Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 5.6 here today and for the first time in a while we actually got to get up at 7am... if only it was a real 7am not a 6am in disguise! No one has explained it to my lively child!

Have a great day all.
 
My diabetes can be so weird! Woke on a 7.5 and had a bacon sandwich and tea for breakfast. Mid morning I had coffee and a sneaky chocolate eclair sweet. My level is now 5.1.
Most people seem more insulin resistant on a morning but it’s the best time for me to process carbs 🙄

Afternoon folks. My bg this morning wasn't a waking bg as such ~ it was an awful insomnia 7.3 after raiding the fridge through the night:( Slap handso_O

That’s Not too bad for a fridge raiding night.
Insomnia really sucks (((hug)))
 
Bit late reporting, but I’m a bit brassed off. I woke around 7.30 BST with a LO. Looking at the Libre trace, I’d been redlining for two hours. That means what I’ve recently suspected, that I’ve completely lost my ability to wake up when I’m low. Jelly Babies by the gobful dragged me up 7.0, so that plus a few drops of herbal oil under the tongue enabled me to get out of bed at 8.15, feeling like death. Still, my BP was 128/78. Whoopee🙂

Soon as I move, I’ll be asking for a pump and CGM with all the alarms, bells and whistles. Should be a shoo-in.😎

Morning all.

5.0 here but have since dropped to 4.3. Desperately trying to ensure I don’t hypo so have suspended my pump as I’m not allowed to eat or drink now.

Anyway, have a great Monday everyone 🙂

@grainger , I hope you manage to stay well clear of the red zone.
Not long now till you’re cuddling your new little one.

I sincerely hope she’s gone into hibernation for the rest of the year.
