Group 7-day waking average?

Two 4s in a row @Hazel, are you reducing the lantus again? 🙂

I think I should Alan. Visit to GP who sent me to optician yesterday as an emergency, scary! Nothing worse than severe case of dry eyes. Prescribed eye drops 4 times a day
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.8 this morning

Running a bit late breakfast and dog walk then office bound
 
Morning all, a 7.6 for me today.

Phew! Good news about the eyes! 🙂 I've got to go to the hospital tomorrow to see if they want to burn any more holes in my eyes (glaucoma-related, not diabetes) 😱 I've been using some drops though, so hopefully that will have reduced the pressures 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂

Have the task of starting to think about what we should get Bruce's nieces & nephews for Christmas, 2 of the girls will be 11 by then (just got a pair of earrings for one of their birthdays coming up on the 26th) and 1 nephew at 18! Think the girls will be getting necklaces but not sure on the others yet 🙄

6.0 for me this morning

Have a nice day folks! :D

Morning all, cracked and put a new libre sensor on yesterday, (I managed about 4 days without one and missed it too much).
So, it gave me a 7.0 ten minutes ago, and the trace showed a steep upward line from 6am, now it’s saying sensor error, try again in ten minutes. I suspect I've just squashed it by lying on it, and it’s having a tantrum.Ah, normal service resumed, 6.6 now.
 
Morning all, 8.3 today.

Yesterday had steroid injection in thumb joint, very painful despite local going in first. Appointment was 1pm, before going in bg was 6.2 and got home just after 2 and levels had gone up to 15.4, expected a rise but not as quick as that, whacked in 5u and by tea time it was down to 9.2, upped basal by 60% and managed to keep below 9 all night according to libre. Still sore this morning but not as painful as it was, hoping the damn things brings some relief.
 
5.4 this lovely bright and sunny Autumn morning.
Update on the old sprained ankle - much improved today. Most of the swelling has gone and it's now turned that icky purplish yellowy colour. 😱
Didn't do too badly yesterday - my FitBit tells me I clocked up over 1300 steps. 😎
Have a great day everyone.

Should've had a fitbit for my grandad yesterday see what he did, had to send a complaint email to Stagecoach buses for him as the bus didn't turn up and go into Lidl's car park like it should, 86 years old, 1 hip replacement and uses a stick, he wasn't happy at all :( xx
 
Morning
5.3 at 1 week in with the big D.
5.7, 5.7, 5.7, 5.2 previous 4 mornings - could get addicted to this finger stabbing :D

Congratulations on the 5.2 whatever day that was, we celebrate that here as a house special! 🙂

When I have had a cortisone injection I now increase my basal beforehand, as I too end up with a steep rise to high levels. I haven’t been brave enough too Bolus beforehand, but do so as soon as I know how much they are putting in. I have also found I need that big increased basal and Bolus for a couple days after and I then bring it gradually down again over sometimes a couple of weeks. I then am very happy to eventually have a hypo.
 
Good morning. Not a good morning for me. 2.2 and fell over and hurt my arm. 3 morning hypo's in a row. I'm sure it's because of the tremendous amount of housework being done ready for my sisters visit. Either got to eat more or inject less.
Sounds like you need less insulin, or less housework! Offer your sister some shades on arrival.

Well done Karloff. Sounds like you are getting to grips with things.

WOW and only 1week in, I am impressed.

Maybe you need to do a bit of both. I hope your arm isn’t too sore now.

That’s great news about your eyes . Isn’t it fun trying to get drops in your eyes, they seem to go everywy but in the eyes .
 
Good morning everyone. I have no idea why it went up to over 16 at 2am but fortunately I didn't correct because I woke up with a 5.9. It would be misbehaving when I've got a HBA1C due any time. Records won't show that my HBA1C was high due to a broken foot.
