Group 7-day waking average?

08:45 BS 7.9. Bit higher after my a hypo yesterday.😳

Iafter 2 days of vegetable soup I had a battered fish fillet with steamed veg for lunch & my usual insulin doses were far too much & I spent the next few hours trying to keep my BS up. I didnt throw out everything before my change of diet as there was too much. Threw out all the eggs & diary, cheese & butter but, I’m going to eat the rest slowly with an odd meal here & there, not buying anymore when I eventually finish them: 2 battered fish fillets, 4 beef steaks & 1 lamb steak in the freezer.

On vegetable soup I had to cut my bolus doses almost by half & went back onto the full lunch dose of 24 units Novorapid for the battered fish & a hypo 94 mins. after caught me by surprise. Eventually got my BS up & staying up after a glass of grape juice, 6 biscuits & a jelly baby split into 2 hypo treatments until the 4 hours of active Novorapid were past. Then ate dinner of more vegetable soup & had 2 units less of Novorapid than usual before going to bed.😱o_O

I will be reducing my Novorapid doses by more today. I shall try & call my DSN today, couldn’t get her yesterday, for more advice as my new diet clearly dosen’t need as much bolus!🙄

Yesterday was a lovely day of bright sunshine & today it’s back to grey but, will hopefully brighten up! Have a great day folks!😉

Good morning folks , it’s another sunny day here. The birdies were singing their little hearts out earlier and the pair of house sparrows nesting in our bird box are zipping in and out with food. We’ve plenty of tree sparrows here but only a few house sparrows.

Woke up to 5.5 on the finger. Feel as though I am fighting something off , very tired with a muzzy head and a slightly runny nose, another mug of coffee should help sort that out lol .

Hope you all have a good day. I am hoping to soak up some vit D later.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

Bright morning here, with a bit a cloud. Woke on 7.2 with no ups or downs in the night, so not perfect, not bad, just like me:D

Went down into the village for a few bits and pieces yesterday afternoon, so I was a bit stiff waking up. Woke up lying on my back with the left leg flexed - and stuck. Not to worry, like Popeye eating his Spinach, used a bit of CBD oil (one of my five a day, it’s vegetable), and read about another murder in the Scandi Noir novel I’m reading. So, straightened out, headed to the coffee machine via the loo. Now back to normal, caffeine levels restored, cannabinoid levels good, vaped nicotine topped up, morning Levemir installed.😎

You will notice that none of those things, apart from the Levemir, are medication. All natural, so must be healthy.:D

Anyway, have a good day using any means at your disposal, and get yourselves some Vit D. 🙂
 
Good morning late today but it was an on the edge 3.9.

I am following @mikeyB’s advice to grow my own Vit D by cleaning my Mums windows outside for her as I’m staying a few days. Luckily for me she lives in a bungalow so not doing any extreme squeegeeing up ladders with my leg in a cast!

Have a good day all 🙂
 
Morning all. A pleasing 6.1 this morning. My lowest ever waking reading. I’ll take that.

Today can sod off thoigh. It’s the consultant appointment at the maternity unit to get the post mortem results for my son. I don’t want to go. Last time I was in that building I had to leave without my baby. I don’t want to hear all the things that were wrong with him. It’s going to open up the wounds that havent healed yet again.

Thank you.

I have an idea that they will blame his death on my undiagnosed diabetes. I won’t forgive myself for unwittingly causing the death of the child I so desperately prayed I would have for all those years. I’m scared in case other things show up that might make it difficult or impossible to have another baby in the future. I’m 39 in July and was hoping that with the levels reduction and weight loss we could try again before it is too late. Everything is against me.

Please don't blame yourself, the human body is very good at disguising problems with blood sugar levels so you couldn't act if you didn't know there was a problem, and it may not have been a factor anyway. I hope that you are able to try again, and be blessed.
 
6.2 for me. Merrymunky, hard day for you today . If you cannot loose sight of the fact that everything that can be learned about last time will make the chances of next time being successful higher, then that might help.

Thoughts with you, @merrymunky All good wishes!
 
Breakfast sent me up to 8.6. Stress maybe? Was hoping that nice 6.1 would set me up well for the day.
 
09:05 BS 5.8.🙂 Yesterday was grey the whole day but, went out for a walk to test myself: walked 3500 steps with lots of stops because of stiffness in the legs & also a bit short of breath. Not wheezing; just short of breath & used the inhaler once! Need to build up the walking again! 😳

Set off after breakfast at 10:22 BS 8.8. Got back 12:30 BS 16.3!😱 Was absolutely exhausted & just in the door when I tested. Had my midday meds, a bit late because of the walk, & basal 40 units Levemir. Wasn’t hungry yet & only ate lunch at 14:48 BS 8.6. :confused: Exercise doubled my BS & then came back down again in the space of 4 hours!😱

It’s absolutely gorgeous bright bright sunshine out there today & I will spend it in the conservatory soaking up the rays! :D Have a wonderful day folks! 😉
 
Morning

3.1 today which sucks. Also surprising as was 8.2 at 2am.... hey ho. Another day another child with a sickness bug!
 
Good morning 4.7 on another lovely day.🙂 Been awol for a few days, hospital every day this week Neuro/Physio exercises trying to strengthen lower limbs and address balance issues, knackered or what.🙄

Dear @merrymunky feeling for you, hope you can have some closure, {{{HUGS}}}.

Have a great day folks, be kind to everyone especially yourselves.🙂
 
@merrymunky much love to you, will be thinking of you, lovely x

4.3, had breakfast 5.6. Feel v shaky and lightheaded today, spoken to DSN who is just baffled, left message for GP as matter of courtesy. Maybe I just don’t get on with Metformin and the blood tests are throwing everything out
