Group 7-day waking average?

[rebrascora]

Same experience for me with novorapid, borne out by the Libre - takes around an hour to even get going, and usually lasts for 5-6 hours 😱 As the great Northern philosopher Jim Royle might say, 'Rapid, my a**e' 😱 Absorbs more quickly from abdomen than derriere 🙂

That is really useful to know. especially when backed up with Libre, because my nurse is adamant that any hypo I get in the afternoon can't be down to my breakfast NR because it only has a 2-3hr window and must be caused by my Levemir, which is tosh as far as I am concerned... I only take 8 units Levemir on a night and I only ever hypo on an afternoon if I take 3-4 units of NR for breakfast with an appropriate amount of carbs, but if I take 2 units NR with an omelette and salad I am stable all day, no problems... just find it hard work to prepare and eat a great plate of omelette and salad every morning, but most mornings I enjoy it 🙂.
It is interesting about the injection site too as I did wonder if using my thighs had delayed it. Do you know if injecting and then working that part of the body speeds it up? Normally I am fairly sedentary until after breakfast. Might have to experiment with a short run round the block incorporating a steep hill for 10 mins after injecting or is that risky? Wish I had a Libre!

Anyway in typical fashion, I wake up to a wonderful 5.4 fasting reading this morning (went to bed on a 9.0 with no evening meal) on the day that I manage to get an appt to see the nurse about my persistently high readings for the past 10 days! We have at least agreed a strategy for if/when it happens again and I can increase my Levemir by up to 2 units. Lets hope I can have another few weeks of reasonably steady normal readings now (my omelette pan will be back in daily use) before my next off piste expedition in the high Alps!

A lovely 5.8 for me this morning. Happy with that.

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).

Well done @Grannylorraine it sorry you are feeling low and under the weather. Hope you feel better soon x

Thank you, feeling a bit better now as have managed to update most of my passwords and get most things changed over to my new email address after being hacked, so that has helped, throat is not as bad so hoping I am over the worst, plus I know can always rely on you guys for words of wisdom or comfort. So all in all in a better place, plus only 3 days of work and I go to Norfolk for a week with my grandkids.

Glad to hear this Lorraine, how horrible to be hacked. I love Norfolk, I lived and went to school there, it is such a beautiful county and the beaches are amazing. I hope you have a wonderful time xx

Ooh! I've only just found this thread, goody good. 🙂

9.4 on waking, not one of my best.

Sorry about what happened to you Lorraine.

I too love Norfolk, we used to holiday at Great Yarmouth when my children were little, we took lots of day trips around the area too, there's some really lovely places, my favourite has to be the Norfolk Broads on a boat, lovely relaxing and peaceful place.

I hope you have a lovely time. x

I love the Norfolk beaches, you can't beat them can you Sue. x

@Grannylorraine I'm in Norfolk and I can tell you it’s hot hot hot !! Hope you have a lovely time here. Looking forward to my summer holiday at precisely 3.00pm tomorrow. It’s going to be a long and hot day!

My levels seem a little higher in the hot weather 8.4 disappointing

Hope everyone has managed to stay a little cool today.

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 5.4 for me today 🙂 I've got to hand it to the weather man - he promised thunderstorms and heavy rain overnight and that's exactly what we got 😱 Still very dark and wet out there, and it certainly hasn't cooled things down at all! 😱

 

[SueEK]

Morning all, 4.9 for me this morning after rubbish night, sooo hot and the dog shaking with fear on the bed because of the thunderstorms. Glad to be seeing the DN for review today after very unsettling day yesterday with first low of 3.3 and not feeling great - can’t deny I was panicking a bit, still upwards on onwards hey!! Keep safe in this hot weather x

 

[Bohemianne]

Good morning all 🙂 Spot on 7 for me this morning 🙂
I didn't get a wink of sleep last night, not because of the heat, I just couldn't get off to sleep, and now that it's the morning and it's daylight, I feel like I could sleep for Britain always the way!
The storm didn't seem to reach us here in Kent last night, but I've no doubt that we'll get it at some point in the next few days.
Do your best to keep as cool as possible and, above all, keep well hydrated everyone. Have a lovely day 🙂

Morning all, 5.6 for me

 

[miguel81]

Good morning, a hot sweaty night with lots of thunder and a little drizzle of rain. 3.8 is my morning reading.

 

[MeeTooTeeTo]

6.0 for me.
Too hot and humid to sleep last night - might have a little snooze after lunch 🙄

 

[Rob51]

Morning Folks after a hot and sleepless night it’s a 10.1 reading for me

 

[khskel]

Morning all and 5.5 for me thanks to an early hours oatcake.

Cracking storm last night. Copious amounts of caffeine my be required to stay awake at work.

Have a good day everyone.

 

[Grannylorraine]

5.7 for me this morning. Feeling a lot better in myself although eating is not as good as it should be, but don't feel like cooking in this heat. Only 3 more sleeps until I go to Norfolk for a week. I can't wait.

 

[Kaylz]

Good morning folks! 🙂

Fingers crossed this means its finally settled and will be consistently close with finger pricks from now on!

Also got my new RTA coiled and wicked yesterday and she's a beauty!

The company on the mix mat have been known to raise money for us!!

No thunderstorms for us last night even though we had a weather warning in place although Windy Wilson (also raised money for us) predicts they will be here today as they are moving slower than first thought

Little sleep after the neighbours who had been away for a few days came back at 10pm last night and then decided to gather out the back right outside my bedroom window and shout and laugh and even had their kids under 5 out there with them, this was 10:40pm!!

Bruce keeps saying it's too early for thinking about Christmas but think Bubbles is on my side as he pulled the reindeer antlers out this morning and went mad playing with them lol

Hope you all have a great day!
xx

Never too early to think about Christmas Kaylz, I have already asked my son if he will be here at Christmas or going to Czech Republic with his girlfriend so I can think about the size turkey to buy. Was also wondering if I could wear my elf t-shirt while on holiday in Norfolk next week.
