Group 7-day waking average?

Really quick busy week. Can’t wait till 4 o’clock, will be finished work and home to switch off and slob. Have a good Friday all

Thanks Carol. Hope the busy day goes well. “A busy day is a happy day” as an old boss once used to say. Not sure I ever quite believed that when running ragged 😛
 
Morning all 6.5 for me. Looks like the spiking effects of the cold are wearing off as had hypo after tea last night.
Diabetes clinic this afternoon. The last few days figures should raise some eyebrows. Especially where the dodgy sensor read LO for 24 hours.

Congrats on the HS @Bubbsie

Have a good day everyone.
Good luck with the appointment 🙂 They'll have a pink fit if you show them that LO! 😱 🙂
 
Good morning folks 🙂
Dull, windy, raining and blooming cold here this morning :( better get a move on and order some hoodies that fit but a whopping £27 each seems a bit steep :(
@Bubbsie congratulations on the HS! :D, @khskel good luck with the appointment this afternoon! 🙂
Anyways its a 5.0 for me this miserable looking day lol
Hope all you nice folks have a fab day! :D xx
Thanks Kaylz...still freezing here so heating was on all day...perhaps I should invest in some hoodies too!

I suspect ours may be on and off all day! Wouldn't be so bad, I'm not a clothes snob that must have designer brands BUT I know Superdry xs fits me perfectly, and that's what I'm needing stuff that fits! xx

Left mine switched on until about 1am this morning K...was about to pack away the winter wardrobe...can't see the point of that at the moment?...will need to invest in some new clothes for Spring myself...not sure I have much left that is a good fit🙂.

Ours is never left on that long, just put on for hour bursts, then it switches itself off if the house reaches the temp the thermostat is set at, no keep the winter clothes to hand just now!, I feel your pain, I'm a size 6 or 8 and have barely anything so really going to have to try and put a few pennies away to get a few bits of clothes, groceries are so expensive though so wont be easy xx

I forgot & nodded off in the big 'phat' comfy chair K...came to around 1am...I have no idea how to work the central heating controls on the 'thingy'...actually I have no idea what all the buttons do in my car...my laptop...or anything else in the house that requires programming.
 
Good morning.everyone. I hope you all have a good day. Will catch up on posts soon..
I am pleased to say My sensor is still behaving itself.

Good luck with the clinic appt. I hope they dont have a hissy fit with that faulty sensors readings.
 
Well you had a narrow escape with your money pledge to DUK if I scored 6.5 or less this morning Mike.

I was 6.6! However, being an honest person I couldn’t lie.

Not a bad result after a celebratory Indian meal out last night 🙂

Good work! Always adds a certain amount of pleasure to an enjoyable meal that can be difficult BG-wise when there isn't any ensuing BG chaos :D

Confession time!🙄 After a heavy carb ladened day yesterday😱 I was loathe to test my waking this morning😳 But I've just plucked up enough courage to test my bgl and my meter has miraculously churned out a 5.9:D More than happy with this. Now what was I doing ~ ah yes, was making a coffee!

Hi guys, hope someone can advise me on my waking Blood Sugar readings, but even though I have asked before, I need to ask again. This morning was a decent 4.4, but for the last week, each morning has left me below 4, do I need to worry? I am currently on two Metformin tablets, one morning, one evening, so am wondering if I should just drop the evening one? I was supposed to be seeing the Diabetic specialist nurse, this month, but so far no invite or bloodform. I guess there is time yet, but there would not be much time left now to get the blood test done before seeing her. How long do you think I should leave it, before getting pushy?

I don't think its being pushy to ask them why you've not had a reminder for your blood test/review...I'd give them a ring and ask for an appointment...do they do the blood tests at your surgery?...it takes a couple of days to process the bloods when I have a review...give them a call & you could mention the morning lows at the same time.
 
I may well do, though will wait another week. It was she who told me I would be called in the first half of the month. Yes they take bloods at my surgery, as long as you are patient! Last time I pushed for an appointment with the Diabetic specialist nurse, it took just over two weeks. My GP: almost five weeks!

Well if you feel more comfortable doing that okay...but...make sure you don't get overlooked entirely...I know some who haven't had a diabetic review for a couple of years...luckily at our surgery we can ring up and book a blood test...so I coincide that with an appointment a few days to a week after that with the GP.
