Group 7-day waking average?

2.9 for me today :(
I've had enough of swinging between highs and lows, it's exhausting, and lord knows what it's doing to my poor old body. Can't wait for for my pump Consultant appointment.

Yeah, it’s exhausting alright! I went through a series of 8 hypos in 10 days at the end of Jan. & beginning of Feb. 2018! When I had to keep lowering my insulin doses until they stopped! I slept round the clock, about 20 hours, afterwards!

Hopefully, you get a pump soon that’ll help sort that out for you!
 
Well of course my age doesn't help, peri menopausal anyone? I was told I should be getting an appointment for 21st June, fingers crossed, am still waiting x

Hope your pump appointment comes through soon Lucy.

I'd pester them Lucy to make sure that appointment comes to fruition...sometimes it's the only way.

I went through rises & drops too, recently because I’m premenopausal too! I found eating an oatcake with no sugar peanut butter at bedtime, very helpful for sustained release overnight while I slept! I didn’t correct the highs because there would always be a sudden drop that could catch me out & go hypo, if I did correct!
 
Thanks for the support everyone, I'm going to ring them today to see what's happening with my supposed appointment. I feel no one is listening to me or taking my concerns seriously :(
Agree Lucy...that's why we have to make sure they do listen...good luck.

Hope you have a pleasant and easy trip back Vince.
 
5.8 for me after eating another piece of hubby's Victoria sandwich. Hopefully he will be eaten it all by the time I get home today.
Lorraine that's a great score...particularly given the cake.
 
A lovely jubbly 5.0 this morning, which I was well pleased with :D

I tested Mr Marten (who is now just about pre-diabetic) before his porridge this morning and he was 5.7. Two hours later he was 7.0, so not too bad.

I like your style, you show him how it's done :D

It's funny how he would stuff white bread, cakes etc while I didn't yield to temptation...then once he was told after a blood test that his number (new money) was 43 he suddenly gave up his bread and cakes and started eating my Burgen and Hovis 🙄

Hehe! I can sympathise. On my way to get my results from my OGTT when I was diagnosed I had a chocolate bar, thinking that this might be one of my last opportunities before I had been told 'officially' that I had T1 (how little I knew!!)
