Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks. I am thinking of hibernating today as it’s very chilly with heavy cloud .
Woke up earlier to 4.9 with a bootiful flatfish from c 01 00 .

Have a good day
 
Morning folks. 7.7 this morning. Still ok antibiotics so hoping it’s just meds making my morning a little higher than average again.

It doesn’t worry me too much other than the fact that the dietician mentioned that despitemhoe ‘normal looking’ my averages are at the moment they may put me on a small dose of insulin in the mornings down the line to get the waking numbers even lower in a bid to keep the whole day’s levels down. This is a safety measure for pregnancy planning only but still...
 
Good afternoon folks🙂

Rather late reporting, woke up on 6.2 after a reasonably straight line overnight. Getting out of bed forced that up to 7.00, but it was a bit of a struggle.:confused:

Still, it’s another bright sunny day with a few more clouds than yesterday. Not warm enough for lunch on the balcony, for sure. Fine enough for a trip down to the butcher for something for the weekend. Just the usual deer haunch, suckling pig, and a couple of hares should do it. The leftovers will make a tasty terrine.:D

I notice Julian Assange has been booted out of the Ecuadorian Embassy into the waiting arms of the cops and an American application for deportation to the US. Good, that should be fun when he tells everyone how he connived with Russia to publish Hilary Clinton’s hacked private emails during the election. It’s his fault that Trump got elected, so with a bit of luck he’ll be locked up in far less comfortable accommodation than in Kensington. For a decade or two.🙄

Anyway, have a good day while I go down to get a selection of bits of dead animal. An Atkins weekend:D
 
Good evening folks 4.9 this morning, 3 hypo`s during the day so not feeling great tonight. Congratulations @Grannylorraine on HS,🙂 @mikeyB I see you've gained a new friend, dear of him:D.

Have a good evening folks, just Greek music for me.🙂

Sorry to hear about all the hypos Ted :( I hope things are more settled for you overnight and in the days to come 🙂
 
Evening. 8.3 @ 6.23am.

Got a letter from Specsavers but they're not allowed to do diabetic eye testing at the minute for some reason?
 
Thanks Alan, it seems to becoming a regular thing. I will not have any insulin tonight, I think I will be joining you Bolus only.🙄🙄

Someone I know gave me 2 bottles of glucojuice, which she gets on prescription

Hi Carolg, when I was at the the chemist this afternoon I was informed I can get gluojuice on prescription. I must enquire if my Doctor will add this to my list of items on my prescription list.
 
Good evening all, morning bs was 7.3. This morning I attended my diabetic review and I was well pleased . Hba1c 7.6% or 62 and all other blood tests came back normal. Blood pressure was a bit on the high side, might have to wear a blood pressur cuff for a day or so.

Night all, I hope we all wake tomorrow morning with bs in range .
 
03:44 BS 5.1. 🙂 Very happy with that: just overshot the HS! 😛

Great day of golf yesterday!:D I don’t want to jinx it but, I think Tiger Woods is in with a very good chance of winning another majors title after 10 years: the injuries, 4 back surgeries & the scandal; he’s back in form & charged up the leaderboard & is just one shot off the lead!😛:D😎

A very early good morning to you all!😉 It’s the weekend & I’ll be watching more golf AND the start of the final season of Game of Thrones in the early hours, 02:00, of Monday morning!😛:D Have a wonderful day & weekend folks!😉

Great news Paul! 🙂 Do you perhaps suffer from 'white coat syndrome' with the blood pressure? I most certainly do - it's always higher when the doctor or nurse takes it 🙄 I've got a home blood pressure monitor so I can find out what it really is 🙂

Gosh yes! I’m terrible for this too.

6.1 for me, I’m so happy with the results I’m getting on Gliclazide.

Was browsing last night. Penny dropped from rather a great height, I’m pretty sure I’m late onset - just before I was diagnosed I was v ill, with what initially started out as a summer cold then turned into pneumonia with all the accompanying lung dramatics I’m prone to (minor understatement there). With a rash. I’d always thought enterovirus was an upset stomach thing, but was wrong. I’m now fairly sure that was the initial illness, and with my Dad having been type 1, Im suspicious that’s what’s triggered this in me. It seems too much of a coincidence that I had a respiratory tract infection then developed diabetes when my sugars have been checked regularly for years.

I’ll shut up now, have a fab day all. It’s very quiet here, the youngest Lesser Madeline is in Denmark, so I’m kicking around the house all by myself. I’m already bored😱

Your experience is not dissimilar to mine @Madeline - I caught a stomach virus, thought it would last a few days, but eventually had to give in after 5 days and ended up in A&E and getting diagnosed. The consultant at one of my reviews suspects I had been declining in insulin production prior to this, but the illness pushed my pancreas over the edge 😱 I don't have any family history of diabetes, but since you do it does seem to be a strong possibility you are slow-onset. Good to hear the gliclizide is working for you though, long may it continue 🙂 Something to be raised at your next appointment though, so you can be sure of getting the appropriate treatment in the future 🙂

Spoke to nurse. She said 3-4 jelly babes should be enough for me
