Group 7-day waking average?

Got the all clear at 04:15. Going home & sitting in waiting room as there isn’t a taxi until 05:00! Dead hungry & only coffee, water, sweets & crisps! REALLY don’t want to cook so, 2 bags of crisps from machines: not the best breakfast; just something in my stomach for 6am LR & NR! Will crash & probably not post until later in the evening by the time I wake!

GP was very concerned about Heart damage after over a week of high heart rate & 3 lots of blood tests were done to test for damage to my other organs too, all negative & blood clot ruled out! Rate dropped to 90 while dozing: only about 8/9 but, DID drop; A&E NOT relaxing with beeps, shrills etc of monitors! Hopefully will drop further at home? I was highly stressed all night while I was in there for 12 hours!

A Very Good Morning to you all, coming up & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 Only because it’s for you lovely lot AND a stream of z’s emoji, eventually as I have another 20 minyti wait for taxi!
 
Another early one for me. 5.2 at 05:10.

@Lanny I hope you’re now back home and in bed after all that overnight trauma.
 
Ooh! Nice HS @HenryBennett 😛😎😉

Just in the door! Headt racing but, should calm down, eat 39g bag of Pringles, didn’t know they come in tiny bags, & a packet of Tayto, you should know THEM as we’re both in NI, insulin, NR & LR & bed! But, have asda shopping at 12:00 to 14:00. Need that as I’m almost out of food: 4 bags of instant ramen, water & raspberry cordial; back to bed after shopping is put away! So, sleeping is going to be off kilter yet again! 🙄

Yes, good old Taytos, but I’ve not eaten a single crisp since my diagnosis 😎
 
Good morning 7.0 today

so yesterday off work back to eye hospital, I was quite concerned yesterday following eyelea injections
as seeing black buttons dancing round in my field of vision in my left eye,
on checking thoroughly they confirmed nothing of concern, just air bubbles I’m hoping they dissipate later today, they are still there but today they have stopped dancing around so much or maybe my brain is gett used to seeing them
I've had a floater living in one eye for a few years now, but this is totally different - more like tripping on LSD ( not that I ever did drugs) hopefully will ok to drive and be back at work tomorrow.

Have a Great Day Everybody
 
Ohhh yesss 5.2 this morning.

Woke a bit later too. Looks nice outside. I may go for a walk on the beach after breakfast.

A bad day yesterday as my wife was not well and that upset me. She thinks people are getting into the house and damaging things just to get at her. I mean, really really trivial stuff freaks her out and wears me out as she then becomes frightened to do anything or go anywhere or see anyone. Basically, when she is like that life is pretty miserable. I feel for her as I only watch and try to help. She has to live in it. Imagine living in perpetual fear with no real help. At times like that she often sees me as a threat too. Its a horrible illness.

Hence I may go for a walk just to get some relief today.

Oh, its clouding over with dark foreboding clouds!!! Honestly, I feel like Charlie Brown sometimes, with the rain cloud over my head.

Weirdly, yesterday I ate more, I mean a lot more, but lost half a kg. I wonder if my bathroom scales are playing up. I am now, according to them, too light at 59.2Kg. Target is 60Kg.

Morning. 7.1 on this rainy day ( again). Got nurses appointment at 8.30 to redo bloods from last week as potassium appears to be raised, they think it’s been a faulty sample. A bit of a nuisance as I’m back at the same surgery at 2.45 to see a GP about my ear problem. Still have a train running through it but it’s getting more frequent and my balance is all to pot. Been going on for about two months now so thought I had better see someone about it, especially now it’s accompanied by pain behind my right ear. I’m trying not to worry but.....🙄

@Lanny you've had quite the adventure haven’t you? At least they’ve dotted all the Is and crossed the Ts.
@HenryBennett congrats on your HS.

Have a wonderful Wednesday and fingers crossed for the dry and warmish weather we’ve been half promised. I’m not holding my breath! 🙂

Well done on your HS and I hope your wife is better today. Enjoy your walk, I wish I lived on the coast.
 
Morning all. 8.5 after yet ANOTHER 3am high and correction. Will be upping basal tonight. Very tired.
@Lanny, pleased you're home.
@Gwynn, congrats on the HS, I hope your wife has a better day today
@eggyg, i hope you're ok

Have a good day.
 
Goodly morning. :D Well, well, had my second jab yesterday and it’s produced a 5.2.🙂

@Lanny that’s one hell of a night. 😱I hope you catch up on all your lost ZZZZZZZs today.

We’re off to my mum’s today to celebrate her 85th birthday (she looks and acts about 65!). She’s baked a cake, my SIL has baked a cake, and her neighbour’s baked a cake...best fill the car boot with insulin, I’m going to need it.o_O😛🙂
 
Good morning from me in Filey North Yorkshire 🙂

07:07am - 5.9 finger prick - waking
22:32pm - 7.0 finger prick - bedtime - had supper cheese sandwich on 1 round of bread 18g of carbs, 1 bag of crisps 7g of carbs - no humalog

My lovely hubby has booked us a lovely hotel in Chester for the weekend - my carb counting will go to pot eating out and different foods

I would love some comments instead of just likes 🙂

Hope things stay to improve for you @Lanny soon.

Morning, 6.3 for me...no overnight Libre alarms in the night, yay.
Spent yesterday chasing off lows, even more tweaking to be done I think...although this seems to be a more dramatic change over to summertime basal doses than usual...let’s see...excuse to snack novelty is wearing off very quickly. :(

Second AZ jab yesterday.

That’s quite a day @Lanny , hope you have a calmer day today.
Good to have got some reassurance @goodybags , hope your eye settles today.
Well done to those with a HS.

Upholstery day today, it’s actually more of a social catch up really...anyway I’d better get a wiggle on, fabric to collect on the way.

Hope you all have a good day and that the sun finds its way up to Cumbria @eggyg
 
Morning all, 6.6 here, but I was 5.3 at 5am when I first woke up, and stayed out of the red overnight.
@mum2westiesGill , there’s not much to comment about.You were a good figure for going to bed on, and a good awaking figure. What it would be useful to know is what happened in between, after your unbolused for bedtime snack. Did you scan your Libre when you first woke up, and had the graph remained stable, falling gently through the night, did it peak after the snack and then fall, or did it drop sharply an then rise towards morning?
 
Morning all it’s a 5.0

Hoping things settle for you @Lanny

No face to face appointments at high risk podiatry ongoing, they’ll ring me again in July. I spoke to Diabetes UK about it but feeling quite despondent about it all. :(

Have a good time with your Mum & selection of birthday cakes @Bloden, it’s my lovely Mums birthday today as well 🙂

Have a good day out there.
