Group 7-day waking average?

[merrymunky]

Morning all. A lovely 5.6 for me this morning. Very rare to have a reading in the 5s so I’m satisfied with that.

Have a great day all.

 

[MeeTooTeeTo]

Another late sleeper-in!
5.4 pour moi.
Have a good day, everybody.

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

Mine was 15.6mM at 3 am. Bad Ducky bad :-/. I had a small chicken pie and heap of spinach for dinner and gave myself the requisite insulin, or did i? Eiou no i didnt. Ahaaa. Bad Ducky :-/! I shall the wooden spoon to myself ;-).

A very rubbish 11.0. I also had chinese last night and didn't really know how to count the carbs in it so just guessed. But it's my highest reading in weeks so trying not to be too hard on myself.

Hopefully Bruce's book will be dispatched this week and my purse should be dispatched today then I'll lay off the buying this month, get a few more bits and bobs ordered in a while, think Bruce will be getting a couple of Lewis Hamilton dvd's

Dull but still very warm here

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Congratulations @Kaylz! 🙂

Good morning, Just 2.2 this morning.

What dish was it?

If it contain a sticky sauce, they're pretty sweet and bulk up the carbs no end. However the basic carb amount can be more.

Eg looking at a supermarket ready meal 450g sweet and sour, it contains 66g starch and 33g glucose =97g cho, about 2.5x a standard meal at home dependending on how many spuds one nirmally crams in.

I've been trying pressure Sainsbroids and others to lower the unneccessary and taste diminishing xs sugar in their foods in general. You even see sugars and sweeteners in crisps these days. What next, tripe in trifle?

 

[daducky88]

6.3 this morn at 8.30, its my high levels after tea time that annoy me

I know what choo post meals.

PS whos the handsome fellow in the picture 🙂

 

[daducky88]

4.5 yesterday and 5.1 this morning. Unfair advantage me thinks as I have a pump 🙂

Whats your 3am sugar?
There's isnt so much room to play with at 4.5mM.
Then again maybe you're very steady o/n?

 

[daducky88]

5.8 when I woke @ 9.20 this morn ( past 5 days were 3.9, 3.2, 3.3, 3.8 & 3.9) think the vodies I had last night helped !

Sounds your evening/night basal or dinner bolus could be reduced 10%

 

[Kaylz]

Congratulations @Kaylz! 🙂

Cheers hun, seen as you liked my pic on FB, what ya think of my new teeth then? lol

[Hazel]

Well, nothing stranger than diabetes.

Yesterday I felt so strange. Spinning head, viscous galloping trots, I decided a 24 hour starving might help

So no meds yesterday, weakened to 5.5.

Still spinning head, very blurred vision.
All could be attributed to the antibiotics, which I stopped yesterday,

Sorry, just feeling sorry for myself

Do you realise that you are replying and asking questions of posters who posted their comments 8 or 9 years a go?

Good morning all.
7.1 for me this morning.

 

[mikeyB]

Good afternoon, gang🙂

Bit late, I’ve been down to see the diabetes nurse, who was well pleased with my results which have improved no end thanks to Madame Libre, so I’ve now improved myself out of qualifying for either free Libre or a pump under local regulations. Bugger.

Still, it’s put to bed any remaining theory that my neurological problems are due to diabetes, because they are getting worse, which I will tell the next neurologist I see, if I don’t pop my clogs first

The only problem was she insisted I restart anti hypertensive tablets because I reached the dizzy heights of 146/82. I will, but only tentatively.🙄

Anyway, woke up on 3.3, which isn’t great, so Jelly Babies fuelled my wheelchair trip into the village. Lovely sunny day before the evening and tomorrow’s torrential downpours. Had to use my Radar Key in the village, so stocked up on Creon.

By the way, I got my electoral register form yesterday to check our details. If you get one, make sure you don’t tell them your email address or phone number, and make sure you are on the closed register, not the open one. If you are on the open one they can sell your details to anyone who asks for them and pays a few quid. That’s why we hardly ever get junk mail addressed to us, particularly Saga Bloody Holidays.

Have a good day, folks, never mind the weather, it’s just good to be alive🙂

 

[Lisa66]

Sorry for jumping in on a thread that I don’t take part in, but that’s ridiculous Mike!

I’m guessing that your control may not have been so good pre Libre, so it has proved to be worthwhile. By that thinking, would the nurse or whoever remove the Libre prescription once a patient has good control? I don’t think so.

Hi Hazel

I hope you feel better soon. If you got some rehydrat, might worth taking that to keep salts in balance.

 

[daducky88]

No.
I can see in light grey at the botton of every reply a time which i thought meant it was today?

Eiou no! I see it doesnt. I was replying to the ones on p1. Doh. Thanks for letting me know Sue. Cheers.

 

[KARNAK]

Good evening 9.2 this morning but feeling c**p.🙄 Been a pleasant day sun shining, beach full, carnival still on, went to have my painful feet sorted this morning, got to go back in eight weeks time. Off to a local cricket match tomorrow, a friend of mine from South Africa is doing a tour of English teams and is umpiring locally.🙂

Congratulations on HS @Kaylz.🙂

{{{HUGS}}} Hazel, take care.

Goodnight folks, sleep well and safe. 🙂
