Group 7-day waking average?

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
 
7.4 this morning and off to work shortly as have to leave early as having a tooth out. Not looking forward to it at all. Have date for my next op of 22nd March.
Have a good day all xx
 
Good morning Wednesday 6.6 today
Happy Birthday @Gwynn hope you have a good day today

Have a great day everyone
 
SueEK: Good luck with the tooth. I have had to have a tooth out and surprisingly, and rather nicely, the extraction didn't hurt at all. Nor the recovery. But itvwas still a bit of a stress.

Thank you Goodybags. The day will be as good as I can make it

BG 4.9 this morning. Almost in the 5's

Pulse very low at 55bpm. BP low too at 111/71

Out for a longer walk in a while when the Sun rses to counter the impending cake excess. It was an interesting exercise sorting out my diet to be able to include cake, an eclair, Fruit Jelly, a chicken dinner, some red wine, and still keep to within my diet limits !!!

Today will be interesting to see what happens. Zero expectations.
 
Morning All.

No idea why but a 10.1 for me.

Have a good day.

I think it’s your birthday @Gwynn - happy birthday.
 
Funny, I don't feel one year older but I am, since yesterday !!! 🙂
 
@Gwynn have a happy birthday and enjoy every mouthful of that eclair, jelly, cake, wine and slap up dinner that you take!
You deserve a good day and I hope that’s what you have.

Morning all. 6.6 today. First time I’ve been up before sunrise for a few days. Let’s hope for a good one.

We had planned a walk to Kielder Forest today but I had a strange experience yesterday. Just before I planned to leave to do the “ big” shop, I got an excruciating pain in my left hip. I was sitting down at the time, obviously a trapped nerve all of a sudden. It took almost two hours to go away. I have been fine since but now nervous about going out walking. I’ve had hip trouble for a few years, wear and tear and bursitis, but since I fell two years ago and injured my pelvis it’s steadily getting worse. It generally is just a toothache sort of pain and I walk through it but yesterday I couldn’t even stand up without shouting out in pain. Weird that it went as quickly as it came. Worrying though. :confused: I got the “ big” shop done in the end. Mr Eggy did offer, albeit half heartedly, but I was a martyr and went on my own and was fine.

Have a wonderful Wednesday. We may skip over the border to Northumberland today or we may stay local.

Happy birthday @Gwynn have the best day you can. Eat, drink and be merry. 🙂
 
6.1 this morning after a momentous evening.

I told mum and dad everything.

It was fine. No tears. Just a clear conversation about what had happened, what spurred me to report things, how the police had been great, where things are at now and also about the support I’ve received from various sources including here.

They listened. They asked questions. They shared their own immediate concerns which I was able to allay.

They didn’t have a clue that any of this has happened and of course they’re concerned but they can also appreciate that being open about everything is empowering and important.

Wasn’t just the three of us last night as I asked my brother and s-in-l to join us but she couldn’t however he was there and was able to offer another support to my folks as well as hear me talk rationally about everything at length as opposed to text in a crisis moment as he’d otherwise experience.

All in all a positive experience.

I’ll text the folks in a bit to check on them and see how they are this morning after dropping the bombshell last night.

I’m glad you were able to tell them and it sounds like they will be a good support to you. As parents, I’m sure they still worry ( as we do) about you everyday anyways, no matter your age. I think you do right to keep them informed now as otherwise they’ll overthink things and won’t want to bother you etc etc. any news is better than hearing nothing. I’m speaking from experience here as a mother of three adults. I hope you feel better telling them and knowing you have your family’s support, and ours, behind you. Xx
 
Morning all, 8.0 here, oops! I know what I did, I had a rather fatty, protein heavy casserole, and had to have a choccy digestive mid evening to stave off a low while it was all getting into my system, so obv it kept on giving after I'd gone to bed.
Happy birthday @Gwynn, Enjoy your birthday food, carbs don’t count on birthdays and Christmas day!

Also worth pointing out that it’s only the first slice of cake which has any carbs or calories. The rest escape when the cake is cut.
 
Well my success of yesterday was short lived! 10.5 for me this morning and that was after a half unit basal increase last night and a 2 unit correction at 5am for a similar 10.5. So I stacked another 7 units onto that at 7am to include breakfast bolus, correction and FOTF correction. I find with Fiasp I have to be bold when levels get up into double figures and 7 is definitely bold for me. I think the cause may be a reaction to my Covid vaccine. I started to feel a bit achy last night and hit the paracetamol, so if it is that which is driving my levels up, I probably need to be bold... we shall see. The great thing about Libre is I can keep a close eye on it.

@SueEK Really hope your extraction goes smoothly and painlessly. (((HUGS)))

@Gwynn Did you make a cake with your wife yesterday? Many Happy Returns. I hope you have a much better day than you anticipated.
 
5.7 this morning for me. 🙂

Good morning. I have been off (on a bit of a wobble for a while). Nice to be back.

Happy birthday @Gwynn
I hope that the tooth extraction goes well @SueEK

What a good thing to be able to read @ColinUK . So pleased that you were Ready to do this and that they listened. Having been open with them you can now support each other through the next phase….. AND 6.1 after all that. Well done.
 
7.2 this morning, was 8.2 before and after dinner yesterday evening, blame half a "Turkey and trimmings" sandwich from Tesco and one measly dumpling...
 
5.3 This morning and nice flat line over night. For once Humphrey (my pump) behaved over night with no alarms which is unusual on the last day of a sensor. A full night of a sleep.

The song that I wrote about how I found it living with T1called The Best That I Can.
It celebrates our ‘new normal’ life and the support of family and friends.
This fits well with the current DUK theme of This is Diabetes.
We have recorded it and it will be available on World Diabetes Day on Sunday 14 Nov (I will post the link)
This morning I am being interviewed, along with my singing teacher, on BBC Somerset Radio on the Simeon Parkin Show. First time I have done like that anything live.
