Group 7-day waking average?

[Robin]

Morning all, managed to catch my BG at 5.5 this morning, because I woke 10 minutes before the alarm. 20 mins later and it’s 6.1. Libre sensor ends tomorrow, I'll miss it, it’s been a good one.

 

[Bloden]

Morning all.🙂 5.0 on the Libre.😛

Still windy, I see.

Where d’you live, @eggyg? Sounds like your getting ALL the weather at the mo. 🙄😱

 

[Stitch147]

Morning all, a 9.3 for me today. Off to London in a while to meet up with one of my old TfL friends for lunch and a catch up.

 

[merrymunky]

Morning all. 6.9 for me. Got my diabetic dietician appointment today. Hoping to tell them to leave to it as I’ve lost almost 1.5 stone since January!

 

[Paul123]

Good morning all, 4.7 this morning. Have a great day.

I live in North Cumbria, it’s still blowing a hoolie this morning! Apparently Cumbria had the highest wind speeds on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning. We have been fine, we live on a hill, but the rivers are very full and fields are flooded. The only damage we suffered was a bit of my rosemary bush got torn off!

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Morning all a 4.2 for me today, hope you all have a good day 🙂

 

[eggyg]

Morning all, Gareth still raging up here, albeit not quite as wet as it has been. A surprisingly normal 6.5 this morning. Surprising because for the first time ever I forgot to take my evening basal! I took my BGs at bedtime 7.8, realised I had run out of needles in my everyday diabetes bag, retrieved some from my stock, emptied them into aforementioned bag and then got distracted! I woke up through the night and remembered but didn’t do anything about it, so does this mean I am “ cured”? Is it going to hit me today? So many questions, any thoughts anyone? 😎

 

[mikeyB]

Good morning everyone🙂

Still windy and damp here. I had a Robin style “washing line” last night, a brief dip down to around 4 middle of the night, then a drift back up to a waking 6.9. Neat.🙂

Trouble is, getting vertical, going to the loo, and getting to the coffee machine got me up to 8.1. Triple shot Americano, vape, and morning Levemir, then review in an hour. Ho hum. Gimme a pump.

This will be another afternoon hunkered down watching the racing, but there are worse things to do. Don’t much fancy a trip out, for sure, even though the scooter is hefty. So are slab sided big lorries.



That’s the MikeyB machine, except mine is silver. Don’t think it’s been wind tunnel tested - certainly not with me aboard

Pretty cool, though.😎

Have a good day everyone, take care, and watch out for horizontal trees🙂

Good morning a very welcome 6.8 after a cannula failure and hyper and rage bolus hypo last evening. Max 28.9 min 2.0 hhm that's most bases covered! 🙄 Insulin just takes that bit too long to work when bg is very high and I knew I shouldn't correct again but guess what - I did.

watched the Wednesday afternoon of the Cheltenham Festival. (This is why Ireland is currently deserted).

This is why Cheltenham is not deserted! Town is the most mad place with every kind of racegoer, people wearing horses heads, dressed as jockeys and rather a lot of completely blotto people by breakfast time. I love the touts who've been moved along and as you walk past quietly ask if you want to buy a ticket for the Gold Cup. It does make town very amusing but very busy!

Have a good day everyone.🙂

Oh dear, @Flower !😡

That happened to me too on a smaller scale yesterday! Hadn’t shared it in my post this morning, a little embarrassed, but, will share it now in sympathy!🙄😳

Because of fasting blood tests yesterday I ended up on BS 13 by the the time I was finished & got to eat breakfast. I bolused an extra 4 units from 28 to 32 units. I forgot to test after but, by the next meal my BS was 8.0 3.5 hours later. I’m always hungry faster than usual if I’ve been fasting as there’s a bigger hole to fill, as it were, created by the fast! So, I needed to increase bolus AGAIN for 2 reasons:- 1. Before meal BS is higher & 2. It’s less than 4 hours after the last meal. So, I added 4 units again to my dose of 26, total of 30 units Novorapid. 1.5 hours later my heart was racing & tested BS 4.5, had coke & ate another little meal before going to bed!🙄 It’s probably why I woke with a 7 today, when I woke with a 5 yesterday, as I think I overtreated the hypo: ok technically not a hypo yet but, it eould have been if I hadn’t caught in time & I ‘d already felt it!

 

[KARNAK]

Good morning 10.2 after getting out of hospital yesterday.🙄 Went to hospital on Monday for the Consultant to look at the ulcers in my mouth, 45 minutes later on my way to the intake ward. Put on a couple of drips overnight and was told they would have to remove said ulcers especially the one on my tongue😎. Next morning they took me down for the knife and under local anaesthetic removed them, sent them for biopsy and me back to the ward with a mouthful of stitches. Back on drips good job I carry plenty of insulin on me although they tested my BSLs every hour,🙂 kept me in Tuesday and sent me home yesterday after seeing Consultant. Still none the wiser said they would call me with results.

Glad you all survived Gareth I didn`t see much of it.🙂

Nice to see you back @Northerner.🙂

Nice truck @mikeyB.😎

Have good day all, take care.🙂

Sorry to hear this KARNAK. How long will it be for the results. Is it a soft diet meantime?

 

[KARNAK]

Thanks Carol, definitely very soft diet. Had a letter 10 minutes ago confirming the procedure and have made another appointment to see the consultant on Monday.

That’s quick then. Good luck

Afternoon all. Late on parade due to wanting to get at the head of the queue for the vampires on the way to work. 4.6 for me

I hope the day is treating you well so far.

Oh lovely, you poor old sausage. Take care, poor sore mouth.

Gareth still rampaging here, utterly fed up with it as I don’t sleep much/well when it’s windy. DSN rand this morning and I’ve emailed screenshots of my BG log to show the consultant. Flatly refused to take their shakes. It’s really very obvious when I’m having the shakes.

Oh and I woke on 5.8.

 

[KARNAK]

That’s quick then. Good luck

Thanks again Carol, I think I`ll need the luck, but spirits are high.🙂

Oh lovely, you poor old sausage. Take care, poor sore mouth.

Yes Madeline thank you for your concern.🙂 Nice morning BGL keep it up.😎

 

[Lanny]

Moaning warning!

04:22 BS 8.6. On the rise again! Still stormy & my shoulder was killing me so, caved in & had some painkillers, arnica & a heat patch. Managed to sleep but, restlessly as I still felt the discomfort while asleep!

I HATE admitting defeat but, I have to face it! The shoulder is too much for me to handle & it’s impacting on my diabetes management! I need an injection! I put my hair in an alice band when going out on Wednesday as it hurt too much to put up my hair!😱

Oh, drat! Today is Friday & the phone pile up at the health centre is at its worse on Mondays & Fridays. But, I might not NEED to see the GP just a referral to the hospital for an injection, easiest most direct route, or referred back to physio who can also refer me to the hospital. I can hardly do any physio exercises now & I know from the last injury, once that happens ONLY an injection can help!

I just hope it’s as fast as possible as it’ll be a case of pain management: watching the amount of painkillers taken!

Crikey!😱 This post is full of MOST unlike me!😱

I will prop up my chin, 😳, to wish you all a VERY early good morning & a MUCH better day than me!🙂

 

[khskel]

Morning all and a 6.7 for me.

Chin up indeed @Lanny

Have a good day everyone.
