Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all and 4.2 for me and allegedly in the red all night. A more respectable 5.3/5.4 after feeding the cats.

Grass should be dry enough to cut this weekend before it turns into a hay meadow.

Have a good day everyone.

Ditto to 6.8 for me.

Didn’t sleep well again. Preparing a different breakfast today although it could be a diasterb Baked oats. I don’t line porridge but I’m hoping this recipe works...taste wise and BS wise.

Going to head out later and might take a walk once I’ve done my essentials.
 
Good morning everyone, my bs was 8 this morning. For me that’s good . Only 11 days to go until I receive my Accu-Chek Insight pump . Enjoy your Saturday.
 
Good morning 6.8 on another sunny day.🙂 Absent yesterday early at hospital Neurology for balance exercises and Physio,🙄 right leg, foot & hip gave me grief all night.:(

Hope everyone has a great Saturday, take care.🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

Back to normal for me, 6.6 on waking, nice straight line overnight. Nothing exciting. I’m assuming the Diabetes Fairy, like politicians, doesn’t work weekends. :D

Today is a relaxing day, watching sport - Rovers don’t have a home game this weekend - saving my energy for tomorrow. Mother’s Day meal at the Shireburn Arms. This was arranged by Son-in-Law, which means I’ll be paying.:confused: My guess is that it will be packed, so it might be tricky with the wheelchair. The Shireburn is in Hurst Green, a hop and a spit from Stoneyhurst School, which is one of the schools where posh English Catholics send their kids. Run by Jesuits, so bells, smells, buggery and the lash. £30,000 a year boarding. Excellent school, of course.😎

Anyway, have a grand day, folks, enjoy the Spring🙂
 
DF is here with me. Woke on 6.8, skyr for breakfast (plain, homemade) with 6 small blueberries. Salad for lunch with 2 Finncrisp @ 3.8g carbs each. Currently cruising at 17.8 😡
 
You need to be on insulin if you are so sensitive to micro amounts of carbs, Madeline. I know I’ve said that before, but I can’t understand how your doctors can’t see that. You’d have the freedom for a few chips if you were, and a bit of Easter Egg.

I keep asking, and getting rebuffed. I have no damn life as it is, it’s thoroughly miserable living on veg and protein

What is the reason given to you for their refusal?

That I will put weight on. Exactly the opposite is happening atm. If I eat VLCHF my weight is steady, as soon as I add carbs in, I lose. I lost 2kg in the first half of last week eating all the carbs on my wee binge.

I’ve also looked up my HbA1C conversion from my BG average and it’s gone to 84, which up from 58 at the last test. That’s the all time average since I started testing right at the beginning, so I suspect it’s probably higher in reality.
 
Evenin' all. 8.5 @ 8.28am when I could get any blood out! So not exactly a waking reading. 🙄

Madeline that is a nightmare. :(

Flipping heck Madeline what`s going on, you deserve better than that. Insulin please. 😡

Even though I appear to be up an hour later than usual, I don't feel the benefit - wonder why? 😱 😉

Ok that confused me 🙂

It’s a straight 7 this morning. Somehow I’d expected to be lower, what with getting up an hour earlier sneaked in.
 
Morning all. 7.3 this morning. Restless night and woken up with an nice headache.

I want to hide away today.
 
10:03 BS 7.2. Sigh!:( I am feeling rough & absolutely stuffed this morning! So, had usual half oatcake & half breakfast dose which is now 8 units Novorapid.🙄

WHAT a day I had yesterday! My plan to reduce wasn’t enough & I need to reduce even more! Ended up going low before & after dinner but, not hypo, & eating chocolate, for a change from the usual oatcake biscuits, to keep my BS up after still too much midday basal Levemir: had an instinct after the last few days & went lower than the planned 36 to 34 units; still too much!😱

And all this with reducing my bolus Novorapid doses too; more than halved the daily Novorapid doses from 28, 24 & 20 to 16, 12 & 6, because of low BS, yesterday & I think they’re about right as my BS is just slighly higher than target ranges 90 mins. after! Once I get the midday Levemir right the dinner dose may go up to 8 units.🙄

I’ve decided to go a bit more drastic today & will wait until 12:30 today, clocks going forward, to have 28 units Levemir: I’d rather that be too little & have my BS rise after active Novorapid; less nerve racking to slowly raise dose from there until BS holds steady. But, as with all plans, may go out the window?🙄

Incidentally, no problems with midnight Levemir &, I’d forgotten to mention till now, the doctor told me to increase it to 22 units to get my morning figures down. I morning figures have indeed been better & this morning’s rise is due to the chocolate: overdid by eating 2 squares of chocolate Turkish Delight bar!😳

Aww!😛 And as if it were planned, to greet me this morning at the start of British Summer Time is an absolutely gorgeously super bright sunshiny day!:D Only thing that’s missing is birdsong but, I missed the birdies today getting up so late: need to get up earlier to catch the birdie chorus!😉

I wish you all a WONDERFUL Day full of bright, bright sunshine!:D😎 Have an easy, lazy Sunday folks!😉

Edited to add:-* Hey! Just noticed I’ve cheered up a bit & don’t feel rough anymore!:D
