Group 7-day waking average?

[Robin]

Morning all, 8.5 here, my own fault, i was a bit too low to go to bed on, and overdid the snack. Did my favourite walk yesterday, the one that comes back via the camp site café. That’ll be the last proper walk for a bit, but I will probably cover several miles today walking round the cross country course trying to photograph daughter and some others from the stables. Hope the rain holds off til this afternoon.
Sorry you’ve been poorly, @Flower, hope you’re firing on all cylinders again now.

Morning all. 7.3 for the second morning in a row. I think the numbers will come down again gradually now I’m fully back on the wagon after a weekend of naughtiness.

 

[Madeline]

Morning lovelies, sorry to hear you’ve been ill @Flower.

10.5 for me. SIGH.

 

[Northerner]

Good morning, 5.1 after a few weeks of being a poorly person. 🙂

Back in the swing of things with contact lens clinic and low vision clinic today, I'd rather stick pins in myself...hang on a minute 🙄

Hope the film is good Amanda 🙂

I hope you're all doing as well as possible 🙂

Good to see you back @Flower 🙂 Sorry to hear you have been poorly Hope all goes well at the clinic 🙂

 

[Grannylorraine]

Sorry to hear you have not been great @ Flower, hope you are on the mend now.

I woke on a 6.3 after one of the best nights sleep in ages, with no trips to the bathroom. However hands are a bit swollen, can barely move my wedding ring, when normally I can slide it off easily, so must be retaining water atm.

Sorry so late, just forgot! Done my “ big” shop, washing etc before I remembered! A very nice steady 6.4, which I am very happy with as I went to bed on a 11.2! We were out at Mr Eggy’s Annual Camera Club dinner so obviously didn’t bolus correctly for my meal, upping my basal by 1 unit and changing my cartridge seems to be doing the trick. Weather changed today, a much cooler wind, and cloudy! Ah well, it was good while it lasted. 🙂

 

[eggyg]

Good morning. I managed to avoid a hypo with a 4.3 🙂 Just having some full sugar Coke to stop it dropping further before I go back to bed for more much needed sleep - I seem to need around 11-12 hours sleep a day during the last three or four weeks just to function! On a more positive note looking forward to watching Fishermen's Friends at the wine cinema this afternoon 🙂 It's nice having Mark on holiday with me.

We went to see it a few weeks back. Brilliant film, we love Port Issac where it’s set, we spent the whole film exclaiming, “ we’ve been there, we’ve seen that”. Top tip, take tissues, I got something in my eye when I was in the cinema!

Good afternoon everyone🙂

Woke up on 3.7 this morning, probably because of lengthy discussions with the neurologist and shooting down into the village for bog roll.

Anyway, I’m not dying. To explain things, I learnt something yesterday that I didn’t know before. That is, both Ulcerative Colitis, and its treatment (and its preventative) Asacol, can cause peripheral neuropathy. It’s an autoimmune phenomenon.

Now before all this kicked off 4 years ago, I’d just had a flare up of UC treated with Asacol, and steroids. I did tell the neuros in Glasgow, as a sort of by the way, but it didn’t register. Everyone was thrown by the motor neurone only problem - it’s rare in UC and Diabetes.

So what kicked all this off was a rare phenomenon, and the theory is that the Diabetes has slowly chipped away at the damaged motor neurones since, fooling everybody by sticking to the motor neurones. I’ve still got no sensory loss, bit of gastric slowing, perfect eyes and the naughty bits still work.

That’s all what the neurologist worked out, and it sounds plausible.

So here’s the dilemma - do I stop the Asacol because it just might be worsening the neuropathy, and risk a flare up of the UC which almost certainly will?

Is this a great excuse for a pump?

While I ponder these imponderables, have a great day, cos it’s going to get colder. Cast not a clout before May is out🙄

And you thought Brexit was hard to work out

 

[Madeline]

That’s kind of good but frustrating @mikeyB. I’m very happy that you’ll be around to annoy us for a long while yet, but the neuropathy is a bummer. I’m guessing there’s no other meds in their arsenal that you could switch to, as that’s a pretty obvious solution.

 

[Ditto]

8.1 this morning, 9.8 yesterday morning after a week of particularly stupid eating. Wake up call today at the opticians when I think she said I'd had a bleed in my eye? Really scared me.

 

[KARNAK]

Hi folks, vey late on parade today.🙄 A 4.9 this morning, had to have a Aorta scan but all ok,🙂 my dear friend collapsed yesterday so spent a long time with him today, bodies hey who knows what`s next?

|Hey @Flower please take care.

@Lanny NI friend, meet up get to know each other.🙂

Good night to you all except @Eddy Edson nuts and all.

 

[Paul123]

Hey! You're from NI too! Only just noticed when I looked up your details! I'm from Ballymoney in County Antrim on the Causeway Coast! "What about you?" 😉

Hi Lanny, I live in Greenisland, County Antrim - not far from Carrickfergus.

 

[Paul123]

Hi all, my bs was 12. something this morning . Hopefully bs will be better tomorrow. Night night all

 

[Lanny]

03:51 BS 7.6. Was surprised by that but, then realised that I'd forgotten to take my Midnight Levemir: alarm went off & I was so groggy with sleep that I dozed off again; confirmed by the Timesulin cap!😳 So, put in the full dose of 20 units, it's ONLY late by about 4 hours, & my breakfast, munching as I post, with my Novorapid.🙄 That's why I got a second Timesulin cap for the Levemir as well as I keep dropping off to sleep again when the midnight alarm goes off!😱

Up before the birdies again this morning & there's a definite slight chill in the air!😱

An early good morning to you all & may you all have sunshine on the inside, where it counts, & it won't matter if it's a bit chillier on the outside!😉

 

[AJLang]

An early good morning. @Flower I hope you are feeling better. Thank you about the film, Fisherman's Friend was good.
A lot for you to take in with the appointment Mike but I'm so glad that you're not dying, but big decisions for you to make. I feel for you.
Early BG this morning of 3.2 - thank goodness I scanned whilst I was in bed because I hadn't realised that I was hypo. 1 small can of sugar Coke and now up to 3.9. Optic nerve scan at 8.30am.
Had a strange "turn" after going to the cinema yesterday. Mark said I seemed strange and for 10 minutes I felt awful and couldn't get more than one word out at a time. I phoned 111, they said to see GP, lovely receptionist spoke to GP who obviously thought it was too late to see me so said to call in the morning if it happened again or 111 during the night! It's the second time that it's happened in the last month, but seeing neurologist on May 7th so will hopefully get answers then. I'm hoping that he will say that it is another symptom of my silent migraines and not a possible TIA. Getting almost too nervous now to go out on my own unless I get a taxi very close to where I want to be in case one of these events happen when I'm out on my own. Sorry for the long ramble (I blame the hypo 🙂 ).

 

[merrymunky]

Morning all. 7.1 here. Hoping we can be back in the 6s soon!

I’m up insanely early as it is my first day back at work since the end of November. I’ve never been away from work for such a long time and am rather nervous about walking back through those doors again. It’s all the more bittersweet because I should be enjoying the start of maternity leave.

Good morning 🙂 Slept in a bit today, and woke to a 7.0 🙂

 

[khskel]

Morning all and a 5 on the dot for me.

Good luck to everyone today.

Rehearsal studio tonight to sort my keyboards out. I'm in love with music again.

 

[Robin]

Morning all, 5.1 here.By the look of my new Libre trace, I’ve spent half the night lying on it. (I didn’t put it quite as far to the back of my arm as I usually do, in the interests of using a slightly different position every time)
