Group 7-day waking average?

Ljc said:
Good afternoon folks. I did wake up early this morning honest.
Was very happy to find 5.3 on meter and my newish sensor has at last decided to behave and gave me 5.6 🙂

However I put one foot in the idiots club today, seems I am not alone :D
Around 05 00 I Jabbed in some rapid for brekkie , took my pills, was well in r@nge after brekkie ok so far , well just tested and found a Nasty number on the screen 9.4 :( , this irriot had forgotten to do her basal 🙄

I've been very late in doing my midnight Levemir recently: alarm wakes me & I drop back into sleep; waking to find I can't remember if I jabbed or not. I nervously jabbed it in wondering if I'll be firefighting hypos until midday Levemir on the basis of if I can't remember doing it; I probably didn't 🙄

So, got an extra Timesulin cap for the basal, as well the one for bolus, since the one year battery will be up soon on the Novorapid pen!🙄

Would that help you?🙄
 
It’s easy done isn’t it.

Sadly it wouldn’t help prevent me doing that , I have Novo Echo pens for both my insulin’s , they have a basic timer and last dose indicator.
 
Good evening all, my BS was 13.7 this morning. Hopefully my BS tomorrow morning will be better .

Not alone Lin you just reminded me to take my night time Basal.🙄
 
Oops! I did it again! Was SO deeply asleep when the midnight alarm went off that I dropped back into sleep almost instantly. Next thing I know it’s past 01:30 & at least with the Timesulin cap on I know for definite that I didn’t take the Levemir yet! Just taken it & will go back for another snooze!

Edited ro add* not quite as late as I thought: still a bit blurry eyed as I looked at the watch again & it’s just coming up to 1am; must have been after 00:30 that I took the Levemir. One night it was after 3am & I REALLY struggled to remember if I’d jabbed or not!😱

😱:D 04:20 BS 5.2. Yippee!😛:D Only the second House Special I’ve had in a year of being on this forum! I’m ESTACTIC!😛:D😎🙂😉 I’ve forgooten what it’s like to wake with a DECENT BS. The Diabetes Fiary is STILL being nice to me!🙂

I went to bed on BS 5.1 just before 9pm, 20:59 2 hours after dinner & had half an oatcake as that’s a bit low for me to go to bed on.🙄 Seems I judged it just right!🙂

I know it’s a bit late for my lowering BS to make any difference to the blood tests on Monday for my diabetic review at the hospital on 21/03/18: only got app. yesterday!😱 I’m expecting a rise from the 60 I had in September due to illness & injury this Winter. But, it’s a boost to the confidence that I CAN get to work on getting blood sugars down now that the warmer Spring weather is here again!🙂 I have just under 2 weeks to record decent, within target ranges, figures!🙄

I’m skipping off to breakfast again this morning!:D It’s the weekend folks & I wish you all a WONDERFUL day full of SUPER bright sunshine on the inside!😉

Don’t worry about your Hb1ac, they may h@ve gone up a bit, if so just treat them as a baseline to work from.
 
Good morning folks .

Hope you all h@ve a good day

Aw! Thanks, @Ljc 😛:D😎

I’m feeling a lot more relaxed about it now!😉 It’ll be what it’ll be & it will be that bit lower by the time I see the team! I just have to get through seeing the doctor first. I never know who it’ll be & what their bedside manner is like! My hospital team of DSN, a new nurse now as the other has moved to ICU & dietician ate lovely! THEY are much more clued up about my diabetes management that the consultant, whoever it is, who only sees me for the odd apointment!😱🙄
 
When it comes to that appointment, I am sure we can come up with a few ideas if Docs bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired.
 
Morning all. 6.9 this morning. Don’t know what I’m doing today but hope everyone has a splendid day ahead.
 
7.2 this morning. Woken by a very early, and very cheerful postman delivering my new plant, a ponytail palm. It’s now having a drink in the kitchen sink, and I’ve gone back to bed with a coffee and a shake. Cabbage seeds to plant today, and a Midsomer Murders to watch this afternoon, series 20 starts tomorrow.
 
Morning all.🙂 9.9 here...snot 🙄 my fault, honest LOL.😛

Sun...clouds...sun...clouds...make your mind up weather!:confused:

A🙂 to encourage you, @Bloden🙂 Chin up! I KNOW how demoralising it is to get high numbers, also erratic, with the changing weather! The warmer Spring weather IS on the way & will reach you, eventually, at SOME stage!😉🙄 Who knows, we might even get a heat wave like last year & everybody’s BS’s will be brilliant, needing reduction in meds!🙄:D😛😎

Well done on HS Lanny.
 
Good morning. Cold but sunny here.

6.7 for me, so pleased with that. Going for a looooong walk this afternoon so will no doubt up the distance. Seeing bits of Leven and surrounds that never seen before, plus lots of mud and glore. And lots of chatter.

I have been catching up on posts, and don’t quite understand the phrase “eat to feed the insulin”. Think I am a bit dense. I will have a good lunch before I go out, so hopefully no hypo this time.

Have a good day all.
 
Good morning all, my BS was 7.3 this morning . Hope you all have a great day .
