercise bike.
 
12.6 today. Not as bad as 17.8 on New Years' Day (but I did forget to take my BI NYE - idiot), increasing my BI again.
Only had one pre-breakfast below 9 in last 13 days. Not happy.
Other pre-meal BGs are a bit less horrible.
 
2 hours after lunch and level had gone up to 10.5! Decided to go for a very short walk and some fresh air. Halfway into the 30 min walk i scanned, 9.5 and level so i carried on. Just got back and scanned. 3.3!!!!! How did it drop that quick in 15 mins? Grrrrr..i bet the dratted DF has paid me a visit!
 
which is good as I lurve nuts.

You mean you luvs your legumes! :D Why do they call them peanuts then?

10.05 @ 5.15am so tried again, different finger, 8.4 @ 5.17am then went back to bed till 2 and took me ten minutes to get my eyes open. What the heck is going on? Hope I'm not asymptomatic, as I had that weird sweat thing like poor Jeremy Clarkson and went all round Tesco today, it was heaving. Elbow to elbow at the veg counter... crazy. I need to shop online I think, if I can manage to finally get a slot. Mind you, I did have that huge meal last night, forgot about that... conveniently. 🙄 Have a good evening all.
 
🙄03/01/21 Oops! ALMOST put 20 & JUST caught myself in time: always that switchover period when I have to remember to put the new year correctly; bet you I’m not the only one! 😳🙄:D 21:09, get ready for the shocker, BS 11.7!😱😱😱 All self induced by SILLY Little Miss Numpty who completely missed her meds & LR at midday! I checked the Timesulin cap upon waking & it is indeed true!😳o_O

I fell asleep around 10am, I think, yesterday morning after getting up at 3am & didn’t notice my phone was very low on power so, it was off when I woke & plugged in to charge now & no alarm! 🙄😳

I’ve done little boo boo’s like this before, need to remember to check phone battery power before sleeping, & have various differring results with different basal strategies & tried this one to see how if it works any better? 🙄 Took my oral meds first then, I decided to try 60 units for midday, I’m awake & won’t be sleeping for a while & dithered about putting in half of the 60 I missed at midday but, chickened out a bit as that’s a VERY SCARY WHOPPING GREAT BIG DOSE 90 units & went 80 units. Finally bunged in breakfast NR +4 correction, cooked & ate breakfast!

Only time will tell what happens but, I’m trying to avoid not being higher for about 36 hours, when I’ve missed a basal dose, & treading the fine line of not going hypo from too much insulin at once? Close eye on testing & trusty JB’s close to hand! 🙄 & Hopping on toes emoji!

My left eye has been very tired & overstrained lately with all the golf & that’s why I slept so long as the poor eye needed to recover! I woke up with a nicely rested left eye that wasn’t twitching: it’s still at the easily tired stage after cataract op that my right eye went through; it’s been fully healed & no eyedrops for a few years now but, it can still be prone to tiredness from overstraining!

An early upcoming, for you lot with a normal sleeping pattern, Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Just an update on basal experiment! 2 hours after breakfast 0:45 BS 16.1 didn’t panic & didn’t correct as after a missed basal dose BS is ALWAYS high & the higher basal dose, compensating for missed dose, hasn’t had long to kick in yet! 4 hours after breakfast 02:50 BS 8.1! 😱 & a cautious🙂 That’s almost in target range which is very fast: maybe TOO fast; time will tell & keep testing until next LR dose at midday to see if JB’s are needed?🙄
 
Another update after eating my 2nd meal of the day. 5 hours & 44 minutes after breakfast I was beginning to feel a little peckish & tested 04:33 BS 6.1 🙂 Back in target by 2nd meal that’s faster than ever before when I’ve missed a basal dose! Cooked & ate before sticking in a -2 reduced lunch dose, for safety until I know what’s what, & I cautiously think this is working: it’s certainly faster; I usually eat lunch about 6 hours after breakfast anyway & by the time I cooked after testing, it’s about that!🙂 Of course there’s still hours to go until the next LR dose so, I’ll see what happens?🙄
 
Morning all. @Lanny your day is all topsy turvy, hope you gets things sorted soon.
7.6 today after only 70g yesterday and a 6.9 before bed, guess either the DF or DP, still at least it is better than the day before.
Must dash off to work. Have a good day x
 
I know @SueEK I get out of sync quite often! 😳 It’s a good thing I’m not working as that’s exhausting & I’ve had that when I was: mind you, being in the restaurant business wasn’t very conducive to normal sleeping patterns either!🙄
 
Morning all,
A slightly better 6.3 this morning.
Iceland delivery later, its good how much you can get from them that's not frozen. Every little helps oops! Wrong advert! 🙂
Have a lovely day!
Blessings Snowwy
 
I’m returning to familiar territory with a 5.4 this morning. My wife has been extremely supportive since my diagnosis way back in February so I can’t for the life of me understand why she suggested that her sister gives me a box of Bendix chocolates for my birthday. She also bought three or four boxes of other chocolates and a tin of shortbread in the buildup! Regrettably I’m still sulking...
