Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 7.1 today

have a great day everybody
 
Good morning everyone.

I have reassessed my personal goals and because of that I have increased my goal weight to 57Kg. This will take my BMI to smack in the middle of the chart for ideal BMI and, more importantly, I feel better and look better too. I originally went down to 54.something and I looked dreadful, felt good though but it was an undue strain to maintain it at that level. With winter and less exercise looming I felt it a good idea to resduce my stress of trying to keep to an almost unachieveable goal.as long as I don't start climbing ever upwards but hold my weight at (or near ) the goal then that's ok.

BG 4.4 it's nearly always the low 4s now. This is good as long as it doesn't drop to the 3's. Bodes well for my next HbA1c test whenever that is.

Went for a long long walk yesterday as it wasn't so cold and it wasn't raining!!! Enjoyed it too. I have a great little mp3 player which gives me a completely random selection of classical music pieces as I walk. Without it I would be so bored I would probably not bother to exercise at all.

I start my pre op self isolation on Sunday...

Have a great day everyone
 
Morning all. 6.4 on rising ( not waking as I was already awake!)
Baby Zara has been a good little girl. Went to bed no bother at 7.I heard her murmuring to herself at 4.45, scratching at the travel cot, clicking her tongue and just generally chatting. She did this for about 40 minutes so I was awake. Eventually dosed off but not for long as she cried out at 6.15, which is her getting up time. I’m afraid I committed the cardinal sin of sitting her in front of CBeebies whilst I did my basal and warmed her bottle up. I’d forgotten you needed eight arms and eyes in the back of your head with a baby!

I’m not sure when I’ll get my breakfast, maybe about lunch time!

Have a good day. TGIF to the wage slaves. 🙂
 
Morning all. 9.6 for me. Not bad after booster vaccine testerday and a night out with the girls last night. Food and 2 1/2 glasses of wine, on a week night as well!! Tired this morning. Glad its Friday!
 
6.2 for me today.after going to bed at 8 pm I didn’t have any sleep the night before due to my arm be very sore after my booster.hope you all have a lovely day x
 
Snap @goodybags a 7.1 for me also. Shock this morning as my scales show I have put on half a stone in 2 weeks, better sort that out, guess it because I’m not doing any form of exercise.
I was gobsmacked yesterday. My daughter told me she is having a firm come in to do a home cocktail party for her birthday and you can have as many cocktails as you like for £45!! I said I can’t have cocktails really and she said that I’m not a real diabetic as my level is in the pre-diabetic range. Needless to say my daughter got a verbal lesson in T2 diabetes grrr!
Have a good day all x
 
7.0 today. dull and overcast today in Poole, 12-13deg no wind, so off on the bike around Whitecliffe, Baiter Poole Quay and Hamworthy again. I usually do the Hengistbury Head ride to Christchurch on a Monday when it's market day, less trafffic up the head on a Monday so it's better for a bike ride. I try to avoid the week-ends, too many ordinary dog walkers and professional dog walkers with their multiple long leads and half a dozen dogs.2025704420_9d5d654c72.jpg
 
5.3 this morning which is gratefully received but undeserved as I gave in to a pot of yoghurt at midnight to quell rumblings. Another grey morning but visibility now 4km whereas yesterday morning it was 200m, mild and very still not a leaf trembling.
 
7.1 for me this morning but I dropped 3 times during the night and caught it each time in the mid to low 4s so feeling well chuffed... (Breath on finger nails and polish on lapel emoji). I kept my evening Levemir at 3units because I wasn't so active yesterday but clearly that was not the right decision. Unfortunately I then totally blotted my copy book this morning due to a change of routine because I stayed at Ian's last night and ended up hypo before breakfast, not helped by the fact that I didn't have enough Levemir in my cartridge for my morning dose when I woke up, so by the time I got home changed the cartridge and injected the 5 units I was short, I was behind with my morning routine and as I sat down to have breakfast, I was horrified to see Libre showing 2.8 with a vertical downward arrow 😱 although I was aware that I was starting to feel wobbly... scoffed 2 fizzy worms pronto to slow the drop and did a quick finger prick 3.3 (not good but at least not as bad as Libre suggested) and then ate the breakfast that I had just prepared. All good now at a nice 5.6 with an horizontal line but a big red mark on my Libre graph. :(
 
Morning

6.8 for me xx
 
6.3 this morning after a remarkably flat day yesterday with readings between 4.8 and 5.8 all day.
Been for a walk to the local post office to collect the parcel containing test strips which they left a "We can't be bothered to put this through your letterbox this time although we usually manage just fine" for. Of course this huge delivery office can't find the package.
"You sure it's here you're picking it up from mate?"
"Well that's the instructions on the card I've just shown you..."
"We normally have problems finding your stuff don't we?!"
"Yes. Yes you do. Every single time. And it's not as if it's ever anything important like medical supplies or prescription drugs which keep me alive"
"Well mate, don't know what to do because we've looked and it's not here."

Utterly, utterly useless.
 
5.5 for me earlier this morning. 🙂

Good morning everyone 🙂 at 7:43am it was 9.5 above target for me but it's only a tiny bit above target - had 15.0 units of tresiba and at this level I will correct if needed at breakfast time.

Bedtime
23:39pm 6.9 within target but below 7 - 8mmol for bedtime so had 2x rich tea biscuits but then a while later had 1 more

Before tea
19:09pm 5.7 - 96g of carbs - 9.5 units of humalog food but.....ended up after finishing tea having a baileys éclair 6.72g of carbs with no humalog with it being under 10g

During the evening had 1x whisky & diet coke and 1x bag of bacon frazzles 11g of carbs

I would love some replies on what anyone thinks of my bgls 🙂
 
A 5.5 for me at 06:41 this morning. I have to head into town this morning - covid booster at 11:35
