Group 7-day waking average?

[Northerner]

Thank you Alan🙂 Maybe I'm trying to be too much of a perfectionist😉🙂

It's hard not to be! 🙂

 

[AJLang]

Very true🙂

Well, I was 12.7when i woke up this morning - still high but hopefully when the gliclazide kicks in I'll be better. (Although I've read that sertraline raises your BS so maybe I'll be at a stalemate!) ugh this diabetes thing is so confusing

Good morning 🙂 9.1 for me after an early morning encounter with a massive, scary spider in the kitchen. I think adrenalin pushed my levels up so that I could run away! It's in the vacuum cleaner now thank goodness.

I hope everyone manages to have a good weekend and bg levels start to behave a bit better 🙂

A leaving present from the Fairy, perhaps? I wouldn't put it past her (although secretly she told me she's got a bit of a soft spot for you now 😉)

Much better than the 18s you were getting, though - hope you get to see further improvements very soon 🙂

The trouble with diabetes is that it is so bound up in everything else that is going on with us - that's what makes it so difficult and confusing at times 🙄

I hadn't realised just how complicated it all is. When I think back over the previous year or so, I've been very poorly physically and I've realised that it was probably all interlinked with the diabetes. Even little things like I got an insect bite on my leg two months ago and it's still not healed 100%!

That's one of the first things I noticed after diagnosis - things take so much longer to heal. Things should improve though when your levels are under better control 🙂

Good morning 🙂 6.5 for me today. I was 5.5 before bed, but because I had done quite a bit of gardening and had a couple of hypos (of course!) I was cautious and had some cheese on toast to top myself up - it seems to have worked! 🙂

 

[AJLang]

Northerner I'm so pleased that you had such a good night after the gardening🙂
Good morning everyone. 2.9 for me and a sore throat - probably not helped by dancing and singing at an Abba show last night

Oh dear! Hope you levels stabilise and you feel better soon - I wondered why I could hear ABBA songs somewhere off to the North last night! 🙂

 

[AJLang]

Lol was that oh dear to my singing I was one of only three people dancing to the song Eagle It was a good night. I think I will crawl back under my duvet in a minute🙂

Morning a 5.6 today, and super cold virus is hanging on in there, if I wasn't in awe of its dogged determination I'd be quite angry with it now!

 

[Flower]

Good morning 🙂 an on the edge 3.9 for me today.

 

[Lindarose]

Good morning and 7.1 today after a nice lay in 🙂

That cold is heading for a place in the Guinness book of records Kooky. Definitely out staying it's welcome. And hope you soon get a bit higher readings Flower.

 

[Amigo]

I had a lay in too and woke up to a slightly higher 6.9. That'll teach me

 

[KookyCat]

Morning 6.7 today, it seems super cold might have been gazumped by uber cold. It seemed it was on its way out and then yesterday I had the predictable "I'm getting a cold" blood sugar madness, and this morning I have an actively stuffed up nose (as opposed to the after affects of an actively stuffed up nose). Did I tell you that the cold virus is my nemesis. It's going to be one of those years

I'm blaming my godson for this one though, he's been like a snot monster for the last week and he gave me those puppy dog "I need a hug eyes", I must learn to be more Cruella and say no to all human contact, yes that's the key 😉

 

[AJLang]

Good morning everyone 2.4😱 No flipping pattern. I cut my extended bolus and went to bed at 6.8. According to the Libre I was between 9 and 10 at 1am (this was when I was having hypos earlier in the week) but then there is a very steep drop down to 3 at about 3am. According to the Libre I remained hypo until I woke up at 5.30 with hypo symptoms and a 2.4. The hypos are happening at different times of the night and with no pattern. I know that it is the gastroparesis, I know that my local clinic will only refer me to the diabetes gastroparesis "specialist" who will only recommend a liquid diet. It was hard enough getting the pump. Not her fault - and this is with me having two different hospitalss treating me. She has patients with gastroparesis that is much worse than I have and cannot get the equipment that she needs for them.
Thank goodness so much that I will have hypo symptoms but I'm getting worn out with these hypos and the way that they are affecting my sleep - especially adding in the CFS/ME and now being at university. Oh well onward and upward🙂

 

[AJLang]

KookyCat I'm sorry that you're still suffering. Big hugs

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 5.0 for me today.

Really sorry to hear you are both suffering, KookyCat and Amanda

 

[Bloden]

Morning folks.🙂 7.1 here.😛 It's a holiday here today - a great way to start the week IMHO.

I hope things improve for you both asap, AJ and Kooky.😱
