Group 7-day waking average?

Really struggling with high overnight levels during the last fortnight despite continually increasing my basal rates. 5.15 12.7 had a full correction. Woke up at 7am and it was 12.8. At this moment in time I completely hate gastroparesis.

I felt like that too a month or so ago when I still hadn’t found the right basal doses for what I needed: the percentage increases were scaring me! But, my BS numbers were scaring me more! So, I kept doing the basal increases until I got it right! I never thought I would have to go SO much more: 6 & 20 units Levemir am/pm to 20 & 40 units now; that’s what needed to keep my BS in check, most of the time! There’s still the odd painful night when my waking BS is high, like today! Needs must!

I’m shocked to hear my HbA1c has stayed the same as last time, end of Aug. 2018 & I said to my DSN but, that’s on horrifying amounts of insulin! She said ah well, if that’s what you need!

Morning all 4 on the dot for me. I blame the assault course yesterday.

Have a good day everyone.

There was one of those on the course I went on once - I refused to do it because it was about 12 months after I had broken my femur and I refused to do anything that was unnecessary that might cause an injury. Of course, I was made to feel like I wasn't a 'team player', which was fine with me as I'm not! Well, not in silly games, anyway 🙄

Very sorry to hear this Amanda :( I hope things settle down for you soon {{{HUGS}}}
 
Morning all, 6.4 here. Phone just rang with a BT automated text delivery service...a completely blank message. Must be Parcel Farce with my new Libre sensors on their way. Same thing happened last time, so I made sure I updated my Abbot account with my mobile number. Ah well, the wonders of modern technology seem to be defeating them both.

I agree with you Lanny it is scary when you need to keep putting basal sup and up. I’m now on ten units more than I was six weeks ago! I hope that your levels start to even out.
 
Good morning 5.4 today,

Off to the hand clinic today, bets are now being taken on how long before someone points out it's not the foot clinic and I must be in the wrong place o_O Calm thoughts..

I hope you can get things to settle Amanda, what a battle for you x
 
Thank you Flower. Good luck in the hand clinic x
 
Morning all, been absent without leave for a couple of days, no reason just kept forgetting! A 6.5 this morning which is better than the 7s I’ve had the last two days. Staying at home day today, batch cooking to fill my freezer. Soup, spag Bol, chilli, goulash. That should keep us going for a while, better remember to keep something out for tonight’s tea though. Done that before, spent all day cooking, put it in the freezer and had nowt to eat for that day’s meals! Numpty! Good luck to all with appointments etc today. 🙂
 
Morning folks. 6.6 here this morning. A better sleep last night but it still took a long while to drift off.
 
Well! I jinxed myself didn’t I? I counted my chickens before they hatched saying I WILL get an appointment. Said doctor, of the letter, is off on leave this week & I’ll have another doctor call me at home tomorrow! Means I can’t go out tomorrow & the niggling worry continues! I don’t feel like trooping out to face the hordes at the treatment room now. I see what’s what after phone call tomorrow. And my diabetic review at the hospital is the day after that! This is because there was an extra vial of my blood leftover from my tests last week when only 1 vial was taken & I was sent off to drink loads of water for another try. They took another 2 vials just in case the first one had clotted! When tests are sent to the hospital they’re processed there, instead of at the health centre, & they don’t have access to the results: asked the health centre before for them before an earlier review! The health centre must have tested that extra vial because the nurse said “Oh, it hasn’t clotted & we might as well test it too rather than throw it out!”
 
Good morning, a 2.9 for me 😱, duly corrected, but must admit I'm still feeling the after shocks! Headache and a bit shakey.
 
4.9 this morning, libre says I was low most of the night so that accounts for the terrible headache!
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up on 5.4 according to the Libre. Just for fun I did a blood test - 5.7. Take your pick.:D

I’m on my second Americano, I was feeling a bit decaffeinated when I woke. It’s terrible when you have addictions like that. Something should be done. It’ll bring society to its knees.:confused:

On the subject of being brought to your knees, my right leg has decided to play the fool, so I had to cook last night perched on a stool. (That’s 2 points on PIP Daily Living.) Not too bad this morning, I just get worse during the day. Just like a politician:D

Anyway, have a good day, folks. I might have a trip into the village - bit short on milk for tonight’s toad in the hole🙂
 
Good morning 4.3 down to 2.2 at 10 am,😳 just like @Lucy Honeychurch took immediate action, I shall not be needing Basal insulin at this rate.🙄

Hope things calm down for you Amanda, {{{HUGS}}} from too.

Good luck at hand clinic @Flower.🙂

Have good day all.🙂
 
9.4 for me this morning, trotted off for blood tests, and have to go back at 12.20 so they can do the 4+ hours theophylline one. Grrrr.

Got my cholesterol levels back, HDL is 1.8 so I don’t think anyone will be pushing statins at me. Point proven that VLCHF doesn’t affect my results at least:D
