Group 7-day waking average?

Im getting very jealous of your numbers you know!!

You should have been here for the first three years of the roller coaster ride! 😱 It's been horrendous in spite of my best efforts. I still can't believe something is finally working. Still, it's only been a few weeks, maybe when I have a few months under my belt I'll believe it.

So what has been the main change? Its really great to hear :D
 
bedtime 6.1 waking 12.4 :( no idea what happened there
 
Woke to a 3.1 Don't know if you will get this message as its my first ever post on anything and not sure if I've done it right ! Been trying to register with Twitter/Facebook etc but mucked those up somehow so thought, lets try and join something useful instead Don't know my way round yet but here's hoping I'm 'live' and working
 
Lost now. Can I get back to beginning of this thread ? Something at the top says 'Subscribe to this thread' What ? Perhaps I'm too old for this technology Going to go round park on my skates. Burn off some units instead. Perhaps some news when I get back

Hi Mossey, welcome to the forum 🙂

Just have a play around with the forum - you can't break anything and if something ends up in the wrong place we can move it for you 🙂

Allergies, increasing memory problems, Dr Idiot and misdiagnosis all combined to make this an 'interesting' journey. Insulin alone isn't enough I'm told and it's taken three years of constant whining, crying and nagging to find something that works (Victoza) alongside the insulin without making me feel so bad I want to end it all. I now have tools in place to help overcome the memory issues and they seem to be working so far.
 
forgot to test - bedtime eeeek!
7.8 - this morning - (done after I'd been to the toilet and been downstairs to put the kettle on)

A very disappointing 10.9. Turned basal down 10% following alcohol consumption. Clearly not required.
 
Good morning 3.3 upon waking
 
Disappointing 14 after big meal out and should have upped Lantus a bit more than I did.
 
I Win I win... This is about who can get the highest isnt it?

16.1mmol urgh.

Forgot to take basal last night. Also decided to have a bowl of ice cream before bed and im not convinced my carb ratio is correct for post 9.30pm so that could have been a factor. Plus a iwent a tiny bit low at about 7.30pm. So all in all I am Naff.
 
9.1 - better than yesterday!
 
9.3 - bedtime
7.4 - this morning

4.8 this morning after a restless night listening to a howling gale and a hail storm. Lovely.
 
I'm showing off but....this doesn't happen very often!:

Before bed - 5.7 (dinner was stirfry chicken,noodles,pepper and green leaves followed by blitzed blueberries with creme fraiche and double cream with 2 chocolate hobnobs at the base)

2.30am - 5.8

6.30am - 5.7

...good morning! :D
 
Amazing Manage that sometimes after silly eating but like this morning .. Not ! After 10 years of the big D it is so refreshing to hear other people in the same boat. All I've spoken to to in all that time are the hospital and clinic staff. Their attitude generally is 'must try harder' which makes you feel a failure. Strikes me we're all failures then according to them because nobody gets it right all the time ... Do they ? !

I blame it all on the Higgs Boson myself. I reckon the little devil is whizzing about ricocheting off diabetic ions and changing the charge from positive to negative or vice versa. Depending on the charge our numbers go up or down. A sort of cosmic diabetic pinball. 😱
