Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks. Joining @freesia with an 8.3. The sun is shining again but it's still a bit blustery. Glad to hear that everyone who has posted thus morning from the storm warning area is ok with no serious damage to your homes.

Congratulations on your HS @MikeyBikey and @Barrowman
Have a lovely holiday @Eternal422

The podiatrist is visiting this afternoon. Just as well as I managed to tear a toenail yesterday. Then harvesting some pears and plums later.
Have a good day, be kind to yourself and others if life is not treating you well. Take care xx
 
Morning all and it's a nice sunny day - hopefully a walk later. Though wind is ramping up.

Move over @MikeyBikey and @Barrowman as I am joining you on the HS step! 5.2!!!

Exhausted myself yesterday with supermarket shopping and had to give dinner cooking duties to Julian. Hopefully my resilience will build up a bit as the days go on!

Oh yes, have a lovely holidaY @Eternal422

Congratulations on your HS @PattiEvans
Hope you are still scheduling in your daily nanna nap while you are recuperating.
Good luck with the GP appointment @MikeyBikey and hoping you get a successful outcome
 
Hello all

6.4 for me earlier.

We've taken one of 7yo's friends out for the day to a farm park which husband can get us into for free - one of his work perks! All good so far.

Hoping to get a bit more painting done tonight. It occurred to me last night that the baby could arrive earlier than expected and it would be greatly annoying to have a half painted room in that event! I need to get a wiggle on.

Congrats to all our HSers today. And take care those who are feeling under the weather x

Enjoy your day people
 
Second time waking up today although, technically, the first time was really yesterday & it’s a much better 11:21 BS 5.7 🙂 Maybe just skirting hypo territory with 60NR for soup earlier but, there just came a point I didn’t want to be so high anymore: literally gives me a headache waking high; a different type of headache from being low but, still a headache! :(

I was still uhming & ahing about Tresiba so, was a bit late in deciding to stick in 52 at 12:28: weighing up pros & cons as it’s a delicate balance of not too much basal & not using too much bolus; finally decided that I’m using too much bolus & try a bit more basal? :confused: My body is definitely resisting the NR so, must not use anymore than I can help it or I COULD end up in hospital again with a massive overdose which SHOULD have killed me IF it wasn’t for my body being used to apnoea waking me up whenever I stop breathing while sleeping! 😱

I DEFINITELY learnt that lesson; the dangers of insulin abuse!

Will definitely wait for another 3 days to see about 52 basal UNLESS I start hypoing in which case, I’ll go back down to 51? :confused:

I love this forum - I learn something new nearly every day. I can't wait for the opportunity to use that expression. Thanks @Lauren 🙂

sorry if I said something in my comment that was thought of as being demanding
it certainly wasn’t meant to be a expectation or in anyway demanding :thankyou:

It wasn't taken as demanding, just an unconscious assumption that certain things are easy for everyone. I'm probably guilty of similar myself. It's taken 30 years of living with my husband to accept that no matter how easy I think it is to prepare food three times a day, he's never going to be able to prepare/ cook more than about 5 meals per week as he finds the whole process exhausting and needs a couple of days off to "chill".

as some say these days
Oops… My Bad 🙄

Please don't beat yourself up, I know it was meant well. I probably didn't word my reply as well as I could. (I initially typed "should" then had a rethink!)

12.2 today, so I ate 3 spoons of egg mayo to see if I could shut off my liver. One hour later, 10.5. The experiment will be repeated.

I have banned myself from using the word “just” unless I’m talking about justice. I’m never “just” doing X or “just” asking Y etc.
And weighing in on “should” for a second, I’ve also worked very hard on switching that word out when I use it (or hear it) and replace it with “could”. It gives me agency whilst removing the declaration of obligation.

Eloquently put.
 
Morning a 7.6 after a bit of DP after a fairly flat line in 6s.I did go low just before bed so had a biscuit and 2 Dextrose and alarm did not go off.
Quiet day yesterday and just Waitrose/Aldi shopping and a trip to Solicitor to push in with house sale ( really annoyed as original Solicitor left and they did not inform us so probably delayed us by a few weeks).
Anyway off to North Wales today as must get out and about.
