Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

Congratulations on the HS @rebrascora , you'd never know we'd had awful snow it's all gone now but not surprised really after the rain we've had the last couple of days! Dry at the moment though

Things are difficult at the moment, facing really stressful times, family relationship breaking down it seems as well, afternoons are just filled with anger and silence, makes the atmosphere very uncomfortable on top of the already uncomfortable feeling I go through at those times

Anyway, 6.0 for me after 4 digestives last night
xx
 
Morning everyone. A 4.3 before i got out of bed, going to 5.1 at breakfast. I think the extra half unit of Tresiba is a bit too much..ok for me being off for half term but will definitely be too much when i'm back at work. Need to monitor.
@rebrascora congratulations on the HS
@Kaylz, hope everything ok
 
Morning all a 7.2 today. @rebrascora congrats on the HS. @Ditto somsorry to hear about your friend, as you say just no age at all - sad.
Dentist and hygienist done but seems like I need a tooth extracted, this is the one they wanted £4000 to try and save, sadly a spare £4000 wasn’t available!! Am having to mull it over in my head to see if I have the guts to have it done.
Have a lovely walk @eggyg .
Thoughts are with you @Kaylz x
Have a good day all x
 
@rebrascora congrats on the HS!

And @Kaylz I hope things recover soon.

COVID jab yesterday for me, and a post jab treat.
Feel rough and aching but that’ll all pass.
BG this morning 6.4


Post jab treat:

Thanks but don't think there's a way back, things are going too far and everything we've ever done doesn't seem to matter so we won't play 2nd best to a stranger, people make their beds so they can lie in it, your treat looks absolutely delicious! I hope you enjoyed it 🙂 xx
 
@Kaylz I enjoyed every last crumb!
 
I only got my meter yesterday, and only been on 1000ml of Metformin for 1 week. Beginning of Jan blood results were 8.4. Last night after a meal I was 7.5. This morning pre-breakfast 4.8 and then 1.5 hours after bfast 5.6. I am pleased with that. As I am new to this testing. Any comments welcome!!!

1000ml of what? I take it that it's a diabetes medication? What medications are you on for it? OH and welcome 🙂 xx
 
A 5.9 for me at 07:29 on this very wet West Berks morning.

Congrats @rebrascora on the HS

@Kaylz I hope things settle down for you - sounds awful

@ColinUK looked delicious!

Have a great Thursday everyone - it's nearly the weekend 🙂

Hi @karelizco and welcome to the forum. Can you give us a bit more info? Are you type 1 or 2 or another? What medication are you on? I would be happy with those numbers.

Hi Freesia, I am Type 2 and I am on 1000ml Metformin at the moment.

There are lots of members with Type 2 on here who can advise you more than me. I would say keep testing and see what foods you are able to tolerate and which can cause a spike in blood sugar.
We are a friendly bunch on here and if you have any questions just ask. There will be someone who can advise or point you in the right direction. Equally, when you just need to have a rant about the unpredictability of diabetes.

Looks good to me and Hello :D
 
@karelizco welcome to the forum. Those figures look good to me too. Definitely test as you are new to this. Do it just before eating and then 2 hours after and there should be hopefully no more than a 2-3 rise. If it is higher than this then something that you have had does not suit you. It is then for you to find out what has raised your bg. On the other hand you may be pleasantly surprised to find there are things that don’t affect your bg, for me it is potatoes, I don’t have a big rise eating them, but rice and pasta is another story. Any questions just ask and let us know how you get on x
