Group 7-day waking average?

Disappointed my HbA1c came back at 42. Just into prediabetic - up from 40. Down to bad food control and exercise over the pandemic. Surgery already called to arrange a doctor's appointment. Likely to be pushed down the statins route....again

An increase of 2 units is really very minimal and there is a margin of error in all testing so I would not be too hard on yourself, but if you know your diet and exercise have slipped a bit, (and the pandemic is a perfectly acceptable excuse for that) then you know what to do to fix it again. You are right at the bottom of the pre-diabetes range with 42 so in my opinion the Dr should be congratulating you on keeping it low. As regards statins, ask for the breakdown of your cholesterol results and make a note of them and ask why the Dr feels you are at risk when your diabetes is well managed. In my opinion your Dr should be looking at you as an individual when prescribing medication, so quoting NICE guidelines for diabetics in itself shouldn't be enough to warrant prescription. That is just my view, but I would want to know that they were prescribing for me rather than just ticking boxes. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
 
6.1 this morning. Better than for a while. 97% in range for the last 24 hours. 85% for the last 7 days and only 1% below which is a refreshing change!

@rebrascora It's sooooo unpredictable, but chin up, you will get there.
 
You would think that daytime levels would be the most difficult to control because that's when we are eating and therefore having to manage more variability, My morning basal dose has been 24units for months now and holds me nice and steady until the evening and then levels start to climb and don't respond to corrections and of course then I am tempted to rage bolus. Might try bringing my evening basal dose forward again to 7pm and see if that helps, but it caused me to hypo through the night last time I tried that.
 
@rebrascora keep going, you'll sort it.
@eggyg have you tried Etsy for shopping? There is everything you could ever want, lots of handmade/individual/personalised things and if you only shop UK, it supports small businesses. I've bought some lovely gifts off the site before.

Yay!!! Its Friday, i'm home from work and i'm having a couple of glasses of wine tonight after this week. I hope everybody has a good evening.

I’m planning on some chocolate !
 
It was a 4.8 when I got up this morning. Busy day and had a number of 3.4-3.9. Just murdered a few more jelly babies. Cadburys nut chocolate chilling in the fridge like at @freesia in need of a Friday night treat!

I've been chomping JBs today as well. Enjoy the chocolate!
 
Good morning everyone. Looks like I may be first up this morning.

BG 4.5. Still in the 4's. Ok though.

Weight back down to goal weight. Phew!

Spent yesterday afternoon and evening putting up the Christmas decorations as my daughter and her daughter will be coming here today. Not sure how long they will stay. They always seem to be dashing from one place to another.

We had a good day yesterday too.

Hope you all have a great day today
 
4.1 for me this morning following 2 Lift tablets at 4am for a 4.0.... Ha! Just caught it .... twice.... before I hit the red! Took my evening Levemir at 7pm, which definitely helped stop the evening rise, but dropped me low in the night as i suspected it might. Will need to look at going to bed with levels a little higher I guess.
 
Morning. 6.6 today and a wonderful flatfish on the Libre reader. ‘tis a thing of beauty.

A much brighter day, yesterday was terrible, wind and rain all day. The furthest I ventured was a two minute drive to Aldi to get a cast iron casserole dish. I saw them the day before when I popped in, but I was walking and there was no way I could carry it home. It’s no Le Creuset I don’t suppose, but at £25 against £200, I’m not expecting it to last a lifetime. The way I see it, I wouldn’t have got my money’s worth from a Le Creuset, not at my age! ‘tis also a thing of beauty! 😉 I think maybe I need to get a life!😛

Have a super Saturday. 🙂

Thanks for your suggestions re Christmas presents, Etsy and RSPB. I’ll take a look at those.
@Michael12421 that’s a wee bit low this morning.Hope you’re ok.

Hi everyone

6.1 this morning which is the lowest since my 5.2 last Friday (been stranded due to 10+ bedtime readings and being told not to correct bc we’re working out the right nighttime Levemir dose)

The thing is I fell asleep without testing or injecting so how I got down here I have no clue

Now officially running, done 2 5ks this week with dad, felt like I had never stopped, and blood sugars are coping. Just hoping it doesn’t affect the weight management too much
 
Good morning 6.2 today
a relief after some fast food and my booster jab yesterday evening

have a great day everybody
 
07:41 BS 5.3 Yay! MUCH better! :D I had a VERY short day yesterday as I only got up after 4pm, DP busted twice & only ate breakfast before going back to bed again for a few hours!😱 But, I’m feeling much more refreshed & SO glad to see the end of a rather unusual 2 cycles in a row: I really don’t like the few a year I get now; they surprise me every time & always have to change the bed!😱 But, will be 50 before the end of this month & hopefully not TOO many more of them PPPlease? Two Hands Together Pleading! emoji!

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

Have been watching this year’s Junior Bake Off & the second heat’s Biscuit Day challenge of making Poo Emoji shaped chocolate marshmallow teacakes was HILARIOUS & the messiest bakesI’ve ever seen! 😱:D😛😎😉 Harry Hill is just SO funny with the children too!:D
 
A whopping 9.8 today, hope I am not coming down with the lurgy my son has as I want to start a 6 week fitness challenge today which I will finish on Christmas Eve.

Today I will be starting my Christmas cakes, a a couple of weeks later than usual due to my op, but they will still have a few weeks to be fed before decorating.

@Michael12421 - I hope you got those numbers up quickly.

@Telemóveis - well done on your running, there is a few of us on this thread that run.

Have a good Saturday everyone. love to you all.
 
Morning

8.9 today

@Michael12421 hope you've managed to get them up and are ok now

Well Bruce will no doubt be in a mood later, he's a grown man but asks my mum to phone him at 7:30am every Saturday to get him up, seems he left the net on on his phone all night as there's no way he was awake and on FB before 6am and his phone has ran out of power as going straight to voicemail, nobody to blame but himself but we'll all get it 🙄 xx
