Group 7-day waking average?

Thanks Northerner Must be 0.7general improvement lately with diet and more walking is keeping numbers down Encouraging!
 
I don't often post on this thread, but my son is wearing a CGM sensor this week and last night's graph shows a lovely straight line in the 5's and 6's for a 9 hour stretch - a thing of beauty! 🙂. He woke on 4.9mmol. How I wish we could get full time sensor funding!
 
Great figures, Redkite.😛

Morning all.🙂 2.7 here - ouch! And after a hypo at half four! Down Lantus, down. I hope someone's working on a new improved background insulin...🙄

That's terrific Redkite! 🙂 I wonder if the Freestyle Libre will be more readily available on prescription in the future? My consultant certainly sees it as the next step forward 🙂

There'll always be fluctuations. 6.7 is still a good number - if you walked into your doctor's and he tested you at that level today, he wouldn't diagnose you with diabetes 🙂
 
Thanks Northerner I do miles of walking during a shift and really did battle with myself over the pudding Actually had the money in hand at one point to buy it so expected a low result when I got home at 11pm but had 7.3! I'm always hoping for lower! Anyway you're right and I'm under 7 so that's ok Working overnight tonight so tomors reading will be pretty irrelevant I think but will post anyway

Wow, Lindarose, your willpower is much stronger than mine - well done for resisting! Next time will be much easier now.

Morning folks.🙂 4.1 here. 🙂
 
It's funny cos I can find willpower sometimes Did newcastle diet though went on hols 3 weeks into it and results to then weren't impressive Lost too much weight and the shakes had more carbs per meal than I eat now! If it had worked I would have continued it BUT when I do go off track it's pretty big time ha ha
 
I would never be disappointed with a 6.7 Linda!
 
Low carbing def improved numbers Redkite -)
 
So...yesterday I posted about his lovely 9 hour straight line in the 5's and 6's on the CGM. As usual, we paid the price for this with increased insulin sensitivity, and last night I found him sound asleep and hypo at 3am (CGM was running 1.5mmol too high at the time so didn't alarm) - this is why it's essential for me to night-test. He then woke on 9.3.

Had to engage brain to plan for the morning - he has a 2 mile walk (mostly uphill) to school and it's cold and frosty. Then at 12.15 they will be doing cycling in P.E., which he needs to carb-load for. So the last thing he needed was to start the day high, having been low in the night! He did a half correction, a full breakfast bolus, and has gone off with multiple written instructions to try and manage things ok. Other kids just fall out of bed and go to school!
