Group 7-day waking average?

10:54 BS 6.3. Ok with that. 🙂

My it was humid & hot last night. Rain in the air but not quite until early this morning but, only a drizzle: needs a good proper air clearing downpour! 😱 Had to stick the electric fan on it was SO uncomfortably sticky! :confused:

Sleeping pattern is coming along nicely & got up a bit earlier this morning hopefully be back soon to mu usual 5am ish! 🙂

An quite late Good Morning to you all & it’s the weekend: time to let the down & go wild! Have a Wonderful Day & a Great Weekend! 😉

Good morning 🙂 6.1 for me today, although I was 2.8 according to the Libre when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the loo 😱 I didn't believe it, had no symptoms and couldn't be bothered to check with a blood test since I don't use basal insulin. I think it may have been due to lying on the sensor, I always 'change sides' several times during the night 🙄

Wet and gloomy this morning, and a bit cooler. Hope we're done with the rain for the day as it's the Harrogate Festival today! 🙂

Had the same happen 2 hours after brekkie, scanned sensor and had a red screen on phone with a LO message, felt fine so did a bg test and reading was 5.7, checked again just to be sure and was 5.8, today libre is reading low for some reason, just before it was reading 4.8 yet bg was 6.1, this was allowing for the delay. Shame as its been bang on lately, surprisingly accurate since updates.
 
Good morning folks🙂

Bit of a sweaty night, but nothing stops me sleeping. Nothing that a nice shower and shave won’t put right. Woke up on 7.2 after a night of a straight line around 6 ish. Nothing that the morning Levemir won’t put right, anyway🙂

Everything electronic made by Apple I own is reminding me my sensor expires today. Bit like last time, I fitted it on a Saturday morning, but it is saying it will die around 3.00am in the night. Very odd.:confused: Anyway, the new one goes on after the morning ablutions, and I will fire it up with my new up to date reader.:D

You may have noticed that England steam rollered Ireland in the Test Match yesterday, Set 180 to win, they were all out for 38 in 14 overs of very high class swing and seam bowling, though in truth some of the Irish batsmen seem to have forgotten that you are supposed to use the bat to stop the ball hitting your pads or the stumps.:confused:

Still, Leo Varadkar, the Taoiseach, has said that a hard Brexit could well lead to a united Ireland, so the cricket team could tap into the vast amount of cricketing talent in the North. Aye, right:D

Have a good day, everyone, we’ve got a yellow alert for torrential rain here, so I’d better fix floats to the mobility scooter. Or just stop in🙂
 
Good morning 7.6 on a glorious day, 26.C at the moment🙂 but can see cloud appearing from the east.😎 Paignton carnival started today, tannoy is loud and clear music starts at 12 noon.🙂 DSN phoned me yesterday and was very concerned about going unconscious on Monday, I asked about CGM with alarms and was given an appointment to see specialist next week. Very helpful DSN spent 50 minutes on the phone going through daily routines, Insulin, grub, exercise etc. Oh @Benny G she told me to do exactly as you advised thankyou.🙂

Hi @Grannylorraine well done on the weight loss, enjoy yourselves in Norfolk.🙂

I watched that match yesterday @mikeyB great bowling, all set for the Ashes.🙂

Enjoy your day folks, I see rain about in certain areas, make the best of what you have. Take care all of you.🙂

This is my second sensor since getting them on prescription and it has misbehaved more than the previous one, and usually at night. I've had a couple of nights where it is showing in the red for practically the whole night, but other nights where it's nicely flat and within range 🙄 During the day though, much more accurate than when I last used them over a year ago 🙂

@Ditto That's a great reading this morning. What did you eat yesterday to get that?
Click to expand...
I'll post in the menu thread. 🙂 I don't think it's good, I used to be in the 5s, but I've gone off the rails due to liver problems, just don't know what to eat for the best. Also, I have much trouble getting any blood to test and if I only get a tiny bit it gives a funnypec reading sometimes.

6.7 @ 8.08am this morning. Much cooler, pouring with rain. Yay.
6.8 @ 6.20am yesterday morning.
6.6 @ 7.43am day before that. At least consistent!
 
04:08 BS 5.6. Forgot to post that earlier when I got up: already had breakfast! 😳

Another very sticky night & no proper rain, just grey threatening clouds all day: yesterday was cool enough; just the cloud cover making the night uncomfortable! 😱 & sweaty emoji! Just as well there isn’t one available for me to use on this forum: you WOULDN’T want to see THAT! 😱:D😉

I made it through the qualifying & opening rounds of another virtual golf tournament & finished 13 of 18 holes in the weekend final round so, another 5 holes to finish by 07:45 tomorrow morning! Regardless of where I end up, I get another finalist medal with my number on it: currently -14 for 13 holes sitting at number 55. 😛:D😎

Back to an early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 AND I’m back to being VERY predictable to dear old helpful Siri: the whole sentence came up above the keys of the keyboard for me to post in a single tap! 😱:D🙄😛

