Group 7-day waking average?

Thank you Northerner! Monitor has just arrived in the post, so I’ll set it up and get going.
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke with 7.1, went to bed on 6.1. In the great scheme of things, it’s not worth bothering about.🙄

Should have been going to the Rovers this afternoon, but I’m a bit too achy and wobbly today, and don’t want to be sitting in the cold for two hours, it will just make things worse. Never mind, they’ll manage without my groans and curses:D

Have a good day everyone, don’t spend too much🙂
 
19.1 this morning but no more steroids for a few days.
Hoping for low readings soon.
Have a good Saturday folks xx
 
Hi folks, 4.5 this morning 🙂. Having a real battle with Doc about BGLs, DSN & consultant would be happy to stabilise at 5 to7/8, Doc wants it up at 15😱. Whose right or wrong? My body tells me DSN is right and that is what I shall strive for. Apologies for being absent for a few days, hope all are as well as can be expected.
 
Good morning

Its 6.8 for me today . My Libre run out sometime during the night and guess what I forgot to do yesterday, so I’ll slap one on after my shower and activate it straight away, fingers crossed it behaves itself.

OMG 15 😱 Where on earth did doc get that idea from. My advise is listen to the Consultant- DSN and your body as you and they are the experts. Maybe the Consultant needs to write to your doc about this.

Morning all, 5.1 here.
@KARNAK, 15 is above the point where the kidneys start flushing extra glucose out of the body. It puts a strain on them, and increases the risk of UTIs. Why would anyone want levels up there if they could avoid it?

I agree with @Ljc, Ted - 15 is absolutely ridiculous, he must be thinking of a completely different condition! Stick wit the DSN/Consultant 🙂 5 to 7/8 would be ideal 🙂

Aye, hope things improve. It’s a sod taking steroids with diabetes. I can fix it with insulin, but if you aren’t on insulin to you’ve just got to wear it. Best of luck.🙂

Thanks Mike, insulin is more flexible and, who knows, I may get a treatment change for chemo without steroids! I can dream
 
13.6 for me this morning. Good morning everyone
 
Morning all. 6.9 on this drizzly misty day. Another day stuck in, hoping for a walk tomorrow supposed to be dry! Getting stir crazy, might venture out for half an hour at least the wind has dropped. Have a special Sunday everyone. 🙂
