Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks. 4.9 for me today.
 
Morning all.🙂 3.6 here...that’ll be yesterday’s swim working its magic.🙄

Gwennie’s bouncing off the walls this morning so best get out for a walk asap.😛
 
Morning all. Had basal rage last night and didn’t inject any! Knew I was in for a gardening hypo if I didn’t eat something at bedtime, and I really wasn’t hungry, so I omitted my 2 units at bedtime instead. I had a perfectly flat line in the 5s til 3am, then I started the dawn rise, was 7.1 when I woke and 7.9 half an hour later. I really need my basal at 3am. If only there was some device that would do it for me while I slept. Oh wait, there is! It’s called a pump! Only I’d never qualify for one.
 
Morning all. Hope you all have a good day.
5.6 meter, 4.3 Libre, with a lovely overnight flatfish. With 6 days to go Libre has started pulling its little socks up yesterday by only reading below meter.
 
Morning peeps. A 6.8 this morning, I was naughty and went to bed on a 5.3 but like @Robin I wasn’t hungry. Maybe should have reduced my basal a notch as going walking today. Silly moo! Ah well, better fill up my jelly baby box! Have a terrific Tuesday. 🙂
 
Morning all, a 9.7 for me today.
 
Good morning all🙂

I was wakened this morning by men in high viz vests trooping through the apartment laying down stiff paper, leading through to the balcony to replace ceiling panels. Don’t worry, it was expected.🙂

Anyway, woke on 7.2, which with all the excitement appears to have gone up to 9.1. Either that, or yet another basal adjustment is needed.🙄

Onwards and upwards, everyone🙂

Hey @JimBear, those numbers are excellent, no need to wish them lower! 🙂

Good morning 🙂 5.8 for me today 🙂

True, I know they're not way out, but I've always aimed to keep my sugars around 5.0 with astonishing accuracy. My nurse was absolutely astounded when she got my results back and couldn't believe I could maintain it so well and very rarely (until recently - see other thread), hypo. But then I weigh everything meticulously and cook most of my own meals. 🙂
 
Hi all - 4.4 for me this morning. A low one, I guess maybe due to early dinner last night. DP keeping its distance still - after an hour of showering/emails/only water, up to just 4.7.

Have good days!
 
Morning all, 5.6 for me this morning 🙂
 
Morning all, back on the night time basal and a boring 6.1 for me today. I like boring,( in the context of blood glucose).
 
Morning all.🙂 4.4 here.😛

So, according to the news we’re all getting the Libre if we “fit the criteria” - yay! - as far as I’m concerned having T1 is the only criterion. 😎

Been thinking about this amendment while walking the dogs! Delete “having T1” and put “being diabetic” in its place. It’s essential kit for all of us.🙄

Morning all on this wet and windy Wednesday. An astonishing 6.7 today, I was 12.2 before bed! 😱 Again I resisted the urge to correct and it all worked out. Did a 12 mile walk yesterday over 6 hours, had a large lunch half way through, home by 5 and had 2 slices of fruit malt at 8 o’clock which I bolused for. Obviously at 10.30 they were still working their way through me! Off to meet a friend for a cuppa ( and scone probably) this morning, well I have to celebrate World Diabetes Day and Charlie’s 70th birthday somehow! 😉
 
Good morning all🙂

I woke on 5.9, which is fine, I suppose. No DP, which is fine too🙂

Libres for everyone? That’s daft, another uncosted dream from Hancock the technology man, inspired by his boss. It’s also daft because it requires a modicum of intelligence to even use it, it’s a step change from blood testing. I bet he wouldn’t have thought this one up if Mrs May didn’t have one, he doesn’t have an original thought in his head.:confused:

Anyway, I’m happy because my Serious Reader’s light arrived yesterday, so I can read the paper without any bending or twisting to catch the light. Old eyes, eh?:D

I know it’s not essential, but there’s nothing like making life easier and more comfortable. This is costed technology😎
