Group 7-day waking average?

[Gwynn]

Not had one of these for a while… 6.9

After seeing Tár yesterday I’m thinking of going tomorrow evening to hear Mahler’s 5th at Barbican.

I’m not sure if it might be too much though. As in cultural overload. I’ll think on it today and decide later.

Go for it. Mahlers 5th is an amazing piece of work

Good morning this cold and dark morning.

Ice outside. Just put the bins out. I'm frozen now.

Still a nice 5.1 BG this morning.

Got to get out to the shops later on to get my tea. The hill between my house and town is tretcherous when its icy!!!

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Good Morning all. A 5.3 for me this morning. Glad to find that my weight is now under 76k, as I've been stuck somewhere around 76.5 for a while. Hopefully that's more ammunition towards getting my HBa1c figure down to lower numbers...

Morning all, 6.7 here. Had my review yesterday, not much to discuss, as I’d already looked up my blood results on line. Listened politely while she ran through in general terms 'Your cholesterol's fine, your kidneys are fine..etc etc.' felt my nose growing longer as I answered her tick boxes..yes of course I always use a fresh needle, yes of course I check my sites for lumps once a week (does anyone do that? I mean, yes of course I keep an eye on my sites, normally when I'm about to inject, but I don’t make an appointment with myself for a full weekly inspection).
One good thing, it saves me making a separate appointment for an annual medication review, she can tell the doctor that everything’s fine and the GP can tick the box without wasting an appointment.

I’ve booked. Tickets are not a lot of money so if I don’t feel up for it tomorrow it’s not a big deal.

Move!!

Sometimes I forget about art house cinemas but then I check Flick or Flicks .co.uk and that shows every screen nationally showing a film. Maybe worth checking that out rather than taking my previous suggestion seriously.

Don’t think we have an independent cinema locally and the chain one I have a monthly pass for isn’t showing it. Going to visit family soon and they have an independent so I’ll see if it’s on there

It is coming to streaming services but honestly, if you can, see it at the cinema.

If you can’t find a screening then I’ll happily go and see it again and just imagine I’m you. That’ll work right?

11.1 this morning. Swam in the evening yesterday, with food and no bolus as I did with great success on Monday morning, and well it was a disaster. I’ll post the graph elsewhere.

Well I do always use a fresh needle but don’t really check my sites and never, ever in 20 years has anyone even asked me let alone looked. That said I would notice a lump I guess so maybe it’s no big deal.

It’s not always a lump, it can just be a more subtle hardening under the skin

12.7 despite over 20,000 steps and various other exercises.

Disappointing after being sub-9 in the previous two days.

In fact yesterday was a really good day but one where I unfortunately ate a lot of chocolate by myself in the morning and then late at night.

This is the problem with not keeping a food diary because I don't analyse or challenge what's going on when I mechanically repeat bad food habits.

The solution is an app called Recovery Record but which I haven't properly set up on my new phone. I will do so today and start using it.

5.1 this morning amazingly after yesterday afternoon, evening and night! I’m planning on doing a basal test today for the period 1pm to 6pm to see what’s happening. I think I can manage that, as long as my BG plays ball up to lunchtime!

Here’s yesterday’s miserable chart lots of correction jabs throughout the evening but at least it did sort of stay under some sort of control!


Have a good day everyone!

My midday swim was a BG disaster too @Lucyr - I was correcting all afternoon and evening. Last week was much better, fleurggh. I love swimming too much to quit tho. Roll on next Wednesday!

Morning all. 🙂 9.9 here. My new much-more-random routine is playing havoc with my BG. I’m sure it’ll settle down eventually... 🙂

@Robin reminded me - I’m still trying to track down my November blood test results. It took half an hour to get thru to my surgery (at 2.30 on a Wed afternoon - eh?) but no results in the system. Apparently, if the hospital order the test, the results go back to the hospital...EH? But, but...surely my nhs history is all there in one computerized file? Who knows?

Good to know. You do realise you have made me look at my tummy

7.1 this morning, really tired struggling with working every morning, not sure how I will do next week when I have to do 3 whole days and 2 mornings.

very bright, cold and frosty here, but thankfully no snow.

It’s intense. Enjoy! And share Lucy’s

(And don’t worry when it starts because that’s not actually the end and you haven’t missed it)

Just because it’s what’s been agreed doesn’t mean it’s what you have to do.
Do what’s right for you and do it when it’s right for you to do it.

I believe feeling it might be more helpful.
What a swat you are using a new needle every time... Show off

Ecstatic with a 6.5 this morning.
I lost control of my eating last night after taking the Freelander to feed the GGs because my body ached all day yesterday. That felt like cheating and I also worried about losing the routine I was trying to stick to which really helps me mentally. Ended up comfort eating and drinking.... 2 small glasses of G&T, a dark choc ginger biscuit and then I got the jar of peanut butter out of the cupboard and mixed in a teaspoon of honey and sat and ate it from the jar with a spoon, with a couple of squares of 85% dark choc.... maybe 3 squares.... as I wasn't paying too much attention and every now and then I injected a bit more insulin which I guessed might cover it, but all totally flying by the seat of my pants really. Oh and I also ate some chilli and a chunk of blue stilton to try to limit the damage.... Decided on 2 units of Levemir since I hadn't had as much exercise and I am embarassed to say it all worked out far too nicely, with an almost straight line in the 5s and 6s both whilst I was eating and throughout the night. Went to bed with stacked active insulin, so really very naughty in all respects and a very undeserved and lucky result, is all I can say! (embarrassed emoji!)

@eggyg Can't believe you got another one! Yesterday's looked a bit more spikey but some of the earlier ones were safe as houses. Just amazing! If you get one tomorrow, you are officially a diabetic genius! Hope I haven't jinxed you! 🙄 You are right though, the more success you have, the more you want, so it focuses you more. Good luck!
