Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

A whopping 11. 5 today, hopefully things begin to settle after I do my contraceptive injection this afternoon

It's my 5th diaversary today, doesn't seem like 5 years already! xx
 
Morning all from a wet Cumbria. Again! Talking of dodgy sensors, I’ve been in the sevens every morning for days. Sensor finished last night. Decided to wait until after my shower this morning before attaching a new one. So, drum roll please, on the Accu-Chec 5.7! I blooming knew it was reading high!

Big shop today. That’ll fill the morning in, and the afternoon putting it all away! That’s just the worst isn’t it?

Have a good day everyone. 🙂
@Gwynn surely your daughter and granddaughter will send you a card. Why don’t you and your wife make a cake together? It could be fun, if not, just make yourself a one. And lick the spoon! 😉
 
6.4 this morning so am pleased with that. Quiet day today at home so hope to track down the new roll of birthday paper I bought (hmmm) and get granddaughter's pressies wrapped ready for next week. Where have the past 3 years gone!!! Hubby's off to the optician's later, so I will enjoy that extra bit of peace and quiet too lol Hope everyone has a decent day 🙂
 
5.5 for me earlier today. 🙂

08:51 BS 6.5 Exactly the same as yesterday! 🙂

Got my Tresiba delivered yesterday & it’s only a box of 3 very fat pens: much bigger than the Levemir & Novorapid pens so, the Insulcheck clips won’t fit but, since it’s only once a day I’ll be able to manage without it? 😱🙄 It’s 600 units per pen & you can only dial up in 2 unit increments up to 160 in one go with the dial marked 0, 4, 8, 12 etc. & the dashes in between are 2, 6, 10 etc. So, the minimum change to doses are 2 units up or down! That IS what I’ve found from the beginning of using insulin, anyway these 10 years! 😱: only even doses in going up or down with odd doses behaving like the nearest even number; why I only ever went up or down in at least 2 units as 1 unit didn’t make a difference! 🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Arrrgh... 11.6 this morning (9.9 on BG meter) did a correction and now down to 7.4. Need to get it under control as I have an eye test at 15:20 and if it’s high I may end up with a prescription that’s slightly out. Which is what happened with the specs before the current ones.

@Lanny good luck with the Tresiba.

@Gwynn just HUGS.
 
Yup I will suggest that we make a cake together.

Just a nice victoria sponge but my favourite is a chocolate fudgecake. Mmmmm.

Just been out for an hours walk on the beach. Really enjoyed it too. Odd though cos I didn't feel like going out at all. Feel better for it too. Not too cold this morning.

Thanks for all the well wishes. You're a great bunch.
 
Good morning
7:03am 5.7 and within target - 16.0 units of tresiba done

9:41am before breakfast 7.5 within target - 36g of carbs - 4.5 units of humalog food - 0.5 units humalog correction
 
7.7 for me this morning, really struggling to get my eating back on track, my head is all over the place at the moment. Currently feel like I am in some sort of limbo waiting for my biopsy results, part of me keeps saying, you still need to eat well as whatever happens having your diabetes well controlled and weight being within range will all help whatever the outcome, and not to wreck all the good work I have done so far when most likely I am fine, then I get the voice in my head that says you might as well eat what you want in case your worst fears come true.

I can't tell you how just how much writing that down and getting out of just being in my head feels, but there again I know you guys all understand.

Have a good day everyone.
 
@Grannylorraine Sending (((HUGS)))
Do you have a date for results? They must realize how anxious people are waiting to discuss the outcome of a biopsy and this seems like quite a long period to be waiting. Sending positive vibes your way. You know it makes sense to get back to eating healthy food and hopefully once you are back into your stride physically and mentally it will all just click back into place but you have been through an awful lot in the last 13 months so do cut yourself a bit of slack. X
 
Good Morning All
A 6.4 on waking today.

@Kaylz Happy Diversary.
 
Oh yes! Many congrats on your 5 year diaversary @Kaylz Not a great morning reading to clelebrate such an auspicious occasion but at least you have an idea of why it is high and hopefully it will resolve a bit after your injection.

Thank you! 🙂 have been unpredictable with corrections due to it all so last check about half hour ago was low 4's so took a few Lifts as on my own now for a few hours so don't want to be dealing with myself and having to leave Bubbles on his own to come back to him having been up to something 🙄 should settle down in a few days

Nobody got me cake though! I did buy myself cake bars last week but unfortunately forgot to get Bruce to bring them up so no celebratory cake bar with dinner either! 😱 xx
 
@Kaylz big congrats on your diaversary and hope your levels sort themselves out soon xx
@Grannylorraine cant deny my food choices have been rather poor since my op, especially to begin with. You do seem to have waited a while for your results, can your GP give the hospital a nudge, so difficult and worrying awaiting results. Hugs to you xxx
@Gwynn i shan’t offer to bake you a cake but I will certainly raise a glass to you tomorrow xx

Morning all, 6.8 here.
I had a sensor like that back in the summer, @freesia. It read 2.8 resolutely for the first 24 hours, until I said loudly to my husband, 'I’m going to have to report this sensor to Abbott' whereupon it shot up into the 6s, and behaved impeccably for the rest of the 2 weeks. Hope yours toes the line from now on.

Well so far its been much better, in target and only 1 out compared to finger prick. I think it must have heard me!! :D
Fingers crossed it stays that way

In the 8’s today the best for a few weeks. I’m struggling a bit
I've replaced nimble bread with rice cakes. Is that an improvement ?
Click to expand...
That largely depends on what rice cakes you have. Nimble bread is 37g carb per 100g. Tesco plain rice cakes are 77.1 per 100g or 5.6 per rice cake, but very quickly absorbed so you may find they hit you like a train... only testing will tell how you tolerate them. I recall early on after diagnosis eating them and they weren't very good for me.

Yes they are high in carbs about 5.6g per slice. This isn’t the answer I’ll need to find another low carb solution. Disappointing
I will test before and after eating to see the effects though
thank you
