Group 7-day waking average?

5.6 on this Monday morning. Have good week everyone.
 
Totally agree with you Re Teachers they have a difficult job and do it well, also the TA too.
Thanks @KARNAK and @Ditto.

Morning everyone. After a day of unexplained hypos yesterday (not had hypos for 3 weeks!), woke to a 6.5 this morning. In work today.

Have a good day all, stay safe
 
5.1 for me this am. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

6.1 for me this morning which I am delighted with.
Got out for my exercise yesterday and did 6.5 miles, part yomp, part run. Was shattered when I got back, particularly my lower back muscles which I think was as a result of trying to run on pavements thick with hard packed, uneven snow. Climbed into bed for a couple of hours nap and to warm up, then went up to evening stables at 9pm and found MeMe lame... almost certainly a hoof abscess, so had to mess on hot poulticing that and eventually had my evening meal at 11pm ish... prawn and avocado salad. Ate a whole tray of prawns as they wouldn't keep and I was banking on the protein keeping me steady all night, reduced my basal insulin by 2 units for the exercise... down to 3... and ate half a stem ginger cookie to bring my bedtime level up from 4.7 Result!! An almost horizontal line on my Libre graph over night.... Rather proud of all the calculating and tweaking to achieve that.... but of course it could just be random luck!

Unlike you @Robin, no FOTF for the second day in a row (I could get used to this) but I was watching for it this time, so haven't been caught out.

Today might be the day I climb on Rascal's back for the first time in over a year. Anyone want to lay odds on how long I will stay there??
 
Good morning 5.3 and flat line all night, I have been working all weekend so bit tired for Monday. Note to myself, take one day for myself next weekend. I did walk in my favourite woods and saw three deer so that made me very happy.

I wish you all a good day.
 
Morning

Woke to 6.3 falling to 4.3 an hour later

Didn't see Bruce much yesterday, issues with his boiler so he had to wait in on the gas man, "fixed" it and left, Bruce went through to the kitchen after using the hot tap to find another puddle forming on the worktop underneath it 🙄 he's got his annual service on Thursday so he's just leaving it till then as doesn't want to take more time off but the lad said it was well past its best and needs replacing so he was going to be informing the council

Didn't get my Dettol wipes in my Morrison's order so had to order some online, £2.99 a pack of 110 wipes from Savers, Coop want £6 a pack! 😱 ordered 6 packs

Hoping my DSN might respond to my email for request for help today, sent it on Friday but she only does 3 days a week and not sure when they are, feel so weak, haven't needed to ask for help in over 2 years :(

Morning all a nice 5.2 when I woke up today. Of to the bone doctor this morning to discuss my CT scan on the leg, I feel more surgery coming. It’s almost a year since I broke it and despite calcium and vitamin D being eaten like smarties not much progress in the healing.
Have a great day folks!!
 
Morning all. A nice 5.4, happy with that. Wet and windy today, apparently we are going to rise to the dizzy heights of 9 degrees today! -7 two days ago, don’t you just love the British weather? Ah well,it gives us something to talk about, not that I need any encouragement! Congrats on the HS @Paulbreen and good luck at the docs. Have a Happy Monday.🙂

Congratulations on waking on the nominated optimum fasting reading... AKA getting an House Special!
Hope scan results are more promising than it sounds you expect. Fingers crossed.
 
Good morning all, this is my first check in, having been diagnosed three days ago - yesterday was my first ever self test, which was 18.8, this morning was 15.3.
 
4.5 again, I'm happy wiv that, starting to settle into a routine now regarding what I can eat so feel a little more confident 🙂

Welcome. Sorry if I’ve missed it elsewhere, but what was your HbA1c when you were diagnosed and have you been offered any help by your GP?

Good to see you have joined us and you are already making progress in the right direction. Reducing those numbers slowly and steadily is the way to do it.
