Group 7-day waking average?

Managed some more sleep after last night’s delayed dinner: that’s what I’m calling my meal earlier! 🙄 So, up properly NOW with 07:39 BS 5.3 with no DP! Yay! MUCH better!:D Just finished munching a small breakfast: just a bit more than a DP bust; vegetable soup!😛
 
4.4 for me this morning. 🙂

Dez
 
5.9 and glad to see it. Never go food shopping in the middle of a family crisis and when hungry. Checked out a trolleyfull of keto compliant products but what's this - a stowaway luxury stollen? So got home, sat down to read documents, provide advice and, you guessed it, ate the whole loaf...BG 22 after 3 hours...Back to sanity this morning - a day for fish and contemplation of my sins.
 
Morning all this horrible wet day. 7.6 this morning, due to not eating dinner until 10:15 last night, then not wanting to eat what I had bolussed for, so went to bed on 4.7 at 11.30 with pump on 80%. Obviously 80% was too low. Still the christmas decorations are now up.

Enjoy your Friday people.

I am going to stick my hand up and say that I was offended by the wording on the picture which was very misogynistic, more than the photo itself, although I didn't like that either, and I reported it. I also felt that the photo had no relevance to the thread whatsoever and in fact, if anything, totally inappropriate for a diabetes forum even if it was posted in fun.
I am not particularly PC but I find the use of that word directed to a female by a male in an obviously aggressive tone which suggests that the woman is subservient, highly offensive! Maybe you have to be a woman to understand that, but clearly the forum admin agreed with concern.

You did ask a couple of weeks ago about posting some of the other photos and cartoons if people found it offensive and whilst I wasn't comfortable with some of them, I was not offended by them, but the last two have crossed the line for me I am afraid.

Barbara- Thanks for letting me know. I try to be a bit lighthearted and as I said I have no wish to offend anyone in these PC days. I will be more careful in future. Today's should be ok......Cheers Tony.
 
7.4 today. Rain overnight, blue skies atm. 11deg. Maybe a bike ride today if I can budge myself from the couch......

Morning

8.4 today (although if you believe the Libre it's 3.8 🙄) it started drifting out yesterday, it is due to be changed on Sunday but I will be tempted to report it as it's no use constantly reading hypo xx
 
Morning all from a damp Hawkshead. 6.5 which I’m very happy with after yesterday’s numbers! 😱 Festive ciabatta for lunch in Grasmere and pie and chips in the pub for tea! Didn’t make curry in the end as the monkfish was still frozen solid! It was a very, very cold day yesterday.

Will do some gentle walking as still testing out my pelvis/hip/back. Although looking at yesterday’s Libre graph I think it was a prediction. I have to climb two Wainwrights! 😉

Have a fab Friday. Glad op went well @Gwynn. 🙂

Morning All
A 7.8 for me this morning. Better than the previous week.
Spoke to DSN yesterday who agreed insulin should go up even though consultant wants to keep levels higher than normal due to DVLA and getting bus license back. (I can drop to below 4 but Dvla don’t like it and if outside help needed then kiss license goodbye for 12 months)
Basal Lantus at bedtime up 1 unit to 7 and Bolus NovoRapid stays at 4 units Breakfast and Lunch 6 units at Dinner unless BG 12.0 or more than dose increases by 1 unit.
We’ll see what happens!
Have a good day.

Good luck with satisfying the DVLA.
 
Good morning everyone and hope you're all well 🙂
8:06am 7.3 within target for me and 15 units of tresiba done

22:53pm bedtime 6.5 within target but below 7mmol-8mmol and had 4x rich tea biscuits which is 24g of carbs. No humalog.

I'm really pleased that I'm within target at bedtime and on waking but why can I have 24g of carbs at bedtime with no humalog and wake up in target? I would be glad of any advice.

18:52pm before tea 8.6 above target a tiny bit and unknown reason. 61g of carbs for tea - 6.5 units humalog for food.

Hope everyone has a lovely day
🙂
 
Morning everyone.
7.4 on waking up earlier than I would have liked to. My brother (lives in australia) has a knack for picking that one day I get to sleep in and phone me at 8am our time. Still, got to video chat with my 18 month niece so cant be too mad <3

Hope you all have a great day 🙂

So, easily done isn’t it? If I go food shopping when hungry I get AA sorts of naughty things I know I shouldn’t & once it’s bought & there it’s a temptation VERY hard to resist! :D

6.2 this morning.
Cold is definitely easing but the cough is exhausting.
New running shoes (another pair of trail shoes) arrived yesterday and I love ‘em!

They’re a bit low key and reserved lol

loving them, my current running shoes are plain black, which is totally not me at all. Thank you for sharing a bit of running shoe porn. I see we are both on the same diabetes runner facebook page.

The trouble with DVLA is that they use slugs snails tortoise and a koala bear.
The slugs and snails move really slowly and the tortoise has gone into hibernation.
The Koala bear is okay but sleeps for 20 hours per day and eats for 4 hours. Doesn’t leave much time for work.
 
Good morning,

An improved 6.7 for me this morning, so hopefully I am getting back on track.

@TinaD - I think many of us been there with the buying something and then eating it one go because of emotions.

@ColinUK - loving the new shoes and hope you get over the cough quickly.

After today I have 4 days off of work, going to try and get some of the 16 Christmas Cakes I am doing decorated they are all baked, need to make an edible gift (I am making chocolate fudge) for our Bakeclub Christmas meal on Monday, and best bit get the Christmas decorations up. Might have to do a bit of Christmas shopping as well, but stuck for ideas for my daughter, her boyfriend and my son.

Have a lovely day everyone.
 
@mum2westiesGill if your anything like me then it's probably that you require less basal overnight but isn't possible with Tresiba hence having to eat to stop a drop xx

Thanks.
In this case is it good that we're on Tresiba? xx
 
Good morning everyone.

I was with @eggyg on the 6.5 step earlier this morning and very happy to be there and in such good company!

I spoke too soon about levels behaving themselves yesterday as they tried to escape out of the top perimeter last night before my evening meal but I caught them and contained them with a good dose of Fiasp. Took 2 hours for 5.5 units of Fiasp to bring me down from 9.2 to a nice 6 so that I could eat a bowl of pea and ham soup (approx. 20g carbs) Added an extra unit of Levemir as a further containing measure. Went to bed on 7.7 and woke up on 6.5. Very happy I managed to keep the beast within in it's enclosure. It's getting devious and persistent in it's attempts! Another unit on my morning Levemir as well but looks like it is trying to breach the top perimeter again now despite that.

Got the vet coming out today to see Rascal this afternoon, who has managed to injure his eye. Think he has scratched the lens on a bit of hedge or something as it has been half closed and weeping for days. I had hoped it would resolve itself with daily bathing on my part, but spoke to the vet about it yesterday and decided I want him to come and have a look at it, even though my gut feeling is that we are starting to turn a corner with it. I just don't want to leave it another weekend, just in case I am wrong. Hopefully the vet will examine it and say, just keep doing what you are doing. That reassurance would be welcome even when it comes with an invoice. My vet is really good and always at the end of the phone if I need advice, which is offered free, so I don't begrudge paying for a call out and treatment when I need it.... or hopefully no treatment in this case.
