Group 7-day waking average?

Hi everyone, had a 2.8 at 1.30am 😱 I had also reduced my basal by 2 units and had the biscuit and peanut butter as @Lanny suggested. I will keep that up. I've got a sore throat today, so maybe that has been a factor. I've left a message wrt pump appointment and a message for my DSN to get back to me so I can see her next week, hopefully!

I was 7.3 when I got up, and have been relatively stable since, fingers crossed. I hope the DF leaves me alone for a while as I'm working the next 3 nights and can do without it. However, I test regularly through the night and can usually head them off at the pass. I'm definitely having some chocolate tonight :D

Strange day today.
Had dinner and collapsed into bed at 7pm, hit the ZZzzzzz's
Woke at midnight got up had a couple of coffees, went back to bed for an hour. Complete waste of time.
Starving
Tested and got a 7.6 which did not surprise me at all.
Made 2 bacon sandwiches on the low carb rolls I bought from the Low Carb Megastore which were delivered yesterday afternoon. More coffees,
2 hours post 7.1.
Still high but I am not going to complain, still lower that the 7.9 post on NICE recommendations so.......

Have a good day everyone

Oh dear! :(

Arnica is good for pulled muscles & the like! Aloe vera gel is soothing & cooling on bites & stings that can get hot!

Hope things calm down for you! Don’t push your leg too much with any marathons now! 🙄 , with a whistle!
 
06:10 BS 10.7. Actually woke up, call of nature more than an hour earlier, just before 05:00! Tried to go back to sleep but, ended up going to the bathroom AGAIN, for no. 2’s, & series of massive waking up yawns! Knew I wasn’t going back to sleep & better test, & some insulin, before dawn phenomenon raises my BS further!

I went go bed on a really good figure too, 6.2! My after dinner reading, just after my bath, was 6.9! Borderline but, I didn’t snack as I didn’t need the oatcake the other night!

I was catching up on here & yawning for about 2.5 hours after & tested just before dropping off, after the effects of Novorapid to check I wasn’t too low!

It’s been 25 mins since my breakfast dose of Novorapid & I will cook breakfast now!

It’s much cooler today with less cloud cover than yesterday so, hopefully not so humid!

Wishing you all a wonderful day! 🙂

A DSN has rang me back, I've got an appointment to see my DSN next Tuesday PM. I've been advised to carry on with reducing my night levermir by 2 units until then.

That's good you have a appointment and hope this means your pump is getting closer. I hope your numbers are ok with working nights over the next few days.

Welcome back and sure your numbers will settle down once your body clock is sorted, your numbers have been so good. Enjoy all your low carb food and don't work too hard. 🙂

Hope it goes well and you have a good stock of paracetamol for when the anaesthetic wears off - I've only had one tooth extracted as an adult, and it was for the same reason as you, it was sore afterwards for a few days.
