Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, another hot and sticky night. A 7.1 for me, well I was out last night, which was lovely but extremely hot for all concerned, the poor chefs! A bit fresher this morning after another fabulous storm last night. Have a fab Friday, we’ve got the little angels! 😱

Good day 11.2 purposely raised after Mondays panic.! Monday afternoon I was on the floor although I didn`t know it, vaguely realised someone was with me and trying to feed me with some sort of substance. It turned out to be a Paramedic treating me with GlucoseBoost, my neighbours realised something was wrong because bedroom curtains were still closed at 13:00 and no one had seen me. Bedroom window is always open so they were able too look through window and saw the head of Ted propped up against the bed. They dialled 999 Paramedic was with me in minutes apparently, let himself in with key safe key they have the number, checked me over couldn't wake me up so started to chuck glucose down my throat. Gradually started too revive but a bloody painful experience as the glucose took effect, about 10 minutes before I could see and another 20 until I could get onto the bed. He was in constant contact with D clinic at the hospital including the D Specialist, anyway after another glucoboost and another 6 gluco tabs up to 4.9 from zilch to 2.0. Eventually managed to get on my feet and into the living room and some form of comprehend, sweating like a pig but body temp low.
Wrapped in hypothermic blanket for 20 minutes, back up to normal, well after two hours and after speaking with the D Specialist and taking 50g of carbs and making sure I would be looked after by my neighbour a T2 but tests and with instructions, Dave the
Paramedic left. No Insulin for the rest of that day although is was back up to 7.8 when he left, alarms set for every two hours too check overnight. DSN rang that evening and in the morning, seemed happy with BGL although still shaking, wobbly legs and blurred vision. I think I better Introduce some emoji`s cos it reads like something Leonard Cohen would have written,:D well folks didn`t go out for 3 days didn`t let BGL`s get above 10/11 except for this morning,:( my mate picked me up to go for a spin in his new Merc convertible10.3 when I left 2.8 when I asked him to stop, half hour later.😱 JB`s, gluco tabs and digestives back up to 5.8. The heat is obviously affecting me tremendously, it was 29.C in his cars outside temp gauge although we couldn't feel it, windows down and roof stuck in the boot.😎 Goodnight my friends I survived that one although still a bit out of sorts, 30.C at the moment, windows and doors all open, fans on. Speak with you in the morning, sleep safely.🙂

Oh my goodness Ted. This really needs sorted, @Benny G and @Northerner speak good sense. Take care.
 
@KARNAK what an awful experience - hope it doesn't happen to you again.
5.9 for me this hot and humid morning.

Good morning peeps 🙂

6.7 for me this morning and a thumping headache, our predicted thunderstorms the last few days never showed up and it's very heavy here so we really do need it

@KARNAK so sorry to see this Ted, must've been awful, you take it easy and look after yourself and I hope you feel better soon (((hugs)))

Have a lovely day folks! :D

Morning all, 7.0 here, I had a ginger ale instead of soda in my Campari last night, and because my brain was so addled in the heat, it never occurred to me it was a full fat version. So had to correct a 13.0 before I went to bed.
Goodness, Ted @KARNAK, stop giving us all such frights! Seriously, hope you’re feeling restored.
 
Good morning . 9.1 for me. Struggled with the heat yesterday . Had a mini ice lolly before bed.
@KARNAK . Hope you are better today. Take care.
 
Good morning 12.4, had 15gms of slow acting carbs at bed time and three JB`s.🙂 Thankyou all so much for your concerns and wishes, this really is a caring community forum. DSN is phoning this morning I shall push for CGM with alarm, in the meantime trying to keep levels above 10 although down to 6.0 at the moment.🙄 Thanks for your advice @Benny G and @Northerner, will do exactly as you suggest.🙂

Have a good day folks, stay safe and cool.😎🙂
 
6.3 this morning, I have weather headaches again. So glad for some cool though.

Ted hope things improve for you and soon feeling much better. What an ordeal x

Gonna try for a walk to pharmacy this morning to get meds, feel washed out after yesterdays heat, but praps with blood pumping and cooler temperatures I will soon be feeling tip top :D

Happy day one and all. xox
 
@KARNAK, so glad you are a bit better now, please take good care and I really hope you are able to have an alarm, sounds as though you really need one x
Morning all, haven’t tested today but wanted to wish you all a good weekend, keep cool, still very hot here. Awake a good deal of the night due to very stressed doggie, shaking, panting and dribbling all over the bed, not pleasant and she cannot be consoled in any way. Physio yesterday went well, am now discharged with exercises and stronger bands. Dietician today so all in all has been a very busy week. Looking forward very much to my break away in a fortnight to Littlecote House nr Hungerford, so beautiful and you get treated like royalty, wonderful. I queried the lunch time menu as mainly carb options and they took my details and will speak to the chef to ensure there are suitable options for diabetics. Last year at the same chain, Warner’s, the waiter was all over me with options for diabetics, was a lovely surprise. Keep safe x

Morning all. 6.8 @ 6.20am and feels a tad more refreshed after that nice rain last night. 🙂
 
6.9 for me this morning after a minor hypo of 3.8 last night which I slightly over treated.
@Ditto That's a great reading this morning. What did you eat yesterday to get that?
@KARNAK Sending hugs Ted. Pleased to hear you are getting good support from neighbour and HCPs and that your readings are safer looking today. I really hope they chalk you up for CGM. This forum would not be the same without your warm charisma. Please take care of yourself.
@Rob51 What did you eat yesterday? It might be that carbs from two consecutive meals are stacking on top of each other and not clearing overnight. Perhaps worth having carbs at lunchtime but none in the evening, or if your main meal is at night, avoid carbs at lunchtime and see how that works.
 
Hi All a very pleasant 5.5 for me today. 2nd day of the holidays. Not stressed or rushing round that’s probably helping!

It’s a little cooler with a slight breeze today. Impressive thunder / lightening over night although you wouldn’t know it had happened this morning.

@KARNAK hope you’re ok and things are stabilising a bit more. Pleased you have observant neighbours. Take care.
