Group 7-day waking average?

[Northerner]

5.9 this morning. Did a little dance round the kitchen. 🙂

Oh my goodness, I woke to a 7. 4 , beyond ecstatic .🙂

Morning all, 5.1 this morning 🙂

Some great numbers this morning ladies! 🙂

Another 5.6 for me 🙂 despite my Weds night carb-fest after weigh-in (thank you pancreas).

Wow this thread has been going for over two years.......BUT nobody seems to have worked out a group 7 day average at any point!!!!

Hehe! We did at one point early on, as that was the thread's original intention 🙂 I think the result might have been posted seperately, will try and dig it out 🙂

. I used to have a slice of toast with peanut butter as a bedtime snack as this would produce less of a spike than biscuits and keep my levels steadier overnight. 🙂

That's fine, it's the fat in the PB that helps slow the release of carbs from the toast 🙂

- positive side was I had the peanut butter but am wondering if cheese would have the same effect because that also has lots of fat in it.
- on a very negative side though i still ended up having 2 choc digestives after the bedtime test & before bed - grrrrrrr! 😡

Yes Gill, cheese would have the same effect 🙂 Lock the biscuits away! 😱

Mine was 5.6 this morning 🙂

The peanut butter thing: I checked my old diet sheets and to be fair it said 'eat occasionally' though my (now retired) GP wasn't keen on my eating it at all. And the sheets say, and I quote: 'starchy food such as pasta, potatoes...will help keep your blood glucose levels stable.' Hmmm, like my lovely Linda McCartney Pies sent it up to 12.9...very stable, I don't think.

This is an interesting thread. I averaged out my readings over the past week and it was 6.1, which I thought was pretty good!

That is a great average! 🙂 Eating lots of carbs would no doubt keep your levels steady - in the high teens all the time! 😱 I have NEVER understood the logic behind that, given that carbs will raise blood sugar levels, usually very quickly!

4.4 this morning and falling regularly all day. Struggling to stay up for some reason.

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 6.0 for me today.

 

[Steff]

Morning 6.8 here

 

[DaisyDuke]

I am 6mmol today, this is just proving that I can do it after all, haven't had single numbers for months and months.

 

[Carmina]

Another 6 here.

To add to a comment posted yesterday - I too wondered if an average got posted because I thought I might mess it up by not coming in at the start of an averaging week. But whether we ever get an average or not, I love this thread.

I've been lurking in it for a few weeks to see what 'real diabetics' get instead of reading what we should be aiming for and feeling bad when we don't make it. And whatever our results, it's good to be able to share with people who understand.

Excellent news Daisy! 🙂 How are the legs feeling now?

I think that is what it has evolved into - no-one here will judge you for whatever your reading might be, but sometimes useful feedback can be given to try and help improve things 🙂

I haven't found the relevant thread yet, but I seem to remember that the average was hovering around 7 for the first few weeks and likely to stay around that level 🙂

A lot better yesterday, pain in thigh has gone, just a bit stiff on calf muscles, they feel stiff when I get up and in the evening get a bit stuff again but the awful ache has gone. Thanks for asking.

Oh I am pleased to hear that, it sounds like it might have been just some aches and pains from your exertions then 🙂

8.2 this morning - talking of hints, how on earth do I get rid of the dawn phenomenon?
