Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone.

A really hate being teased by anyone or anything. Grrrr !!! BG 5.3

Have a great day today
 
Good morning.
Recently returned and taking control.
My bloods are always high on a morning, no matter how low they are at bedtime.
I even tried a teaspoon of peanut butter at bedtime to see if that helped, but no,
woke up today on 13.5.

Onward and downward 🙂
 
Morning. I am pleased with 6.7 as yesterday evening around 7:00pm it was 17.3. Since my amputation any miscalculation/error seems to have a far bigger effect. I am convinced my metabolism has slowed right down as I can only use my "leg" for a couple of hours per day.
 
Morning all,

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet, have had an absolute nightmare with libre sensors and have been in a bit of a bad mood because of it!

I’ve had 2 that have just been useless. The last 2 have logged a total of 12 hypos (when I have had none!) and my time in range is now down at 83% with 17% of it all being hypos!

To be fair, I had a 4.1 yesterday and felt like I was having a hypo so would understand that being logged but where did the other 11 come from?!

Going to put on a 3rd one and give it a whole 48 hours before I activate and see what happens.

Anyway finger prick was 6.1 this morning so I’ll go with that.

Spoke to the DSN yesterday and apparently I’ve been referred to her colleague who leads in pumps so looks like the ball is rolling which has cheered me up a bit 🙂

Have a good day!
 
Morning

8.7 today

I didn't say anything on Friday as didn't want anyone to feel guilty (you'll know who you are 😉) but I woke to Diabox reading in the 22's and was like WTF! Pricked and it was in the 11's, logged in here to see a tag that my luck seemed to have changed with sensors 🙄 anyway I couldn't calibrate it as firstly it was out of the calibration range then when it finally got into the calibration range the change rate of glucose was off for calibration, finally managed to calibrate it yesterday afternoon and it seems to be doing ok since, fingers crossed! xx
 
7.3 today. Great night last night with two great acts, tribute to Whitney who was really really good and 3 male singers who did all boy bands from the 60s onwards.
Going to the Range today and jobs to do around the van.
@TinaD congrats on the HS.
Have a good day all x
 
Well done @TinaD on your 5.2 today!

4.9 for me this morning. 🙂

Dez
 
Well I hope you’re all sitting down for this.

5.6

Only managed to get it down after tea last night. Looks like normal food was the best choice for me. Did try missing breakfast and correcting but bg only went up after that.
 
Morning all, 4.8 here, Dawn has deserted me again. She’ll be back with a vengeance soon enough, I tried sending her on holiday, but apart from pestering @ColinUK the other morning, she doesn’t seem to have enjoyed herself.
She's clearly doing a tour of the country as definitely here with me this morning, despite a 3.5 unit increase in basal last night and a 2 unit increase yesterday morning. Spent the day jabbing corrections including 2 stacked ones at bedtime which managed to get down to 6.9 during the night but then Dawn brought it straight back up again and I woke up on 10.9. No idea why my basal needs have suddenly increased so much when they were on the decrease at the start of the week. Arrgh!

@Kaylz I know who I am..... Off to find a sharp knife and some ice to numb my tongue before I cut it out 😳 .... So sorry to have jinxed you. The guilt is no less for being a couple of days late so don't absent yourself on my behalf. Keeping my fingers crossed it was just a minor blip but the sceptic in me says it's unlikely. Would you consider going back to Libre 1?

@TinaD Many congratulations on a House Special this morning. Hope your PA settles down soon. When is your foal due?
Is it her first?

@MeeTooTeeTwo Loving Quordle nearly more than Wordle. No failures on either so far.
