Group 7-day waking average?

6.3 for me.
Another miserable grey Monday morning. :(
 
Good morning all 🙂
A pretty dull and miserable Monday morning here, I'm tempted to creep back into my bed!
So what's on the meter Seeta? It's a 7.7 .......now that's better 🙂

I hope your OP goes nice and smoothly @Rob51 my hubby's had both his eyes done this year and he's very happy with the results.....I'm not though cos he can clearly see what's going out of the bank now! 😉

I hope your cataract surgery goes smoothly @Rob51, the difference a new clear lens makes is amazing 🙂

Good morning gang🙂

Woke up today on 3.3, but as that was a gentle sink overnight. no panic. Bit of a bonus really, that meant the luxury breakfast of Americano with two chocolate digestives🙂 I think I was a bit low because of the meal my family prepared for us. Forgot how to bolus for potatoes, haven't eaten any for months. Still, it was nice to be catered for, doesn't happen very often these days of not needing to stay in the Glasgow Hilton Garden Inn for hospital appointments.🙄

Speaking of hospital appointments, I asked my GP to set up an appointment with my old mate Damian Lynch so that I could blag a pancreas scan and colonoscopy.. I have got one. 29 November. I expect that is because he's a Professor these days. Or it might mean NHS England is falling to bits. In Scotland, I was used to biennial colonoscopy, because folk who have had total colitis are more likely to develop bowel cancer. Apparently, they don't do that in England any more.Saves money, I suppose, but that test they send through the post doesn't catch early treatable tumours reliably.

Anyway, today, in memory of those hateful racist gun massacres in America, a result of Trumps racist polemic, I will be wearing a T-shirt with an outline image of Paddington Bear's hat, coat, boots, scarf and suitcase. Underneath is written "Migration is not a crime". We are all descended from migrants, some more recent then others. Trump's mother was Scottish. I'm descended from Irish. Just because you are white doesn't mean you're not an immigrant, and being any other colour doesn't mean you are. Oh well, I suppose good old common sense and pragmatism will triumph in the end. Star Trek had it right. Humans of all colours working happily with Vulcans and Klingons. Shows how it's done.🙂

Have a good day folks, specially Rob51, cataract ops are brief, painless and transforming. 20 minutes, a few days of drops, and you can appreciate your HD TV🙂

8.4 for me, so not happy with that, but did have a massive anxiety attack this morning, not sure if the anxiety attack which I have not had in ages caused the high bg or the other way around. Down to 7.3 after breakfast so coming down now. Hopefully will see another drop by lunchtime.
 
I've been absent from this thread for a while due to high readings and whilst I know the idea of it isn't only to post when you have good ones, I really didn't want to demoralise myself by logging them here on a daily basis. It is now looking like the honeymoon period may be coming to an end for me as readings in general are much more stable and having increased my basal insulin by 2 units a week ago, I have at last got an "in range" fasting reading of 6.1 this morning.... so I'm back!!
Congrats to everyone who has had House Specials whilst I have been gone. Hope everyone is as well as they can be and Diabetes Fairy has gone on holiday and isn't bothering anyone.
 
Yes Rebrascora, the diabetes fairy is on holiday here in Spain and has been messing me about something awful. Time for the Kalashnikov to cut her wings!
 
Oh dear! I am so sorry @Michael12420. You seem to have such volatile readings of both extremes I wonder if you actually have a resident DF all of your own. You seem to have had consistently scary readings the whole time that I have been contributing to this thread and you are well within your rights to rout her out and evict her. Good luck with that! Being as remote as you are from medical assistance, you really cannot afford for her to continue residence with you. I also think it is unreasonable to call her a fairy. She is more likely a mischievous elf or goblin or maybe even a troll!

I hope so, Northerner. My Hba1c was 56 in May, down from 114 in March. If I average all my finger prick tests for March, April and May I get 7.0 and if I do the same for May, June and July I get 5.8, so although I know there's no direct correlation with Hba1c it suggests I may have come down a bit further.

Good luck Anitram, please let us know how you get on x

A tad blowy in WALES!
