Group 7-day waking average?

I don’t know if this is a waking reading since I didn’t actually get to sleep but 10.7

Now for some coffee then a busy day seeing 3 islands

Are you looking to buy? 😎 Have fun!

Morning folks. 🙂 An unwelcome 9.0 for me.

Off to stay with my mum for a few days - what with having Covid then our trip to España I haven’t seen her for a couple of months, so looking forward to a few days of gossip and giggling.

Also got my annual diabetic eye review - booked myself in at local optician cos the NHS reviews just don’t seem to be happening in my area atm. Got to look after my peepers! (Even if it means forking out 😳).
 
5.5 for me today. 🙂

Dez
 
5.1 before dinner last night
8.2 two hours later - so my oven fish chips and peas sound like they are ok... But
Woke up in the night 4am and had a faint dizzy spell and got really sweaty as soon as I stood up to get some water

Tested 5.4 this morning and I'm really hungry and have a headache so I think I might not have the chips again but I was still feeling hungry yesterday so I think my meal last night was too small (Photos in the photo thread) but it was no smaller than other times but clearly what I had didn't fill me up or keep me full.
 
Good morning. 6.4 which, given yesterday's food choices is not too bad. Meringues? Plural? Oh well they cheered me up at the time.
Rain on and off all night - noisy enough to wake the dead - and more upstairs by the look of the sky this morning.
Have a good day everyone and do not forget your brolley.
 
Another one with a 6.4 this morning. Seems to be quite the popular number today!
 
5.3 this morning for me, lots of rain here since yesterday evening and a noisy thunderstorm last night, 2 out of my 3 dogs lift their heads at the thunder and then go back to sleep, the third thinks someone is coming into the house and barks back at it to frighten it away :rofl: was 1am before all was quiet.
Hope everyone has a good day.
 
It was a 7.5 on the Libre for me this morning with a wiggly horizontal line, so looks like I got my evening Levemir right at 3.5 but just a bit higher than I would like.... might have been the peanut butter I ate at bedtime.

@eggyg Very impressed indeed that you managed to catch a fork of lightening on camera! Hope you have a great time at Centre Parks with the family. I now have two marrows to go with my glut of courgettes. There is always one on each plant that evades you and gets away isn't there!

@Michael12421 Hope you are feeling better now and BG is at a safer level.
 
09:37 BS 11.0 Ehish! 😳 That’s high!😱

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

I haven’t been testing properly the last few days: 3 tests in 3 days; it’s time to get back to testing! 😳

Slept a lot better albeit not all at once as I woke around 03:30 but, did manage to get a few hours more after a bit of effort: sometimes “Sleep is a Battlefield” playing in my head; as opposed to “Love is a Battlefield” by Pat Benatar!

Will add correction to my breakfast dose & eat breakfast: my appetite is coming back & I ate twice yesterday!
 
5.5 on waking.

Should have checked before treating an apparent prebolus-dip after breakfast, and I’ve now pinged up to 11.2 🙄

Still… it’s nice to know my digestion still cracks on when it wants to, even if Dex is sometimes a little slow to report the changes!
 
Morning all and it was 5.8 for me.

Looks like the garden is out of bounds today. Today's light rain doesn't seem all that light. Nevermind got manuals to read and YouTube videos to watch so we can sort out our in ear monitors at the studio.

Have a good day everyone.

As far as I am aware there is no test that I can do to find the acccuracy of my meter. This morning I made an error after injecting 10 units of basal and went to get another cartridge to inject a further 6 units and used Novorapid instead, by mistake of course. I ate 6 chocolate chip biscuits and then went for my morning walk with Missy. Whilst out I had 3 jelly babies and came back home and tested - 4.7. I will test again at noon.
My readings are generally low in the morning but this may because I eat dinner at 6pm and am in bed by 7.30 and sleep for 11 or 12 hours before I test again.

Most meters can be tested with control solutions, here in the UK some companies will supply free some charge.
 
According to libre, 5.9 and 82% in range yesterday (I was super hyped about the 60% one the day before) so I'm positively ecstatic here with that one 🙂

Hope everyone's doing well today, will grab a coffee and have a read thru everyone's posts 🙂

Michael, did you also inject the correct extra 6 units of Toujeo once you realised your mistake? If not, it would be a good idea to do so now otherwise your levels may be a bit haywire for a few days.
Pleased you are OK and on a nice 7 now. That walk with 6 units of NR in your system (even with the biscuits) could have been a bit dodgy! So pleased you had JBs with you to top up.
