Group 7-day waking average?

Morning. 6.7 after a very high night. Interesting @ColinUK about exercise spiking your levels. We went for a late afternoon walk yesterday, through woods, tough underfoot at times and we ended up walking almost eight miles. When I got home at 6pm, I was down to 4.4. Had our tea, orzo with butter beans, tomatoes, etc. Conservative 2 units of basal. This was 6.45 ish. Nothing else to eat all night. Bed time ( 10.30) I was up 9.5. Looking at my graph this morning I went even higher! The effects of exercise can last for up to 48 hours so you get the benefit of it in the next day or two.

Have a fab Friday everyone, baby Zara is coming for her lunch today as usual. Looking forward to that. 🙂

@ColinUK I've added a photo of my Libre graph. And a picture of two roe deer we spotted yesterday at the start of our walk and before we headed into the woods, in a field adjacent to a duel carriageway, just metres from the M6 exit! They weren’t phased by the traffic but when they saw us across the river they fled for their lives! 😳

@Telemóveis Many congratulations on your House Special. The first of many I hope! Wishing you a very enjoyable trip to visit your friend.
 
Good Morning All
A 6.5 for me today. Might have cleared the Alps but am still in the foothills.
having said that I’ll probably turn around and go back into the mountains.
Well done @Telemóveis on your Home Special.
Have a great day
 
Morning

8.8 on this VERY chilly morning

After a low day Tuesday I spent Wednesday on the high side and was back to trying to keep myself from going hypo yesterday, again only took 1u for my tea last night but had 3 Lifts before bolusing as didn't want to eat them later on like I did Tuesday, getting quite fed up with it to be honest xx
 
A 5.7 for me at 05:51 this morning. Very cold in West Berks. The car claimed -3C when we set off on the school run. At least it is blue skies and sunny
 
6.4 this morning with a flat line overnight, a vast improvement on yesterday. Did change my pump with a new vial of insulin and it seems to have worked.

Sunny and bright here today. Good wishes to all of you.
 
Interview done. Slightly chaotic and not too happy with my answers but kept them brief and didn't over run on time - which was important with this role. WIll find out next week but I've got a couple of external interviews lined up for next week too.
 
6.5 today. Blue skies again chilly 8deg lighter winds, getting out on the bike to have a ride along the coast to Poole Quay for a spot of lunch.

10:15 BS 5.8 🙂 Headed off a possible hypo? after a call of nature earlier 05:41 BS 4.3. Laid in bed for a while afterwards trying to decide to treat or not & in the end went with half an oatcake & went back to sleep!

Was actually about to do my pills & LR, still over 2 hours late as I keep responding too slowly to the alarms & dozing off again, when my tesco shopping rang the doorbell: they were 45 minutes early; had woken with a bit of a start, anyway, knowing it was tesco delivery 11:00 to 12:00!

SOOOH, rather hurriedly bagged it all & left it sitting still in the inner front door porch while I did my basal, pills & DP busting quarter oatcake! Also, posting this this as well before I put the shopping away! 🙄

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

Will also phone the chemist to see if the Tresiba is ready? But, I decided to double check the dosage before I start as the health centre nurse got my dosage wrong, I realise afterwards, when she called & said it was the same dose that I inject, 76 once a day! My doses on LR are 78 twice a day! I rang my hospital DSN & they operate a priority call back service now so, I left a message & one of the department nurses will call me back but, I said I had enough LR to last me until the start of next week & I’ll stay on LR until I get a call to check exactly what dose etc. before I make the change.

Right then, there’s shopping to be put away & I’ll have some breakfast at some point but, no particular hurry as with DP busting I have about 90 minutes before BS starts rising again! 🙄
 
Morning everyone 🙂
7:36am 4.9 below target - 16.0 units of tresiba done
9:47am before breakfast 7.0
 
Sorry for this one!456792B6-46C2-4040-AE25-8DD1A7EDF024.jpeg
 
8.5 for me today after a very stressful day at work yesterday with a new system that has gone live, but somehow they have forgotten to give all the staff training on, which I could do without, a call from the hospital regarding someone who is going to be calling me today to talk about some lung tests/CT scans etc, which no idea if that is connected to my surgery last week which was gynecological or to do with my asthma, but I suppose I will find out today, must admit when I saw it was the hospital I thought it was to arrange an appointment to get the results of my biopsies.

@Telemóveis - congrats on your HS.

Have a good day everyone, I won't be on for a couple of days as I am going to the NEC with my daughter and eldest granddaughter for Cake International this weekend.
 
Good morning. 6.1 for me this morning.
 
Good morning everyone.

Sorting out the sound system yesterday went well. One broken cable (connector insides pushed in!!!),DI Boxes all ok (but switches were in the wrong place), snake all ok, mics all good bar one hand held mic (which is constantly accidentally dropped by people), amp ok, general cabling tidied (about 10 superfluous cables removed), sound desk all ok. I need to sort out the labelling and fix the one cable connector, then jobs a good un.

Er, oh yes, BG this morning 4.9 so where have the low 5's gone? Sigh.

Today, no plans at all. Hmmmm, what shall I do.

Yesterday my wife slow cooked a chicken in her rice cooker. Wow was it tasty (the chicken, not the rice cooker). I mean seriously tasty, and tender. Ruined my diet for the day 🙂

Have a great day everyone. Feels like it may be very cold out there this dark morning.
