Group 7-day waking average?

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!

Of course, silly me! I would put money on it being the enforced lack of exercise - the same thing happens to me. Last week I was waking in the 6s and 7s and this week in the 5s and even a 4.8 this morning - chiefly due to stepping up the exercise after a lazy week last week. Even went back on the lantus one night last week, but none since.

Think my body is well and truly in need of exercise! These last two weeks have been worse I think due to lack of mobility and weakness from op. So fingers crossed bs can only start to get better again. I must ease myself back into things ,12 weeks is a long time without exercise lol x

Yes, take it very steady to start with or you'll set yourself back for weeks (wish I always practised what I preach!🙄) Did the doctor/hospital give you any indication of rehabilitation exercises?

No they didn't, no driving or lifting for 2 weeks and it can take up to 6weeks to heal fully internally. Still pretty swollen in the stomach and right hand side.

They originally said I could exercise while waiting for op which I tried, but made me worse, also it wasn't happening cause I was very ill. I need to be sensible and realistic on what I can do and how fast which is a pain,but I really don't want anymore problems!

4.3 today and a banging head.

Probably. Never caught one yet which is a bit odd. I must admit it is getting annoying now as I either wake up around 8/9 or low 4s. I unit of basal really makes a huge difference.

I'd do some 3 am tests if I was you to try and determine what is going on, or even request use of a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor). Sad to say, but not everyone wakes up with a bad head, or wakes up at all :(
 
A 4.2 for me today...
