Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 10.1😡, my fault awake all night so had tea & biscuitssss 02:30. Its been a busy morning washing done, been to the opticians, come back posted on here, now off to the Hope program all afternoon.

Take care all have a nice day 🙂.
 
Hi @Bloden interesting comment about not exercising when high, never heard this one why is that? I'm spending the day working on getting my blood sugars into a normal range and then just trying to get back to regularly taking my insulin. I have been testing so that's one thing, when i go off the rails I normally avoid that too.
 
They're doing considerably better than PNE who are propping up the table. Husband has gone into a decline.

Think my husband is in same boat as yours at the moment....As an Ipswich Town supporter. I understand the new manager did say he would get them out of the championship...I guess he didn't specify in which direction:(.
 
I can't keep up with this thread, so sorry if I've missed anything I should be replying to - I'm just checking in to say the day before yesterday I woke up 4.0 and yesterday I woke up 3.1 😱

So last night I lowered my basal half a unit, and this morning I woke up 7.3 😡
 
Morning all. Cold dwindling & so is BG - down to 4.5.
 
Good morning. Hope you all have a good day.
Felt a bit rough yesterday and running higher than normal l think it was due to the flu jab on Wednesday.
However I believe this mornings 8.2 is more to do with with a lovely fruit scone that disappeared down my gullet late last night, hangs head in shame.
 
Morning all house special for me.

Good review yesterday HbA1C 45 and all other tests good. I could almost pass for healthy if it weren't for the injections, tablets and occasional blood letting.

Have a good day everyone.

Great results for HbA1c
 
06:53 BS 9.2. Slightly better reading. Right arm, flu jab site due to injury on left, was even more swollen so, applied an ice pack before bed. Still took 8 units Levemir at Midnight, no probs this time, & back to sleep.🙂

Still a bit of a restless night as both of my arms hurt: injury on left & flu jab on right!:(

Not hungry again! So, 10 units Novorapid & half an oatcake! Know from the other day that 'llI be hungry around the 2 hour mark. Will eat a smaller breakfast & have another !0 units. This actually works out better for me than not bolusing at all & have my BS rising so, I end up using more insulin! I'm still finding out better ways for better control!🙄

In reading back yesterday's reply, on this thread, I didn't sound like my usual self at all, oh dear!😳

I now more enthusiastically greet you all with a very GOOD morning & wish you may all carry the sunshine on the inside!😉 Two enthusiastic thumbs up emoji!

Hiya @Emma Lowery. 🙂 I don’t know the science behind not exercising when higher than 14/15/16 (ev1’s different!), but it’s deffo a “thing”. Oi boffins, wakey wakey, we’ve got a question!🙄

Looks like you’re up and running, Emma. Good for you.🙂

Morning all.😛 7.2 here.:D
 
@Emma Lowery, Exercising at high BS means a danger of producing ketones & that makes your blood sugars go even higher because the exercise itself increases the demand for more insulin & body can't keep up!
 
Morning all. A 4.5 this morning, lower than I would like, went to bed on 7.1. Had my Levemir same time as always, within a half hour time frame. Up usual time today. Did toss and turn and sweat a lot last night because of this bloomin’ women’s stuff! So who knows eh? It sure likes to keep us on our toes. New oven coming Monday, getting eye level this time, thinking ahead for when I get old (er) and can’t bend down! So new housing required, so kitchen cupboards currently been ripped out to accommodate this, feel like I am living in a Homes Under the Hammer episode! 😱

Oh yeah. Now I remember. Thanks, Lanny. 🙂

The body detects a lack of glucose going into the cells (it’s stuck in the bloodstream cos we don’t make insulin), so it sends a message to the liver to dump more glucose into the bloodstream, sending us poor insulin-deficients sky-high.🙄
