Group 7-day waking average?

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.

Nope my first Christmas present has been bought, 2 more will be ordered when I get paid next, I like to have things sorted rather than last minute rush buying! And go for it, I would!! :D xx
 
Good morning everyone. 5.2 after 30g carbs at 3.30am. I can’t get rid of this cold. I haven’t felt well enough to leave the house since last Thursday.
 
A Len Goodman this morning. SEVEN! We also had a hot, sticky and thundery night. Just been to check my water butt and it’s overflowing, it was only half full yesterday, must have fairly chucked it. Have a wonderful Wednesday and I hope all your stickiness becomes unstuck. 🙂
 
Oh dear 7.4 this morning.

just chatted with nurse maybe do a trial on 2 x 500mg metformin am and pm to stabilise things.... She said my recent HbA1C is very good in the time coming down from 85 mmol to 65 mmol in 3 months but I'm not so happy about taking 2 x 500mg


Wishing everyone a good BG day 🙂
 
7.1 for me, suprised as was 2.9 after 2 hour walk. Slept through thunder storms! Have a good day all

Perhaps the 7s can blame it on the thunder and heat :D 😉
 
Hi all, was at 8.5 before work. Doing an early shift today as I'm going to see Grease the musical tonight at the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend. Peter Andre is playing the teen angel character!!!
 
You know our wakening readings that we are doing. Are these before or after the first insulin injection?

I guess it is before the insulin injection but mine always seem higher than everybody else’s and it crossed my mind that it could be after the injection

Cheers

Yes they are on waking and before the first injection, not all of us on the thread are on insulin anyway

Afternoon folks. 🙂 4.6 on the Libre.😛

After a morning walk in the mist - it was actually cold! - it's back to scorchio again LOL. :D Enjoy the rain, you lucky things. 🙄
 
Congrats to @Flower and @AJLang for their House Specials this morning.

I'm very happy with a 4.7 as it looks like my run of high readings has come to an end. On the down side I had a hypo early evening last night of 3.1 which is my lowest so far. Had just got into the car to continue my short journey to my partners house to cook tea after stopping in at my yard to sort horses and chickens. First time I have felt really sleepy with it which worried me a little. Rang my partner to make him aware once I had eaten a couple of prunes and a glucose tablet and a peanut bar which was 8.6g carbs but he was still working on the harvest. Had an additional jelly bean and half a banana which I had in the car from my shopping and rang my sister and kept her on line and chatting until I felt I was over it and was up to 8.3. Was frightened to take my NR before my evening meal once I was eventually fit enough to drive to his house to cook it. Didn't have any with my omelette this morning (I normally take 2units) and I am up to 7.7 this afternoon, so maybe one unit would have been a better decision but happier to err on the higher side than risk 2 hypos in 2 days. I have good sensitivity and want to keep it that way. Just weird how I have had 10 days of stubborn high readings and then swung the other way.
We also got the thunder and lightening and a deluge but the garden needed it. Hot again today, but thankfully not as bad as yesterday as there is some cloud to break the baking sunshine up.

..Apart from that which is holding our Libre sensors on, @eggyg!

6.0 for me this morning, had to be on the road by 7.30am to daughter's, to receive her massive IKEA order while she’s at work, so what with that and the overnight thunder, it’s just as well her new house is a few minutes walk from a Café Nero, with their double shot coffees!
 
Woke up to a 7.5 this morning. A bit higher than I wanted considering how good I’ve been but my blood pressure was probably raised too this morning...

*whispers* I’m pregnant...according to two tests today.

Shhh? Say what now? You didn’t hear that? Oh good.
 
@merrymunky Will just congratulate you on your wonderful reading this morning then 😉 and not mention the other matter than none of us were supposed to see. Wishing you all the very best for your future readings too. I cannot imagine how excited you must be. No wonder BP is a bit high. Hoping all goes well for you this time. Definitely some very good motivation to keep things on track now. Best of luck!

Thank you. I am beyond terrified this time and still on disbelief.
 
I know you will be terrified after what happened last time but don't let that spoil this special and exciting time for you. Looking forward and being positive and doing your best to keep your BG under control and yourself as healthy as you can possibly be, is the best that you can do. Wishing you lots of luck with that.
