Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone 🙂
7:15am - 7.6 and in target range for me - 18u tresiba taken
02:01am - 10.8 bgl not in range - over target
22:48pm - 5.3 - in target range but below 8mmol so had 1 bag of mini choc chip cookies 13g of carbs
 
Morning all. 5.9 which is grand.

What a match last night, I too don’t follow or understand football but I had to watch it. Fair weather football fan! 😉 It was very stressful, I had a headache! Can we do it on Sunday? Stranger things have happened.

Had an 8 mile walk yesterday, with a three hour detour to visit family, so I’m staying home today. No plans.

Congratulations @Lanny and @Gwynn on the HSs.

Have a good day everyone. “ It’s coming home, it’s coming home!” Apparently! 😛
 
Morning all, 7.2 on the Libre, 5.7 on a fingerprick. This sensor has been annoyingly but consistently high. Mind you, I confused it thoroughly at bedtime by having a biscuit to ward off a low, then promptly fell asleep and compressed it, I assume. No way did I actually plummet and rise like that!

Morning all it’s a 6.0 today

Nice HS work @Lanny and @Gwynn 🙂

Going to the funeral of my dear friend today, deep breath Flower, pump alarms to silent, diabetes please behave & no hypos in the church!

Have a good day with your Mum and curtain rails @Bloden 🙂

Have a good day out there.
 
Morning

9.3 at 6am dropping to 7.4 by 7am

Muscle in my left forearm stopped hurting yesterday afternoon but have woken up this morning with the right one sore and also the palm of my hand, reminds me of the feeling when in the past I've fallen and put my hands out to break the fall but I certainly haven't fallen so goodness knows!

Congrats to the HS's folks
xx

Most of us go through tough periods so I wouldn't worry too much, hope they come down and settle soon xx

Morning

A whopping 12.0 for me after 2 full days of being 100% in target :( biscuits and little sleep to blame, upstairs neighbours arrived home last night and they sure made it known they were back with the noise they were making! 😡

Anyone any genius tips to get a jar of gherkins open? Tried running under hot water, tapping on the worktop, using a cloth to get better grip etc and still it won't budge, managed to pull a muscle in my forearm this morning trying to get them open!

Elastic band round the lid?
 
Good morning All
A 6.5 for me today on waking at 07:00.
that is possibly a little high but;
1. Last night had tea. 2 hours later 6.8. Watch football ( Well done England). Bed. 5.8. Nothing to eat. Adrenaline in system. The liver thus pumped out sugar
2. Consultant stopped Metformin on Tuesday
3. My body was getting ready for the hunt a woolly mammoth for breakfast.
4. That DF has tweaked results
5. Just one of those unexplainable things.
Well done to @Lanny and @Gwynn on that magic number.
With my App now talking to the diabetes team should be ok. Yesterday it was sending messages about some ultra high BMI person. I’d calculated that 5ft 9 inches was 1.75 m. But App wanted it in cm. so it was having me at 1.75 cm tall weighing about 100 kg.
Nurse wasn’t impressed when I said I was worth more than gold.
that’s now been corrected and today weight down to just 15 st 10 lbs. Roll on the 14’s.
have a great day

I used a car Oil filter wrench once to open a jar it worked a treat so ask your local garage strange method but true.

Morning peoples, don't congratulate me, it's all down to my Body which is holding up despite all the neglect and downright abuse. Thank you Body. I am trying to be good from now on. 🙂

7.6 this morning. We had torrential rain and the patio aka the mucky flags outside the backdoor flooded big time. I'm sure they forecast 'light showers' :D

You always make me smile with your posts … thanks
 
4.8 the first time but dropped back off to sleep after Levemir jabs. A naughty 3.2 ( 😱 Oops) next time I surfaced. I am sure it wasn't really as bad as that (Libre exaggerates) if I could have been bothered to do a finger prick... my guess would be about 3.8ish from the way I felt. I had reduced my evening basal after another midnight walk and my morning dose had been reduced yesterday but it clearly wasn't quite enough. No matter, I will knock another unit off tonight. Libre shows I didn't drop into the red until just before I woke up but there was a steady decline throughout the night. Must stick at the exercise as I really want to get my insulin usage down nearer to Christmas levels..... and of course it makes me feel physically and mentally so much better and I need to drop a few lbs.

Congrats to @Lanny and @Gwynn on attaining the optimum waking reading this morning. Well done Guys!

@Michael12421. 9.6 is still better that readings in the 2s and 3s, but give it time. It will take at least 3 days for your change of Toujeo dose to take full effect and stabilize and a lot of other things can affect your levels.

@Flower Thoughts are with you. Hope you find comfort in sharing stories and memories with others who knew and loved your friend and that your diabetes behaves itself.
 
@Kaylz I have trouble opening wide jars, as my hands are small, & I use a jar opener. I use one by Khun Rikon from amazon. Just put it over the lid, adjust to the size & tighten then, hold the jar firmly in one hand & use the other hand & arm to twist the long handle of the opener to get the lid off! It’s a bit expensive at £16/17 but, worth it for me as both my wrists have been injured before & neither is that strong so, jars are a problem for me!
