Group 7-day waking average?

7.3 this morning - hmm...........

Roll on the 1st fot DSN visit
 
Alan, stress I think. Really stressful day yesterday with Dad. I am worried about money (or rather lack of it) and worried about a Weight loss this week.
I am mulling over the whole Bydureon thing, do I want to change things.....

In the grand scheme of things, nothing major. Just me stressing

Sorry to hear about this Hazel. :( I can understand you wondering about the Bydureon, it would be a bit of a step into the unknown. Best to wait until you see the DSN so you can discuss your recent ups and downs, although it sounds like the stress may be playing a part there. I hope things start to look brighter for you very soon {{{{Hazel}}}}
 
Good evening bit late posting today 6.9 for me this morning

Isn't it a great feeling inside when things start to click and you start understanding more about your body and how it works. I was over joyed when I started getting good readings.

Interestingly for it was the NovoRapid that I needed to get right, I think my Basal is about there, I wake pretty much where I go to bed and skipping a meal leaves me pretty stable but the 1:10 ratio just wasn't bringing me back down after eating so it's working out at about 1:5 at breakfast and 1:7.5 lunch and dinner!

The individuality of D is both the PITA and the challenge too 🙂

Hope the numbers keep going in the right direction!

Aw, hope things settle down soon Di 🙂
 
7.0 for me this morning, I don't think I'll be seeing that again this weekend, heading to Bournemouth for a weekend of drinking, and generally forgetting about diabetes (well trying to forget for a couple of days!). Will be interesting to see how the BG's are, we shall see!

Hope you have a terrific weekend Dan - looks like the weather is going to be good so it'll be busy! Don't forget to take your factor 50 with you too, as well as all your paraphenalia 🙂
 
9.3 for me :( I know why, I was very naughty last night, and had a fish and chip supper. Was going to dose according to the ratio i worked out, but then I bottled it and just took the prescribed dose. The result...15.5!

Well, the great thing about that is that you recognise where the problem lies, and if you had been brave (which I am sure you will be as your confidence grows) you would probably have had very respectable numbers 🙂

Worth having a quick browse of one of our big food experiments, where lots of people ate the same meal and reported their results:

Interesting Di. Have you had to change your diet at all because of the loss of your gall bladder? Or perhaps it's just your body recovering and overcoming the fact it's not there any more?

Hi northy, I was incredibly strick with food before operation ie chicken, turkey & quorn, plus no other fat. Pretty much stayed the same last two weeks with introduction of pork and gamon (only once each)1x sticky toffee pudding and 1x ice cream sundae.

Maybe my body is right! now you're sorted time to get back running and cycling. Let's face it, it has not been possible since 6th May.

I did have to introduce Novo after lunch back in June, and I really do think higher bs is lack of exercise. Fingers crossed a few more days and I will be able to hit the treadmill and see an improvement!
