Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.3 here. The first few days on holiday, with altitude and more exercise to cope with, I had to reduce insulin quite a lot. Then I acclimatised, and insulin needs went back to normal. Now I’m home, I’ve been struggling with high levels, and it’s only just occurred to me that I need to raise my insulin doses until I’ve acclimatised back the other way. (It’s only taken me ten years to work this out)
 
Good morning everyone. According to my Libre I'm 4.5 and going down, but finger prick says 7.5 and I trust that more so I've just done a small correction. I'm not sure if I said but my friend has asked for an "Amanda original painting" for her 50th birthday even though she knows that my painting is very basic and I've only painted two things in the last 35 years. But I have taken on the challenge and will start the painting today 🙂

Morning Folks,

Reporting a 7,4 this morning.

Been dog walking now trying to find my list of things to pack for my Turkey trip. Fortunately I only need to pack my hand luggage as wife is in charge of the cases until it’s time to wheel them through to airport check in.
 
Morning all. A 6.9 on the finger pricker, haven’t plugged myself into my sensor yet after last weekends shenanigans. Might pluck up the courage before my sojourn up to Glasgow on Saturday. Didn’t get our promised walk yesterday as Mr Eggy was a bit under the weather, nothing serious, just a dicky tummy. Those pesky grandkids! I appear to have the constitution of an ox and never get the kids bugs etc. But to be fair I don’t know how I would know, what with me being a martyr to my bowels! :D And on that note, have a great day everyone. 🙂

Enjoy your hols and if you’re anything like my hubby, wheeling the suitcases through the airport is the only thing you/he does towards the holiday! I bet your wife has even vacuumed her way out of the house too, or is that just me? 😉

Woot woo! 😉 xx
 
Morning guys 🙂

Haven't posted in here in about a week as felt pretty rough as bloods have been running higher than I'm used to, hit an 11.5 pre meal at tea time the other night and no idea why, did up my Tresiba due to former patterns 3 days ago though and had a pretty good day yesterday so hopefully it's fixed (for a while at least 🙄)

6.4 for me this morning and just having 2nd coffee of the day before I jump in the shower and prep my arm well for the sensor change, has been a bit off since day 11 on and off but not worth reporting lol

Still stuck on what to get for Bruce's Christmas but bought my mum another couple of books yesterday on eBay that she can have as part of her birthday in October and also bought Bubbles a wee toy, will upload a pic when it arrives! :D

Have a good day my lovelies! :D
xx
 
Slept in late, and it's 5.8 this morning for me.

Good morning all🙂

Had a stonking hypo before bed last night, but corrected that and woke on 7.2, after a nice straight line overnight. The joys of T1 and a Libre. Learned how to gobble enough even as the brain cells go into hibernation. (With the assistance of test strips). But with test strips you never see the spikes.

Right, that’s the Libre advertising finished. My computer went into hospital yesterday for emergency treatment. Suspected hardware fault. Which bit of hardware is misbehaving I don’t know, but I suspect it’s a RAM failure or disconnect. Sheep farmers get that problem as well, I’m told.

On top of that, Openreach’s engineer Siraj is calling today to fettle my enfeebled fibre broadband, but I think that’s a simpler problem of a new router needed. Maybe.🙄

Modern problems, outside my skill set or education.:confused:

Have a good day, everyone. It’s raining, thank goodness, but should stop tomorrow for my retinal screening. It’s always sunny for that:D

Good luck with retinal screening. Hope there is a short lived cloudy spell right on cue.

Stop saying bad wards Kaylz....Xmas grrr. I am not getting into the commercial trap this year. I usually have more than a bit done and a Tin of savings. I have bought a Steven brown tin of shortbread for my daughter birthday in October though
 
Good morning all. Joined the land of the living. Been busy and trying to get a routine going. Have been poorly for over a week and a half with the grotty respiratory virus...self diagnosed and treated. Didn’t connect with high blood sugars, thought I had just made bad food choices. Really pleased to see a 6.0 this morning.
Hope everybody’s fine and sorry to have missed all the news over the past few weeks.
Take care all.
 
Had lovely swim at 8 this morning, attempted to take dog for walk but she’s not having any of it. 7.1 this morning, can’t seem to get below the 7s. Beautiful morning here in pagham have a lovely day everyone x
