Group 7-day waking average?

[Robin]

Morning all, 5.1 here. Load of pruning in the garden + Pizza for evening meal cancel each other out and produce a perfect evening and overnight chart.
I spent the first three nights of my new sensor crawling along in the red, @Northerner, I was contemplating calling Abbott when it suddenly settled, but annoyingly it’s ruined my time in Target!

 

[Bloden]

What were you doing in your sleep @Northerner LOL - you’ve got yerself a Loch Ness Monster there! 😳 🙂

If it’s a sunny day like yesterday I might be tempted out into the garden - lots of tidying up to do, and the crocuses and snowdrops are beginning to poke thru......pruning and a pizza @Robin, I might give it a go!

 

[ColinUK]

Curious 6.1 this morning. I say curious as I’m 20hrs fasted and I’d have expected it to be comfortable in the 5’s.
Maybe something to do with stress and lack of sleep I guess.

Morning all and 4.9 for me.

Have a good day everyone.

 

[SaraKaya]

5.3 for me! Which was remarkable as I had some chippys!! I was good and did my maths, had Mayo and vinegar at the ready and off I went!
I am off to work in a mo it’s Romans today and a bit PSHE so I reckon that adds up to a sword fight and hobby horse race around the lounge to recreate the hipppdrome!!!
@Gwynn dont like spread sheets!
@Kaylz biscuits are always the answer!
behave out there everyone!
Sara ( can I get away with a toga do you think or is that unprofessional?)

7.7 here.
Can't see beyond the window it's that foggy!
Yesterday I finally remembered to take the binoculars on our morning walk. As we started two tractors with hedge flailers attached went by scuppering any chances of seeing anything vaguely wild as they thrashed the heck out of all the fields we walk past. It all looked very messy and sad as we walked home. A local big house is also having all it's big trees ' pruned' with chain saws which just added to the non peace!! So sad. Only the day before we had heard and seen a woodpecker in the very tree that is now a wood pile and chippings!
I hope you all can take some joy in what comes your way today x

 

[Kaylz]

Morning folks

@ColinUK refund very possible but doubt the replacement, should have some sort of response today

@Veenorthants and @SaraKaya thanks for the biscuit support, as I say I don't have the luxury of adjusting basal on an hourly basis nor the luxury of a basal that I can adjust at the drop of a hat, my basal needs are higher throughout the day presumably because the more the day goes on the more my anxiety and stress levels go up so I manage how I know to and what works! Grrr lol

Anyways it was a 6.6 for me and yes I had biscuits last night
xx

 

[MAC2020]

A 5.3 for me this morning. Had a late birthday meal last night!

 

[eggyg]

Blimey! I leave you for half a day and look what happens. Anyhoo, 5.8 for me. Sorry I missed your birthday @MAC2020, belated many happy returns. @ColinUK woo hoo, get in there! @MeeTooTeeTwo luckily I don’t rely on Alexa to do anything but put the radio on. I’m a dinosaur! I am always unfailingly polite to her and Siri, good manners cost nothing. @grovesy have you ever seen the sketch with the two Scots in the voice activated lift asking for floor eleven? It makes me cry with laughter. Google it, I’m too much of a dinasaur to find it and somehow miraculously send you a link! Have a good day everyone, I’ll try and check in later but I do have a life you know! Not much of a one at the moment but I’m trying to keep up the pretence! 😉

That’s very sad. It’s almost nesting time, where are the birds supposed to go to? Mr Eggy isn’t allowed to touch our hedges and trees until well into the autumn when I’m 100% certain there’s no babies there, and even then it’s a tidy up, no flailing allowed.

Morning all an OK 7.2 and a flat line all night. I'm thinking of ditching the MM670G pump so I was doing some insomnia research and discovered the MM670 will only try to hold my BG at 6.6 (hence the hovering around the 6's and 7's) but it basically has its hands tied so to speak because it can only play with tiny amounts of basal adjustments or stop insulin all together so it can control the hypo's, which I dont really have, but can do nothing about high BG, not even a correction is possible, I have to do a Bolus, so while the pump therapy is fantastic for me, (90%+ time in range) the MM670 is not for me. I have a meeting with the Ypsopump rep this morning and I'm seeing the rep for Tslim tomorrow to try and decide the direction to go, another pain is the sensor, every change day it takes so long to get everything in order again including about 10 finger pricks in the first 24 hours, the Dexcom 6 seems much more slick in comparison and best of all no finger pricks

 

[Maca44]

4.5 and a real nice deep sleep.

