Group 7-day waking average?

@ColinUK sorry to hear your having issues with your stuff, my things go to Bruce's and there's a sign on his door and I leave a note in the tracking to leave things behind the porch door, one day it was a different postie and he took it back to the sorting office despite leaving Bruce a package behind the porch door, damned annoying as it's only open while Bruce is at work but thankfully being a small town I messaged a woman at the sorting office on FB and she put it back out the next day lol xx
 
4.4 which was fine as it’s been a straight line all night. However it’s just alarmed to say 4.3, fingerprick is 5.5 so not doing anything about it.

Houseguests arriving later today for the weekend, so I expect it will be mad now with more food/drinks than normal.

Some of you seem to be getting plenty of exercise, good for you!

@ColinUK what a dire situation. However it might help to know that parcels are the responsibility of the seller until the buyer has actually received them (sale of goods act 2015 IIRC). So rather than get into it with the post office, I’d ring the seller and let them sort it out.

Looks like now you’ve reduced your basal a bit, you may not have needed that third rich tea. Especially as you were only just below target at bedtime.
 
got a 6.00 this morning, thought it might be a high one after having a 6 inch subway yesterday lunchtime, but I guess managing 32 minute on the exercise bike, after dinner, did the trick 🙂
 
Good morning, 7.3 this morning after being exhausted yesterday evening. Busy day today but taking my time around things x
 
Good morning today 7.7 and much better for past 5 days. Need to get tea time level sorted out
 
Just had a phone call from the post office. They found the parcel.
Peculiarly it was apparently on top of the staff lockers.
 
That WOW! is as much because they actually admitted it, rather than that that is where they located it!
 
Hello all. 11.3 for me today. Better than the last few days but still frustratingly high. I am being so very good this week though so hoping I continue a downward trend.

In other frustrating news I had a very, very faint shadow of a line on my routine lateral flow test this morning so had to book a pcr test and call into work to let them know. I have had a bit of a tight feeing chest for a couple of days and Eris has had a cough following a cold so can’t be too careful. I’m double jabbed and have already had it once. It’s ripping through our school again and taking down people who have also had both jabs and had covid previously.
 
11:31 BS 7.1 JUST a smidge over target 5 hours after breakfast & 1st. Tresiba dose just went in! First impressions are VERY good! 🙂 I didn’t notice this until I had the needle in& dialling up 76 units: the back of the pen DOSEN’T stick out like the Levemir & Novopens & I just press the button; a LOT easier to push in large doses for my small hands & I could hear the reservoir, I’m guessing, emptying slowly so, definitely need to count to the full 6 seconds to get the full dose! I always counted to 24 with LR & NR: was told at the start to give it 10 seconds; it takes me about 20 to 24 counts to get the full 10 seconds as I count much faster!🙄 Now then, we’ll see if I can stay around 7 in between meals today?🙄
 
Good luck with the Tresiba @Lanny. Really hope it works well for you and will be interested to follow your progress with it.
 
30c in the living room and I'm sat shivering, was 7.5 before dinner, took 4.5u to cover my sandwich and cake bar and less than an hour and a half later was hypo and sweating like goodness knows what! 🙄 Haven't done anything different today and obviously I never usually have this problem, hoping it's just a one off! xx

Hope the Tresiba works for you. I expect it will take a few days before you know whether the dose is correct. If I remember rightly (I was considering it at one point), it lasts three days, but you take it every day so the doses overlap, and this means when you first start on it, it takes three days until you’ve got it up to full strength in your system.
 
Well! I deliberately held off eating lunch for an hour & rather alarmingly in 1 hour at 12:32 BS 9.1 a 2mmol rise! Went ahead & had lunch with a +4 NR correction for starting so high & it’s still high around the 1.5 hours mark 14:24 BS 11.4 & it may not have peaked yet as I find I peak around 2 hours after these days!

In reading the info leaflet it says 3 days to see full effects as it lasts for 42 hours & it’ll be Monday at least before any changes! I may need to compensate a LOT with NR corrections this weekend! Left a message with my DSN but, not expecting a call back until Monday at least!
 
Forgot to say! I’ll wait & see what it peaks at at 2 hours, now 1 hour & 54 as I look, before deciding to correct with NR?
 
Personally I wouldn't correct at 2 hours @Lanny unless your certain on how much NR you still have on board, when I was newly diagnosed and wasn't sure if I got a full dose of Tresiba I was advised to just correct with my NR if needed until my next dose xx