Have an easy, lazy Sunday! 🙂 There! Siri DIDN’T predict that: finger, middle right one if you’re wondering while I hold the iPad in my left hand, had to do a little extra work there & actually type the whole thing! 🙄

Did I ever mention that I have tiny hands, goes with my tiny size 3 feet & 155cm of height, that are size 5, the smallest ladies size gloves here being 6.5: buy & wear children’s gloves here with no leather gloves available for children. I have to buy size 5 leather gloves in Hong Kong where that’s a fairly common size. Even the iPad mini, the only size I like, is HUGE in my hand & since I only type with 1 finger, I’m very slow at it! 😱🙄 In case you ever wondered why I’ve often said it takes me ages to compose, type & post!:confused:o_O:D
 
Morning all, 6.6 this morning, not overly happy with that but hey ho. Very warm night but cooler this morning. Getting ready for car boot . Having daughter and family over for tea later so roast coming up methinks. Aching a bit this morning as went on running machine (brisk walking with 1lb weights) and not sure my arms or waist liked it, guess I’ll walk it off around the car boot. Have a lovely day folks x
 
Good morning 🙂 4.3 on waking, but that 'normalised' to a 6.0 a couple of minutes later! 🙂 A peculiar little dip after an overnight flatfish :confused: It rained relentlessly yesterday, and in between the rain we had heavier rain, I don't think it ever got light 😱 A real shame as it was the Harrogate Carnival and it was a complete washout :(

Morning folks I’m off to the golf club for a round - scrapped yesterday’s round as chucking it down all day.

Reporting a reading of 8.8 this morning
 
6.3 on waking, slept well after a cooler night, even had sheet on.

Whole country experienced a washout yesterday, something the carnival organisers can never predict, so much planning goes into these events so bad luck for Harrogate.

Mentioned yesterday about libre reading low as yours had, it continued last night and up to waking this morning, showing I was hypo during night. On Friday evening applied a new tubular bandage to protect sensor, after removing it before the readings started to normalise in line with bg levels, so figuring the bandage is to small for my arm and is compressing the sensor, a bit like lying on it when asleep which results in lower readings, so need to pop to shops later and get a bigger size, should have thought about this yesterday but hey ho.

Good morning folks 🙂

Mum's 2nd Christmas present arrived yesterday, its a John Grisham book, unfortunately they've had to split the order but at no extra cost so just have to wait on Bruce's one now, ordered myself a purse yesterday too off eBay 🙄

7.0 for me this morning

Hope you all have a great day! :D

Morning all and 4.6 for me.

That's it, brain struggling to come up with anything interesting this morning other than the fact that gearbox oil is reckoned to be the best lubricant for woodwind keywork. I wonder if Halfords sell it in 5ml bottles?

Have a good day everyone.
 
5.6 for me!

A man who was suffering the ill-effects of Metformin went to the doctor and asked him "have you got anything for wind?"
So, the doctor gave him a kite.
 
Morning all. I seemed to have developed flippers after 24 hours of torrential rain yesterday. Pleased to report brighter today, not pleased to report an unheard of 9.4. Went to bed on 6.4 and my readings yesterday were nearer the 4/5s all day. Did have a very upset stomach through the night, not enough Creon with my evening meal, I was up and down all night, that might have had something to do with it. As an experiment, I injected 11 units of NovoRapid ( ratio 1:5 + 1 unit correction) for my Full English, 40 minutes before eating. Dropped only 0.6! The DP strikes again! I’m not going to let it worry me, my daytime readings on a 1:10/15 ratio are always good. Not doing anything exciting today expect filling up my bird feeders, they’re very greedy at the moment, it’s costing me a fortune! Have a super Sunday and hope you are able to fold up your brollies and store away your wellies. 🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

Well, the new sensor is behaving impeccably, which is more than you can say for the Diabetes Fairy, who sheltered from the rain in our bedroom. Nice straight line overnight after a well bolussed evening meal of tagliatelle bolognese - peaked around 9, just like a normal human.🙂

So, went to bed on 5.9, and stayed there until around 6 in the morning, when my BG shot up to 13.2, which is what I woke up on. That being in the first 24 hours of the sensor, I pricked a finger to give a score of 13.:confused:

Well, that’s nice for Abbott and their new algorithm, but not for me because I don’t normally have to correct waking BGs, though like Eggy, I did have a touch of intestinal hurry before getting into bed. Wonder if that has owt to do with it. It’s not a big deal, Insulin will save the day.🙂

Decent weather tomorrow, after the relentless rain on the last day or so. Have to get down to the surgery in the wheelchair for my annual asthma/diabetes/cholesterol discussion. That’ll be fun, so I might not be reporting tomorrow till late. If ever, if I can persuade Steph the nurse to elope with me to her native Caribbean.😎

Have a good day, everyone, Hamilton is on pole position yet again, so all’s well with the world🙂
