Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone. 7.3 for me this morning and feeling very anxious with all the news.
Have a good day everyone
 
5.1 when I went to bed last night and 6.3 this morning.
 
8.2 for me this morning which reflects the fact that I haven't exercised for 2 days due to black ice. I did head out for a run last night but after quarter of a mile I had to accept I was risking life and limb and being stupid. I gave myself a unit of Levemir last night to cover the expected basal increase but obviously not quite enough.... Still in target though and my TIR is back up to 95% with just 1% below and 4% above so I am not too unhappy.

@Lanny You are sounding quite smug about managing your little LR oversight and it's looking good, so I think you have every right to be....Must have been so tempting to correct that 16 reading but really well done resisting!
 
Morning all, 4.7 here. Back to reality today, just off to do an early supermarket run before it gets busy. Need quite a lot of stuff, just shopped locally for fresh stuff over Christmas and New Year, and had our bubbled son with us, who doubles our consumption! I sent him home yesterday with the remains of the Christmas cake and mince pies.
 
😳 Oops! Didn’t mean to sound smug but, it’s taken me so long to get back into range when this happened before & that’s why I wanted to try a different way!🙂

I followed what other T1’s did before of estimating the remaining time left till the next dose & bunging that in then, bung in the next dose. But, I’d be higher for about 36 hours before getting back to normal! I think being T2, having insulin resistance, makes a big difference in the insulin I need to get started on shifting high BS down? 🙄
 
@Lanny My comment wasn't meant as a criticism.... far from it .... and it is great that you document what you are doing and thought process behind it in as much detail as you do, because that way, we can all learn.
 
5.1 so pretty stable over the last few weeks.

I’m not surprised @freesia - the government are very good at the decision hokey-cokey. Is your school open today?

Morning all. :D 5.1 here.

Watch out hubby, I’m going to clean the kitchen today. It’s amazing how grubby it gets. I blame the dogs! I saw it thru a visitor’s eyes yesterday and felt sick, LOL. 😉
 
Morning from chilly Scotland

6.6 for me after an odd BG day yesterday, higher than I wanted to be all afternoon and night, don't know why and I'm too exhausted physically and emotionally to worry about it unless it becomes regular, fed up of saying something and getting snippy answers, fed up of mentioning something about how I'm feeling and getting "it's your choice" anxiety and OCD is not a choice, I don't know who to turn to, I want out of this house but that could take months maybe even years but this place is damaging me even more, fed up crying all the time
xx
 
Morning all. 5.9 after a turkey curry and rice last night. Had our walk yesterday after breakfast and an “ incident” occurred. Came across a muddy/icy very large puddle, had to skirt round it so grabbed a tree branch AKA twig, swung myself round only for it to snap and I landed flat on my back in the aforementioned muddy/icy puddle! o_O Smacked my head on a lump of ice but otherwise a soft landing. Long story short, I got up eventually and had to walk home, another three miles, with a very soggy bottom amongst other things! I’m fine today, a tad stiff but ok. Here’s the evidence to brighten up your Monday morning. Staying in today as even a walk on the pavement isn’t advised today as we’ve black ice and already had some nasty accidents by all accounts. Have a non icy, non muddy day. 🙂

In the interests of learning, I thought I might as well post after lunch, does NOT sound right & why I prefer 2nd meal of the day, readings as well!

2 hours after 2nd meal 06:59 BS 8.2. 3 hours after 08:08 BS 8.0. I think I got it more or less right as LR is tapering off as it’s coming up to 12 hours around 10am & BS isn’t too low or high! 🙂 Then, I may bung in midday LR a bit early, or not, depending on my readings?

I’m much more willing to experiment to find new ways that work better & JB’s, along with extra testing, gives me the courage to do so! 🙂
 
@Kaylz hope today isn’t too tough and how you can find a way through soon x
 
5.6 for me this morning. 🙂
It's another -2°C icy morning out there - so another session on my Roger Black is called for.

Stay safe.

I'm not bothered about the 6.6, it's everything else I've got going on that's getting to me, with my mum allowing my grandad in for instance that alone is meaning OCD will consume at least an hour and a half of my day today, I try to express how I feel and that it makes me uncomfortable but rather than try and help me states its her house and she's entitled to have her dad in, I pay to live in a house I don't feel safe in, my grandad doesn't follow guidelines, isn't big on hygiene etc and with everything else it's just all getting too much for me, contamination OCD is difficult at anytime but even more so being in a pandemic, lack of understanding and not even trying to understand, I constantly get told I'm being stupid and getting tutted at which of course stresses me out making me carry out my compulsions and rituals more, my hands and arms are sore but those around just carry on as normal while it's damaging me without a thought for what they are putting me through, sorry you didn't need to know all that xx

Thanks, today is one of the toughest of the week with my grandad being in more than once, then I can't even relax when he's gone because of his tendencies to come down whenever he gets a text on his phone and can't open it no matter how many times I ask him not to, he needs prompting to wash his hands after all this time still too xx
