Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks 🙂

4.8 this morning despite the 1 and a half rich tea biscuits for a 5.4 at bedtime 🙄

Had the bathroom surveyors in yesterday, they are sending an OT round so hopefully get a shower cubicle put in rather than a bath, wont be for months yet though as the bathrooms will be going in "end of October, through November, beginning of December", no water for the first day and then when they leave it'll be washing my hands in the kitchen sink, not looking forward to it at all :(

Anyways have a great day! :D

Morning folks 9.9 for me this morning but if I turn my meter upside down it’s 6.6 desperately trying anything for a lower read.

Off to my golf club shortly for our Saturday comp have a good day
 
5.7 this am.
Huge overhead thunder storm last night, brilliant lightning. Hopefully it'll have cleared the air a bit.

Have a great Saturday.

Morning all. I’ve remembered today, no distractions. A disappointing 6.7 as yet again I upped my basal as well as having a very low carb day yesterday. Definitely DP going on big style. Without a Libre though and forgetting to test through the night, I haven’t a clue what’s going on in the early hours. Must. Remember. To.Test. Through.The. Night. It’s not gonna happen, I can barely open my eyes at three in the morning never mind have the wherewithal to start fiddling with BG meters and finger prickers! Have a super Saturday. It’s pouring here of course, the kids finished school yesterday for 6 weeks! 🙂
 
Morning all, 5.5 here. It rained all day yesterday, yippee, I didn’t have to water the veg plot. Supposed to be a heatwave again by middle of next week, though, with hot air coming up from Spain. Why do we always get someone else’s cast off weather?

Don't worry, we won't get any more of that European weather come October 31st 😱 😉
 
Forgot to post morning reading, 7.3 today.

Since getting new reader and updating the app the libre has been reading so much better, extremely close to bg levels, after nearly giving up on the device will be contacting clinic to order some more sensors.
 
Well, I'm happy to see a 7.0 this morning considering my recent readings. Turns out I don't have a UTI (perhaps cystitis from some other cause) but urine tested clear. Thankfully I hung fire on starting the Anti B's. Don't feel right though and have made an appointment to see the practice nurse to discuss my spate of stubbornly high readings. Thinking I may need to increase my basal but don't want to do so without authorising it with her. I still have what feels like the shakes and muscle fatigue a lot of the time so may need to see a doc too at some point since this hasn't resolved even when my BGLs are in the normal range and consultant doesn't think it is related to D.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend. We still haven't had the rain so harvesting will progress.
 
@KARNAK Bubbles says hey and thanks! He's become my latest fashion accessory in the form of a belt, he keeps gluing himself to me like this now everyday for the last week! :D

Good morning 11.7 on a sunny warm day.😳 I knew it would be high this morning because I had pasta with clams, various sweet peppers, lots of garlic, lots of extra virgin olive oil and a few chilli peppers. The pasta is the issue that's why I only have it very occasionally.🙄

Hope you feel better soon @Grannylorraine & @rebrascora {{{HUGS}}}.

Well its 25.C at the moment, by the time I walk up to the town my BGL`s should be back down to normal, LO.:D Stay safe folks enjoy your day.🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

Bit late reporting, I’m recovering from the detritus of last night, which was a bit of an adventure. First off, I was 8.2 this morning after this:

Last evening made a seafood tagliatelle meal, so needed an appropriate bolus for that. Didn’t work. The food, that is, not the bolus. I went LO half an hour after eating, so had to correct that which brought me up to a rather unsteady 5.2. After a while, and a couple of very jammy cream crackers, that stabilised, and went to bed on 5.1.

5 hours after eating, I woke up to find that I had a sudden spike into high double figures - that’s the food and correction fully hitting. It’s a redose of the original bolus plus a bit more that brought me down to that waking number three hours later.:confused:

Here’s a tip that I’ve discovered. When you give yourself a fairly large insulin dose to tame an unexpected high, divide the dose by 2 and do two separate injections. It makes absorption more efficient.

Anyway, enough moaning. My boiler needs a new pump, so that’s arriving on Monday morning with the engineer. He will be able to chat with the riser recliner engineer, who is arriving Monday morning with a part for that🙂 That’ll be five days without a shower. Eek😱

So, that’s the three horrible disasters done with. They always come in threes:D

Have a good weekend everyone, next week will be scorchio. I’ll enjoy it, wage slaves won’t.🙂 (Specially boiler and chair engineers:D)
 
@KARNAK Thanks so much for the hugs and good wishes Ted, although I think you need them more than me! How do you stay so positive when your BG levels are so unpredictably volatile??? I do love your rather cavalier outlook on what must be a pretty scary health situation.... can you spare some (of that happy go lucky attitude) for those of us who are overly anxious but not nearly so challenged?? Returning HUGS with interest. Hope you have an enjoyable, and major incident free weekend.
