Group 7-day waking average?

Happy weekend folks! 5.1 this morning, straddling a HS.
 
05:19 BS 11.9. Shocking!!!😱

Slept for over 15 hours after lunch yesterday & was only briefly awake by the midnight alarm for Levemir. Woke up all bright eyed, bushy tailed & raring to go!:D

Yesterday’s tale was too much insulin, near hypo BS 4.9 90 mins. later so, earlier than planned breakfast, lunch, just about ok after BS 9.1 & conked out: out for the count afterwards.🙄 I usually take half my breakfast dose with half an oatcake if not hungry to stop BS rising! But, with me recovering & needing less insulin, I got it wrong!:(

Had 20 units Novorapid. With yesterday’s half oatcake then, near hypo coke treatment & breakfast I had 10 units & 8 units & BS was ok! So, +2 for the high BS this morning! Liver dump during long sleep?🙄

Only time will tell if I get today’s guessing game right!🙄

Did exercises & had breakfast! Currently waiting to test & a nice hot bath after!🙄:D

GOOD MORNING everyone!:D Did that wake you up? May you carry the sunshine on the inside to warm you up from the cold on the outside!🙂 Brrr! It’s cold this morning!😱
 
Working this morning then haircut
15.1 for me. Spoke to pharmacist, will maybe take a month for new medication to make a difference

Have a good day all
 
Morning all, a 9.1 for me today.
 
Good morning folks, it’s a nice bright sunny one here in E Kent no breeze either 🙂
Woke up much earlier for @ comfort break 4 a m 😱 on 6.6 managed to go back to sleep till 9 a m 🙂 on 6.0
Had a fairly even line overnight.

Whatever it is that has managed to grab me and hold me tightly in its grip (fingers crossed) seems to be getting weaker 🙂. It’s a funny old thing, not a proper cold, no sore throat or coughing just the occasional huge sneeze that comes out of nowhere, tired all the time , no energy with another drafted ear infection.
Just for a change I’m needing less insulin. I wonder if my early warning system for being ill will work in reverse.

Morning chaps. A 6.2 this morning and that was with me being naughty and going to bed on a 5.3!( please don’t try this at home) 😱. Must sort out my evening ratio, sick of eating toast at 11pm. Hence why I didn’t last night. Off to Tesco now, oh joy, and then back to unpack, have lunch and walk the dog to get our flu jabs.

Must be some odd Lurgy doing the rounds. I came back from a walking holiday a few weeks ago, and felt really off for a few days, and my BG levels were all over the place. I put it down to post holiday tiredness, but one morning my levels went back to normal and I felt much livelier, so I reckon I'd 'had something' (probably caught it on the plane home) but apart from the lethargy and a few sniffles, it never developed into anything definite.
Hope you get rid of yours soon!
 
Good morning folks🙂

Sorry about the American style greeting, I’ve just been reading the Washington Post. Mind boggling.

Anyway, another perfect night according to Libre, woke on 6.2. Neat.

It’s a lovely day here, but chilly first thing. I love these autumn days. Might get out for a walk. Well, a roll. Who cares? 🙂
 
Morning all, 9.2 for me today. IllI be on my way to London soon for this year Diabetes UK London Bridges Challenge. Should be good.
