Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A 8.9 for me this morning, can’t imagine it was anything to do with the half dozen or so Celebrations I had last night whilst wrapping presents or the slice of Burgen toast I had at 4 o’clock this morning when I couldn’t sleep! I went to bed on a 12.7, did a one and a half unit correction and at 3am I was 6.9, my New Year resolution is to sort out my basal ( and stop eating Celebrations). 😉

I had the “chocolates” the night before last, but talked myself out of it. Quite proud of myself, but never talked myself out of the apple crumble and custard last night when out for tea and family meet-up. Wimped out and went to baby changing room to do insulin.

11.4 for me this morning but not too bad after veg lasagna and garlic bread plus pudding
 
Good morning elves🙂

That Northie has let the DF loose. I’m going to ring the RSPCF.😡

Went to bed last night smug as a bug with a nice steady 7.1, woke up on 3.2 (bleed 3.6) and in the red zone most of the night. Straight line, mind. Last insulin taken at 9pm. If that isn’t the work of the Diabetes Fairy don’t know what is.

Good excuse for a couple of chocolate digestives with the Americano, mind. Could get used to this.🙂

Anyway, good day today. Ordered a nice new iPhone XR yesterday, arriving today, so I might change my Avatar to a selfie with all the wrinkles auto smoothed out. I’ll be challenging the facial recognition unlocking with and without reading glasses.😎

Well, a man’s gotta have some fun. Specially a Blackburn Rovers supporter.🙄

Have a good day everyone, but if you don’t, tomorrow is another day🙂
 
A self induced 7.6 this morning caused by a bout of amnesia yesterday (I forgot I had diabetes) 🙄

However I’ve had little appetite lately with this rotten cold and chest infection so I was maybe making up for lost time.
Taking hubbie to dental surgeon later to discuss taking out his very awkward impacted wisdom tooth! Triple ouch! 😱
 
Good morning 2.4 at 06:30 😳, 2 Gluco Tabs, 4 JB`s still not above 3 half hour later. Two digestive biscuits and an hour later back up to 7 🙂.
Parcel arrived yesterday neighbour took it in box damaged, opened it up this morning contents destroyed a present from my grandchildren, wonder which part of FRAGILE the P.O. doesn`t understand 😡.

Hope everyone had a good day yesterday I was A.W.O.L.

Take care all 🙂.
 
Oh dear, I was a difficult patient this morning!🙄 I THOUGHT I drank plenty of water, 1.5 litre bottle from 5am to 9:45am before waiting for blood tests at 10am. Didn’t get to the front of the queue until 11am & all the water had gone! SO dehydrated that it took 2 nurses, 2 goes with the blood pressure cuff on each arm before getting blood from me! Felt so lightheaded afterwards I was sipping cold water from the cooler & resting in the waiting room before taking a taxi back home! Where did all the water I drank go?😱 But, I count myself lucky that it didn’t have to be from the back of my hand: EXTREMELY ouchy if you’ve ever had to resort that!!!:(

But, it’s done & I’m now tucking into reheated tesco finest mash potato & a bit of a headache: blood pressure cuff on for so long!😱 Awww! The ultimate comfort food, for me, is rich & creamy mash potato!😛

You’re going to have to explain that one slowly and carefully to me, in as simple terms as possible.
 
The DF -Diabetes Fairy- looks like thisIMG_0285.JPG
and is solely responsible for all the challenges that we face with diabetes and blood sugar control. She thinks she knows best and occasionally when her actions are getting too out of hand she is sent out by Northerner on a Continuing Professional Development course to see the realities of her dabbling by staying amongst us. This was her sharing a bun and a few choice words from me a few years back.

The RSPCF I presume is the prevention of cruelty to fairies which may be the wrong group to contact - more likely to need the RSCF ! 😉

Hope that's all perfectly clear now 😉🙂
 
She looks remarkably like me 😱

Totally clear, so she’s a bit of a pest fairy then, and I should pray she steers clear of our house at Christmas.
 
Morning you lazy lot! Where are you? I’m not usually first up but got restless legs and seasonal insomnia so up at 5.30. It was worth it for a 5.6 though! Have a fab “five sleeps before Christmas” day. 🙂
 
05:18 BS 7.4. Ok after heading off 2 near hypos yesterday despite further dialing back of insulin: antibiotics definitely working! Dialed up the breakfast dose yesterday because of the BS 11.8 & 32 units of Novorapid, up from the previous day of 28. Then back down to 28 units at lunch which led to BS 4.9 after lunch & ate a snack. So, 24 units at dinner which led to BS 4.6 after dinner & another snack just before bed. Hopping on my toes emoji!

I think I’ll have 22 units now for breakfast & see how the rest of the day goes!🙄 I told the GP the other day how much insulin I had been using 50 units in total of Levemir split into 14 at midnight & 36 at midday & 36 units of Novorapid when I ate! And she said I was DEFINITELY cooking something bad inside, her words, with THAT amount of insulin: 2.5 times my usual amount! I got used to feeling poorly & lost track of how bad I got because I was reluctant to see the GP earlier! My practice has changed to triaging all appointments before deciding to see anyone & I didn’t think I was THAT bad! I’ve learnt from this & act quicker now when doses are creeping up!😱

Thanks to @Madeline for bringing up the question about @mikeyB comments about the DF which led to @Northerner posting the link to his blog! Spent the day, in between eating, testing & snacking, to head off hypos, I laughed so much at the antics of this little fiary! 😛:D😱😎

I have been learning from all the diverse posters on these forums & their various differences about the different types of diabeties anyway but, despite the obvious humour, the blog REALLY showed the daily lifes & challenges of the people she visited! Many thanks to all the people that let this little fiary visit them that gave me a close up glimpse of their daily diabetic journey!🙂 You’re all GREAT sports! Clapping hands emoji!

Feeling MUCH better today! VERY bright & almost sunny on the inside!🙂 Let it be bright sunshine for all of you on the inside & it can blow more gales outside that won’t affect you on the inside!🙂:D😎
