Group 7-day waking average?

Which silly billy forgot to press the key to post his 5.8 reading earlier. 😳🙄

Extremely happy with my own result this morning. 5.1 and a pretty straight line overnight although I had to stay up late to see how some stacked corrections panned out before bed but they clearly were needed and now looking like my HRT patch is kicking in thank goodness. Really must be more on the ball with that to keep levels more manageable. Think I may have managed not to have a hypo yesterday and only 2 tiny blips into the 10s at the top end so almost a "unicorn day". Definitely feeling more in control of things myself today. It is a relief.

Bet you wouldn't have forgotten if it was a 5.2 :D 🙄
 
6.9 this morning. And no complaints about that from me!
 
And it’s a 4.6 for me today after a 12.1 on retiring last night, must have been the three slices of bread I had with my home made veg soup.
 
09:54 BS 8.4

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

Tingles have abated a lot now & ALMOST tingle free so, will start increasing insulin a wee bit & see how that goes? If tingles get worse I’ll go back down a bit! It’s just a bit annoying that I have a hospital diabetic review in, pause to look up the calendar app…on 08/09/ & need to get bloods done next week & I DO want to get the best results possible BUT, I KNOW how painful & long the tingles can get if I drop my BS too much too fast! Sigh! It is what it is! 🙄 If the results are bad, I’m not expecting them to be that good, getting some help & changes can get me back on track: my Hba1c has been quite high this whole year & was 67/68 last time & I fear it’s gone up again?:(

Actually, I’d better make an appointment for blood tests today, right now after posting!

Hopefully you get sorted . Then the only way is down for your hba1 c
 
Good Morning all.

I am just going to leave this here....I was massively stupid to think a 10 min aerobic workout could erase my banana this morning! Come on though 25.4 from 6.3.....really?

Started off Ok though - going off to sit in the corner and tell myself off!

Surely it is better to have a result which is realistic rather than something where you have had to do something you would not normally do in order to get something better. That can then hide the need for changes.

My friend's father had to go for assessment for renewal of his Blue Badge and being of a generation where people always wanted to 'do their best' he struggled and walked the required distance and that resulted in him losing the badge.
 
I felt really clammy and sick yesterday on the bus, I got a pain in the right hand side of my chest and thought, this is it I am about to drop dead on public transport, and all I could think was, I will miss my daughters graduation! I recovered by the time the bus got to town but I get these weird hot flushes (already gone through the menopause and out the otherside and this is worse), Its not even that it happens after eating or anything, just randomly I will feel like I am filling up with hot water on the inside and will perspire have clammy hands and feel incredibly sick. The chest pain is something new, and I will report it to my doctor, but wonder if anyone else has this?

I agree that 25.8 after a banana is way too high. What did you have with the banana? Did you wash your hands and retest? That is always the advice when you get a reading which doesn't match your expectation. Could have been a rogue test strip or some contamination on your finger.
 
Morning all on this bright and breezy day.

5.9 this morning which I am happy with. 7 day TIR is 90% with only 3% in he red. Could be worse!

I should have done ironing yesterday afternoon but lured by some pretty good music we ventured down the local late afternoon yesterday. Had an hour and a half sitting in the garden there and I was up dancing for a fair bit of that (including doing the twist - not too shabby for a 76 year old!). Lots of friends there too. Came home intending to put a roast on, but couldn't be bothered, so we compromised with black pudding, jacket wedges and fried eggs!

@goodybags notice you are on Novomix, no wonder you went hypo if you missed a meal. You can't do that on mixed insulin - I was on it when first diagnosed and I hated it.


@Leadinglights so sorry to hear avout your "annus horribilis", what a load for one year. Just sending HUGS and hoping things look up for you.

10.1 (phew) still not perfect but coming down and I realise I had cleared up the strawberries before so may have had some strawberry on my finger, its just that im feeling nauseas all the time and very tired the last few days so it worried me x - should I amend the reading on my app or just add this as a second one?
