Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone

Bright and sunny here excellent for my walk to the hearing aid appointment in an hours time ish

BG teasing continues with a 5.1
BP 116/78
Pulse 62

All good

The App now recommends supplements based on the days food. Great fun coding it. Very useful too. Before it just a case of a standard set of supplements each day that I had at one time worked out that generally they would be ok and not bust the system. Now it is tailored and thereby safer.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Good morning. A decent 5.3 today. Beautiful day here - clear sky but, as yet, quite cool. Expecting 23 degrees and 29 by Wednesday so Alex and I are planning to bathe Wolf on Tuesday and run the clippers over his undercart.

Yesterday we finished the final field margins, tidied a couple of hedge tops, sprayed the brambles on the track banks and mowed the lawns. I've got a bit of painting to do today on the barn end but other than that I have to say the place looks quite respectable...and happily the pain levels except in the left hand are lower than a snake's belly.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning

7.something for me today

Tested yesterday morning and Bruce was still in bed and oddly he turns to me and asks me to check his BG, he was a nice 5.4 xx
 
5.6 for me today and back to sunshine as well. 🙂

Morning all. 5.3 for me. I was out of target last night but had a hypo after a long day walking so no doubt the rebound from that.
@eggyg the sparrowhawk is beautiful, i've never seen one before. Do you think you could have a word and send it down to us to chase away the pigeons in the garden? They're a real pest with my washing and windows! I hope you and @gll feel better soon.

The couple that tests together stays together!
 
Great start to the day...the hospital just rang and cancelled my hearing aid appointment whichbwas to be this morning.

At least they made another one for 10 days time.

I was all ready to go walk there....glad they rang before I set out. It has mucked up my walking schedule for this morning. Sigh.

Let's hope tomorrows very early second vampire appointment goes ok.
 
Good morning everyone :D

Not been here since November… but decided it’s time to return 🙂

8.8 this morning - still trying to work out the correct insulin ratios since it’s become impossible to contact my diabetes team and my dietitian has also left so weight management is non-existant too…
 
Good morning!
"LO" for me according to Libre but my own fault as I woke an hour earlier to a 3.1 (but didn't feel hypo) and didn't double check or treat it because this Libre reads lower than finger prick by about 1.5mmols and my levels usually rise on a morning. Unfortunately that was a split second decision on waking and I dropped straight back off to sleep which of course meant levels continued to drop. The "LO" was actually only 3.6 when I finger pricked so nothing too desperately naughty. 🙄 Not liking this Libre being so far out as I am having to use far too many test strips and if I don't test I am making poor decisions. Probably not quite far enough out to report it to Abbott yet but I think it is going the same way of the previous one and deteriorating over time and I am losing confidence in it and 9 days to go.

Really concerned to read of so many people with Covid/possible Covid on the thread. Hope you are all feeling better soon. I guess it is probably only a matter of when rather than if now for all of us, but I will continue to duck and dodge as long as possible.

Back to Wordle in 3 today after a 4 yesterday.

Be careful what you wish for! Our pigeons just carry on regardless of the presence of a sparrow hawk in the vicinity, then occasionally we have to dispose of the wings, beak and legs of an unfortunate victim.
 
And it’s a 5.2 for me this fine sunny morning after a 11.1 last night - must have been the cake I had as a treat last night.

I’m not sure if this thread is still active, but taken my bloods again just before lunch and found they are normal at 5.8 and dropped from 9.1 on getting up.

I see @rebrascora has responded. This is a bit of a "chit chat" thread - a way to let off steam and update people on our daily doings. If you are really concerned about what might just be a blip you might start a new thread in "Introduce yourself" or General Discussion, so people will concentrate more on your problem and help 😉

Good morning sunny Sunday 6.9 today

so haven’t been posting and testing every morning, and towards the end of last week I had a few higher than expected readings which following the way the eye department spoke to me back the beginning of last week was all a bit un-necessarily and found it a bit upsetting,
was basically told (by eye dept) in not so many words being Diabetic is all my own fault.
eyes, feet these conditions are all my fault for being uncontrolled diabeti,
I felt like telling her I’m here for eye treatment - mind your own busines, but kept my cool JUST !

So next week I have a telephone consultation with Diabetic consultant from the hospital (Tuesday afternoon)
plus a routine medication review with my GP (phone call) on Wednesday,
might speak to both of them about how I was made to feel by the eye Dr
😎

I had a similar happening, where a Dr who had never met me spoke to me in a similar fashion over the phone. I did put in an official complaint via PALS and got an official apology. Might be worth it, if for nothing else than to ensure the Dr realised her affect on you and modified her attitude with other patients.
 
6.7 this morning, down from 8.2 last night, but only had 2 units of insulin (fixed doses atm) not my usual 3 as dinner was slightly lower carb (50-60g, as opposed to 60-70g), so was happy with that, plus not too much of a drop overnight from the bedtime reading, which I'm told is a good thing!

5.7 for me this morning Was 14 and 11 3 last night Don't know where they came from hadn't eaten or drank anything . Joys of diabetes eh

If you hadn't eaten or drunk anything then perhaps your basal insulin is a little too low. You might want to do a basal test to see.
 
Morning all - another beautiful day. A nice walk beckons!

7.6 at 8am - but 2 JBs and half a biscuit at 0205 when Libre woke me to 4.2.

Been to the Vampire this morning for diabetic bloods. She had a student Dr with her. The student Dr did the blood draw - hence 2 plasters to stop the copious bleeding, one on each arm and 2 bruises developing!

Congrats @Barrowman on the HS.

The sparrowhawk is beautiful!

@ColinUK any Ox cheeks leftover? One of my favourite dishes.
