Group 7-day waking average?

7.3 for me today, but a fairly straight line overnight, with a slight rise before I woke I’m putting the higher number down to the fact I slightly overcorrected a high last night which means I had a couple of jbs before bed, along with whatever lurgy I’ve currently got o_O

Have a good Tuesday everyone (nearly wrote Monday!). Edit: PS. @MikeyBikey you have a unicorn there with your 100%, well done! :D

Thank you! I had seen reference to a Unicorn Day but did not know what it was. Best I have had before was 96%.
 
Good morning everyone, 4.8 today after another night of being in the red :

Asthma is playing up now and making me feel quite rough at times, especially after a coughing fit. Doubled up my inhalers but still having to have salbutamol during the day. Might try and get to speak to the asthma specialist nurse at the health centre to seek further help, especially if this continues today.

Carpet fitting today and I will be so glad to get everything back to normal, everything in a mess throughout the whole house is now really driving me mad!

Congratulations @MrPixels on your HS today!

Have a great day today, whatever you are doing.
 
Morning all. 6.8 on this damp morning.

Back to normal for everyone today, thank goodness, I get the days mixed up without a bank holiday being thrown into the mix. Big shop today, I may be some time!

Congratulations @MrPixels on your HS, and well done @MikeyBikey on your unicorn.

Have a great day. 🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 7.1 here.

I wouldn’t have thought it was wrong if you’d written Monday @pawprint91 - I’m totally confused! 🙂

I’m meant to be observing another Welsh class tomorrow but haven’t heard from the teacher yet. I’ve given admin a nudge, so hopefully she’ll email me today.
 
5.6 and another unicorn for me.
 
6.1 for me today. 🙂

Very happy with a 5.6 here and a unicorn yesterday but almost got caught out 2 days in a row by a very weak FOTF which is a problem because I inject for it in advance, so my normal 45 min wait for breakfast has reduced and I have needed a JB before eating. Hopefully this is an indication that I am over this cold virus.

Congrats to @MrPixels on your House Special this morning.
 
Good morning.
6.3. Well deserved - had a Belgian bun after a visit to a plant nursery in the rain. For some insane reason I failed to buy any courgette seeds this year so went to buy a few seedlings. Needless to say came out with those and a couple of trays of annuals to fill a few more pots...dangerous places for the wallet are nurseries. Should get them planted out this afternoon when the met office promises sun may arrive. Meanwhile gloomy and damp.

Yesterday was seriously wet - water flowing over yard from the road as some ignorant so and so had driven into the roadside drain. Begining to wonder where to buy spikes...Fortunately the edges of the new bed turned the water away from the house and into the willow fedge. Nice when a plan comes together.

Have a good day everyone.
 
And I’m happy with a 5.4 this morning.
 
Morning all - grey but not wet. I think the heavenly water tanks emptied themselves yesterday.

6.9 again this morning with a flatfish. No Unicorns though.

Watched Masterchef last night. One of the contestants made a sugar-free chocolate tart because his eldest daughter is T1 and "cannot have chocolate" (I confess I was eating a piece at the time - purely you understand because I had bolussed for a dinner that I could only eat a fraction of!) and apparently she is denied ALL desserts and has to go without any sweet things - did not see what the pastry was made of mind you. He broke down crying at all she is denied. I was so angry.... the poor kid is being denied unnecessarily. What on earth are their diabetic team telling them? Have they not given them any advice on carb counting? It was also giving out duff information on a public platform. I wonder if DUK would have a way of getting in touch with the poor chap to put him right? Would it be worth posting in the general discussion section?

Congratulations @Eternal422 on yesterday's HS and @MrPixels on yet another HS today.

Have a tremendous Tuesday everyone.
 
Morning all. 8.8 for me this morning. After injecting 2 units at 4 am . It was 11.7 when I went to bed . Wasn't very active with the rain yesterday... Had extra units after tea so left it .. sods law.. Hope everyone is doing well and have a good day folks

That’s awful (and just plain wrong!). It’s annoying how misinformation spreads and people will have seen this and think it is correct! 😡
 
Afternoon all. Woke this morning to an unexplained and shocking 15 with graph showing i'd been up to 18 overnight!! Corrected with breakfast and it had only come down to 7.8 by lunch. I had an extra unit to my usual lunch dose but it still shot up to 15 again. Its starting to come down now a bit, 12.5 and another correction just in, but i've had a very fuzzy head all day.

I'm always surprised how many people say to me "you can't/shouldn't eat that". Errr...yes i can but its up to me whether i choose to.

Ooh I was annoyed too. It’s all kicking off on the MC Facebook page. That poor girl will rebel for certain. When he turned the tears on I was livid. The “pastry” was made with nuts and something else. I wonder what sweetener he used as stevia has as many carbs as sugar!
 
@Pattidevans that is really bad about the chefs eldest daughter not being allowed chocolate and sweet treats!

It doesn’t surprise me though, some hospital teams are great, others are awful. It varies by hospital

Thank you for pointing me to that page @eggyg. It would seem to be a contentious subject looking at the responses. Having given it more thought I do acknowledge that going lower carb (even for T1s) does result in more controllable blood glucose and less fluctuations, In fact that's how I operated for a long time, but on the other hand a child shouldn't be singled out and made to feel so different and deprived. Surely there's a balance. Plus there's a balance in what information should be disseminated in public arena.

I confess I have slipped recently and stopped being so strict with myself, even so, my TDD is still extremely modest at around 14 to 18u a day total.
