Group 7-day waking average?

Real friends are invaluable Amigo...I've said that to you before...likely the whole 'process' (sorry no other suitable word really) seems & is unreal...you will have that house spick & span...the 'guests' will be looked after...it will all come together...you'll do the very best you can for your mother on the day...make sure you have some support for you...some time to be on your own when needed.

Very true Bubbsie. I’m not used to relying on others so it’s a bit of a departure for me but sometimes needs must.
I just wish people wouldn’t say things like, ‘there’s always something’ in response to her passing. Surely that’s more appropriate for when the washer breaks down! 🙄
 
I'm often surprised Heath when I have hardly eaten any carbs...my BGs are okay but not as low as I would expect them to be.
Done from 10pm till 3pm fasting again,x see if it go lower,x

Often they have no idea what to say Amigo...it would be better if they said nothing at all.

Oh I know Bubbsie. People mean well and say what they think will help so I just thank them regardless of appropriateness. An old mate came up to me on Friday night and said, ‘I’m a complete tactless git in these situations so I’m saying nothing but you know what I want to say’. Made me laugh and it was refreshing.
 
Good Morning Everyone.

Codefree say 5.7

Taken when up.
Have a great day all.

It might be worth testing in the night @Spireite72, around 2-3 am, just to check what your levels are like. Your previous large reduction in HbA1c and the fact your nurse is considering moving you off insulin suggests that there is a potential that your doses (particularly nighttime insulin) might be a bit of the high side now and your levels may be dropping lower than desired. A waking headache is sometimes an indication of a nighttime low that your body manages and your levels might look fine when you wake. Just a precaution! 🙂 Did your nurse mention this at all?

No only not to take my NovoRapid if I don’t have any carbs with my meals and to count carbs and adjust my insulin to match 10g carb 1 unit insulin. Never really mentioned anything about my lantus as my morning figure has not been lower than 4.8. Thanks for the tip I’ll set my alarm tonight and check.
 
Sensor in and 6.6 for me. Happy days!

Enjoy the sunshine everyone 🙂
 
Good morning my lovelies 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous start to the day here today 🙂
I'm joining @Vince_UK with a 5.7
Hope you all have a lovely day! :D xx

Amigo, can I say, how many times you help others on the forum, so I am wholeheartedly convinced that you are like that in “real” life, so please, take back the help offered to you and think of yourself. Btw, I am sure your visitors/family are coming to give you and yours support and love at this sad time, not to examine finger prints on windows, dust on skirtings. Your earlier post said about flowers in the house. When my mum passed, 16 yrs ago, I remember coming home from funeral and throwing out all the flowers. My way of closure and felt guilty for money and thoughts spent but oh boy did it give me relief.take care

Not at all Carol. We are here for each other for diabetes stuff, but for other difficult times too.

Sympathies for those on the forum who have recently lost loved ones, or who are facing dark times right now.
 
Morning all 4.7 and a precautionary dextrose tablet on waking. 4.2 and another tab post cats. It could be one of those days. It's better than having boring, predictable diabetes 😉.

Have a good day everyone.
Made me laugh khskel
