Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all it’s a pleasant enough 5.1

Off to private podiatrist in town, thank goodness they are open as no NHS podiatry since Feb ‘20 and I’m trying so hard to keep my leg. Going on bus but instead of sitting at the front as usual I’m hobbling up the back so no one can breathe over me- it’s a plan, probably a useless plan!

Have the best day you can 🙂

4.9 this morning. The lowest its been for a month. So BG doing ok.

My problem this morning was getting any blood from any finger! My hands were warm, but no blood. In the end I had to up the lancet setting to 5 (usually its 3). Stung a bit.

Anyone got any advice on how to get blood more easily?

Set the lancet on 6? Anything less doesn’t work for me.
 
A 5.4 for me at 07:37 this morning. Second one in a row. Bit of a dreary day in West Berks this morning, matching the gloom of the country. At least I don't have the prospect of 6:00am starts looming. School sent out pick up and drop off times yesterday which I carefully printed off and pinned to the kitchen notice board. Bit of a waste of time really....

Stay safe everyone and together we'll get through this
 
A nice 5.3 this morning, I had a twiddle with my pump ratio last night an it seems to have improved my morning BG, down from 8’s so we will see how it goes for the next few days
Have a great day everyone!!
 
After some very nice level nights the DF popped in last night, and left a hypo for me!!
After JBs woke at 3.8, and had a couple more hypos this morning.
The DF has decided to settle in for the day, and you can’t just ignore her!!!
It could be asa simple as it is a lot warmer today.

Deccies all down now and the tree stripped and ready to go to the tip, when we can.
The absence of all that now shows me how long ago it is since we cleaned properly, but then there will be no one coming round for a while...
 
Good afternoon folks 5.9 on a lovely but cold day.

Been to the Doc this morning a very nice young female who put me through the works including prostrate.😱 😎

Picked up a heart murmur being scanned on Friday she phoned the hospital while I was there, full bloods
on Monday with the surgery DN and a foot tickly and usual tests, a few other problems too.

And so life changes again not unexpected, March which year? don`t book any holidays folks here or abroad,
virtual holidays have gone up in price depends which flight simulator you use, suppose you could nick one of
the many cruise liners parked in the bay (Torbay) because they are blocking my view to France.

If you have faith stick with it, if not doesn`t matter but have faith in yourselves to pull your families through these
uncertain times, bless you all and keep very safe.

Hi @KARNAK I must be not too far away from you! Can't see the boats out the window though.
I was a 9 again this morning, def have DP can keep it steady during the day and am trying various things to stop it rising suddenly in the mornings.. Not much to report as it feels like everything has ground to a halt again. Will be talking to the diabetic team next week.
Sorry to hear of all of your struggles. I want to reply to everyone but am just being useless myself.

Oh Ted, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth from the NHS! Hope they get you sorted out. Take care. PS I’ve stayed upright today and no, it was just mud mud. No coos or hosses up the lonning!

Hi my friend I`m in Paignton right on the sea front, nobody is useless and you don`t need to reply to everyone,
are you testing before you put your feet on the floor? test in bed first you`ll probably get a better reading but your
overnight Basal may just need a bit of tweaking, talk to your team next week where do you meet them? Ted
 
Good evening all. I've run out of strips but they are on their way according to ebay. I wish we got them on repeat meds. Difficult getting anything now though, there's a few things I don't get that I used to have no problem with. Did anybody watch Casualty and Pandemonium? Excellent programmes featuring the dreaded virus. Fictional but seemed very real. Hope you've all had a good day.
 
@Ditto we recorded Casualty and watched in on Sunday night, was nearly crying about Noel! xx

How do you wash your hands?
Click to expand...
why would you need to? If you've been in bed all night and not touched anything then hand washing isn't really needed, as hypo sufferer's do you think we have time to wash our hands each time we feel low? 15 minutes later to see if we're back up in range? and so on, hand washing isn't the first thing that springs to mind and that's coming from someone with contamination OCD

Me too. :( He was my fave character.

I seriously thought they were referring to Dylan as you'd seen him in a hospital bed so was so shocked! xx
