Group 7-day waking average?

[goodybags]

Good morning 8.2 today

Update on my ongoing eye treatment, (I’ve been under DMO clinic at the hospital, following to many years of previously out of control diabetes)

So yesterday I had my bi-monthly appointment at eye hospital (late in the afternoon)
the Dr I saw recommended I allow them to change to the injections,
she felt I might be suitable to something new they have just started using.
(third time lucky I’m thinking as my eyes have been injected with 2 other meds previously)

so yesterday following consent forms being done,
had both eyes injected with I think it was Vabysmo.

The plan is back there in around 4 weeks time
for the next of 4 consecutive injections,
these will be every 4 weeks
then possibly every 6 months,
depending on if any improvement is made.

the Dr did suggest if this new injection doesn’t have the desired affect,
my condition could be improved with cataract surgery
which Is something previously another consultant had mentioned.

have a great day everybody 😎

Two Lotus biscuits @Robin !! I would’ve been running up and down the ceiling, they spike me like nobody’s business...sounds like a great combo tho, drool.

They're very small, about 15 carbs for 2, and I was in the 4s at the time, much too low for me to go to bed on (and they are very nice, I couldn’t possibly eat just one)

Good morning! A 4.7 from me. Hope I can make it three in a row tomorrow? 🙂

Wellll…… The damage this morning is a HS………plus 6=11.2 this morning! Eek! 😱

But, soon enough corrected! 🙄😉

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

A bit tastebuds overloaded & can’t hang about this morning! The cleaning crew are coming at 09:30 to tackle & clean my kitchen! So, quick breakfast now as I’m hungry with no dinner! Took me a bit longer than I thought to drop off last night, after midnight, although I was knackered so, maybe should have tested & corrected before sleeping; must have been a bit more wired too than I realised!

It’ll be £870 pounds but, SO worth it to have the kitchen cleaned at last! 😱🙂

Well done @Gwynn on the 5.2 - I just missed it by 0.1. 🙂

@eggyg an endocrinologist looks after the endocrine system. ie stuff that floats about in the blood making all the things in the body work right. Get it wrong and you die. I have to see him as I had a brsin tumour removed some years past.

However, I haven't seen the consultant in years as I got fed up with people sticking needles in me and the meds he prescribed work a treat.

I am not looking forward to the long cold bus ride to preston (and back). What I do not understand is why it seems impossible for me to get my blood taken locally at Lytham and for them to send the results to the consultant in Preston. I have asked them to do this but they just say that it cannot be done. But we can send people to the moon and back. Crazy

He had a really nice suit tho.

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

Morning i was 6.9 am

I know! My health centre in Ballymoney can’t send blood test results to The Causeway Hospital in Coleraine & it’s only 7 miles! I have to go up to Coleraine for blood tests for the hospital reviews so, end up making that trip & back twice each review! An Exasperated Sighing emoji! 🙄

 

[gll]

Well my "I feel better" lasted until just after 8am...
doctors appointment secured (phone one).

 

[Barrowman]

Another 5.4 for me again this morning.

 

[Lanny]

Cleaning crew are here, 15 minutes late but, I’m not easy to find! Two vans & crew with a skip! I was FREEZING sitting on my footstool in the inner porch at the front door waiting! Now they’re at it & I’m sitting back in bed under the duvet with heater at full blast, 37C at fan speed 10 the max, trying to warm up my bosom! 😱😉 I’ve set the timer for an hour, when it gets to the stage where my bosom needs warming up it takes THAT long, before I put it back down to my normal 19C on thermostat at fan speed 1!🙄

Morning

8.8 for me

Oh my it's cold, -1c out and with the windows being open it feels like that in here too! Still no word from the council as to when a joiner will be round to see to the window and door or the housing officer about the damp xx

