Group 7-day waking average?

05:13 BS 7.0 🙂 Bang on the nose for an in target range waking reading this week! A bit of a nice surprise!😛

A bit of a swing in BS yesterday during the first half of the day with that morning LR being slightly too high: from 4.6 to 13.7 because 28 units of NR was obviously too little for breakfast but, the LR soon took care of that & it was 10.0 before lunch & I went back up a bit to 30 units NR & went to bed on 7.0 after LR went back to 78 units! It kept me steady overnight. 🙂

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

It’s too early for LR dose yet as I’ve been moving it a bit with getting up late this week & it’ll be around 07:30 or 08:00 before I’ll stick it in: in around 09:30 & 22:00 yesterday; move it back eventually to the usual 06:00 & 18:00, for me, in the next couple of days. 🙄
 
Morning all 6.6 today. Have booked myself a full body massage tomorrow and am really looking forward to it. 2 grandchildren sent home from school yesterday as one of them coughed (shock horror). All of them had a PCR test yesterday and told that even if it’s negative they have to stay at home. Can’t see the logic in that.
Have a good day all x
 
Good morning from a cloudy Lytham.

Its a good job my App has reminded me that I have carpet fitters arriving at 8 am to fit the new stairs and landing carpet. Its been without a carpet for about 5 years now. I need to wake my wife at 7am. Hope she's not too grumpy about that. And then clear the landing are of some clutter.

4.8 BG this morning.

Final big App change this morning after the carpet fitters have left - to implement meal monitoring of glycemic load across each of a days meals.

Glycemic load (having an initial look at foods and recipes) hasn't thrown up any surprises yet, but then its the overall glycemic load of the meals I am more interested in and I'm not quite there yet.

Wake up at the back there ! Oh, and the front too. 🙂
 
It’s 6.1 for me at 06:00. A good day to be in the garden. I hope the sun is shining for everyone else.

I had a quite long and interesting telephone conversation last night with an old school friend who I haven’t seen since 1977. There was a lot to talk about.
 
5.3 for me today. 🙂

Morning all. :D 5.4 here. Whatever I’m not doing differently seems to be working.😛

Knitting (in person) today, yippee. I hope there’s gossip!

Ooh lovely, pass it on!!
 
Morning all. Clickety click, 6.6. Lovely morning, just like yesterday. We went for our long walk, 7 miles. We really are bonkers, what’s that song? “ Mad dogs and English men…..”. It was blooming red hot, sweaty doesn’t come near, I was nearly melting! No walks in the midday sun today, a quick nip down to Aldi, 2 mile round trip, as soon as I’m ready and lounging in the garden later, under the shade!

Have a nice day everyone. 🙂
 
Another one in 6s today with a 6.6.
Hand now washed and treated to its first shower this morning.
It looks much better and I can now get to work on it with the gentle massaging.

Things seem to have settled for you @freesia.
Enjoy your Knit and Natter @Bloden

Another dull day but dry, so out for a walk with friends.
Hard to drag myself away from watching Wimbledon and no chance in the final week.

Have a good day All.
 
Morning

7.7 for me today after little sleep, was far too warm and muggy last night, windows have been open for weeks in my bedroom but last night was the first night I'd gone to bed where the birds were VERY vocal 🙄

Think I need to invest in earplugs for 24/7 use as the dog in the next block has been barking for the last 2 hours already and it just goes on and on all day, it barks at everything, caught it barking at seagulls that were flying about the other day! Really annoying when you can't even get 5 minutes peace from it

4.2 today and first day back at work was hard. I just want the money but not go in, do you think they will go for that I want to be baking bread and gardening all day I'm sure they will understand :D.
Forgot to show Tattoo @Kaylz asked to see them, I have my twin son's name on the other arm luckily it's Lewis so they both all line up to cater for my obsessions.

Slightly higher again today with a 10.1 but we ended up having a meal out yesterday so I’m really not surprised or annoyed by it. Back on track today.
 
Good Morning
A late start for me, but a BG of 5.6 at 08:26.
Let’s see what today brings
Have a great day.
 
4.9 for me this morning. 🙂 Went back to 6 units of Levemir last night and didn't have any dinner and had a lovely steady overnight graph once I had eaten a Lift to bring me up a bit before I fell asleep. It is my consultant phone appointment later this morning. Still trying to decide if I want Libre 2 or not.... still leaning towards the "or not" (I hate change) but maybe I should get it and then I have the choice of alarms or not. I had intended to ask to change back to NR or try Humalog but think I am going to stick with Fiasp as I have, at long last, found some balance with it and not sure I want to go through the turmoil of change again. My morning routine has recently come down to just 30 mins pre-bolus as oppose to 45 which is catching me out a bit but don't fancy going back to over an hour with NR. Anyway, I am expecting my HbA1c will be a little higher than last time probably around 50 but at least I sort of know why and it is still not too shoddy. Will update later on how it goes. I have my list of topics to cover written down.

@merrymunky That's the spirit! Hope you really enjoyed your meal out.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
7:26am - 6.8 - waking - 19 units of tresiba - it's often in the 4s so is this because of the naughty chocolate (6g of carbs) I had last night and I also got the munchies again during the night and had another 2 (12g of carbs!!) - the chocolates have all gone now and I'm NOT making this a habit of eating and not injecting!!!
00:55am - 4.1 - bedtime - bedtime bgl below 8mmol so had 2 digestive biscuits 18g of carbs and no insulin - also had some cheese

Because of keep waking up in the 4s (this morning is unusual) and 4s and hypos dotted around during the day I'm wondering whether to reduce my tresiba to 18 units

For anyone who wants to please leave me some feedback
 
A 5.7 for me at 04:51 on a grey and murky West Berks morning.
