Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all.🙂 5.9 here.😛
 
Good morning 🙂 it's only another House Special 5.2 for me, I will be running a technical check on my meter later by doing another test and hoping the figures change.

Thanks everyone for the hugs 🙂, I'm trying to be philosophical about what might happpen next and not get too wound up 🙄
 
Big hugs Flower. Please remember to "use" us to let off steam.
Good morning everyone 6.5 for me🙂
 
A 6.7 for me so not unhappy with that....I even indulged in a buffet at 10.30pm but managed to avoid the 'beige carb section!' 🙂

That's really brave, Flower. 😱
 
Morning, (well probably still evening for most 🙄), 4.4 today. Don't even have to say anything now, I just thought the Lantus might have chilled out and it rose up against me 😱. Is it possible to control blood sugar with your mind, I'm starting to think I'm a psychosomatic diabetic 😱
 
Good morning and 7.0 for me
Hi Kooky I have a (probably foolish) question for you 🙂
- Is there any better way ie alternative insulin to help you? It just seems the Lantus doesn't give you good control and you always sound so upbeat but it must be really hard to cope?
 
Good morning 🙂 5.9 for me today.

KookyCat, I'm with Lindarose, it might be an idea to try levemir - a lot of people find it is much more controllable/predictable than lantus, especially in 2 injections a day.
 
KookyCat I tried Lantus when it first came out on a trial. Never again. Twice a day Levemir was great for me until I had the unrelated gastroparesis problems which needed the pump. But of course if you can get a pump that is best🙂

Good morning everyone 6.7 for me🙂
 
Morning early birds! 🙂 5.1 here...ooo, almost a house spesh. 😛
Hope you can make Lantus behave Kooky. It's Sunday and a day to relaaax.
 
The Levemir is a no apparently, consultant thinks it won't fix my problems, he's now erring towards it being my basal requirements that are causing the trouble (10 units keeps me good morning and evening but I'm out of control in the afternoon, 12 units keeps the afternoon just under the wire, morning and evening are then a bit hairy). He doesn't want me taking basal in the evening, because I've been having some fairly hairy hypos, and I don't wake up so I'm not keen on that myself. So we're now debating Tresiba/pumps/a small drinking straw for me to blow insulin into. It just all takes so long 🙄
 
Surely those 'hairy' hypos should make you eligible for the pump. How can you speed up the process is the question?😱🙂

Well they're not keen on pumps for someone such as me who had such a stunningly beautiful case of DKA, I thought they were just not keen full stop but when we had our frank chat, he turns out he's specifically not keen for me. I actually would just prefer they give me another insulin to try and see what happens, I'm getting fidgety with the lack of action 🙄 they're also back on the I'm too skinny wagon, but I politely pointed out that I'm limited food wise because 4 units of insulin seems to be my limit and if I could eat more often I might have half a chance. It's particularly frustrating when it seems to behave for a while and then dives off the deep end again. God job I'm a patient woman :D
 
And patience is a virtue apparently.😛 There's no point them beating you with the skinny stick! Surely they realise how difficult it is to lose / gain weight as a T1er? I hope they hurry up and find a solution...😱🙂
 
Morning 5.8 today after a pre midnight hypo. Blah :(. On the plus side a 11:45 hypo lets me sleep past 4. Every cloud..🙂
 
Good morning and 7.0 here
Glad you got a better sleep Kooky even though you had to 'earn' it with a hypo
 
What a start to the day. Woke up at 4.30 feeling awful 2.4 got it up to 7.9. Woke at 6.50 feeling bad again 3.1😱 this is after significantly reducing my basals. More changes today.
 
Morning all.🙂 5.1 here.😛
 
Good morning 6.3 for me
