Group 7-day waking average?

'A High 5' to everyone this morning....5.6 to be exact which is the lowest morning level I've achieved thus far! 🙂

I didn't have any lovely champagne but the vodka clearly has an effect (good for the BG levels but not so good for the liver 😱) but we all need a treat.

Great number! 🙂 I think a lot of people find that alcohol the night before often leads to lower glucose release from the liver the following day - not recommended on a regular basis though! 🙂
 
Mironing 5.6 today 🙂
 
Good morning Northerner, KookyCat and everyone, 4.6 for me🙂
 
Hello again. 🙂 4.3 for me.😛
 
Morning all. 🙂 3 house specials for me - 15.6 - ouch and double ouch!😱

My endo is dead against correction doses, but I was high at bedtime - 14.7 - would a correction dose have been a good idea? :confused:🙂

I would have given a cautious correction for that, just to bring it down a little rather than trying to get it right down (8-10 rather than 5-6). The good news is that your levels were actually pretty stable overnight! 🙂

Good morning 🙂 6.2 for me today.

A Bank Holiday House Special must be worth double loyalty points I reckon 😉

Interestingly, on this Bank Holiday Monday in 2008 I was lying in A&E with a BG of 37 mmol/l! 😱 The date then was May 26th though, so tomorrow is my diagnosis day 🙂
 
Nice result Northerner and so glad those bad days are behind you! 😛

A 6.9 for me this morning. My levels shot up last night after eating a large white bun at a BBQ. My body seems to hate white bread with a vengeance and I might as well just take one and slap myself round the head with it for all the good it does! 😱

White bread will actually spike your levels faster than table sugar, because the chemistry means there is one less step required to convert the carbs to glucose 😱
 
Well that would explain it then Northerner! 😱

No more evil little buns or white bread for me then 🙄

Allow me...!🙄:D

White bread spikes me too...big time.

Happy dire-versary for tomorrow, Northener.

Why doesn't Dr Boots like corrections? I mean they're not a great idea if you're at it all the time obviously but even I would give a 15 a little help, probably at night time I'd give that a unit, which would get me to a 10ish (I'm super sensitive to the juice in the evening), then if I was still higher than I wanted in the morning I'd give it a snit extra for brekkie. A snit is a technical term you know, for half a unit :D
 
It's taken me all day to confess - have been going out too much to eat and drink because the house is so lonely without Susie - last night was particularly bad so woke up at 13.9 this morning😱

She reckons I'll be correcting all the time, like you say. Not likely! I'm always very aware of having insulin on board - I won't drive, eg, until 2 hours after injection (unless I really have to). I do add extra "snits" at meal-times, which IS allowed. Basically, old Boot-face is an old-fashioned control-freak-type doctor! 🙄
 
I couldn't live my life without corrections, particularly because of the gastroparesis. But it is easier to give smaller increments on the pump which, for me, usually prevent problems with insulin stacking.
