Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning gang🙂

I woke on 5.4 for a comfort break at 5.30. As this was just a snapshot with the cheapo Tee2 (which doesn’t have a backlit screen 😡) I left that alone. Woke at 9.10 with a BG of 3.4. In the normal run of things that 5.4 might well have been accompanied by a downward arrow. All will be sorted tomorrow.🙂

Anyway, I have an agonising decision to make. Watch the test match, or premier league footie? I know it’s not a life or death decision, it’s more important than that😱
 
Good morning everyone. Woke up with a lovely house special 5.2 this morning 🙂

8.2 after a really bad day and had a melt down. My son was really good and helped me through it, but I am going to confess I have been really bad with ice-cream for a couple of months now, I can only go a couple of days and then the craving is so bad I give in. But after speaking to my son last night who was wonderful with me, I know I have to be strong, I am diabetic and have to change my lifestyle on summer days as well. If I really want to start reducing my medication I have to get back to where I was a couple of months ago with clean eating and exercise. Sorry for the essay everyone.

Have you tried the low carb, low calorie Oppo Lorraine? The salted caramel is delicious and doesn’t affect my bg’s at all. I get it at Asda.
 
6.3 for me this morning. Finally plucked up the courage to take my new injection last night (trulicity). It's a once a week injection and I've heard horror stories about the side effects so a bit nervous BUT I've woken up feeling fine so far.. not tried to eat yet today mind

Side effects aren’t compulsory, Emma. Best of luck! 🙂
 
Morning all.🙂 9.7 here.😱 Curry sometimes has a BG-raising effect on me...should’ve had a correction dose.🙄

Another week of garden clearing ahead...yippee!:D
 
Grrr. Awake early when on holiday. 9.7 for me.Going to force myself out of bed to go for a birthday card then out to Nando’s for lunch- never been before, so an adventure. Then Dobbies for whatever and avoid scone.



Can’t believe it, looked at Nando’s menu which gives you nutritional advice. Maybe chicken salad the best option

I’ve looked at garden, growled at weeds, and picked up my book and/or knotting instead
 
Good morning. Hope you all have a good day.
5.3 for me today.
My insulin needs are going back up so it looks like Autumn/winter is on its way, well I hope it’s that and not the other reason.

6.9 for me this morning. This new injection is definitely lowering my insulin requirements. Took my usual for dinner and was down to 4.5 before bed. Had a little ice cream which kept me boosted for the night. Side effects do seem to have come into effect this morning, terrible heartburn and some nausea. Will just have to see how the rest of the week plans out! As this is only half dosage I think I need some time to adjust before thinking about any increase.
 
Bang The Drum 7.1 at 5am....need to get up later, seems to be lower, but work calls. Damn livelihood getting in the way of low readings pfffft.
 
Good morning a 6.4 for me, have a good day all🙂.
 
5.8 this morning after a bad night of feeling sick, being clammy and a pounding heart beat. Oh well feel better this morning.
 
Before breakfast this morning it was 7.7 and I had a tomato and a few pieces of tinned mackerel, a glass of tomato juice as always and two hours later it was 10.6! I just don't undersatnd these figures!
