Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone 12.0 forme. I'm not unhappy with that because I had made the decision to run higher because of the recent horrible overnight hypos. So tonight I won't need need to reduce my evening bolus and I've increased my midnight to 4am basal by a little bit. Hopefully that will sort it.

Busy day today. Rheumatology this morning to see if they can help with my back/hip walking/standing problems and social services this afternoon to see if they can help me start getting back on top of things again 🙂
I hope they can help you.
 
Good morning my lovelies! 🙂 Anyone else glad its all over and we can get back to some normality? LOL
Good luck with the appointments @Vince_UK , @AJLang and @khskel , hope all goes well
@Ljc VERY impressive! :D
Twas a surprising but very welcome 5.8 for me this morning after a not so great 8.7 at bedtime (assuming this was due to a slight rebound as I caught myself at 4.2, 2 hours after my sandwich, and I suspect I still had some iob when I went to bed)
Anyways hope you all have a lovely day and stay safe folks! :D x
 
Thank you everyone. Good luck with your foot appointment Flower.
 
@Flower good luck with your appointment! x
 
Morning all!. Despite finally having a portion of Christmas pud last night, woke up today with a 5.6.🙂 Good luck to all who are at the docs today.
 
Eventually up from under a new duck down snuggly duvet which is far too comfortable for its own good! Yesterday took it’s toll!

Well my liver obviously thought I was up and needed help so started pushing glucose out regardless. So I was 7.1 on waking.

I’m also thoroughly glad it’s all over @Kaylz. Being over 2 weekends has meant this festive lark has gone on far too long. So back to normal today...decorations are stacked away and hopefully my low mood will lift 😳

Have a good day everyone...it’s nithering cold here today o_O
 
@Amigo my mum had the fibre optic tree and the fairy lights off the window last Wednesday! LOL, so glad that everything will be back to normal routine now, hate eating at different times, and man remembering the splitting of the injections and how much I had left to take before the dessert was stressing me out! Haha
Hope you feel better soon my lovely! :D xx
 
Decorations down, wee chocolates in rudolf in bin. Clearing out fridge today. Back to what passes as normality. Tidied house, tidied freezer with list of “to use ups” now coffee, finances the fridge and shower. Pick up car, shopping and make a “vince” loaf and sausage casserole. Did I say lazy day???

Morning all. A crappy 10.0 for me but not entirely surprising as we’ve dropped in on my inlaws who are notorious for feeding!
I miscalculated my cake with parfait last night.

Heading home today so will be finally back to normality!
 
Afternoon all. 6.8 @ 10.04am not bad after half a jar of pickled onions last night...couldn't resist. 🙂
 
Afternoon everybody just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Lost our fence last week with those gales and expecting strong winds at some point tonight or tm again, boiler man out today more expense. :(

7.8 for me today

Good luck to everyone with appointments.

Have a lovely evening.
 
This is an early waking number - and yes I'm down to 2.9 AGAIN this time at 3am - surely I don't need to reduce my basal much more?? I've just had 30g of carbs and I've reduced my basal by 30% for the next four hours. Will probably wake up high later. Should be an interesting review at diabetic clinic next week. Consultant to me: Dr Langley your BG's are running very low Me: Really?? I hadn't realised. Yes I know that's why I've reduced my basal of over ten units during the last three weeks, virtually living on full carb coke in the early hours of the morning. What do you suggest Doctor?
Sorry ignore this post I am just tired and grumpy at the moment.
