Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning with an added pinch and punch 🙂 9.5 after a 2.4 last night, I'm the rebound kid at the moment😉

Have to go out for the first time since eye operation today so I'm going to hug the sides of buildings to stay in a straight line and hope I get there and back without any calamities!
Hope the adventure passes without incident Flower - good luck, and stay safe! 🙂
 
Aye, Flower. It’ll be a bit of a change going out when it’s not raining🙄

What you don’t want is dust blown into your eye if it’s a bit breezy. Just boot out of the way all those folk staring at their phones. I know you do that anyway, that’s just a little reminder:D

Sunglasses at the ready for dust and sunshine. Crutches and plaster cast ready to boot townsfolk out of the way. Sorted 😉
 
Good Luck Flower🙂

Mon 13.9 ~ no idea why
Tue 8.7 ~ 🙂
Today 12.1 ~ no idea why

Re the higher numbers I did a ketone test yesterday which was 0.2
 
Well, the end of my 1st Diabetic Month.. I have been testing since Oct 9th the date I first acquired a meter.
Since that date I have completed a total of 81 tests.
Mornings, before and after meals and some randoms. I do not test after meals I know have little affect. Plus the test strips here are costing in excess of £1.60 each.
During that period I have recorded 1 reading at 7.1 the highest with the lowest recorded at 4.1
Individual daily average highest 7, the 7.1 reading, and lowest 4.5
The high readings were the 7.1 steamed rice dumpling half the size of a cricket ball and the 6.5 was after a huge double ground beef burger and salad in a triple layered bun.
Across that time frame my monthly average was 4.9
Allowing for the 10% margn of error in testing that could be either 4.4 or 5.4.
Both still within the non diabetic range if I understand it correctly
The initial reading given to my by my GP on Sept 28th was 7.8 and classed as diabetic.
There seems to be a slight downward trend also as my weight decreased from 98 kilos to 89 kilos in that period which I would have anticipated..

I feel I may have some cause to query my initial diagnosis. I will continue this through November and December.

I trust my assumptions are correct.
Tried to insert a graph but failed miserably.

Based on those averages, you’d have a Hba1c of 27 Vince which is low even for a non diabetic!

I think you need to be questioning your diagnosis too, certainly doesn’t sound like your body is struggling to mount an adequate insulin response though I do realise you’re on Metformin. Be interesting to see what happens if you come off it.
 
Oh lovely! I'll be going to b&m at some point this month, don't suppose you noticed if they do them in a size 6? will keep an eye out for them anyway 🙂 x
I got s/m, didn’t notice other sizes
 
Morning All you lovely peeps
At 5.40 today I was 4.4
Everyone have a great day
