Group 7-day waking average?

Woken up to a 5.7

It’s going to be another tough day. I have the scan this morning which was supposed to be a viability and dating scan. Now it will be a confirmation of miscarriage scan. I don’t know how strong I am going to be but right now the game face is on as I have to get myself ready.

I don’t know why my life is turning out like this. I’m 39, diabetic, still on the obese side of things (though dropping weight still), 2 baby losses behind me. I’ve lost so much more than babies. As a result my work life has suffered to the point I feel completely unneeded. I’ve lost friends. I’ve lost my confidence. I’ve now lost all hope. This baby was my tiny glimmer of hope. The light at the end of a tunnel which has disappeared again.

I don’t know what to do.

Will be thinking of you this morning, keep strong and please don't give up hope. I don't know if your surgery or DN has suggested steps to well being, counselling service here in Dorset if you go on their website you can self refer. I found them really helpful when I struggled with things life threw at me xxx
 
Sorry to bring the thread down but I feel I should tell you all that I’m having another miscarriage. My heart is broken.
So sorry to hear this. Sending you some love. X
 
Morning all, a 7.8 for me today. Getting my hair coloured today. No idea what colour yet!
 
6.9 this morning.
My sympathies to you @merrymunky

I’m having bereavement counselling with the pregnancy unit already. They’ve been fabulous so far.

Well it is confirmed. Just back from the scan. It’s all over already.

The only positive I have is that they have me my hba1c results from last week and it was 47. I’m pleased with that. I’m not pleased that even with that amazing result, I still cannot carry a baby.
 
5.4 this morning. another HS that's 13 in a row going to be so disappointed when they stop.
Well done Emmgeo, great results x

So very very sorry, can you ask to be referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic who should be able to look into things further for you. I’m sorry you are having such a horrible time xx

They don’t do it until you’ve had 3 losses.
 
06:55 BS 6.7. Ok with that! 🙂 As I was actually up earlier around 03:40 or so. Stayed in bed & played golf! Had breakfast straight after & forgot to test so, it’s an after breakfast reading: had cheese & beans on toast with a cup of tea. 🙄

The drains around my house are pretty water logged in all the wind, thunder & rain but, no lightning! And my side is the dryer side off the main road: dread to think what the opposite, much wetter, side is like; I know, without venturing out to look, that there’ll be a pond/lake right across the top of the lane leading to the main road! The pitfalls of living in a town in the middle of a bog: poor ground drainage after heavy rain! 😱 Thank goodness the rain has stopped this morning: gives a chance for the drains to slowly take away the water; about 2 inches of water deep & about 2 feet wide around each drain on the ground around my house by yesterday after 2 days & nights of rain! 😱 Still a bit nippy this morning & very glad of my quilt in bed last night! It’s like Autumn has arrived already! 🙄

A wee bit later than usual, for me, Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Finished off my virtual golf tournament opening round earlier this morning & I know I haven’t made it to the final round at 8am: terrible -16 for 18 holes & already in 75th place when I finished around 5am; only the top 50 make it! :( But, I get a qualifier medal after the 8am official result! So, I get something to show for my efforts! 🙄 As ever, I’ll post the medal when I get it! 🙂
 
Good morning peeps 🙂

Got my new red Novopen Echo yesterday 🙂 (although 2 already know that lol) hopefully the Tresiba cartridges will be ready to collect on Monday along with spare pen

It's a 5.1 for me both finger prick and scan after matching 5.4's at bedtime and a couple of rich tea biscuits, spiking quite badly just now though as Bruce has given me a cold 🙄

Hope you all have a great day! :D
xx
 
Good morning . I have not read any posts yet , I hope no one has suffered any damage due to this lovely weather we are having and that you are all well.
Woke up just before 06 00 with a beautiful line and a nice 5.3
I am most impressed with this sensor it’s been near perfect since I started it three days ago , sorry but I’ve just got to show you.

Fingers crossed as I don’t want to tempt fate, it’s always been less than 1.0 lower than a finger bodge and never higher even when I was hypo the other day.

The previous one was good too

6.7 this morning. Seem to be getting a lot of sixes recently. The more I sleep the higher the numbers - how very strange (not). o_O🙄
