Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all.🙂 9.5 here...last night’s lemon chicken? Too much knitting while watching tv? I needed two correction doses overnight, whatever’s to blame.:confused:🙂

Knitting group this morning and Welsh class this evening...life in the fast lane!😛

Good luck, @Ditto. That’s great advice, Northie.
 
Morning all, 6.9 here. OH woke me up at 4.30 am when he stubbed his toe on the bed on his way to the bathroom, and I couldn't decide if I was feeling half asleep or a bit low, after my weird half dream half hypo moment a few nights ago. Didn't want to wake up fully and test, so I had a jelly baby just in case. Turns out I didn't need it. I'll be cracking and putting on a libre sensor soon, so much easier for middle of the night moments.
 
07:43. 8.7. I suppose that’s to be expected! Went to bed as usual last night not realising the iPhone was low on battery. Woke for a call of nature at 01:53 to realise the alarm didn’t go off, the phone was dead, tested BS risen to 9.0, did my business, plugged the phone in & back to bed! A mini palaver in the early hours!😱

Yesterday was a mixed bag of readings as I tried reducing the breakfast dose because of the 4 or 5 mmol drops after the 2 hour mark & before lunch! That didn’t happen, with the reduced dose, yesterday & didn’t drop much BS 9.5 before lunch so, 8+2=10 units Novorapid & after lunch BS 12.8. I was horrified & had a +2 correction.

Rang my DSN for advice & she said it was the right thing to do reducing the dose to avoid hypos & given time BS will settle down again to the lower dose.

2 hours after correction BS 8.5. Phew! But, felt hungry just over an hour later BS 5.1. That’s quite a drop in an hour! Had 8 units Novorapid & after BS 6.6. Realised that I maybe didn’t need the correction earlier!🙄 Went to bed soon after!

I was tempted to up the breakfast dose back up to 18 this morning but, stuck with the 16. Exercised & had breakfast. Will have to see what happens to my BS today!🙄

It was actually nice to have a bit of daylight peeping through the curtains since I got up a wee bit later! Now, after breakfast the sun is shining & it’s not too bad out there!🙂

Good morning to you all & carry the sunshine on the inside!:D
 
Oh, a little PS: had a really nice dream last night that a cure for diabetes was discovered & all us diabetics were queueing up for injections in the arm. Former diabetics who had the condition for decades being interviewd on tv & talking about their new found freedoms! Aw! It was a GREAT dream!😛:D
 
Morning all, 9.4 for me today. Busy few days ahead, finish removing old kitchen, seeing Shania twain in concert tomorrow, need to pack my case ready for going on holiday next week, charity do on Sunday! No rest for the wicked.
 
Morning folks. 4.9 this morning, but may have spoken too soon re nipping cold in bud, dammit.

Oohh!😛 Lucky you, Shania Twain live!:D
 
I started 'being good' yesterday apart from that half a small loaf just to finish it off! In the single figures this morning yay. 8 summat. I'm trying to do low carb and only eat at 10 and 5. I wanted to do a liquid only diet ie SlimFast but I'm thinking best not and anyways when I tried it for four days I wanted to gnaw my own arm off. 🙄

Have a good day all.
 
Late again! Got stuck into the ironing and catching up with my guilty pleasure. Great British Menu. A 6.4, happy with that, two days on the trot I seem to have got it right. Spoke too soon probably. Just read it’s National Vegetarian Day so we are having ratatouille and rice for our evening meal, shame I had a bacon sarnie for my breakfast! 😳
 
I did get up early honest . No idea why but was 10.4 😱 I double checked with a finger bodge and it was in the same ballpark , all sorted out with my brekkie bolus though 🙂.
 
Hi @Ditto . It’s lovely to see you here. No best not gnaw your arm off as they do come in handy :D .
Your trying your best . {{{hug}}}
