Group 7-day waking average?

No

@Ali11782 no it really isn't good to allow a hypo to carry on, for one it's dangerous and you may go lower, each hypo kills brain cells and spending too much time down low can significantly increase the risk of losing hypo awareness which is horrible, experienced it on a few occasions over the years myself, I'm not trying to scare you but please treat right away before you end up in a situation where you can't treat them yourself, I know at times it's difficult to muster up the strength to move and get things but keep them closer to you or even on you to ensure you can act appropriately, hope you aren't feeling too rough today xx

No totally not good, I kept waking up but my dextrose was just over the side of the room and I felt so weird I could get up. So it will def be next to my bed tonight
 
Morning

Well I woke to 7.1 but after a significant drop 2 days ago I decided to have 3 Lifts, good job as by breakfast I'd come down to 5.7 despite the Lifts 🙄

Bruce is really not a happy bunny, got to 2:30 yesterday afternoon and still no sign of the electrician so I told him to phone (I'd actually told him to phone earlier but he didn't listen) the lassie on Tuesday had lied and hadn't passed the job over at all so no electrician even due, the lad he spoke to said he could sort it for Friday but Bruce can't get anymore time off just now so he's now left with an unfinished job for goodness knows how long and having to flick the switch to obtain hot water
xx
 
So sorry to hear you lost your wedding ring @Maca44 :(

Hope that’s not too upsetting for you.

6.6 for me. Cloudy start here, nothing like yesterday when I got 2 loads of washing dry!

Good morning everyone 🙂

7:24am - 7.4 - waking - 19 units of tresiba
23:07pm - 4.7 - bedtime - had 4 rich tea fingers 16g of carbs, a bit of salmon and some cheese - no humalog for the biscuits

Please feel free to leave me some feedback 🙂

Update to my earlier post
At bedtime my MySugr bolus adviser advised to do 1 unit of insulin for the biscuits - my DSN's advice is if I'm under 8mmol at bedtime to have 15g to 20g of carbs with no insulin - as you can see I went with my DSN's advice - also as you can see I woke on 7.4 which is a nice number and within my target range of 5mmol - 8mmol - did I do right or wrong?
 
@mum2westiesGill seen as you woke higher and not hypo I think you know yourself you did the correct thing, taking insulin would defeat the purpose of having biscuits to bring you up a bit and keep you "safe" overnight like I mentioned yesterday

Good morning. Dark, wet this morning but not too cold. Sadly I can't get out to exercise early this morning as I have to wait in for an installer to come and install two replacement cupboard doors in the kitchen.

However, good news, BG this morning 5.2 yessss !!!!

A good start.

Hmm I can no longer wear my wedding ring as it just falls off every time now.

Many years ago I lost a lot of weight and the same thing happened only it dropped off when at the beach. It took a whole, but with very very careful digging and sorting through the sand where we were sitting I eventually found it again . Lesson learned. Although I'm not quite sure what that lesson was... 🙂

Congratulations on the HS! 🙂

Morning all. 6.3 at 7am, dozed off again and woke at 8am, 5.9! Just had a wonderful hotel breakfast overlooking Lake Windermere, Cumberland sausage ( of course) hash brown, poached egg and a slice of black pudding all washed down with copious cups of tea and a round of toast. That’ll be me ‘til tonight. Although I will take emergency snacks for our walk up Gummer’s How. 😛

Bit misty over the fells but very mild and still, sunny intervals forecast for this afternoon. We’ve been to this hotel a dozen times and although it’s still wonderful, Covid restrictions have put a dampener on things. The personal touch isn’t there obviously, the craic at the dinner table or at the bar is no longer a feature. No bread trolley before dinner, where they cut the bread of your choice for you. Now just a generic roll given to you with tongs from a basket. Luckily, we can still use the pool. Also the gym ( ha ha that’ll never happen), sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi as long as no one else is in! #firstworldproblems 😉

Have a great day all, I’m off to climb a fell, after my huge breakfast has digested! 😳

Congratulations @Gwynn and @Hazel on your HSs. 🙂

Morning all. 9.7 @ 7.34 today. :( Seems like rushing down the bottom of the road and chucking plants in makes my blood thinner and much easier to measure but then my bg goes up. Need to take it before and after tomorrow then. At least I didn't have to rush back down after and water them all in as the heavens opened. I like rain. 🙂

Have a good day all. I am on a new laptop, hate new things, always struggle until I get used to them and Facebook have chucked me off, which might be a bit of a relief actually. :D

Only if you cancel the tattoos.
 
@Maca44 I expect to see this tattoo! Love ink me xx
 
8.9 for me this morning. My own fault.... I ate a few too many roasted peanuts last night! I really must stop buying those large bags of them that Lidl sell. I know I can't apply portion control once I open them!

Congrats to @Gwynn and @Hazel on your House Specials this morning.
 
Congrats to @Gwynn and @Hazel on the HSs. I'm joining you on the HS step with a 5.2 at 05:28 this morning.
Cloud but mild here in West Berks. Off to my son's school this afternoon to watch an outdoor production of a Midsummer Night's Dream. Then sports day at the weekend.
 
@Maca44 sorry you lost your ring. I’ve only ever had one HS and rarely get anywhere near it. Good luck with your tattoos.
Congrats @Hazel, @adrian1der and @Gwynn on your HS.
@freesia hope the weekend comes round quickly and stays for a long time lol x
 
Congratulations @Hazel , @adrian1der and @Gwynn on that elusive BG measurement.
why is it that the 5.2 step is so difficult to get?
Is it the meter companies have a conspiracy against us, hack the meters and only give that result occasionally, so that we purchase one of their products.
Or is it that Diabetes ‘Fairy’ going Hahahaha at our bodies.

Before having Diabetes I would have been upset but I now have a very different outlook on life so material things are not important to me anymore, I am important to me so although I rather I didn't loose it fact is it's just a bit of metal which I can replace :D.

Hope me wife doesn't read this.
