Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning last minute shoppers🙂

I woke up on 6.2, which is neat and tidy. Took me a while to start moving after a really good day yesterday. Oh well, never mind. Ups and downs.

My ridiculous new phone is now fully operational, talking to my watch, which is annoying me because it won’t accept the Spike app for Miaomiao. So anybody with any experience of switching off the no certification lock on an Apple Watch, let me know. The watch, of course, has far more computing power than the Voyager 2 probe which has now left the solar system and is hurtling into interstellar space. And still sending signals. Amazing what you can do with a bit of Meccano and a ZX81.🙂

Anyway, good luck Northie for the eye appointment, and well done Karnak. That’s the diabetes sorted, just get everything else right in the Whack-a-Mole game of life.🙄

Have a good day, everyone, watch out for the Diabetes Fairy while Northie is out of the house:D

That new “ gadget” isn’t controlling any drones in the south of the country is it? 😉

Whoa Carol, that’s amazing, that’s lower than mine today! But maybe you didn’t have 2 slices of sticky, gooey, delicious, stick in your back teeth fruit malt loaf before bed! 😉

Oh you have me drooling at the thought
 
Good morning 🙂 7.8 for me today, after (another!) 2.6 night hypo last night and lots of furious jelly baby consumption 😱 What intrigues me is that a) I woke up, knowing that my brain was not functioning correctly - how can a part of your brain be rational enough to 'know' that, overall, it's having problems? :confused: And b) Why am I having night hypos when I don't use basal insulin? 😱 Grrr! 😡

Ah well, I survived! Also survived the Eye Hospital - still teetering on the edge of the point where I will need injections, but good news is that my right eye is 'dry' with no signs of the macular oedema affecting my left eye 🙂 Downside with the right eye is that the pressure is slightly higher than it should be, yet left eye is fine! 🙄

It took forever to recover from the drops last evening, took about 7-8 hours before I could focus properly, they must have been industrial strength! 😱

My advice is to get your Christmas shopping done today whilst it is quiet, as it will probably be quite busy on Monday... 😉

Hope you are better today northie
I think it is weird how that brain body connection works when hypo land. I tested before tea last night and suprised to see 3.6.:brain kicked in but fuddled.i sort of wanted to ignore how I was feeling, but knew I couldn’t and felt a bit irritated that I had to try to make my tea as well. Btw, the green jb was my friend.
It also was a wake up call for my son as he phoned for help as couldn’t get in his house. He had to wait till I could drive
 
Oops 13.1 this morning. Nothing to do with fall from grace last night and chocolate. Nor the temper when I saw that my Xmas wreath on front door had been stolen.i wish them a merry Xmas
 
Good morning folks . Not read any posts yet, so I hope all is well with everybody.
Woke up to 6.2 with a slanted up arrow.
 
10.6 for me this morning. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle at the moment my insulin requirements are just so high.

I've always needed quite a bit of insulin I suppose but my ratio was about 2units for every 10g carbs. I've been taking 3 units for 10 and even with that my bloods are still rising.

Just getting frustrated with it and I dread eating at the moment :(

Horrible little ***********😡😡😡

8.6 for me. No idea why, fish and green vegetables for dinner at 7pm
 
09:47 BS 7.7. Had a good snooze & a lie in this morning! Yesterday’s readings were all sub 11 so, sruck with 12 units Levemir at midnight & will have 36 units at midday! Will keep the Novorapid at 22 units.🙂

I feel more limber now having done several sets of 5 or 10 of each physio exercise through out the day in berween watching episodes of Dynasties on BBC iPlayer. Will do some this morning & cook breakfast! Will also take out my stuffed chicken from the freezer so, it’s properly defrosted! Despite my big shop on 17/12, I’m starting to run out of food & will roast the chicken on Christmas Eve & eat leftovers on Christmas Day. I’ve mentioned in the past that I eat like pig when I’m ill, unless I have a fever when I don’t eat! Been eating 5 meals a day this week. I actually only ate 4 yesterday!😱 It’s because I’ve not been sleeping well, achey, & it’s been long days for me while awake! Last night was the longest sleep I’ve had in ages!😱🙄

Glad to hear @Northerner your other eye is dry! The wet kind of macular degeneration is horrible! My Dad statred with the wet kind about 25+ years ago in his 60’s & there would be days when the bleeds covered both his eyes for days before receding. Now, 25 years later in his early 90’s it’s the dry kind & he uses his remaining tunnel vision as most of his peripherals are gone. I’m not sure if macular odema is exactly the same thing but, am I right that the blood vessels burst & bleeds cover the eye?

I take a long time to recover from dilating eye drops too! In fact, all eye drops can be problematic for me as they adversely affect my eyes in unexpected ways. My 2nd. eye consultant for my 2nd. cataract op says it’s the perservatives that adversely affect about 20% of the population.

No way Jose, am I facing the crowds towards the last days before Christmas: no need to in this day & age of internet shopping! Adrian Mole’s mantic mad dash to get EVERYTHING on Christmas Eve has never appealed to me: Sue Townsend’s The Diary of Adrian Mole age 13 & 3 quarters!😱:D CRAZY leaving it THAT late!😱🙄

@Carolg, those monsters, grrr!😡 Put next year’s up with a note:- Did you enjoy the one from last year?

Crumbs! I’m very loquacious this morning! Have to get a move on here! Wishing you all bright sunshine on the inside!🙂:D😎
 
Good morning gang🙂

I woke up with a score of 6.2, I think. Who knows?

At the moment, I’m coming to the end of 24 hours without the Libre (sensors should arrive today). Like Northie, I was exploring Santa’s Hypoland last evening before dinner. 3.2 - had the usual three JBs to fix that. A full half hour later, 3.3. Didn’t believe it. Now this isn’t the Libre, remember, it’s the CCG special offer Tee2 reader. Bleed and guess, I think I’ll call it. Anyway, bolussed for the meal, which as it happens needed an extra boost for ice cream. 2 hours after that, and an hour after the evening Levemir, I was told I was 21.2. :confused: Washed my hands, rinsed and dried, 23.8.

Didn’t believe that, either. Not physically possible, I know my body.

So if anybody believes this morning’s 6.2 you must be as mad as I am.:D

After the random number game, the good news is that the days are getting longer, from now on. Even Brexit can’t stop that🙂

Hope Santa brings a decent BG reader. I’ll be down the surgery after all the disruption to have a discussion. I like discussions.😉

Have a good day, everyone🙂
 
Good morning 4.6 on a very warm day even had to turn the heating off 🙂. Couple of toes on left foot decided there is to much blood in them so dumped it into my sock :(, foot clinic on Monday.

Glad nothing too horrendous Northie 🙂, how`s those shins?

Hi @Emma Lowery chin up we are all like it, read @mikeyB,s post.

What can one say @Carolg here`s one nobody can steal, Merry Christmas 🙂.

Take care all 🙂.
 
The wreath will go with the 2 pots of hydrangeas that went at Mother’s Day. Someone’s mum would maybe be happy
