Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all

9.4 this morning. The best news? There was confusion over my results. My actual PCR came back negative. No covid. Thank goodness. They’d sent me a second message about my positive lateral flow test yesterday morning but failed to state it was in relation to that so I entered the same code twice on the app! I copy and paste it so didn’t even check it. My actual pcr came in yesterday afternoon!

8.1 This morning. And I forgot to mention I have also had my first cataract operation in Sept. Just waiting for news of the second one. Have a good day everyone, the north wind has arrived this morning and its sunny but cold on the top of the mountain!

Ooh how did it go?
Mum has her first on 6th Dec. Friend of hers had his first and second only two weeks apart and I hope that’s similar with mum.
 
6.8 today. Beautiful day in Poole, brilliant sunshine with a chilly North breeze. The lovely Jane wants "a little run out" today, this time to Shaftesbury, luncheon at the Salt Cellar at the top of Gold Hill. It's only about 25 miles away so the electric Leaf should have no difficulty with that. Tescos there have a couple of charge points so I'll just leave it there while we have lunch then do a bit of grocery shopping there afterwards.

View from the Salt Cellar cafe top of Gold Hill Shaftesbury. (Where the old Hovis advert was filmed).
I used to repair TV's here when I was a young strip of a lad in the 1970's. Many tales to tell about that.....for another time.
 
5.6 for me first thing this morning. 🙂

Just tried to ring the cafe and they are now shut on a Sunday so that plan is scuppered. It looks like a trip to the New Forest and lunch at The Fighting Cocks for us (if they can fit us in).
Edit ---- yes we grabbed the last table for lunch. here's a piccie of the pub in the Summer....

6.7 this morning. It is bright and sunny, but oh so cold. Might just try to combine a duvet day with wrapping presents ... lol
 
6.5 this morning. Took my second 1.0 of ozempic last night and think it’s doing something as I was stuffed half way through a bacon sandwich and so only ate half. Unfortunately I prebolused for a whole one so not sure how that will play out
 
7 this morning, still can’t speak, throat sore, started coughing and body aches and a terrible upset tummy, so no run for me this morning. Hoping it passes quickly so I can get back to running, yoga and my fitmas challenge.

@merrymunky - pleased to hear that your result was negative, that must be a relief.

Have a great Sunday everyone.
 
Well! I’ve now discovered why I went lower than expected yesterday & it’s that I’ve started yet another cycle & it’s VERY heavy with lots of clots: haven’t had one of those since my womb oblation in June 2017; that’s 3 cycles in a row now AND it seems not that long ago since the last one! 😱:(

After breakfast & after 11:30 Tresiba was when I discovered that, changed the bed & slept & BS has held pretty steady ish with a slight 0.3 drop in 3 hours thanks to some peanut butter on an oatcake! So, I’ll reduce my NR when I eat in case of sudden drops as the Tresiba is already in & snack on PB on an oatcake before sleeping to hold me steady? 🙄o_O I went to bed on 12:07 BS 7.8 & woke on 15:37 BS 7.5

Discovered yesterday’s basal test that my BS rise in an hour with no active NR on board has now gone from 2mmol an hour on day 1 to 0.7 an hour on day two. There’s no point in testing it today as my cycle is making my BS erratic anyway! So, I’ll hold off on that & actually have to keep testing to stay above BS 7.5 ish to give me space to drop reasonably safely & top it up further by snacking before I sleep! I’ll call my DSN tomorrow & may reduce the Tresiba a bit then? 🙄
 
Sunday morning was 6.9 (@ 09:00 am)
 
Beat me to it....BG 4.8 this morning at 5am

Day 2 of self isolation. All ok.

A new update to the App today. New feature.

Had an M&S slow cooked pulled teriyaki beef thing yesterday for tea. Only 100g of it though. Wow was it good. Best beef I have ever tasted (possibly). Accompanied with some green beans and peas. Hopefully there is a picture of it (presentation is poor).

The problem I have, and have always had, is that I like my hot food to be hot, so getting a picture of it was a very dashed thing. I have never been able to understand people going to all the trouble of cooking good food only to mess about at serving time so that the food is barely warm when actually eaten. But that's me.

6.7 after a bad nights sleep and don’t fancy work but need the pennies. Have a good day all x
 
Good morning 5.7

Have a great day everybody
 
Good morning. 8.6 and two overnight spikes have reduced my TIR by 4%. Still ok but i was doing so well :(

Back to work this morning. Tired after a busy weekend and its going to be a very long busy week.

Have a good day everyone.
 
05:41 BS 7.0 🙂

After a few short intervals to just eat I slept a LOT & managed to maintain BS from 6.7 to 7.6 AND, THANKFULLY, the cycle has slowed to a trickle although, now I’m up again, it may pick up speed? 🙄

I had a look back on my posts on this thread, VERY useful at times, & it was only last week that my last cycle ended but, exactly a month since the one before last! Also, the last one came back a few days later because of my chill when I was coughing so, I suppose the timing is about right after all: just MUST try not to catch a chill/cold during or just after a cycle! o_O

Just finished breakfast of veg. soup, ready made & thank goodness I had some, & a ham sandwich about 25 minutes ago, as I type, so, too soon to test yet! 😛

Maybe I’ll keep the Tresiba as it is as it’ll take another 3 days to see the full effects &, hopefully, cycle will be more or less done by then? If I decrease it; I’ll only have to increase it again! 🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Morning all, 4.3 here, the run of 4s continues. Funnily enough, my levels during the day aren’t affected at all, I just keep plummeting as soon as I go to bed. Last night I needed jelly babies at 3am, and They brought me up, but then I immediately dropped again. I've held off adjusting basal assuming it was a temporary thing, but I think I may have to have a rethink.
