Group 7-day waking average?

Hazel said:
Well considering my last Hba1C (in Marchwas a shocking 16.8%, my house specials and similar, have been hard fought. Several changes in meds and great support from hospital DSNs, without whose help, I would still be floundering. Consultants goal was for me to be insulin free by my next appt in January

You're certainly making good progress towards that goal @Hazel 🙂
 
Hope you are all enjoying this lovely day. 🙂

8.0 for me this morning.

I believe it is considered the optimum fasting reading but hopefully @Northerner can explain it if I haven't got that quite right. It is really just a bit of fun and a goal which some of us hit occasionally by law of averages (and claim glory for) whilst others like @Hazel in particular, are skilled at achieving on an unbelievably regular basis (but is extremely humble if not apologetic about it)

Much obliged Ma'am
 
Oh yes, sorry folks the house special is my fault. 5.2 is such a lovely level because it’s far enough above the 4s to suggest a nice level over night, and there’s a nice little layer of wriggle room for a breakfast spike. Ooh makes me warm and fuzzy just thinking about a 5.2 :D
 
Good morning, wakened rediculously early, not worth going back to sleep
Hs 5.2
Have a good day peeps

Yayyy!!! Congratulations on yet another HS Hazel! 🙂

I've just missed out today with a 5.3 🙂 Looks like I got this Libre at just the right time as I've been chasing lows for the past couple of days - reduced insulin but still having to top up frequently with JBs. Mind you, I did do some gardening yesterday 😱 Down to 14 units novorapid yesterday, which is now down 65% on what I was using over the winter 😱

A bit dark out there at the moment, with a few spots of rain on the window, so I may be excused more gardening today 🙂
 
05:42 BS 4.5! Eek! That’s lower than I’d like but, I’m ok & typing is fine! Getting up, physio stretches etc. & it’ll rise! Good thing I kept Midnight Levemir at 20! 😱🙄

Extra neck stretches worked very well yesterday! I did them before & after the shoulder stretches so, double the amount. But, physiotherapist says you can’t do too many of those & they won’t don’t do any harm & helps to strengthen my neck: I’ll have to tell next week that they ease the pain of the shoulder stretches too! So, no need for ice packs yesterday & I slept pretty well last night: not completely discomfort free; a LOT better than the previous night though! The stretches just before bed maybe lowering my BS overnight so, I may even reduce Midnight Levemir from tonight? 🙄 That’s a waking difference of 4.5 from yesterday to today: not the first time I’ve noticed how pain & discomfort elevates BS! o_O:confused:

A much more usual for me, early Good Morning to you all! It’s the weekend & time to go wild! Have a Wonderful Day & a Great Weekend! 😉

Edited to add:* Oops!😳 Clearly can’t do maths first thing in the morning: a difference of 3.5! 😱:D
 
Say no more
It's 5.4

Last night just as I was drifting off to The Land of Nod, I was rudely brought back to reality by a loud scream. Mrs MeeTooTeeTwo is an out and out arachnophobe and there indeed was a fine healthy specimen hovering about above our heads. Mrs M is afraid that they’ll come abseiling down in the night and crawl into her mouth. I did once suggest she wear a surgical mask in bed. But I got wrongly accused of being a pervert. (but that’s another story!)

Off I shuffled (remembering to put me slippers on so as not to cause injury to the old trotters) to get the old faithful Lakeland Spider Catcher * what I got for Mrs M when I'm not around to do the necessary.
https://www.lakeland.co.uk/20455/Spider-Catcher-Vacuum-Insect-Catcher

I successfully hoovered it up, took it off to the far end of the patio and told it to go forth and multiply somewhere else. Faster than Usain Bolt on amphetamines it was back trying to climb over my threshold. After a couple more attempts it finally saw my point of view and skulked off into the night.


*Remember other brands are available and always read the label. No spiders were harmed during the telling of this tale.😱

Have a great one, everybody
Dez

S'funny post. :D Keep an eye on your water glass too. Mum usually just drinks in the dark if she wakes in the night but for once put the bedside light on and there's a big wincy looking up at her from the bottom of the glass. She would have drunk him! 😱 :D

8.5 @ 6.56am raining here in Cheshire.
 
Morning all.🙂 9.2 here...I can’t win lately! Back to the drawing board...🙄

Overcast and a nip in the air here - perfect for our local triathlon. I wonder if I’ll spot any Libre sensors among the participants.😛
 
Morning all 6.5 today, but no double figures after evening meal so maybe that Tresiba was erm a bit past it’s best 😳
 
Been a naughty boy yesterday, thought I would let my hair down as I am on my summer holidays. 7.2 this morning after having some naughty food yesterday but the big slice of Lemon Drizzle cake was lovely.
I will be a good boy today I promise.

Envious you attending the harley event Kaylz, enjoy.

I certainly will, we'll watch the ride out (but technically I would class it as a ride in seen as they arriving back to park up lol) as that comes right along the main street which isn't even a minute up the road lol, then we'll head down to see them park up (5 minute walk at most) get some pics so I'll probably upload some later, hoping to go on a few rides as we've got a funfair parked up down there as well, a few local bands (not heard of any of them) but should be a great afternoon, will no doubt see my father in law as he's volunteering (well that's as long as the fire service don't get a call out as he's head man there) and Bruce's cousin may be there working (he's a policeman) getting rather excited lol xx
 
Sitting in the garden at the mo, in the shade of a tree, beautiful morning feeling rather continental. Coffee in one hand and test strip in the other. A pleasant 5.4 for me so pleased with that. Like @Lanny will be doing neck and shoulder exercises next, one shoulder massively improved, other coming along slowly. Also now using 1lb weights to try to strengthen them and hopefully tighten up flabby arms from my weight loss, not a very good look. My kids laugh at my 1lb weights but it’s enough for me at the moment, they only cost me £1 from car boot - bargain. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful weekend so hope you all enjoy.
@Ditto the thought of that spider in a glass is not a pleasant one, so glad she didn’t swallow it ugh!
@Lanny good luck with the exercises
@Anitram enjoy your hols in the Solent scene
@Kaylz have fun at the HD rally, my son in law has a beautiful one and goes to the meets down here.

I'll post a thread either tonight or tomorrow with some photos, my phone is currently on charge to make sure it'll be good for the day as forgot to get batteries for my camera and I use my phone for scanning my sensor as well so will get a lot of use today! lol, you should get your son in law to have a look at the event page on facebook (if he has facebook) see if its something he'd be interested in attending any year, there is dedicated camping for the bikers as they come from all over for it xx
