Group 7-day waking average?

09:05 BS 6.1. Ok with that! 🙂 Slept quite well last night & slept in this morning! Sun is up & it looks quite nice out there! 🙂 Think I’ll sit in the conservatory for a bit after breakfast & soak up some vitamin D, as @mikeyB would say! 🙄🙂

A quite late, from a slugabed that slept in, Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 It’s the start of a new week! Enjoy the sunshine, if you have any, &, if not, stay sunny on the inside! :D Gosh! Just realised! I haven’t said THAT in quite some time: I quite missed that “sunny on the inside” feeling; it’s really nice to have it back! 😛:D😎
 
Woken to a 6.3 this morning. Feel pretty ropey. I’m not a morning person but the last few days I’ve felt especially groggy and headachy on waking.

Off to spend some time with my 6 month old niece today. Always bittersweet but I love her and she’s family. It’s the Facebook pictures from a colleague’s baby shower yesterday that hurts, 6 of the pregnant women from work all lined up in a photo blooming and beaming. I’m sure they do it to spite me!! Or they don’t even give me a second thought before posting these pictures yet I’m not allowed to be jealous or upset about it. They have no idea. None at all.
 
Good morning 7.9 for me
 
6.9 for me this morning, no idea why.

Congrats on the HS @Hazel

Have a nice holiday @Stitch147

Well done on the weight loss @emmgeo.

Hugs @merrymunky, they do not understanding how you feel, but you have everyright to feel upset by it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Well after my flu bug I did manage to run almost 11k yesterday so pleased with that, nose was nice and clear outside and for most of the day, but during the evening it blocked up again so now I am back with a blocked nose and ears again, if only I could take my desk outside maybe I would feel better, I have tried allergy tablets but they have not done any good. I have a docs appointment for something else today so I am going to squeeze that into the conversation as I have had it for nearly 4 week now.

Good morning all🙂

Finessed an HS this morning:D Woke at 6.30 for a wee, checked my BG which was 4.0. One Jelly Baby consumed, and 5.2 on waking at 9.25.

Neat.🙂

All those readings are blood tests. I had a first on Saturday with the Libre. Just had a shower, then got the kit set up, and dropped the applicator on the floor. An audible click, and the sensor flipped out and landed sticky side down on the carpet. £47 down the tubes. It was, of course, my last sensor, so after I phone Abbott it will be the weekend before I’m back in the 21st century. Boo.:(

My debit card expired, so got a new one. Today, I’ll be spending all my time ringing or electronically changing regular payments. I’ve done Amazon and the National newspaper so far. Still got Tesco, Private Eye, History Today, New Scientist, RSPB....oh, and I’ve got to teach my phone the new card for Apple Pay. Cards are convenient, but when they expire they are a right pest.:confused:

At least Abbott never store your card number.

Have a good day, folks, the weather will be grand by the end of the week.🙂

I'll take that as being a good sensor. Fingers crossed it stays like it.

I doubt it, it was entirely my fault. I won’t bother asking them for that reason. The money doesn’t bother me.

Glad it’s not just me, I dropped my last applicator into the washbasin, and heard that sickening click as the whole thing deployed. I can't expect Abbott to pay for my own stupidity, maybe I should do it over a cushion next time, but I need to see in the bathroom mirror exactly where I’m placing it.

Sounds good fun, what particular mountain range are you climbing?

The Dolomites, well, not the sharp pointy bits, just the foothills. The sharp pointy bits are reminiscent of my Libre trace after breakfast, haven’t quite got it sorted yet. The rest of the day is fine, hypos warded off with swigs of a hideous orange concoction from the local Spar, by the name of Gatorade, as soon as the arrow points downwards.

Beautiful, we stayed in the Dolomites 20 years ago at Lake Molveno, we weren’t really into climbing hills then but we had a go, I don’t think we got too far as didn’t even have the proper kit but we came back down on the ski lifts, they were scarier than the climb! Enjoy the rest your holiday and hope the old D behaves itself, you don’t want to be swagging too much Gatorade! Yuk! 😱

Sounds like you got all my glucose yesterday! 😱 🙄 Hope things improve today 🙂

They did improve, so typical, after setting a tbr went low around 10am, 3.4 so needed glucose to bring back up.

I'm having a similar situation. Overnight rise to 12.8 this morning. Something must have changed, or gone wrong somewhere.
Fresh Levemir cartridge, raising basal dosage again, Humalog to chase down to a reasonable level.
With glucose this high I don't need to eat any carbs today. Just bolus for what D'fairy brings.

Yep very annoying mate, bloods have been good for weeks but last night struggled to keep them within range, no idea what the cause was as bloods are back to normal since hypo.

Good luck at getting yours sorted, perseverance is the name of the game, not like we have much choice.
 
Hi folks don`t know how much longer I can stay up. 1.9 this morning now 5.2 , I`m with Hazel on this one, well done. Got a bit of Greek music on board, my favourite take care all of you my friends, speak with you tomorrow.
 
Well my last 4 days fasting readings have been 3.6 11.0 3.6 and 3.2 this morning so it is looking like my Levemir may need to be cut back to 10 units. Felt really shaky yesterday and this morning with heart pounding in my chest and have felt washed out pretty much all day today but I've gone from one extreme to an other. Took 2 jelly beans and 2 dried apricots to bring me up to 5.7 which I felt was a good hypo treatment, then decided that I wouldn't have any NR before my breakfast omelette and salad since no appreciable carbs and I had woken up low. Went out for a brisk walk and 2.5hrs after breakfast I was up to 10.7 and have been between 10 and 13 the rest of the day despite using NR to the best of my ability. Starting to feel stressed and losing control of my diet now because things are not going well. Roll on my DAFNE course!
