Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all.🙂 5.1 here...ooo, so close to an HS.:D

The sun is shining! We’re having a day out today so let’s hope the sun follows us wherever we go.😎😛
 
Morning all 5.9 for me. Deliberately didn't take my evening Levemir, result flattish line with a temporary dip at about 3:30. I'm going to activate another sensor to keep an eye on this.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning folks! 🙂

Had a bit of an incident last night, tested before my Tresiba and bed and was 5.8, no worries I haven't had biscuits in as not needed them in months, mum always eats junk, oops she has no biscuits, it's fine Bruce left some biscuits the other week, 😱 they've gone, he'd taken them home! Thankfully it was 9:45 so Scotmid was still open and its only up the brae so Bruce took off, came back with a selection but I chose to open the pack of rich tea's

So anyway 5.7 for me this morning, shame I cant do anything regarding my insulin as there are no patterns whatsoever to go on so will be keeping a very close eye on the Libre

Hope you all have a fantastic day! :D
xx
 
Birds chirping bright this morning. 1 1/2 sleeps till holidays.
Munchy night last night, celebrating being on holiday. (Got a cheek after just finishing return to work) 10.1 this morning. First time that I had exact amount of insulin in pen for morning dose !!!
Have a good day all
 
10.1 which is better for me than the recent 4’s. Going from high 20s before tea to 4s in the morning has been a bit chaotic this week. Perhaps not as chaotic as the storms, no electricity for days, overhead cables setting fire to trees and having workmen in the house!

Diabetic clinic on Monday, looking forward to their ideas 😛 Didn’t bother getting HBA1C bloods it would make me look like I ate all the pies lol.
Oncologist appointment too and chemo may change again 🙄

Have fun in the sunshine if you’ve got it ... it’s avoiding the Midlands again!
 
Good morning 6.3 again in sunny Torbay, clouds over the sea and heading for France.😎🙂 Managed to set up new iPhone yesterday with a bit of help from everyone in my local club,🙄 I now know how everyone`s phone works except for mine.:D

Nearly there @Carolg.🙂

Hope the sun lasts but can see clouds building up over Dartmoor, enjoy your day folks.🙂
 
Morning all on this bright but blustery day. 🙂

Loathing myself again this morning, what's wrong with me? I dunno is all I can say. 7.2 @ 7.48am dunno if I went into double figures last night and it's crashed back down or not as I'm always too scared to measure when in the middle of a pig-out which included chippy chips, doorsteps, huge cream cakes, toasties and sweet white flat coffees. ::bangs head on wall:: I can't even stop until there's a cut-off point which came after piggy breakfast this morning when I came over all ill which thudding heart. I'll never learn.
 
Morning all - I am not testing today give my fingers a rest from pricking will do a full day of pricking tomorrow. Do you all use middle index and little fingers?

I always do middle or ring finger on my left hand, as I'm right-handed. Never done little finger and I read that index finger is a no-no.

I do both hands, but when on the little finger I always turn the needle depth down to lowest. I only use the little finger to give my middle and ring finger a rest. I seem to have very thin skin on my finger tips and they get a bit sensitive to the pricking, I sometimes have little bruises where the needle goes in.
 
Afternoon! Totally slipped my mind this morning. Clickety click for me ( 6.6). Just finished the ironing, putting off putting it away. Grandkids staying over tonight, so don’t need to do any housework today! @KARNAK can you come and help me with my iPhone? Set it up no bother but can’t transfer my contacts over from my Android phone. Think I’ve missed my slot as I had my old number switched over to my new phone yesterday. Ah well manual input it is. Thank goodness I’m a Billy No Mates! 😉 Have a stupendous Saturday, it’s dry up here! 🙂

That's annoying Sue. I do wonder if the continual pricking is going to harden up the skin.

My index finger is the worst for getting blood, tend to use middle or ring finger but they do get little bruises so sometimes try the index. Don’t test as much as I used to so not so much of a problem now thank goodness. I’m one of the lucky ones who get lancets and strips on prescription
 
Just joining this group.... hope you don't mind me muscling in.

Hugely relieved to get a 6.9 this morning. The past few days I have had a stomach upset and stopped the Metformin as it was that horrible gut spasm pain when you feel like you need to break wind but daren't because you can't be sure it is just wind and having to run to the toilet at inconvenient times.... like at the theatre the other night.... TWICE!! I can be fine with Metformin for a week or so and then have a couple of days when it makes me explosive or I feel nauseous, like there is a lump in my throat!
We didn't really think the Metformin was doing much when I was first diagnosed but the HCPs wanted me to continue on it after I started on insulin. Yesterday, it didn't seem to matter what I did with insulin or exercise, my BG was in the mid teens and I even took another 2 units of NR at bedtime to try to bring it down. Woke up at 3.30am convinced I was having a hypo.... probably because I knew that extra NR was a risk. Took 3 attempts to get a reading, the second just read HI, which was pretty alarming, but settled for the 3rd reading of 14.9 and went back to sleep. Was dreading my fasting reading this morning but the DF must have taken pity on me and that 6.9 was such a wonderful sight.
Back on the Metformin and my huge plate of omelette and salad for breakfast/brunch which really helps to stabilise me but is becoming a bit of a chore to eat and fingers crossed I will be back on track again.
