Group 7-day waking average?

Lanny said:
It’s a bit of a shocker this morning, I’m afraid 07:12 BS 11.8 😱 Realised yesterday I’d better keep the LR at 07:30 & 19:30 yesterday evening as I’ll need to be up until that as my flu vaccine is at 19:00 today!🙄 As, to why I woke SO high? I woke up in the middle of the night with too cold a room temperature with an asthma attack that needed the full asthma plan of 10 puffs of salbutamol followed by 4 puffs of clenil after I turned the heater up a bit!😱 Took me a while to settle back down to sleep & that was about 04:30, last time I looked at the watch! So, I think still a bit of inhalers in my system & some stress reflected by the high reading this morning?🙄

Bunged in LR & DP busted with a guessed 20 units NR & half an oatcake before trying to catch a bit more z’s. 09:12 BS 9.9 a bit disappointingly high as I didn’t put in quite enough NR earlier so, put in even more NR for breakfast, 48 NR instead of usual 40, & just finished eating now! This morning is still very chilly & I was still aware of a bit of wheezing at some points during my semi dozing between DP busting & getting up for breakfast! So, turned the heater up another degree to 20C: last night before bed it was at 18C & the air got too cold for me to breathe comfortably! With the autumn/winter nights now I’ll need at least 19C, for now, & 20C when it gets colder in the icy weather post New Year? 😳🙄

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

Arghhh... any kind of stress can trigger cortisol production which will indeed raise BGs. Be kind to yourself, after a night like that your BG was bound to be a bit wonky.
 
A 5.6 for me this morning
 
Oooh first up! Clickety click, 6.6. Been awake since 4.30 and up since 5.30. Mind buzzing about everything I’ve to do in the next few days. Make up all the kids beds for tomorrow’s sleepover, do some food shopping for bits and pieces for Halloween party on Saturday. Need to make brownie today, it tastes better after a couple of days. Make all the food whilst looking after five grandchildren, although to be fair Mr Eggy is taking two eldest to the pictures tomorrow afternoon, and youngest daughter is just getting her hair done and will only be a couple of hours she can entertain her daughter and her two nieces whilst I get on. #firstworldproblems 😉

Off into town later on this afternoon for a cut and colour, will go earlier and pop for some shopping. Looks like I’ll need my brolly, wellies and raincoat. It hasn’t stopped raining for over 24 hours and it’s to continue until tomorrow evening. The Lake District is suffering, roads closed and Derwent Water burst it’s banks as usual. What a shame as it will be packed as it’s half term. I’m glad we live on a hill! o_O

Have a great day all. I’m going to make brownies now and some pastry. No rest for the wicked! 🙂
 
Good morning 7.4

having a bit of a lay in today
have a great day everybody
 
4.6 for me today. 🙂

7.6 today for me. Warmish 15deg but overcast in Poole and blowing a bit at 20mph. We tend to cop a bit of wind here near Bournemouth University as it's almost 200 feet above sea level and it's obviously quite close to the coast. No piccie today, off to see diabetic nursie this morning, finally got an appointment from our totally useless surgery administration.
 
I really don't know what has happened, woke at 7am, BG 4.9. Am I becomming lazy ? 🙂

I think my BG meter battery must be low as it doesn't seem able to count to 5 and above ! 🙂

Oddly it is dark, windy, and warm out there. I will go out for a longer walk if it doesn't start raining.

Added costings into the App and todays meals will cost me £5.74p - Tuna salad, fruit jelly, roast chicken.

My wife was asking after mashed potatoes but I haven't done those for a long long time now and I am not about to start, but I did like them. I think I have almost banned them because I couldn't stop myself wanting a plateful whereas a baked potato is ok as it comes ready wrapped in its own skin and I can choose the weight before I start. No temptation to eat more.

Ahhh, temptations.....

Oh, just remembered, eye appointment at hospital the other day went well. I have an eye operation booked now for 2nd Dec. They said the operation can take up to 4 hours! Can't say I am looking forward to it and yet I am excited at the same time. I will be able to see again. Yesss.

Oh, and I just remembered... my wife made some bread yesterday. I tried a tiny piece. It was absolutely gorgeous. Really nice. Some of the best bread I have ever eaten. So I gobbled up 2 whole pieces! The result 2 Hrs later BG 4.8. This morning weight up by 0.1 Kg (wow) to just junder my weight goal. AND it didn't upset my stomach like bread always used to. So good all round.

Good morning folks. 7.5 for me today.
Have a good day!
 
Good morning. 4.4 for me!! Had a massive spike to 18.6 last night (finger prick showed in 15s) after a tiny hypo. No idea why it went so high as i didnt think i'd over treated. I'd had a takeaway as a treat and was expecting the usual delayed spike but that never came. When i ate i bolused for the food but it carried on going up and up. Scary!! I binned my pen (it was near the end anyway) and corrected. It finally dropped to a better number around midnight then gradually dropped overnight.
Have a good day everyone.
 
6.9 today and off down the caravan for a few days before return to work.
@Grannylorraine hope you are recovering and they are looking after you. Hugs to you xx
@eggyg sounds manic, hope, all goes well.
Have a good day all x
 
Morning

A whopping 11.0 for me, mix of contraceptive being due soon and the pain in my fingers me thinks xx
 
Chocolate brownies and a steak and ale pie. Both made before 9 o’clock this morning. #smug 😉

But look at my BGs! 😱 I didn’t lick the bowl, honest guv!😛

A 5.5 for me at 05:06 this morning. Back to back calls today so busy in the office
 
Libre said 2.6 when the alarm went off at 6.30am and red on the graph for some time. I was surprised as I indulged in rather too many roasted peanuts last night and fully expected to be high. In fact I sat up into the early hours watching my Libre for when I needed to put a correction in. In the end I jabbed 1 unit at 1.30 am and went to bed. I was sure I would need at least 2units but didn't dare as my reading was only 6.3. I should have smelled a rat then but who wants to challenge/double check a nice reading when they feel fine. Anyway, finger prick this morning said I was 12.5! Bit of a difference there! Double checked both readings.... 2.5 and 11.7, so I injected 3 units of Fiasp and my Levemir and went back to sleep. Libre said LO when I woke up again and finger prick 6.2..... so I am offering the latter as my waking reading for today because it is significantly more respectable. 😉 :D

Libre sensor gave me several more LO readings before it gave up altogether. Only 2 days old and still seems to be stuck like a limpet so no idea what has gone wrong with it but a phone call to Abbott is on the cards and a trip to the surgery to pick up my prescriptions as I don't have a spare sensor in the house. Feel quite vulnerable without it and already had a nasty hypo because my breakfast bolus kicked in much sooner than it normally does. Arrggh!
