Group 7-day waking average?

6.1 for me on this Monday morning.
 
Morning all. A very shameful snd worrying 15.3 for me. My first prick test in weeks snd I wish I hadn’t looked. How on earth do I get that down? It’s going to stay sky high all day.

This is the problem I was having a few weeks back when I was trying to get it down. I was waking with highs and just not able to get it down all day. No wonder I don’t feel great. I hate this.
 
Morning. A 6.1 for me too.

A very hot day at daughters yesterday. Fortunately the traffic fairies were with us...we passed incredible queues of traffic heading to the coast and then we passed them again on our (their) way home. Some people must have had a very long day...I’m guessing the beaches and forest must have been packed.

Have a lovely day everyone.
 
Morning all, 5.7 on my new shiny bright Libre 2, 4.8 on my old Libre sensor which I'm overlapping for its final 24hrs just to see how they compare. They’ve been consistently 1mml apart, except overnight when they’d got 2 apart. I wondered if my old one was slowly fading away, but it’s rallied again this morning. I’ve put the full results here.
 
A high 6.8 this morning, probably as I had toast for tea after my blissful 2.5hrs of yoga.

Congratulations on your HS @MeeTooTeeTwo

How has Monday come round so quick again.

Me modelling the new T-shirt and trainers my son bought me, only did just over 3 miles yesterday due to the heat.

Aw, @merrymunky I really feel for you. 😳 Can you speak to someone at your surgery?

They’d probably just tell me off and to crack on. I honestly don’t even know what to put in my mouth today. Not for breakfast anyway. That’s the meal I find hardest to deal with since I don’t eat things like eggs, avocado or porridge. Hence trying the full fat Greek yoghurt with berries.

Morning all and a 6.2 for me.

Telephone appointment with haematology this afternoon. No specific time given just PM.

Covid test tomorrow morning and isolation until colonoscopy Friday morning.

Have a good day everyone.
 
6.0 for me this morning. Not too bad considering I went for a walk yesterday evening in a hope I’d tire myself out and sleep.
Walked about 12 miles and got home at 2am. Showered and bed.
Woke up at 4am and been wide awake since.
Tidied up some balcony plants. Prepared cauliflower cheese tuna bake (it’s literally just a very cheesy cauliflower cheese with added tuna!) so I can whack it in the oven later. Duolingo lessons done. Tennis played (online!). I’ve even done ironing so now I’m off to do some garden maintenance at a friends place whilst they’re away.

How about mushrooms or tomatoes with grated cheese, you could add some seeds to your yoghurt.
 
Happy Monday All,
I know we don’t like Mondays, but the weekend is coming, just like Christmas and the snow.
A 5.5 here for me this morning, obviously not helped by exercise last night, dropping to 5.0 before bed so had 2 crackers and coffee so it wouldn’t fall overnight.
Giving up on science being accurate measurements.
Do exercise, Do eat health or do this do that.
Weight up by a pound. Could be fluid.
Meters that don’t read accurately or test strips different.
my body that either puts insulin into system from a duff pancreas that works in “stits and farts”.
A liver that may release sugar if it wants.
I’ll take it as it comes and record results.
Applications accepted for a team of phd students to do life time work on a “Dunk”.
This species is so much of an Individual that it will baffle science for years to come.
However feel well, so stay safe everybody.
Sorry about comedy ramblings.

I don’t eat mushrooms. As I say, I’m really fussy with foods. It’s not a case of just not liking some things much (like natural Greek yoghurt, I don’t really like it but I will eat it with berries snd is just ok) but things like mushroom and egg I really can’t stomach. I’d be sick trying to eat them. Doesn’t make things easy eh?

I used to eat a packet of quorn chicken style slices for breakfast a lot of the time as it kept sugars down but it’s the least appetising breakfast ever!
 
Good morning all.

6.4 this morning . Not bad as arm was a bit throbby in the night having decided to stop the oromorph.
Bearable after a day of doing too much yesterday. A lazier day today.

@merrymunky i can’t remember whether you were on insulin before. Would it be worth asking about that to help get levels down especially as you are feeling so rough. That might help you feel better as the levels come down and so find it easer to manage. I suspect a nurse faced with someone wanting to sort this will work with you rather than moan about what has passed.
 
7.5 for me this morning which is again disappointing considering that I upped my basal again last night and took another correction for a 10 at bedtime, but at least no corrections needed through the night and I slept well.

@MeeTooTeeTwo Congrats on another House Special Dez.

@merrymunky Well done on psyching yourself up to doing a test. I think at that level you probably need to be asking for help through medication, to at least give you a start. I know you are frightened that the nurse will be judgmental, but if he/she is, then that reflects more on his/her poor ability to support people and they should be ashamed not you. In the mean time drink plenty of water to flush that glucose out and good to read that you have hunted your gym gear out ready to hit the road with Eris for some fresh air and exercise. Go girl!
