Group 7-day waking average?

Tesco sea salt crackers are my snack I cant resist, hubby has them with brie on, so he now has to put them on top of the cupboard out of my reach so I can't eat them.

My only solution is to not have any snacks in the house. That’s why I shop fresh twice a week. However, my wife likes to go to the M&S food hall on a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning - absolutely deadly.

On the plus side, since being in hospital 17 months ago I’ve not eaten a single crisp or had a single fizzy, sugary soft drink (I am still partial to sparkling wine).

I love a bit of sparkly wine myself.
 
Morning all, just slipping in under the barre. 8.1 same as yesterday. I only went and forgot to turn off the central heating and it was on full blast for Mum. All night in that heat with Mum and the cat. No wonder I feel groggy today. :(
 
My 7 day average is 13.8

Until 2 months ago I took metformin , gliclazide and canagliflozin for nearly 10 years but ended up in hospital with hyperglycemia. I now take 20 units of Humulin twice a day ( along with metformin and gliclazide) but still only drop below 10 mmol/L once a day..... on a good day.

Eventually I managed to speak to get through to my GPs "care navigator" and I hope to speak to the nurse who specialises in diabetics early in August but until then is practical to increase my slow acting Insulin to 22 or 24 to get my average sugars down below 10 ?
 
Hola!

Reading the new paper from Prof. Taylor has given me a kick up the posterior.
As has signing up for the 1m Steps.

Bloods are fine and I’m back at the gym, and using my exercise bike when I’m watching telly.

There’s 20,000 odd steps already from today to get added to this total… and I’m back on the VLCD thing.

I can not comment on reducing / increasing insulin
But I would keep ringing the Diabetes team and your Doctor to get a response earlier than August. I know they are busy but you need answers.

Brilliant news ….
 
4.8 this morning

Feeling very 'down' this morning. My wife was not good yesterday. She had floods of tears in the evening after a very miserable day being upset with the 'nasty intruders'. Naturally it broke my heart to see her like this. But there is nothing anyone can do as she does not believe she is ill and she refuses any help from anywhere. Its a horrible illness that has wrecked our family and robbed us of happiness for many many years.
 
5.2 for me this morning which is probably due to the two glasses of white wine last night, so no comments required one way or the other.

I’ve been restoring the tarmac on our driveway, patch by patch over the last few weeks. I reckon two more sessions and it’ll be finished. It’s good exercise.

It’s clearly very hard for you and you’re entitled to feel the way you do. As is often the case I can’t “like” your post even though by now you know that everyone in this group is supporting you via the ether.
So, great reading of 4.8, and may it be a better day for you both.
 
Morning all. 6.2 today. Woke at 4.40 absolutely starving but I didn’t raid the fridge you’ll be pleased to know. I’m up now to though!

Had a last minute call to arms last night, got the three farmer’s children coming, the sheep shearer rang to say he could do their sheep, and of course you’re got to take it when you can ( busy folks these sheep shearers apparently) so babysitting duties today for us as it’ll be all hands on deck down on’t farm. We don’t mind we’ve no other plans, good job I did the “ big” shop yesterday as they’re like a swarm of locusts!

Have a good day if you can, I’ll mostly be feeding and running after feral grandchildren. 🙂

@Gwynn I liked your post because of your BG, I hope you have a better day today. My heart breaks for you both.

@HenryBennett take the HS, wine or no wine, congratulations.
 
Morning all. :D 3.4 here...that’ll be yesterday’s gardening.

I can’t like your post either @Gwynn - your wife’s very lucky to have such a caring OH. I hope today is much better for you both.

Rain until Monday evening, apparently.😳 Bloden’s just been tap dancing around the kitchen with muddy paws - should’ve gone for dun-colored flooring throughout, then I wouldn’t see the dirt. Roll on a teensy bit of sunshine.😎
