Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.7.
On my own as the tribe ( Mr Eggy included) still in bed. It’s pure bliss! Although I love my grandchildren dearly, it’s hard work entertaining four children of very different ages. 2 x 14 year olds, an 8 year old and a three year old. We did take them train spotting yesterday, an almost six mile walk with minimum complaints. They actually all quite enjoyed it, the two little ones were very excited. Today may be difficult as it’s raining at the moment and forecast to continue. I suspect my WiFi may take some bashing! Oops, heard movement. Ah well, my peace is shattered! 😉

Have a fab day. I’ll mostly be feeding children. 🙂
 
Morning all, 6.2 today. Party went well despite the intermittent showers. I have attached a couple of pics. Need to get down Sainsbury’s early as my stepfathers 70th today and offered to make the sandwiches. He has a band booked at a nearby pub, they have an outdoor area. Not sure I feel up to listening to a loud band, or making bucketloads of sandwiches to be honest but hey ho. Hope you all have a good day x

Sorry don’t know why they didn’t come up as thumbnail photos,,
 
Morning. 5.5 when I woke ....but then I was cycling through the forest in quite unsuitable clothing, to get to a sports centre, that isn’t in the forest....stopping at places that aren’t in this county let alone the forest...ended waiting to get into a cinema in London with my daughter....woke again to 9.7 boo! I feel more tired now than I did when I first woke up. I must learn to get up when alarm goes off and not think that I’ll just stay for a minute. Hey ho.

Sounds like you’ll be at the supermarket tomorrow for a restock @eggyg🙂

Have a good day everyone
 
4.3 this morning, taking my mum to see her grandson, my nephew and his baby that she has only seen a couple of time since she was born in Jan 2020, hubby has offered to drive us as my bloods are low, which I appreciate although I am sure I will be up to 5 by 9.30.

Followed by Watching tie Monaco Grand Prix and making hubby a lemon drizzle cake for his birthday tomorrow.

Second Covid jab at 5pm today.

Hope you all have a great Sunday.

Here it is. Don't know what the next project is yet but on her way to see family up in Bedfordshire today she's stopping off at a reclamation place in Milton Keynes, so no doubt she'll be bringing something back.

Lovely .... I wonder what goodies the reclamation yard had 🙂
 
Morning all, 5.7 here. Went to a garden centre yesterday afternoon with my son, for my Mother’s Day treat. Mother’s day 2020, that is, he still owes me another one. (And yes, I did have a large slice of orange cake, and yes I did peak at round about 12.5 on the Libre). Didn’t get to look round the plants, as the heavens opened big time the minute we got there and stayed open. Drove back home afterwards, all of 5 miles, to find OH with watering can in hand, watering the pots. We hadn’t (and didn’t) have a drop at home.
 
5.7 at 08:10 and an average of 5.5 over the last week. I blame Eurovision.
 
Morning all it’s a 6.8

Lovely seeing my Mum but crikey a lot of hard work as we’re emptying all extraneous stuff for her house sale as she’s moving near us. Just call me Flower the oven cleaner/freezer de-froster /garden weed destroyer (I hope they were weeds!) and lob in 2 hypos for the fun factor.

Glad your party went well @SueEK ,I’m surprised you weren’t hypo after all that cycling in your dream @Lisa66 !

Have a good day 🙂
 
Morning all, happy Sunday. Breezy and chilly here but rain is holding off so I'm in the garden, sortov, I'm that crook now the new plan is 10 to 15 minutes in the garden, come in on the laptop and then get back out as soon as feel up to it! Good grief. Sticking to the liquid diet, killing me, could cry for want of comfort food because I'm such a saddo.
:D


Did y'all see Monty on Gardener's Wolrld? Carex was featured! He said it's a woodland plant but also a marginal. Yeah right, the bugger will grow anywheres!
(rofl)
I am going to try some in the pond then.

The garden is such a mess, can't believe how bad it is and always too wet to get out there. Wanted it nice for my birthday bbq when the piggles all descend and wreck it anyways.
:)
Last year Halle Mae came in with treasures, ie all my plant labels. I still don't know what half of them are. So funny.

Have a lovely day y'all. Only watched Euro on Gogglebox, I have no attention span these days and Gogglebox gives me just enough of everything, especially if it's tensing.
:)
Or possibly boring.

Disgusted at certain peoples this morning, what part of 'forged bank statements' is not a prison sentence?
:-X


Oh yeah, 7.5 @ 5.16 def going for a nap later... I am hankering for balloons for my birthday now. Lovely.
 
Morning all. 6.9 for me after a 4am 2u correction, probably caused by delayed reaction to profiteroles. Naughty but nice.

Hoping to get a decent walk in this afternoon so fingers crossed the rain stays away.

@SueEK, glad your party went ok. Lovely photos.

Have a good day everyone.
 
7.9 for me but once again it involved a correction a couple of hours earlier. I ate very late last night.... bit of a midnight feast by the time I got back from the yard and put the oven on to cook something.... with it being light I lose track of time and it was a lovely evening... was quite shocked when the church clock opposite my stables struck 10 and not 9!. Anyway my sausage, belly pork cauli mash and broccoli was delicious but the protein kicked in this morning needing that correction. Managed to keep things in range though (caught it at 9.7) so I am happy about that. I have also managed to get my hypo figure down to 3% for the last 7 days so making progress on that front too.

@khskel Those are amazing TIR figures... Just WOW! Shame about your compression hypo blotting them but it's an error on the system, not a failure on your part. Still annoying though.

@rikedwards Welcome to the thread. Hope you stick around and become a regular and we get to learn a bit more about you as a result. As you will see from reading other posts here on the thread, waking readings can be a bit all over the place for some of us. The important thing is that we try to improve our overall diabetes management with a view to getting them consistently in target. It can be tricky but stick at it.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

Today it's my daughter Claire's 31st birthday - we're having my in laws over and having a buffet and birthday cake - which although I'm nervous about having buffet food I'm going to have and some birthday cake too

7:26am - 4.2 - waking this morning
00:16am - 6.5 - before bed

Re 4.2 this morning - I've reduced my Tresiba background insulin once again to try and stop all the morning 4s

Re 6.5 before bed - I also tested at 23:18pm - bg was 6.9 - I had wensleydale cheese sandwich on 1 round of hovis - 1.8 cp or 18g of carbs

Please comment on my bgs 🙂
 
Morning all, 8.5 for me today. Me and Trev went out for a lovely meal last night at the local steakhouse. Was great to have a couple of cocktails, a lovely steak and a cheeky pudding. Got a couple of bags of rocks yesterday so might get my paints out later.

4.5 after 10hr sleep was very busy yesterday converting home with smart switches/sockets so now I just say "Alexa" turn the garden fountain on or garden lights while sitting on my ass, did do the indoor lights as well. Just need it to cook my dinner now but don't think that is going to work.

I think another basal reduction is a good call. It's not an ideal situation having to have a sandwich every night at bedtime just to keep you from hypoing overnight and still waking up in the 4s, so trying another reduction in your Tresiba makes a lot of sense.
