Group 7-day waking average?

Oh my goodness, that's terrible. :(

Honestly it’s pretty routine for my lot.
Grandparents had ten siblings in mums side and great grandparents had a similar number each. There’s lots of us. Lots and lots.

8.1 this morning (forgot to take Metformin yesterday evening
busy morning this morning around the house (currently off work furloughed)
just tested 5.4 ready for lunch which is a relief

Missing a dose of metformin one evening won’t likely have much impact on the waking levels I’d think.
 
00:56 BS 6.2 🙂 Reduced midnight LR -4!

Yesterday was a day of hopping on toes until midday LR went in & even then, I still kept an eye on things! o_O Breakfast went ok, I think, as I reduced NR by -10, to be on the ultra safe side, since the too high a dose of LR was already in so, I suspected it would be high after & indeed it was at 04: 26 BS 16.1 but, didn’t panic or correct as I knew basal would take care of that: just to WHAT degree, I didn’t know? 09:09 BS 5.0: definitely hypo if I’d corrected & my instinct to go ultra conservative with NR was right!😱 Then, I was surprised when I tested just before going to cook an early lunch, 10:26 BS 4.2, felt nothing but, too close to the wire so, scrapped a cooking & poured myself a glass of coke & ate a Belvita breakfast biscuit: I don’t eat those very often as they tend to spike my BS; but, good in heading off hypos as it’s filling enough without having to cook; the act of cooking CAN, & has, resulted in me going hypo! That was well dodged as I didn’t get a hypo racing heart which I HATE!🙂 That’ll have to do for a “Phew!” emoji! Then, midday LR went in as usual, no reduction, & not long after I went to bed as I was tired by getting up SO early!

I did wake briefly, call of nature, & tested just to keep an eye on things 20:29 BS 7.0 & nodded off again until midnight alarm! I’ve just eaten breakfast & the after test may be high too after the reduced LR dose but, again I won’t correct until I see what’s what: usually after breakfast is high anyway after dose reductions & takes time to settle; past experience tells me if in range it CAN lead to hypos later in the day! o_O I can almost leave out the after breakfast test, really, as it’s almost always high but, I like to test in case I’m near target range which tells me I need to keep an eye on things as I COULD go even lower later?🙄

A very early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Edited to add:- * Oh! Better add an edit to be clear! I only reduced breakfast NR dose -10 temporarily to counter the too high LR dose & went back up to normal NR dose this morning! Incidentally, since I’m adding this edit, after breakfast was indeed high 04:32 BS 12.2 but, I know will settle down as the day goes on & tomorrow as I get used to the reduced LR! 🙂

Morning all,
A 6.2 this morning, slightly blustery outside.
Speaking to a couple last night over zoom who have both had Covid, seems to be taking ages for them to recover and they are still not back at work. This wretched virus...!

Hope y'all have a good day!

Blessings Snowwy
 
A very good but chilly, windy morning here in Lytham.

5.1 this morning. I was hoping for another 5.2, perhaps even 5 in a row. But is not to be!

Weight is down to 65.9Kg. I am on the final Kg towards my goal. Yessss!

Covi 19 jab tomorrow. I wonder if that will mess up the BG readings for a while.
 
Good Morning
6.6 @ 6:30
 
Many congratulations on getting the hat trick yesterday @Gwynn but please don't be greedy!
It was my turn for an HS today! (Sorry @Michael12421 and @SueEK.... I know you guys would love to get one!)

As you can see it was preceded by a rather naughty dip into the red which took 2 treatments to bring up so I fully expected to be nearer 8 on waking. I guess the effects of my Covid Vaccine are wearing off. Only used 4 units of Levemir last night but I was still using 20u during the day yesterday so will cut that to 18 today and probably just 2u tonight. Feeling fine this morning though despite my hypo. Hoping for another lovely fine day so that I can get on top of a few jobs and maybe get on a horse or two now that most of the snow has gone. We still have some whopping drifts up the sides of the road in places!
 
Morning. Another 5.5. I’m consistent if nothing else. Must have been a mild night as I’ve not slept very well, really hot and sweaty, covers off, covers on. Sounds like a scene from The Karate Kid! Anyways, I feel whacked and we’ve a big walk planned, 15 miles today! Most of it through mud no doubt. Part of it will take us along the Hadrian’s Wall Walk, do you know we have never done it and it runs through our city? Shameful! Hoping to spot some otters today. Fingers crossed oh and a kingfisher too if what we’ve been told is true. Have a good day. 🙂
Congratulations @rebrascora on your hard earned HS.
 
Morning all. 4.8 for me today. 🙂

Morning all, 8.2 here, getting back to normal I think. I felt better around 4pm yesterday afternoon, like, suddenly better, it was weird, having felt tired all morning (and I actually dozed off after lunch). I more or less doubled my insulin yesterday too, so I was cautious with basal last night.
 
Morning all. :D 5.8 here, with the aid of some JBs overnight. 12units of Tresiba is too much, especially if I’m going to be attackling (attacking + tackling = nice tidy garden) the garden next week.😛

The mud @eggyg! After a walk in the woods and a stroll along the beach, the dogs look like they’ve been delicately pebble-dashed. o_O

Glad to hear you’re feeling better @Robin.
