Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone hope you're all well 🙂
7:41am - 13.4 above target for me - unknown reason - 15 units of tresiba done - 2.5 units correction
23:21pm bedtime - 7.1 within target - also within 7.0-8.0 for going to bed - had 1x blue riband biscuit 11g of carbs and 1x rich tea biscuit 6g of carbs - no humalog
19:10pm before tea - 6.8 within target - 80g of carbs - 8.0 units of humalog for food - no correction.

Before breakfast today
9:47am - 6.8 - 36g of carbs - 4.5 units humalog food

Corrections yesterday were before lunch & before breakfast
13:43pm before lunch - 11.4 - 63g of carbs - 6.5 units humalog food - 1.5 units correction
9:49am before breakfast - 9.7 - 36g of carbs - 4.5 units humalog food - 1.0 unit correction

Question
was my waking bgl this morning something to do with my supper at bedtime?
did my correction at 7:41am bring me down too quick? - at 9:47am before breakfast I was 6.8.

What happens to it the rest of the week?
 
No Park Run for me today. I’ve dosed up on day nurse etc and am in bed.

Cooker arrived yesterday so that’s sitting in the living room for a week until the electrician comes to do his magic.

6.8 this morning (and it was this morning but I just forgot to post!)
 
Happy Birthday @freesia hope you thoroughly enjoy your weekend away xx

Hello and welcome from me too.
Look forward to getting to know you better.
Are you on insulin yet and if so, which ones?
Do you have Freestyle Libre or are you finger pricking?
 
Thank you everybody for your good wishes. I've had a lovely day. Just got back to the hotel room, well fed and well watered :D o_O 😉 with the odd glass of wine or two. Levels have behaved themselves as well mostly today. All in all, the best day i've had in a while. Thank you @MeeTooTeeTwo, loving the picture.

I hope you've all had a good day today.

Late up this morning.

BG 4.5 very good. I used to be very fearful of a BG in the 4's thinking that the sky would cave in at any moment. Looking at the weather yesterday, perhaps it did. Strangely, I managed to get out for two short walks and managed to avoid the rain but it was very cold.

Weight very stable. Good

I cooked mince last night instead of the expected pizza. It was good but I could only eat half of the portion made. I will have the rest of that portion at lunch time today. Had it been 'before' I would have just scoffed the lot!!!

I plan a great excursion to the local sainsburys later on this morning. I need a plastic potato masher, not that we have any plastic potatoes 🙂 . I don't want to damage our new non stick saucepans. I've got a complete set of silicone kitchen utensils on order for Christmas, except that the set does not include a potato masher. So I guess that it is not a complete set!

Another thing that this diabetes has done for me...it has improved my cooking skills (if you can call them that). However, my food presentation skills are still a bit numpty mainly because I like to get hot food onto a hot plate and eaten whilst it's still hot....no time for faffing about making it look pretty!!! 🙂 I wonder how they do it in restaurants?
 
Morning world.
6.5 this morning.
Started recording my food on My Fitness Pal. Terrifying!
Also did a class at the gym yesterday. My shoulders still aren't talking to me ...
Have a good day x
 
Now that is interesting Nikki53 . I almost fainted when I did my first set of meal calculations over a year ago. Then panic set in when I thought that I couldn't possibly survive if I removed the carbs.

The truth was that a significant reduction of carbs was ok but it took a while to sort out what foods were suitable, that I liked, and would sustain me.

Now, I experiment with new recipies and try out some foods I wouldn't have touched with a barge pole before.

It's become fascinating and enjoyable.

Having a team of chefs probably helps!
Get a potato ricer instead of a masher. It makes a huge difference if you’re mashing anything root veggie.
 
Still a bit coldified and a 6.7 this morning.

About to shower and head outside for a moderate run.
Booked a yoga and a Pilates class at the gym and I’m aware that I’m rapidly approaching the 12 week countdown to the London Landmarks Half Marathon so want to formalise a training plan.
I’m likely to follow the one from the DUK team with additional park runs thrown in but couldn’t do it yesterday was coughing way too much.
Can’t make it next Saturday as the electrician will be here doing his magic.
I’m keen to do one on Christmas Day though!

Watched the opening of Strictly last night and I didn’t particularly enjoy J&J’s dance even before the mishap.
Doubt they’ll be in the dance off tonight regardless but if they are I expect them to be perfect and to smash it out of the park.
 
Good morning 6.1 on waking today

hope that everybody is having a great weekend
 
Morning all and yet another 7.2. Grandson goes home today, I’m pooped. Didn’t get around to making the mince pies last night as took forever to dress the tree and went to the park, OMG it was freezing, I knew hubby should have gone instead of me, walked too briskly and oops the inevitable happened!!
Today will be clearing up the mess from my grandson and from all the decorating, trip to Sainsbury’s needed and a lovely bath.
@Sheila.taylor12 welcome to the forum.
Have a good day all x
 
I have never heard of a potato ricer before. Just looked it up and I am intrigued. Thanks for the suggestion ColinUK.

I might even get one. Being metal don't they make the potato cold or is it so quick it makes no difference?
