Group 7-day waking average?

Been on ramipril for years, never noticed it having any effect on bg, no side effects at all so far.

7.3 on waking.
 
Good evening all, my bs this morning was 12.7 . Not too disappointed as on hotel break and tend to overeat and I guessed how much insulin to take with my meal last night. I enjoyed a relaxing time at the spa this morning but beautician was so upset when she accidentally removed my freestyle libre sensor. I tried to console her and told her not to worry as I have another one. I rang Abbott Diabetes Careline & told them what happened, they are sending me a new sensor which I should receive in the next 2-3 days. I thought that was very kind of them as they were under no obligation to do so. Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone .
 
Sorry everyone that said it was nice to hear from me, I didn't get email notifications and only just checking in again! This admining on a mixing group takes up a lot of my time between mixing and trying to get myself into rebuildable tanks! lol

Anyway woke at 4 to a blocked ear :( so was up at 6 syringing it as didn't want to go to my education session with only 1 good ear! 🙄 so when I got round to testing an hour later I got a 5.8 fingers crossed the 12 units of Tresiba seems to be doing the trick for now

out the door by 8 to get to Ninewells, turns out it was one of the dieticians running the session so that was good, about 21 of us were there, that's me got a sensor on and as I had everything with me they will get a letter sent to the GP asap so got to phone the health centre in about a week and see what's happening 🙂 scanning on the reader and my phone 🙂

Hope everyone else is keeping well!! xx
 
Eeeevnin.🙂 6.5 here this morning.😛

Forgot to post this morning cos I had a 3-day Welsh course to rush off to. Had lots of fun - more of the same tomorrow.:D
 
Hi folks, just an update on today. Figures stayed very constant until I had a packet of crisps,😳 tested after straight up to 15.2.😱 Went home after a couple of units of Bolus, walked across the sea front collected about 150 hats due to the extremity of the wind. Got home had something to eat, recliner helped me shut my eyes for an hour, tested again 2.8:(😡. Have a good evening folks.🙂

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

Your right Lin blood pressure has been a problem for many years but BS hasn`t been a problem until recently. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Ouch @KARNAK. 2.8!😱 I hope you get to the bottom of your lows asap.
 
Cripes, I'm on Ramipril, if it lowers bg I wouldn't like to see mine if I stop taking it! 😱

8.3 this morning. I seem to be stuck in the 8s.
 
Crikey Ted @KARNAK that's some rollercoaster of blood sugars swinging all over the place! 😱

When I was on eyedrops for increased eye pressure after my cataract ops I had to test a lot more. As stated in the info leaflet the drops masked hypo awareness. The consultant didn't know anything about it, doctors don't necessarily know every side affect & why I always read medication info! In my case my body signals also got confused, feeling hypo when I was actually hyper & didn't feel anything when hypo! :confused:

Unfortunately I had adverse reactions, increased instead of lowering pressure, to eyedrops & after a long search to find ones, a combination of 2, I could tolerate, keeping the pressure down, I couldn't change the drops & just had to test a lot more while on them! Hopping on toes emoji!

In your case you could let your doctor know by showing him the info leaflet & change to different medication. Also, I wouldn't risk correcting with extra insulin when blood sugars are high just in case of a sudden massive drop! 🙄

Too much info warning! I'm pre menopausal now & cycles are infrequent & I can get massive swings from high to low when I DO have a cycle! I didn't correct the highs as I didn't know when a drop would come! For safety overnight while sleeping, I ate peanut butter on oatcakes for a steady release of sugars to cover any drops. 🙄
 
Thanks Lanny time for a bit of shut eye. Sleep tight 😎
 
05:10 BS 5.1.🙂

Still very stormy outside, it’s the 4th. day & it’s freezing!:(

Will have some nice hot soup for brekkie!😛

A very early good morning to you all & stay warm & sunny on the inside!😉
 
Good morning. The sun is starting to put in an appearance 🙂
7.7 for me this morning due to polishing off the poppadoms from the Indian takeaway I had much earlier and three Lindor truffles 😡.

Hope you all have a good day
 
morning my lovelies! 🙂

scan and prick threw a 6.9

hope you all have a lovely day xx
 
Morning all, 7.5 here, overtreated a mild hypo at 2am. First morning for a week that it hasn’t been frosty here. Weather is supposed to be warming up, a fine bank holiday weekend? Surely not!
 
Good morning. 8.3 this morning. Out for lunch today. Think it must be cold outside as it’s cold inside
 
Morning all. Just when I thought I had got to the bottom of the 7s everyday, 7.3! :( Didn’t eat until 9 last night, left the house for a walk at 2.30 yesterday, went to look at a new car along the way, visited bro and sis in law, had a drink with them and got home just after 8! So when I went to bed at 11 I was quite high and still had insulin running so just took normal basal. @Carolg I'm out for lunch also today with my three daughters. A late Mother’s Day treat as I was away for the actual day. Have a great day everyone. 🙂
