Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone. I’m happy with my 7.7. My cold has been making me feel so ill. I haven’t left the house since Thursday. Going to do my best to get out tonight because I’ve got a hot date 🙂
 
Morning all, 8.0 here! Kept dropping in the night over the weekend, so ran a bit higher and had a lump of cheese before bed last night. Obviously didn’t need to. I reckon it was cooler over the weekend, and that made the difference.Back to the heat now!
 
Morning all. 6.9 for me this morning - Not bad after an annoying evening stuck in double figures last night.

My experience of Novo vs Humalog @mikeyB was a similar (and not very ‘rapid’) onset, but that Humalog had much more of a sting in the tail than Novo, which for me just gently fades after about 4 hours, rather than saving up quite a lot of its oomph for the last phase. The only way you’ll know if to try the switch I guess? You could always swap back if it ends up being worse for you?

Morning folks all hot and bothered in this heat reporting an 8.6 this morning - that’s lower than normally so hopefully I’m on the way down.

I know! I’ve come to have a peek at where the cool kids hang out. 😛

Last evening was 45 degrees and I was 14.5! Didn't feel like eating so just had a salad and one very small piece of bread and butter and 2 units of Novorapid. Woke up to a reading of 2.8. Don't understand that at all.

Goodness, can you breathe in those temperatures? 😱 Are you reducing your basal insulin at all Michael? It seems unlikely the novorapid in such small quantities would be the cause of such a low.

Good morning 🙂

This new sensor hasn't been the best reading in the 2's when I was in the 6's but hoping it will pick up as I don't really like calling places lol, was only 1mmol out this morning but showing me in the red for the last 24 hours basically 🙄 fingers crossed please guys!

Was very surprised to be in the 6's all day yesterday after having my teeth removed as was dreading it having a negative effect on my levels, haven't even taken any painkillers and only tender when I'm eating and the denture pushes on the fresh wounds

Anyway a 4.8 for me this morning and sweltering already

Have a lovely day folks! :D

Hope the sensor settles down, so annoying when that happens 😡 Great to hear that you are not suffering after the dentist's 🙂

My new role involves me counting stock in the big walk in fridge where we keep stock. It's bliss!
 
Good morning all.
Suffering the transition from work to no work. Later meals, snacking, not walking much as yet..lazy toad.bg levels rising a bit.
Going to get organised for meals and more into a routine....today is the day.
 
5.8 this morning, having a few breathing difficulties with this heat affecting my asthma, doesn't usually affect me like this, but I think the throat bug thing is not helping. Still feeling incredibly down at the moment, so need to lift my mood, and level are staying around the high 5's low 6's so need to work on getting them back down. But I am 2 lbs lighter than I was on Friday (scales got left in my reach so I got on them).
 
Good morning gang🙂

Woke up this morning on 7.2, which is reasonable, it’s a bit warm, and I have to do a bit of shopping this morning. Gives me a bit of slack😎

This afternoon I’m getting a new telly fixed to the wall of the man cave, so I will no longer have to use the iPad to watch cricket and footie. Tell you what, you may not like Sky TV, but Sky Q saves marriages. Or arguments, at the very least.:D

Today, we will no doubt find ourselves with a PM we never voted for, an even worse PM than the last one, which is going some. So with the world on the brink of conflict in the Gulf, our Parliament is about to take a summer recess. That leaves us with the rather worrying prospect of BoJo in charge when the situation goes tits up. Oh well, never mind, I no longer live within 50 miles of our entire nuclear arsenal:D

Have a good day, folks, take care in the heat, keep well hydrated, and don’t shelter under trees when the thunderstorms come. Flash fried diabetic is not a good look🙂

Luckily Spanish houses of this age have very thick walls, keeps the heat in during Winter and out during summer. Like I said, I don't understand why such a low Novorapid injection had such an effect on my morning readings. I have reduced my Toujeo from 18 to 14 each evening.

It shouldn't, so it must be your basal insulin that is too high currently. How many units of that are you using and have you reduced it lately? Hot weather usually means quite large reductions in my overall insulin requirements (including the basal/lantus when I was using it).

When I was changed o Toujeo from Lantus I was advised to inject 19 units, I then reduced it to 18, then to 16 and now 14. It is highly likely that my lifestyle is to blame. I usually only eat once a day - at 6 pm. This morning I had to have breakfast to raise my levels. I have other problems in addition to diabetes so at 7 pm I have two injections and 4 tablets and at 7.30 I am in bed and fast asleep and I get up around 6 am. That's a long time since eating dinner.
