Group 7-day waking average?

Hi Guys/Girls a bit late on parade, 2.8 this morning managed to get it up to 4.9 within the hour. Back down to 2.9 a while later,:( done the usually treatments but couldn`t get it above 5.1. Had a relaxing day went to bed for a couple of hours, tested after that 16.8o_O, a couple units of NovoRapid back down to 3.8. I can`t work it out, I know my wrist is broken and very painful but I usually have good control. A bit of @mikeyB`s special oil will not go amiss.🙂 If I have missed anyone out in responding apologies
accepted,:D take care folks night night.
 
Sorry to hear your having such a rough time Ted. Hang in there my friend
 
Sorry to hear you are still having problems @KARNAK , I hope you can get to the bottom of it soon.
Could one of your other meds be lowering your BG levels , perhaps check with your Pharmacist just to make sure. Apologies if you have already done this.

Morning all and another shocking ( for me) 7.5. This seems to be a common occurrence at the moment and I can’t explain why. I was a bit naughty last night and went to bed on a 5.5 without a snack, to see if that would help, obviously it didn’t. So I had a bright idea and wondered if my Levemir had been “ compromised” whilst on holiday. I changed it towards the end of my break, a cartridge lasts about 2 weeks so was due to be changed. This is what I found. Problem solved I hope. Oh and it was all sticky.

Good morning folks. Our elderly washing machine gave up the ghost yesterday, it’s given many years of loyal service and even though it expired yesterday it did it’s best not to leave me in the lurch, it hung on and hung on till the day before it’s replacement is due to arrive , needless to say it’s another B...h

Woke up to 4.6 my graph showed a sudden ^ that settled down very quickly which I was most surprised at as late last night whilst reading in bed I thoroughly enjoyed 3 Lindor truffles and didn’t expect such a swift recovery.

Hope you all have a good day.
 
07:04 BS 6.4. Not waking as I'm just about to go to bed again! Had a wee snooze after watching the golf yesterday before watching GOT at 2am. As @Northerner has requested, no spoilers!😉

I'm dead tired now that all the adrenaline has gone: got so excited watching Tiger Woods win a Major after 11 years since his last one!😱😳 I was on tenterhooks all day & my blood pressure was rising as the last group reached the last hole of Amen Corner, the 12th. Hole, & continued through the 13th. & 14th. Then, after the tee shots on the 15th. I had a massive nosebleed: there are 5 blood vessels meeting inside the nose & I can be prone to blood pressure nosebleeds!😱

I had to take a bathroom break to clean myself up & came back to find Tiger in the lead, at last, & I'd missed it. He went on to win! The whole day I was seeing a whole new Tiger Woods than the one I've been watching since St. Andrews in 2000: he's a lot calmer now & it was really interesting to see him playing his favourite, safe, fade shot off the tee even when the fairway was a dogleg shape going the other way because he was under pressure & he knows he CAN hit that shot; in the past he'd tried a draw & miss it hitting way right!🙄 Rewatched the 15th. Hole that i'd missed afterwards: thank goodness for being able to rewind live TV on the BBC iPlayer!🙄

Just had some breakfast & off for a long snooze now!:confused:

A very good morning to you all & may you be as sunny on the inside as I am!😉
 
Woke up at 4.30am precisely, pondered what to do as I was wide awake. Decided to go with it, tested with a puzzling 9, and had the most ridiculously early breakfast. On second breakfast for meds, and 8.3.

Someone needs to read the DF the rules. There ARE rules, aren’t there? Somewhere?

Yup, I think that would do it! 😱 At least you know why now! 🙂
 
Good morning all. Sunny here but looks cold. 7.7 for me this morning.have to go shopping today yuk. Methinks beans on toast as down to half pay. Och well better than nothing and at least I’m improving. Have a good day all
 
Hello all. 6.9 this morning. Not too bad considering I was pretty much off plan with my eating yesterday. Went out for the in-laws birthday celebrations. One had a birthday on Friday, the other later in the month but will be away for it. We had breakfast at Wetherspoons. Veggie style. We ended up back there for a drink after the cinema. I asked if we were intending to eat there again and the husband said no. Somehow we ended up staying for tea there. I (happily) ate a veggie burger and chips. I’ve not done that for months! I was expecting to be rather high by the time I got home (didn’t have my meter to test pre-meal) but was only reading 9.8 which I think for me was fairly good on that carb fest. However when I did a quick urine dip at bedtime it was green so I definitely did go above 10 at some point. Oh well. It’s not something I do regularly.

Back on the bland diet today.
 
5.5 this morning on waking, but to 7.7 when I got to work before eating my breakfast. However, I didn't wash my hands before testing as I was a few minutes late to work, so needed to get logged on asap, so just dumped all my bags down and tested while laptop was booting up.
 
Good morning 5.8, up to 6.5 an hour later.🙂 Thankyou for all your kind words, the only thing different in the last two weeks is I have been put on Ramipril 2.5 mg for blood pressure. Just reread the leaflet, Ramipril may lower your BS if you taking insulin, monitor BS very closely.😳o_O. Just retested back down to 5.2, does that count as a HS.:D

Good morning 🙂 7.2 for me today, but after an 8.9 before bed, I'm happy enough 🙂

Sorry to hear about the problems you are having @KARNAK :( What insulin are you currently on? Something needs sorting if you are having such frequent and stubborn hypos :(

Hi @Northerner Insulatard and NovoRapid, Doc phoned me on Friday to see how I was getting on, going to ring again today to see how the weekend went. Should be fun.🙄

Hello @Ljc, Doc says Ramipril should not effect BS, but the leaflet that comes with the tablets is very specific, lowers BS`s.

I was on Ramipril briefly and the pharmacist advised me of a potential effect on BG levels. However, at the time I was brand new to diabetes, so couldn't determine whether it was having an impact or not! 🙄 The GP changed me over to candesartan when I had side-effects from the ramipril and I've never had a problem with that 🙂
 
I am on Ramipril too but I can’t remember if I noticed any difference when my dose was upped last year.

@KARNAK . I am on Ramipril too , I noticed a slight reduction in BG when I was first put on it and also when the dose was increased , I believe another medication in your signature can lower BG too
