Group 7-day waking average?

Good evening everybody 🙂 it was a horrible 15.1 for me this morning & no idea why 😡😡😡
Dinner yesterday 6.3 @ 20:36pm ~ bolused for dinner
Bedtime 5.3 @ 23:54pm ~ so not exactly 4 hours from dinner time bolus ~ had a sandwich for supper & bolused
 
So....update: Following on from my dental appt today (I didn't have my wibbly wobbly tooth extracted ~ that's tomorrow) I ventured to our local shopping centre intending to have just a refreshing cup of coffee......but treated myself to a little pastry or two to take home 🙂🙄 I was starving and it was too early for my evening meal.
I tested 2hrs later and it was 6.6.
So to recap: My waking was 6.7 at 04.20am
.... 4hours later it was 7.0
....then 2hours post my pastry treats (at approx 16.10hrs) my bg was 6.6 at 18.35hrs. My levels have remained steady since first thing this morning which surprised me.! I did a fair bit of walking at the shopping centre so do you think it was the walking that kept my bg numbers in range and not elevate like I thought they would? I'm not complaining but I'd appreciate your take on this, thanks folks.

Good morning again folks ~ so I've just tested to see how my bgl is doing after testing at 04.20am ~ and it's elevated from 6.7 to 7.0. Not a lot I know but it looks like the frozen lasagne I had for my evening meal is the culprit! I very rarely have a ready meal and unusually for me I didn't check the amount of carbs. Then came.............
View attachment 5759
.......and the amount of carbs in that meal was an undesirable 56g:( Then I took a peek at the ingredients and just to give you an idea there was only 11% of cooked minced beef ~ wheat flour incl sugar ~ 14% pasta sheets ~ and caramelized sugar syrup!😱 No more frozen ready meals for moi from now on!

@wirralass That isn't bad at all WL. You will be fine. HIgher than your prefered levels I know but nothing to get upset about.
Take some comfort from the fact that it wasn't as high as my 8.2 on Saturday after my Aberdeen Angus Burger King which was delicious beyond belief.
Perhaps the cold weather is a factor also, my levels have definitely risen slightly since the temps here dropped.

Thanks, as you know I've been trying to get my numbers back in the 5's again. I don't know how your 8.2 dropped to 4 something after your Berger King treat!🙂 Unless you walked 5-10 miles! Ah that's it ~ I havent put in the exercise since I bruised my ribs but very much on the mend now so I think its time to start wearing my fitbit motivator again 🙂

You will don't fret.. Life is prone to hiccups sometimes.
I don't know either WL it just did all by its likkle self. I just sat on the sofa lol
Saturday was quite warm here also.
My levels have definitely been a little higher than in the past and I do consider the lower temps a contributing factor.
Lastnight for example after smoked salmon, tuna salad with only 10gr carbs and 3 toms plus some 500 day old matured Gouda cheese it hit 6 after 2 hours for some reason then 1 hour later was 5.7.
Maybe I am just weird.

Haha! Join the club!:D
 
Good morning folks . It’s going to be a cold one in many places today, colder than Iceland apparently. So wrap up warm and if your poorly stay indoors.

I spotted the time you posted @wirralass are you up late or early.

Started a new sensor yesterday so am checking it against my meter