Morning all - 7.8 for me (no I didn't get round to putting the mini magnums out in the freezer!). My concert went really well last night. Christ Church Cathedral and College are so beautiful and it was slightly misty so that just added to the whole atmosphere with white Christmas lights etc. We had a rehearsal at 5pm and then a few of us went and sat in a cafe. I had a coffee while everyone else tucked into paninis etc - nothing non carb there so I quickly dashed to M&S and bought a small pack of chicken which I inhaled on my way back to the Cathedral. We were sitting up in the Choir next to Frideswide Choir who sang absolutely beautifully and it was such a privilege to be right next to them - really got us all in the mood. Then Out of the Blue performed who are a brilliant Acapella group made up of male university students who give all their profits to Helen & Douglas House and then us and the applause and foot stamping filled us with joy - we looked great all in our Christmas jumpers and Santa hats. So a really lovely evening. Got home late and sat up with the dogs for a couple of hours so didn't actually go to bed until 1am and snuffled two ryvitas covered in goats cheese, guacamole & salsa and might have had some cheese & crisps (& pickled onions) too! Back up at the hospice on reception later so no doubt we'll all be chatted about our performance last night - makes me want to sing in a choir on a regular basis, maybe that's something I can investigate when I move. Anyway - have a great day everyone xxx

My concert went really well last night. Christ Church Cathedral and College are so beautiful

Isn’t it just: the dining hall was used in the Harry Potter films! 😛

Been to the Church a few times for Evensong at Christmas when I was spending it with my sister one year who lives in Oxford! Right opposite the Alice in Wonderland Tearoom & shop next door!

I LOVE Evensong & always go every sunset to St Pauls when in London BUT, WOW! Christ Church was EVEN better! 😛😛😛😎

Sadly the Tearoom was closed over the Christmas holidays but, went to the shop next door for a good rummage & buying 😛 Alice things!

Morning all and 4.9 for me which with my current libre warranted a gluco tab

Been to be see be the vampires to see how my manky bone marrow is behaving.

Rehearsal/ packing gear this aft ready for gig on Saturday.

Have a good day everyone.

ahh didn't even consider weight loss / insulin based on weight. I think I've lost a couple of kg at least. Ended up not even bolusing one of the soups (15g carbs) last night to boost me up a bit and still drifted down while asleep.
Thankfully I have sensor on so keeping a close watch and will reduce basal again tonight 🙂

Have you got "Think Like a Pancreas" by Gary Scheiner? I do recommend it, it covers all sorts of stuff like that, which is useful knowledge for managing your insulin.

Off to Preston to see the vampires.

I thought for a moment you were going to Preston to see a film/play called "The Vampires!" LOL! Congratulations on a 3rd HS!!!

@eggyg i, too, have never seen an endocrinologist. Only ever a DSN and now, not even them for nearly 2 years since being referred back to GP. Without the help and support of you all, i don't know how i would manage.

@freesia I believe NICE guidelines do not recommend T1s to be managed by their GP as they don't have sufficient knowledge. You ought to be managed by the local clinic i.e. the DSN or specialist. I had to fight to be referred but it was worth it, without the referral I wouldn't have a pump.

 

[PattiEvans]

Morning all... lovely day so far. Cold but sunny.

5.8 this morning after a lovely night's natural sleep. Time in range 100% for the last 24 hours. 98% for the last 7 days, 97% for the last 14 days. Really pleased with that!

Putting Xmas decs up today... it's a bit early, but we have commitments every day for the rest of this week and we are hosting a bit of a party next week and I'd like them up for that. Start of Christmas etc.

 

[Colin g]

Morning all (just ) 5.1 for me this morning been good all night. Busy day ahead see what happens Hope everyone is doing well ❤️‍

I did query about being discharged but was told that was the way they do things. I asked if i could ring if there was a problem but was told if it was a general question then they could answer but if it was specifically for me then i would have to be rereferred to them.

I saw a GP about something else a couple of weeks ago and she was interested in the libre and saying she felt she ought to know more about it. She wasn't even aware i'd been discharged by the DSNs and said she assumed that i could call them if i needed. When i told her what they had said to me about calling she was surprised. She assumed they would be available to help if needed.

I wonder whether its a regional thing. Anyone else in Staffordshire having this issue?

@Pattidevans great stats! Well done!

 

[Lanny]

Phew! The kitchen’s done & they’re just leaving! 🙂

Left the back door open & will let it air, the smell of cleaning chemicals is strong, & close it later tonight!

Need to get a lot of new stuff like plates, cups, pots & pans etc. as they threw all that out but, will do it slowly, as per budget, & it’s SO nice to have a clean slate to start from again! 😛🙂

Didn’t take as long as I thought it would!
