Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

11.4 after yet more Lifts, yesterday I had to have about 12 throughout the day despite reducing bolus doses!

Upstairs seem to be having a lie in seen as there's no school for the rest of the week, today and tomorrow are in service days and they have Friday off for St Andrews day despite it being yesterday 🙄 Bruce's mum hasn't been in all week though as the primary school she is at was closed Monday and Tuesday due to building safety issues caused by the storm xx
 
6.2 this morning with a nice straight line overnight. Slept like a log for a change after going to bed on 6.8.

Thank you @eggyg and @Robin for the info about Mary Berry. I had thought they were repeats so hadn’t bothered watching. Shall now catch up on iPlayer! I love cookery programmes too, fortunately so does hubby as he says he benefits from my trying out the recipes.

@Barfly, I know it was a joke, but honestly I hate to see young kids fat like that. What health problems are they storing up for themselves?
 
9 after treating myself to some chocolate after having my booster jab yesterday. Feeling ok at the moment so hoping to get out for a run with the group this evening, even if it is the hill repeats.

@ColinUK - hope you start feeling better soon, if your friend does not accept the Advent Calendar at least you know you have tried by buying one and trying to deliver it.

Christmas panic starts now.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning to you all. Gwynn's post made me realise that I skip these important civilities each morning, so my apologies to you all and I will try to do better.

6.4 for me this morning which I am incredibly relieved about as my levels went up and up and up again last night despite several corrections and no appreciable carbs. Went to bed on 12.6 with an upward sloping arrow and 3 active "stacked" corrections and a basal increase. No idea what is going on but I have upped my morning basal another 2 units as well. I have just gone from one extreme to another in a matter of a week. I was reluctant to go to bed with that situation but it was getting worse the longer I stayed up and worried about it and sleep often brings it down.... and sure enough it did..... a nice steady downward slope on my graph. I guess I need to remember to take my basal earlier tonight. With having spent the last few years taking it at bedtime and now taking it at 7pm I forget sometimes and it was just after 9pm when levels were heading upward that I realised.
 
Pinch punch first of the month
and goodbye November......

Good morning everyone hope you're all good 🙂
7:06am 5.8 within my target so I'm happy with this
15 units of tresiba done
22:48pm before bed 7.9
at this level I don't think I should really of had any rich tea biscuits but I gave in to temptation and had 1 which is 6g of carbs
@rebrascora or anyone what do you think of these levels?
I also had 1x half tumbler of red wine and 1x 16g bag of quavers with no bolus in between having tea and bedtime.

Gill, your waking reading is ideal so your decision to have one biscuit was spot on..... although I don't know how you managed to fit it it after all that other food!

Myself I'd of been terrified of doing stackable corrections or even stackable food insulin but you know what you're doing also especially going to bed with active insulin - very brave. I'm so pleased for you that your level has come back down 🙂 so we'll done!

Thanks @rebrascora but maybe it would have been an even better level if I hadn't of given in to temptation but who knows

Gill, if you hadn't had that biscuit, your waking reading would almost certainly have been lower and that would have been less ideal. Your range is 5-8 isn't it? Without that biscuit, you would likely have been in the 4s so slightly outside your range.
 
9.5km walk done. Stopped off at Boots to get more emergency Day/Night Nurse and left the advent calendar on the doorstep of the friend.

Popped into Waitrose and forgive me but I bought bread. A wonderful smelling seeded sourdough rustique thing.
Screw diabetes for a few days, I’ve got Man Flu and want carbs!
 
6.4 this morning. Didn't get as much wrapping up done yesterday as daughter messaged me, the option to go shopping at the city centre was too strong to resist - came home with more presents to wrap .... 🙄
Went to coffee morning today only to find it closed, I never got the message, so back home to thaw out, hot drink and some late breakfast. Got another delivery coming today, but most for me! So time to get some wrapping done I think!
Enjoy your day 🙂

I recall hearing a father say to his similar sized child 'if you don't finish your chips you can't have the Mars bar'
 
Eeek how disgusting.

I received a thank you text for the advent calendar so that’s a huge positive 🙂

How many of us were told we couldn’t have dessert if we didn’t finish our main meal? I know I was certainly told that.
If I refused to eat dinner (which was a rarity for me) I’d get it served up the next day at lunch and then again at dinner if necessary.
My brother used to eat anything covered in custard served by mum. So sometimes she’d liquidise his previously refused dinner and mix it with sugar then top it with custard and he’d happily eat it.

Kids eh!

Good morning to you all. I love the 'good mornings' here. Makes it so pleasant. So very human and personal.

BG 4.8 back to the 4's

Day 10 of my 10 day self isolation which means the op is tomorrow. I was so nervous about it last night I ate half a bar of Lindt 90% dark chocolate and yet my weight this morning dropped 0.2Kg. I don't know why I am feeling so nervous because the op will be completely painless. I think it's the worry about if it goes wrong and I lose the sight in one eye...

Just wrestling with a logic problem to do with dates in my App

Ahh 1st of Dec. I can open the first Advent calendar month door and scoff the hidden chocolate. I will wait until later until my wife has got up (usually around lunch time. I kid you not)

Lots of little op preparation stuff things to do and to remember today

Have a great day whatever you are doing

I’m just catching up on some of the posts I’ve missed
I don’t have the time to trawl through them these days so much work related stress
plus really need my reading glasses in low low lighting conditions..

I do hope the operation goes to plan @Gwynn

I remember being told (as a kid on many occasion) I couldn’t be excused and leave the table until I’d eaten up my food… :confused:
 
First up. First Op. Nervous/anxious.

So let's start the day positive...BG 4.8 Ok it's not the magic number but it IS very respectable AND my evening reading yesterday WAS 5.2

Todays the day. Not sure what to expect. But I think it might be a sort of conveyor belt of patients treated on a thing like at the opticians with good legal care before hand and good health care post op.

My wife has been a real gem over it all too.

Gotta finish a minor App update before I go.

I will let you all know how it goes and the outcome.
