Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, a 9.2 for me today. I resisted the eccles cake yesterday. Might start my packing for America today.
 
10 this morning which is progress from 18.7 yesterday.
Do Amoxycillin antibiotics affect BG? Trying to work out what’s changed and why I’m needing industrial doses of insulin at the moment 🙄
Wishing you all a great Sunday, I’m venturing out later in gale force winds to video daughter doing Dressage. Should be interesting!
 
Good morning all. Another 6.9 for me this morning. I am supposed to be going out for breakfast with my husband and in-laws this morning then onto the local Hollywood Bowl to play pool (the in-laws are both too decrepit to bowl apparently) and play in the arcades. I’ve suggested hubby and I stay on after to bowl on our own.

It’s blowing a gale outside and I haven’t slept too well. Any chance I can stay home instead?!??

Hello Hazel. Nice to see you back. Hope you are feeling better
 
Yay!:D Just tested after breakfast 08:33 BS 8.5. Within target range!🙂 I thought it might be a bit high after reducing bolus too but, it seems to have been the right thing to do! I love it when I get it right & things go to plan!🙂

I had to order test strips Friday night & I’ll get them on Wednesday: GP won’t get it until Monday & 48 hrs for prescriptions. Realised I hadn’t updated my doses online all Winter & did that saying I’m starting to reduce with the warmer Spring weather & hospital review on 21/03/19. They were then, high figures warning, 20 & 40 units Levemir am/pm & 30, 28 & 26 units Novorapid!😱

I’m now at 18 & 38 units Levemir & had 28 units Novorapid for breakfast. Due to yesterday’s 24 & 20 units Novorapid bringing me down to 4’s so quickly after meals I reduced the midday Levemir, that left me a tiddy bit higher this morning. My plan for the day is 38 units Levemir at midday, 24 & 20 units Novorapid for lunch & dinner & see how it goes? But, as always, plans CAN go out the window!🙄

I’ll rely on the meter to tell me when as I start on a Spring campaign of lowering my insulin doses!🙂
 
Thanks Lanny
 
Been lurking, catching uo
Not 100% but working on it
Keep working on it, @Hazel...nice to see your smiling face.🙂

Morning all.🙂 7.1 on the Libre today - and a whopping 2-hour lie-in, quite an achievement for me!😛

Bit windy out there.:confused: The two giant yukka / palm trees in the garden are flapping around like nobody’s business...I think they may have come down (or lose a couple of metres off the top at least). Where’s that chain saw...?🙄
 
Morning all on this snowy morning, big, thick flakes. A disappointing Len Goodman this morning. SEVEN!! Might have been the mint KitKat at 10.30 last night. 😳 I’m weak! Just had a full English, delicious, that’s me until tea time, maybe. 😉 Have a good day everyone and stay safe.
 
Yipee, wish I could put lots of pictures on. 5.2 for me this morning, and now going back to sleep.have a good Sunday all.
Woo hoo! Well done Carol, oh and you’re dumped as my friend, I’ve never had a HS! 😛

I will share with you. Mostly down to walk and bed at 8pm so mouth not eating lol
 
Good morning all🙂

Most of the night I was steady in range, but had a lie in as a consequence of yesterday’s slow torture at Ewood Park, so the DP took me up to 10.2 before I lurched out of bed at 11.15.

Correction plus Levemir will put that right for an afternoon slobbing around watching footie on the iPad and reading the Sunday papers. That’s what I call a good day. Limited horizons, I suppose, but I don’t care🙂

Don’t know what we’re eating tonight, depends on what inspiration I get from unpacking the Tesco delivery later on today. See what I forgot to order.:D

Have a good day everyone, even those climbing back on to horses.:confused:

Good to see you back, Hazel, always nice to hear the view from the Democratic Republic of East Kilbride, and see your happy smiling face🙂

(That will score 100 on Pointless, I made it up:D)
 
Good afternoon all, my BS this morning was 6.9 . Quite unexpected as I had to take extra insulin last night as BS was around 19 before going to bed. I thought I had counted my carbs correctly last night & taken the correct amount of insulin. As you all know you can do what your supposed to do but sometimes your body doesn't want to respond as it should. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday .
