Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks and a nice 6 on the nose for me, seems my bg’s like alcohol. 🙂 Off to Hungerford this morning to look around the antique emporiums, won’t be buying anything but I like to look. Maybe going to Marlborough as well for a mooch and then swimming later this afternoon. Good fun and entertainment last night, great food and good nights sleep so all set for the day.
Have a good one all x
 
Morning all. Disappointing 7.2, the exact same I went to bed on, which is usually a pretty good number to retire on. What went wrong? Possibly because on doing my basal this morning I found there was still a unit of insulin left in the pen from last night! Numpty! I’ve noticed for a while it was feeling stiff, I must remember to check in future. :confused:

Nothing planned today. It’s dark, damp and windy at the moment and the fells I can usually see from my bedroom window have disappeared. That’s not good. Think I’ll just have a quiet day, book reading will be involved and nothing more strenuous than nipping out for some fresh coriander for this evening’s meal.

Have a super Saturday whatever you’re up to. 🙂
 
6.8 today. Dull and overcast, lovely blue skies of yesterday just a distant memory. At least it's a bit warmer 11deg atm.
I think the lovely Jane is hankering for another "little run out" today. I know she wants to take little Abby to Poundbury tomorrow to see the Xmas lights/walk through show at the garden centre. Only 25 miles away......I've gone from 4000 miles a year to 12000 miles a year since I was persuaded to sell my boy's toy convertible and replace it with an electric car...car.jpg

Morning

8.3 for me today

Phoned the chemist a few days ago to see if they could order in some pre injection swabs for me as I'm down to my last 2 which will be used tomorrow night for my Libre, (yes I'm aware they are only a couple of quid online but I am not paying more for delivery than I pay for the swabs!) and the woman told me she'd see what she could do, I phoned again yesterday to see if there was any update to be told I could have a box of 200 and they would be set aside for me for Bruce to pick up, no charge as they are supplied to drug users as part of the needle exchange service offered, one of the pharmacists recently did a fire walk for charity so I'll pop a donation to that instead xx
 
Morning all. 5.2 for me!! Not up to much today. Hair having a quick trim, off to town for hopefully a spot of lunch out then back home for film and Strictly night. Will need to do cleaning and ironing at some point, but not today 🙂 .

Greetings everyone 🙂

Eventually arrived at my destination after a train breakdown halfway along, but other than that everything is great. I think my face still hurts after laughing so much last night 😛

Overdid the insulin Bc I was 3.9 last night 😳 Normally I have my emergency supply of biscuits but I didn’t have them so I just had like 6 jelly babies, reduced my Levemir and just hoped for the best. Woke up at 6am with a 6.7, now 7.0 before breakfast so overall I think I got away with it🙂

Bowling tonight :D Just hoping that my friends are not secretly professionals😛

Wishing y’all a great Saturday 🙂
 
6.4 this morning with a nice straight line and 90% TIR. Well pleased! Specially as I went to the loo last night and discovered my pump tubing waving in the breeze. Reconnected it and was relieved to discover I was only 6.9.

Off into town for lunch prior to meeting friends this afternoon for a drink. Have fun all of you going out for a meal and/or doing nice social/shopping things.
 
7.3 this morning, feeling a bit under the weather today, hoping it passes.
 
I’m joining the very popular this morning of 10:02 BS 6.4 🙂

Not surprisingly, perhaps after my non urgent message, I didn’t get a call from my DSN & it’ll be Monday at least before I do so, I’ll leave it until Monday to call the chemist! 🙄

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

Strictly later tonight! 😛

Also, thank goodness the “bangs” 😱 are over for another year as the fireworks season is now over! :D Phew! With a drop of sweat over one eye!
 
I'm not happy this morning :( 5.3 when I eventually got up but in double figures all night. Nice straight line but way too high. I reduced my bedtime Levemir by half a unit and I have gone from double dip hypos to 11s and 12s with half a unit reduction. Seriously!! Arrgh!
My levels were great most of the day yesterday but started rising last night. I shot myself 3.5 units of Fiasp after evening stables. Levels were 9s so I waited for them to drop below 8 to start eating. I waited over an hour and they started to rise so I shot myself another 2.5 units and ate my cauliflower and halloumi curry without waiting any longer. No rice, just the curry, although there were a few chick peas in it. Really enjoyed it but levels went up into double figures and stayed there all night until the alarm went off. Jabbed myself 2.5 units of Fiasp and went back to sleep because I am not starting the day on 12!
Clearly the Fiasp is not the problem because it brought me down this morning so my basal insulin needs must be rising sharply on a night because that curry should not have needed more than 3 units tops and I injected 6 and still ended up high. I have noticed the last few nights that I have needed corrections after my meal when I shouldn't have.... but then I hypoed later. DF has clearly escaped from her incarceration and currently residing with me for the last few days. Anyone fancy a house guest to spice up their diabetes management! I've had enough of her already! Grr!
 
Morning everyone 🙂
7:34am 8.4 over target for me - 16.0 units of tresiba done

As long as that being is living with you, we know where she is.
You know how to deal with her so please keep her so that the rest of us can live in peace.

I politely decline your offer of an extra house guest on this occasion.
 
A 5.8 this morning.
However last nights exercise (swimming) confused somewhat.
Having had
Before breakfast. : 6.5
Before Lunch. : 6.1
Before Dinner. : 6.2
Reduced bolus from 4 to 3 units due to swimming
Before driving to pool. : 8.3
Before Swimming. : 8.5
Ate Banana before going in for hours swimming
After Swimming. : 5.1
Ate digestive biscuit so wouldn’t drop on drive home.
Arrive Home. : 8.7
Before Bed. : 11.0

And they say exercise is good to control blood glucose.
 
Ahah! Just picked up post & there’s a letter & info leaflet about Tresiba from the hospital & it’s the double strength 200 units/ml flexpens I’ll be using so, 78 units once a day is right as that’s actually double that! There’s also a plastic credit card thing to carry on me in my purse with the Tresiba 200 units/ml on it & I fill in my details & bolus insulin as well!

I might as well finish the last couple of LR pens in the opened box this weekend, get the Tresiba on Monday & hand back the unopened box of LR pens so, they can stick another sticker on top of mine for somebody else to use: waste not; want not!

Lanny, they cannot reissue medication once it has left the pharmacy, even sealed boxes, so it should be destroyed if you return it. If I were you I would use up the LR and then start the Tresiba to reduce waste. I imagine a box won't last you very long so I can't see it making any significant difference, cosidering how long you have been using it.

I find those credit card things a bit superfluous seeing as my basal doses vary so much.... as yours often do too. I have one in the car which I got when I was first diagnosed and I think it says 7 units of Levemir which is now well out of date so I really must remember to remove it and see if there is any way of amending it.
Maybe with the Tresiba there will be less variation for you. Good luck with it!
