Group 7-day waking average?

Morning. Sorry I missed my slot yesterday, I had a lie in which isn’t like me at all. Then again this morning, 9 o’clock! I think my holiday is catching up with me! Well, it was a pretty normal 6.8 this morning, was at the vampire’s yesterday, BP fine, feet fine, 1 kg heavier than last year, have just come back from 9 days of full on eating and drinking, so not too bothered about that. Back for review on 3rd May but should get my results before that. This is my first yearly review, always had 6 monthly since diagnosis but because of my good control and understanding they told me yearly would be fine from now on. Fingers crossed. Have a great Saturday, it’s lovely and sunny here, stripped the bed and going to hang it out. #excited :D
 
Good morning 5.3, still 5.3 at 10:30.🙂 Pain killers not doing a lot getting used to it now, off to the local watering hole for lunch and NovoRapid.:D

@Madeline yes being spoilt at the moment.🙂

@Northerner, @Ljc, @nonethewiser, yes I agree a Libre is the way to go, will speak again with DSN on Monday about it.🙄

Take care folks and have a good day.🙂
 
Morning all late on parade with a 4.7 .Met a German T1 last night/this morning who is going to be getting the Libre2 soon. Hopefully he's going to let me know how he gets on.

Gig tonight and fly home tomorrow

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good afternoon, very late on parade today, internet up the creek with the buffering wheel whizzing round. It was a 5.5 way back when 🙂

Lovely House Spesh @Grannylorraine , always makes me smile seeing a 5.2🙂

Have a good rest of Saturday everyone. 🙂
 
Hi all, was at 8.9 this morning. I was helping out at the brewery this morning for the spring open day, hence the late post.
 
I won’t even bother to take a waking reading today since I’ve been awake on the sofa all night waiting for a call back from 111. I’ve not been well for a week now but the last day or so has been bad. Definitely think I need to see someone so phoned at 1am. They agree I need to be seen. Still waiting for the call back. I’m in pain. I think this is more than cystitis and probably an infection. My whole abdomen is so painful on top of the other symptoms.
 
Morning folks.🙂 A 10.0 on the Libre - what on EARTH was in last night’s curry?!😱🙄

Off to North Pembrokeshire (once hubby crawls out of pit) for a walk on the beach, lunch and to look at some ruins...can’t wait (get up, lazy bones!).😛

Hope you got that call back @merrymunky...

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad, do you not have a walkin centre you can go to. Please check your blood though as mine went crazy when I had a urine infection. Hope you get this sorted soon.
 
Good morning. I have not read any posts yet I will cat up later , so I hope all is well with you.

Forgot my Insulatard (basal) yesterday hence waking to 7.2 on the finger and my fab sensor said 6.8 .

Sorry to hear your not well and in pain. Do you have a walk in centre or a minor injuries unit near you, if so I’d go to them failing that I would go to A & E personally I wouldn’t wait any longer for 111 to call you back.
 
Morning all, a 9.1 for me today.
Busy day ahead. Drop cat off for her holiday at Cherry tree cattery. Sort hand luggage. Check through paperwork. Check I've packed everything. General tidy up.
 
Good morning all, 15.6 for me this morning 😱. I engaged in light exercise before having a shower last night. When I was getting ready for bed I checked my bs and it was 8. I usually find having a shower lowers my bs. I ate 1 slice of wheaten bread with jam thinly spread on it. Didn’t expect my bs to be 15.6 this morning??

They eventually called back with an appointment for 10.30. I’d finally fallen asleep. Woke up to the call and the pain is all but gone. I took two paracetamol after calling them back myself earlier this morning as the pain was so bad. How does it just vanish? They’d reassessed me and bumped me up the list. It still took a good three hours for them to call back. I’m still going to go though as I think I still need antibiotics. Just feel like I’m going in wasting their time now that I’m not in agony like I was.

I just tested. 8.1. No surprise after all this.
 
@merrymunky, I’m so sorry you are feeling so poorly lovely, and agree with the others - pretty sure 111 are going to pack you off to A&E or a walk in centre as you sound like you need heavy duty pain relief at the very least, and probably antibiotics. It’s a good time of day to go, the drunks will have been cleared through by now. And yes, definitely test, and don’t forget to tell them you’re diabetic when you get there. Much love and gentle hugs x
