Group 7-day waking average?

[Wirrallass]

Morning folks on this bright but damp day. Slept solid last night for 9hrs yeah!
Roll out the carpet my test strips were delivered yesterday ~ I can't manage my diabetes without them ~ I awoke to a 6.3 ~ happy with this.
Take care folks and be kind to yourselves and one another x

Hi all, a 7.8 for me today. I'm a bit late posting as I'm at a health and wellbeing champions forum for work today. The nutrition talk was interesting as soon as I saw the eat well plate, I thought here we go!!! I did explain to the woman doing it that it's not great for diabetics! And I've just been handed a snack bag full of fruit I can't eat!!! I can't wait to see what lunch is!

Morning, 7.6 for me this morning hope everyone is well. Have a great day all x

Thank you Barbara ~ you too. Its good to see your'e still maintaining single numbers so you must be doing something right x

[Wirrallass]

Good morning guys 🙂 5.4 for me after a bed time biscuit for a 5.2, good luck to anyone with appointments today 🙂 and hope everyone has a fab day! x

Kaylz great numbers there ~ you should be well pleased with yourself ~ new found confidence maybe? And thanks you have a fab day too xx

 

[Wirrallass]

Highest waking number for about 2 yrs, 8.1! Shocking!

I know there’s other health things ramping up which are pushing the levels up and they steady as the day goes. Need for a re-think and more effort I reckon 😳

Good heavens Amigo ~ was it the lemon drizzle or coffee & walnut?!! 😛That buddy DF showing her presence again😱 I thought we'd kicked her into touch! Joking apart, I hope you can get your numbers down into your more respectable range soon x

Afternoon all! Didn't test on waking, but was 5.8 before brekky. Experimented with Fuel Protein Wheat Biscuits again. Last time I had them I peaked at 9.5 after 1 hour, but dropped to 5.6 after 2 hours. I did test before eating, but can't remember what it was, something in the 5's. Well, this time I added mixed nuts & seeds, linseed & double cream with full fat milk. Peaked at 6.1 after 1 hour, but forgot to test after 2 hrs. I'll presume it didn't go up much more if at all. Looks like the added fat & fibre slowed them down.🙂

As expected lunch is a selection of sandwiches, quiches, sausage rolls! I'll be popping to the shops soon for something more suitable!

That's interesting Mark ~ thanks for sharing ~ your experimenting will no doubt help others here. You'll have to do something about your forgetfulness tho🙄
Doesn't your meter show what your previous readings are? I use a Contour TS meter and I can go back to earlier readings from weeks/months.

 

[Wirrallass]

Good morning everybody & I hope you're all having a good day so far 🙂 It was 11.6 for me this morning ~ over target range ~ I didn't do a correction because I corrected less than 4 hours ago

The earlier high and the high on waking were probably because at bedtime I ate some supper which I bolused for ~ my bedtime reading was 4.3 so lower than my target ~ I went very low during eating my supper & ended up reaching for the kitchen cupboards & eating extra carbs ~ 4 lotus biscoff biscuits & 2 choc ices!

good luck for today @Flower

Sorry to see your'e still struggling to maintain in range numbers Gill ~ sounds like a nightmare for you ~ I truly hope you can make them stable soon. Lotus biscuits & 2 choc ices to die for ~ for me!

Thought I would try this so this morning when I woke at 5.30 I took a reading. Got out of bed first but not sure if that is the normal way or not.
Woke up, got up, pricked reading at 5.33am was 4.2. Last reading before bed was 4.9. I have no idea what an acceptable waking reading should be. 4.2 seems fine to me although I may be wrong.
Had my All-Bran and blueberries went to the office 2 cups of coffee took post meal reading at 8.30 (all-bran at 6.30) was 5.1. Seems fair

Vince have you tried taking your waking BEFORE you get out if bed? Once we put our feet on the floor our bgls elevate. 4.2 and 5.1 are very in range numbers ~ in fact they're excellent so no worries there. Keep on doing what you are doing.

Thanks WL
First time I did it maybe at the weekend i will try before i get up. Problem is I have the habit of waking up and getting up! Does that mean WL before I got up the level would have been below 4.2 and is that a problem?

More than likely it would be lower but by how much I cannot say. The only way to find out is to test. Not sure if I'm giving you the right info here but if its too low then I would suggest breakfast asap to elevate your bgl.

Thanks WL. This whole thing still confuses me sometimes. I feel perfectly normal and good when I wake up. Nothing untoward Wil try at the weekend

My levels are actually higher when I first wake than if I test after showering. I suspect we are all different.
Levels in the 4’s and 5’s are non diabetic levels Vince and superb! NICE recommend under 7 to avoid diabetic complications so you are beating the guidelines massively.

Show off! Lol

5.9 this morning anything under 4.5 is a hypo with me 4.0 is getting bad 3.5 and I'm pushing it once had a 2.2 very bad almost unconscious

I keep trying
Don't mean to show off just happens lol
Actually my daily average figures since I started testing at the bening of the month have been between 4.6 and 5.3.
The highest single test I have recorded was 7.1 after I had eaten a rice flour steamed bun full of sugar about 1/2 the size of a cricket ball. 5 hours later it was 4.2

With numbers like those Vince, when you've only been diagnosed a month, I'd be going back to your doctor and questioning whether you need the metformin. All the numbers you mention are in the non-diabetic range, and most people without diabetes would rise to 7.0 or more after eating the bun that you describe, whilst the pancreas catches up with food, but only for a short while. How did your diagnosis come about? Do you know what your HbA1c measurement was?
