Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone. Woken to a 6.7 today.

My levels have gone so wonky over the last few weeks. My 7 day average meter reading is currently at 8.0 which it hasn’t been since diagnosis. I’ve had s fair few above average readings. Some have been my own fault and some I suspect are hormonal related. My diet hasn’t been at its most controlled at all. Not absolutely dreadful but I’ve definitely eaten some things I shouldn’t be.

My pre-tea reading was 8.0 last night. Not sure why as I’d eaten my usual boring lunch of carrot sticks, houmous and cheese at 12.00. I did have my first baby bereavement counselling session after work though so maybe the stress and tears could account for that.

I’m trying to get back into my usual decent eating routine this week but it is proving tricky thanks to a meal out tonight (plus a not great tea on Monday). I don’t want those levels creeping back up and ruining my hba1c results at the end of June either.

You've identified where some of the problems may lie, so hopefully if you are able to address these you'l get back on track 🙂 Sometimes life does get in the way, but the good thing is to be able to recognise when you might need to reassess and stop the drift 🙂
 
Morning guys 🙂 sun is shining again already but unfortunately it's my day for being stuck inside :(

6.2 for me this morning

Hope you all have a fantastic day! :D xx
 
Hi there.🙂 5.5 here.😛

This building work we’re having done just isn’t happening! They started on April 1st - April Fool’s Day, uh oh - and nothing much has happened since then. Waited in all day yesterday but they were a no-show...not holding my breath.:confused:🙄

You’ve just started back at work, @merrymunky, so you’re getting used to a big routine change. Don’t be too hard on yourself!:D
 
Morning. 8.2 🙂
 
Morning on yet another fabulous day. A 6.7 for me today. Will try and enjoy the weather but have appointments, not D related but high maintenance related! Then a big shop for dinner party we’re having on Saturday. Ah well, I’m off again tomorrow! Have a wonderful Wednesday. 🙂
 
HS for me today, so pleased with that, especially as I felt like I had a cold this morning, but seems to have cleared now. Just wish I could clear this fluid retention lol, I drink a good 2.5 ltrs of water a day, with just one or two coffees. I will speak to my diabetes specialist when I see her in a couple of weeks as it could be connected with the deterioration of my kidneys.

Have a good day all.
 
11:12 BS 5.9. I’m surprised & relieved too as I feel rough this morning! I’ve got a very scratchy throat, blocked sinuses & it’s either bad hayfever, fingers crossed, or a cold!:(

I’ll have an allergy tablet with my midday meds which I’ll take now, only a little early, & make some soup!

Yesterday was absolutely glorious & basked in the sun in the conservatory drinking loads of iced water! It always amazes me where all that water goes on hot days like that & there’s not that many trips to the bathroom. I once traipsed around Ocean Park in Hong Kong in the middle of summer with temps in the mid 30’s with a baking hot sun for a whole day guzzling down water, as we enjoyed the rides etc., & never needed to go once!🙄 But, I still worried about needing to as I guzzled, surrounded by water & getting wet on rides while being very thirsty, because toilets in HK can be a hit or a miss!:D But, I was probably overly anxious as OP is a VERY touristy site & the toilets were probably ok!🙄

I’m feeling better now & the throat is almost smooth, if you know what I mean, so, hopefully, it IS hayfever!

Anyways, I wish you all a Great Day full of bright, bright sunshine & don’t forget the sunscreen & you may need allergy tablets?😉🙄:D
 
Morning all, a 6.9 for me today. Been up for an hour already, rubbish night, it was a relief to get up! Not going to be quite as hot today so I think I had better get some housework done! Nearly ordered some crampons from Amazon to help me get to the top of my ironing pile! Have a great day. 🙂
 
morning guys 🙂

bright day again today, unfortunately we've already had a little incident with Bubbles this morning so looks like I'll be routed to the sofa most of the day :(

7.0 for me this morning and hope you all have a great day xx
 
Morning all, 6.4 here, needed a jelly baby at 2am, though only mildly hypo at 3.5, too much gardening again! How come it’s so dry we’ve got to water the veg, but the weeds are flourishing in the most arid bits of the garden?
 
4.7 for me today on another sunny day. working from home today as well as it is a disaster recovery test day and I don't have an alternate office location, so I get to stay at home and log on instead.
