Group 7-day waking average?

Very, very pleased with 6.0 this morning. I was beginning to wonder if it was going to be possible to wake up in target again with the gastroparesis but I’ve done it and determined to do it again 🙂

Welsh isn't much different. For example, Good morning in Welsh is Bore Da, literally Morning Good.

We were doing the traditional numbers recently (yes, for those that don’t know the language of heaven, there are two sets of numbers in Welsh, haha:confused::confused:) - the late teens translate as one on fifteen (16), two on fifteen (17), two nines! (18), four on fifteen (19). I think I laughed out loud...it’s either that or cry!😛🙄

Bore da.🙂 4.2 for me.😛

Watch out for the heavy, heavy rain folks. 😱🙂
 
Very disappointing 10.6 for me this morning but I did eat very late. Took 2 units of NR and had a Nature Valley Protein Bar (10g carbs) for breakfast and next thing I knew I was 3.7. Had 7 jelly beans and 2 dried apricots and ran down to the Drs surgery for my apt with the nurse for bloods. Was back up to 8.4 when I got there Had a couple of glasses of water (they have a water dispenser at the surgery) and eyed up the gorgeous cakes that were being raffled for the Shine charity but resisted temptation and just made a donation rather than risk a winning raffle ticket. Ran/walked back home and I'm down to 4.4, so at least I have been rewarded for being good today. I have quite a physical day on the cards today as I have a ton/pallet of wood pellets to carry into my sister's loft for her. May not need any lunchtime insulin I guess.
 
Good morning 5.7 on a rainy day, I think the main body of the rain just missed us.🙂 Been to the Podiatrist this morning and they are not happy with right foot, got to go back Monday morning to see the big chief.🙄

Congratulations on HS @Ljc.🙂

Unlucky @Northerner, so close but so far away.:(

Be careful Barbara.😉

Have a good day folks, got to go my truck load of medication has just arrived,:D take care.🙂

I hope righty pulls it’s little socks up for the big chief on Monday .
 
I tested first thing this morning, for the first time in ages and got a 4.1, was going to ask if I should ask the specialist nurse about this, as I had, had worries in the past about similar, so stopped testing first thing. I have been waking up feeling poor in the night sometimes recently, wondered if a Hypo was waking me up. However after having read a little more of the latest posts, I realise that being a bit low in the morning , is the least of the worries some of you put up with. Being Type 1 is worse than Type 2 isn't it? I think I will just have a couple of biccies on the bedside just in case it continues. 😳

I tip my hat to you all for being so strong... 🙂

Are you on any medication for your diabetes? If not, then 4.1 is low, but quite acceptable and nothing to worry about, and having a little snack at bedside isn't a bad idea if it gives you better peace of mind 🙂 Being Type 1 isn't worse than Type 2, all variants of diabetes have their own challenges. In some ways, Type 1 can be easier to control because insulin doses can be adjusted to respond to blood sugar levels, and there is generally more flexibility in diet, but there is the risk of hypos - but that is also the case with some Type 2 medications. All types share the same susceptibilities to complications, so we can all appreciate the importance of working hard to maintain good levels and help each other achieve them 🙂
 
No I am not on medication, my diabetes is just diet controlled, so not bad, I should be grateful, but it being so low, brought back memories of soon after diagnosis, and the morning level often going below 4 and once 2. something. It all adds to my tendency to worry about things. In a way, even though it seems to be well under control, I seem to look for reasons to guilt trip myself. 😳
My HbA1c has been constantly mid 30's for the best part of 21 months, but with me having to have laser eye surgery recently, I guess I have been looking for reasons why I needed it. My eyes should have remained stable, if my HbA1c has been stable, I thought and the ophthalmologist gave a reasonable explanation, but I now wonder if my BG reading is going very low at night, does that slew the HbA1c reading? I may have to test my bloods next time I wake up at silly o'clock! I also might have to give myself another good talking to and stop worrying so much! :D
 
Good morning everyone a very trembly 3.4 has woken me up. Once that's gone back up I'm going to go back to my duvet 🙂
 
Another morning 🙂 and today it's a 5.0 🙄. An OK figure, just higher than what I am aiming for 🙂.
No surprise as I ate more than normal yesterday as I felt my potassium was low. Just one of the challenges of my extreme low carb, low everything diet 🙂.
Generally I'm still feeling positive about my life changes and mostly feel much better than I have for years, BMI out of obese and into fat range, 27lb weight loss so far (that 28lb mark is tricky to hit - lol).
Have a good day everyone 🙂.
 
Morning all.🙂 4.8 here.😛

Dragging my feet walk-wise, cos it’s still raining out there, while Gwennie bounces off the walls, woof. Ho hum, might as well take a bar of soap and kill two birds with one stone. 🙄:D

Great work @karloc!