 

[adrian1der]

A 5.7 for me this morning at 06:50

Cat is fed and asleep on our bed, chickens are out and fed, son is fed, in his uniform and settled with his laptop for school, kitchen cleaned and dishwasher on and now I'm in the office on this foggy West Berkshire morning. Another day of video conference calls.

Someone posted a picture of their log burner the other day. Mine has a built in cat attachment. At least he is always there when it is lit. He appears magically the instant the match hits the fire lighters.

Have a good day everyone

I took my wife to the hospital last evening for her covid jab and it was too late for me to start cooking so she suggested a Chinese takeaway. Big mistake. Not having had any Chinese food for possibly a couple of years I was really looking forward to it. Not only was it very disappointing (tasteless) but I had my highest ever 10.9 after two hours. Down to 8.2 before going to bed and 6.3 this morning. Lesson learned.

Virtual smack on your butt, lesson learned, now wright down, I don't want a Chinese takeaway 100 times.

 

[adrian1der]

Nothing special planned for today but looking forward to tomorrow when England take on India in the cricket, then the weekend with the Six Nations rugby kicking off, followed by the Australian Open tennis. My three favourite sports - I'm going to be spoilt for choice.

Have a good day, everyone.

Martin

Test cricket and Six Nations rugby - should be an exciting weekend. Not a tennis fan I'm afraid...

3.6 for me this morning and I was in the red for most of the night. Hypo Heros were on duty but didn't quite win the battle. My own fault as I got frustrated last night after a single 10g carb biscuit at bedtime took me from 4.3 to 10.4.... @Kaylz.... I have the opposite problem with biscuits.... arrgh!! Anyway, despite having increased my daytime Levemir by another unit I was still needing corrections all day yesterday and that bedtime reading was pretty much the only in range reading I had all day... only to be blighted by a biscuit.... so I increased my evening basal up to 6units (from 4.5 yesterday) since I didn't get out for exercise yesterday. I knew it was probably pushing it a bit but I was so sick of being high. Woke up at 2.55am with a sensor reading of LO which certainly got my heart racing even if the finger prick said I was just 3.1... still not good. Very conscious not to over treat and be back up to 10 I probably undertreated and whilst Libre showed I didn't really come out of the red, my finger prick showed I did but dipped back again. Not the best night!
Having got out of bed on 3.6 this morning without treating, my levels rose into the 6s due to Foot on the Floor within 10 mins, so headed off to feed and muck out and they stayed lovely and steady until I came home for breakfast, jabbed myself 3 units for black pudding, bacon,2 small eggs, mushrooms and salad (incl. 2 cherry tomatoes) and now heading up to 10 again.... Arghh! Just can't seem to spend much time in range at the moment! Think I might crawl into bed and have a couple of hours catch up and hope my levels come down whilst I sleep.

@ColinUK The guy has taste after all! Keep us posted. Hope you have that excited fluttery feeling in your stomach!!

@Michael12421 Hope you are back up into better readings now.

@HenryBennett You maybe didn't make the best choice from the menu but don't let it put you off experimenting with Chinese. We used to get Char sui (or duck sometimes) with ginger and spring onion, a portion of fried rice and a portion of stir fried veg between us. I would have all the veg, a bit of the main dish and a couple of dessert spoons of the rice to soak up the juice on my plate and that worked really well for me and was tasty.

Oh, I got my vaccination invitation yesterday. (I somehow got categorised for shielding which totally embarrasses me
as I am fit and healthy). Can't decide whether to wait until my local GP surgery offer it to me or book it and head out to a vaccination hub. I feel that attending my local GP surgery would be safer as I know the staff and set up there and it is all very well organised and I am low risk in my lifestyle so don't feel it is urgent that I get it immediately but then I wonder if I should travel further afield and leave the local surgery appointments for people who don't have their own transport...

@SueEK and @rebrascora Thanks levels moved up rapidly after a small breakfast

No I have not seen.

 

[Bazzlejet]

Good morning all - 6.2 this morning. Had some basmati rice last night, seemed to have very little effect, so think this may be a little treat for me every now and then 😉

@rebrascora that dosent sound great, hope you are back on track soon.

Have a great day everyone 🙂

I’d say go to the vaccination hub. From what I’ve heard and seen from others they are very well run and very safe.
