Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 5.9 today.
My vaccine malaise seems to have been short lived, arm very stiff but otherwise I’m fine. I didn’t even get dressed until about 2 yesterday and had a nana nap. No chance of that today, already showered, dressed and breakfasted. Baby Zara day. Will get out for a walk at some point today, supposed to be dry!

Have a Happy Monday. 🙂
 
Morning all, 5.5 here. Off to meet a friend for a walk and coffee at a convenient NT property half way between hers and mine. Hope it’s not too muddy (the walk, not the coffee, though that too, I suppose)!
 
Good morning everyone.

Day off jabbing yesterday. Just couldn’t be bothered with it tbh.
This morning 5.3 - so near and yet so far!
 
What a morning already! Sensor stopped working to applied new one, finger pricked to drive to work but its too low to drive (not hypo) and taking a while to go back up. Thought i'd have juice to get it up quickly so i can get to work, gave the juice bottle a little shake, someone hadn't put the top on properly, juice all over the floor!!
 
Morning all. 🙂 4.0 here.

OH had his booster yesterday and is complaining about his arm and neck this morning - very sore, apparently. I’m not the most sympathetic person, so he’ll have to get his “Aw, poor you” from the dogs. They owe him a few tummy tickles. :D😛

I LOVE the Masked Singer @Kaylz - such a daft idea for a programme! And the audience look like they’re having a FANTASTIC time...wotz not to like?😎
 
A round 4.0 for me earlier. 🙂

Morning

7.5 today

@Bloden it's great, that's 2 out of 3 we've got this series (didn't get Chandelier), I haven't seen a few of them though so can't make guesses for a couple, I'm probably totally wrong but Saturday I got a feeling Robobunny was someone from Westlife, possibly Mark but we'll wait and see as might change my mind yet lol xx
 
Weellll!😱o_O That was a bit of a strange experiment with unexpected results! I actually put in 3 tsp of caramel syrup & my 2 hour test was a rather high 07:26 BS 12.1 but, left it to see where I finish at? Now at the 4 hour test it’s dropped a lot 09:26 BS 5.8. As for the coffee: it tasted a lot better with the sweetness as the flavours did indeed come out; just a teeny bit too sweet & will try 2 tsp of syrup next time! Just need to get the bolus right! It’s trickier than I realised before because the liquid sugar coearly hits my bloodstream very fast & then, drops very fast too!😱 I’ll try 2tsp of syrup tomorrow & reduce NR to +6, for safety, & see how that goes?:confused:
 
5.8 for me at 06:50 on this grey and damp West Berks morning. Have a great week everyone
 
Greetings!

A naughty 2.9 on my Libre this morning although finger prick said 4.4. 🙄 That was my third "alleged" trip into the red during the night and there is more red on my trace than black. 😱 My teeth will be rotten from all the rubbish I had to eat although I do my best to swill my mouth with water each time. That was despite a 2.5 unit decrease in basal last night and some really lovely sound sleep in between the wake ups to treat hypos. Have to confess I woke up at one stage and scanned 4.1 but fell straight back off to sleep before I actually took anything for it. o_O

I was a very bad girl yesterday! I ate a whole box of "Deluxe" dark chocolate chocolates that I bought as a thankyou gift for someone. (supposedly 49.8g/100g) which wasn't as bad as I expected actually.... but still a huge amount of insulin and of course I promised myself I wouldn't eat them all but I did, so it was injected in 3 goes. I have been having problems with my stomach recently so cut out all my favourite treats containing caffeine, salt, acidity and alcohol and I think that added restriction in diet just pushed me over the edge and I lost it! 185g of chocolates gone in one afternoon! That would have been reasonably normal for me pre diagnosis but first time I have lost it since then. Of course I injected insulin for it but boy, did it rev the old ticker and make me shake! Not sure if it was the sugar or the fact that I had been so naughty and lost control or a combination of both. Managed to haul myself out for a long ride with my partner but was 15.8 and rising when we got back, so jabbed in 4 correction units which normally would be conservative at that sort of level, but promptly hypoed me an hour and a half later. I then had to haul feed buckets and haylage up the hill to feed my horses because I couldn't drive the Freelander, which I had just loaded up all ready to go and I didn't want to hang around for an hour whilst their warm feeds (and myself) got cold.
Reduced my Levemir to take that into account last night but clearly not enough. I also went to bed early and the longer I sleep the lower my levels drop, especially with really good deep sleep. Just topping up my bedside hypo treatment portions as I depleted them last night and had to reach into my bag (next to the bed) for extras.
 
Morning all. At least it’s not raining - for the moment!

5.5 this morning.

Not much on today except picking up a prescription and some supermarket shopping to make a new recipe from this month’s Delicious magazine. A Pork fillet wrapped in parma ham (we have a packet a day past the “use by”) on a bed of fennel and orange, served with spinach and butter beans. Sounds interesting, we shall see.

Wishing everyone a good day.
 
Morning everyone 🙂 at 7:27 BG 6.9 within target. 13u Tresiba done.

Whatever everyone is up to have a great day 🙂

I've got work in a bit 11:30 til 1pm 🙂
 
Morning All
A 5.8 this morning so that was good.
@TinaD I have a funny feeling if you want logic diabetes is the wrong place to look. A Big Dipper at a fun fair knows where it’s going but we just sit and watch or ride it to the finish.

Sounds like you’ve got it sewn up, hahaha.
 
05:01 BS 8.1 A bit better! 🙂

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

After ending up with hypo treatments twice when I dipped into 4.5 & 4.4 at 5 hours after & 6 hours after I had my lunch with -6 NR, 30 instead of usual 36, & the rest of the day settled down. Then, went to bed on 10.5 at the 2 hours after dinner mark which is a higher than I like but, certainly safer after breakfast! 🙄

So, I’ve decided to forgo the coffee this morning & try again either at lunch, around 10 to 11 when I get up around 5, or tomorrow? Just a breakfast sausage muffin & usual 40 NR. 🙄

Almost finished season 4 of Dynasty where Fallon has a car accident & goes missing for a bit at the start of season 5 because the original actress, Pamela Sue Martin, left & was replaced with Emma Samms.

Season 5 was the height of the show’s popularity & the infamously outrageous cliffhanger “The Maldovian Massacre” at the end. Alexis’ secret daughter Amanda joins the cast & the family go to Europe, Maldovia, for her wedding to the Prince of Maldovia, there’s a coup going on & everybody gets gunned down! 😱 Viewers had to wait for season 6 to see who survived?:confused::D😛😎😉 It’s one of the best remembered cliffhangers ever of any tv show &, to me, more memorable than Dallas’ “Who Shot JR?” Which, incidentally, that season Dynasty beat Dallas for the number 1 spot in the ratings war!o_O
