Group 7-day waking average?

Morning good peeps. :D

What a beautiful day yesterday...hopefully, today’s cloudy ugly duckling will blossom into a sunny swan. The wood for the lean-to / arbour / bus stop - I don’t know what to call it, patio covered area is a bit of a mouthful :D - is being delivered today. Roll on the garden NOT being a building site!

(((Hugs))) to everyone struggling today, especially you and your wife @Gwynn.
 
Morning All
A 5.1 for me today, on waking at 07:30. Lower than expected as at 23:00 it was 5.9.
but Heigh ho with inaccurate meters different test strips and even blood being not properly mixed what’s it matter!
Looks good, so let the scientists worry.
@Michael12421 That result looks better than passed days.
have a great Wednesday everyone.
 
5.3 for me today. 🙂

Dez
 
Ooops. 10.9 now. I have been up a couple of hours now so it is a bit of DP, but also pump bleeped for a hypo in night which I treated without testing as I didn’t want to wake OH for help. Any ideas one one handed testing? Now looking at the graph it is weird and takes a sudden nose dive to hypo land.

I hope you have a better day today @Gwynn
welcome back @Hazel and with a HS.
 
Good morning everyone have a happy hump day 🙂

6:58am - 5.8 finger prick - waking - 21 units of tresiba - bit earlier than usual so hope it's ok to take my tresiba a bit earlier - does anyone know?
22:56pm - 4.8 finger prick - bedtime - BGL below 8mmol so decided to eat something which was 1 tesco digestive biscuit and one or 2 pieces of tesco extra mature cheddar cheese - 9g of carbs - MySugr Bolus Advisor advised no insulin needed
19:21pm - 7.6 finger prick - teatime
In between teatime and bedtime had a virtually carb free snack of 2 slices of tesco mediterranean meat, 2 or 3 slices of smoked german cheese, rest of tinned red salmon and a bit of mayonnaise
 
Morning all. A 5.2 for me at 06:12 this morning. It has been a while since I had an HS 🙂

Very cloudy/foggy first thing but it has now burnt off to a lovely sunny day with blue skies I think we had better make the most of it before the thunderstorms arrive this evening.

Have a good day everyone, especially you @Gwynn I can't imagine how hard things must be for you at the moment
 
@adrian1der congrats on your HS and @Hazel sorry I missed yours yesterday, you’ve come back in fine form lol x
@eggy and @Maca44 thanks for your wishes. Fortunately my mum got to see her children married and all the grandchildren, though one of them was born only 2 weeks before she passed. I can now look back just with love and remember all the good times and I see a lot of her personality in my own daughter. They were all too young but we must be happy for the years we did have them, some pass a lot younger.
@Michael12421 good to see a better reading this morning. Hope your jab went ok and you are feeling ok today.
 
@SueEK
Actually my second jab is tomorrow but I simply cannot drive as I am too unwell, a danger to myself and others.
Luckily a friend who knows that I have been unwell for several days has offered to pick me up, take me to Baeza and bring me back afterwards. I feel so strange at the moment, just like a hypo but it is not, Yesterday afternoon I took Missy for a walk, got home feeling unsteady and generally washed out. Reading was 8.7 so I decided to have a nap at 4pm. Woke up at 7am this morning!
 
Afternoon all. 8.3 for me, boiling and puce.

Been proper crabby lately due to feeling poorly but much better now. I don't think there was any need for Mum's "The Kraken awakes!" when I went into the bedroom, the cheeky mare. :D
 
I ended up calling in sick today. I got up, had my shower, dried my hair and then just sat there staring at my makeup and all the energy had just gone. I’ve been feeling off for weeks now with the high levels etc. Just felt like a lead weight, headachey, upset tummy and decided nah! Not today. I feel bad but I had a good lie in while Mr merrymunky looks after the baby!
 
Phew!! Its been a hot one today!

@SueEK, @eggyg and @Maca44, June seems to be not a great month for us. My dad died 37 years ago on Friday, before i met my hubby. I wish he could have met him, and my girls. He was only 49 when he died. I'm now 8 years older than he got to. Commiserations to you all, lets try and remember the good times.

@mum2westiesGill, there is leeway with Tresiba as its a longer lasting insulin.

@merrymunky, sometimes you just need a day. I hope you're feeling a bit better.
 
Well it was a 6.6 for me this morning at 5.03am which I was pretty happy with but it rather went down hill from there. Got all my animals done, showered and changed and horse loaded up and on the road to Edinburgh just before 8am and broke down on the A68 about 15 miles from home with horse, trailer and carriage on the back. Managed to get a farmer friend to come and recover us and the trailer and horse with his pick up and then been back and forwards with my car trying to fix it and eventually Ian effected a roadside replacement and just got home. I am absolutely shattered and I have done nothing all day!
