Group 7-day waking average?

7.1 this morning and I have my usual dilemma. Inject for a 7.1 or do extra knowing that at 3pm I will get chemo and 8mg IV steroids.
Think I will do a lower basal and be prepared to hit the Humalog if tea time reading is off the scale.
Have a good day peeps xx

9.7 this morning, but I am not in a good place with either my eating or well being. I have let myself down in a big way and am really struggling to get back on course. I won't go to the DN as I know my HBA1C will have gone up and I have let her down. I have started to get anxiety attacks again which I have not had for years, I suspect these are due to the high blood sugar levels. Currently feeling like I want to spend all day everyday in bed, however do get up, am managing to carry on with life though, just eating too many carbs for months and lots of sugars over the last month. I need to snap out of this malaise that I am feeling.

Sorry you feel like you do, hopefully you will get the help you need and like everyone said you can take small steps to improve your health and well-being. Just think, if you go to the DN now and your Hba is rubbish, you can show a massive improvement when you go next time ... every cloud. Be kind to yourself and can I just say, I find diabetes far more difficult to cope with and manage than cancer. Please don’t underestimate what affect it has on a daily basis but don’t give up on it. Keep on keeping on, for yourself, your family and friends xx
 
Morning all, a bit late today just cos I forgot! A 7.3 this morning. Low all day yesterday, 4s and 5s but can’t get this morning number down. Anyways good news, I am putting my Christmas tree up today, a bit early for me but have friends coming around on Thursday and want it to look festive, plus last year I ended up with the last tree in the shop and it was a bit rubbish. Bought it on Sunday and it’s been sitting in a bucket outside since, under the bird feeder! They love it so much they have ‘ christened’ it for me! Here’s to a tinselly Tuesday. 🙂
 
Morning all, a 9.6 for me today.
The stew i done yesterday must have been good as there was none left for freezing!
 
8.7 for me today, thank you all for your lovely comments on my post yesterday. I am feeling a little bit more positive today, just going to take one day at a time, but your comments all mean a lot to me as you all understand the daily struggles and the impact diabetes has on your life and the need to keep on top of it.
 
Good morning 7.3 been for Eye Screening this morning 🙄, nothing bad showed up🙂.

Thinking of you @Grannylorraine, nobody is judging you especially on this forum. You can only try your best, please take care.

Good luck with chemo @Tickledpinknot.

Hope the physio helps you @wirralass.

Enjoy your day everyone and {{{HUGS}}} to those that need it 🙂.
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke up, or regained consciousness, take your pick, with a rather disreputable 8.9. It doesn’t matter, I know why.

Anyway, got myself a new cleaner. Cheaper, as it happens, and more attractive for sure. That’s not important, these days- what is important is that she said she had a touch of OCD, you need that in a cleaner:D

Still playing with my new smartwatch. I’ve currently got a Mickey Mouse display, with his fingers pointing to the numbers. If I touch the screen, he says “Hi, good morning- it’s 9.50 - have a great day”.

That could get rather wearing.:confused:

Still haven’t put Miaomiao on the watch yet, I need to port the App from iPad to iPhone via the computer, then the rest is easy. The computer is still in a cardboard box from the move in the planned man cave. You can’t pair an iPad with an iWatch, which is a glitch that I think my pals at Apple are addressing.

If life were simple, it would be boring. Have a great day everyone🙂

(Imagine that in a Mickey Mouse voice):D

I said the Hi, good morning bit in Mickey mouse voice in my head! 😳
 
A 6.4 for me which will do in the midst of a hefty chest infection. I’m waking at the moment waiting for my head to catch up so grateful my bg’s are playing fair.

@Grannylorraine, you’ll restore your resolve because you want to. This is an evil season in terms of temptation so don’t be too hard on yourself x

Now if I can breathe for long enough, I might get that Christmas tree up. Is it supposed to be a chore?
 
Good morning!🙂 4.0 here.😛

More hot-gunning and scraping skirting boards again today. And Bloden’s got a general anaesthetic and x-rays to see why she’s been limping. The former’ll take my mind off worrying about the the latter.:D
