Group 7-day waking average?

I think being disappointed at one result just shows how fantastically well you normally do!

Thank you - I had a very late dinner, after 11pm, so I blame that

Good morning everyone. 9.8 this morning. I phoned the town’s main NHS podiatry Clinic morning to ask about the strange feeling in my toes on my broken foot as I already have neuropathy but it hasn’t felt like this. Talk about being treated brilliantly the clinical lead will see me at 2.30 today but also gave a reassuring message that he’s sure everything will be ok.

I hope it goes well today and turns out to be something simple and easily treated

The lovely podiatry clinical lead spent an hour chatting to me and explaining everything. He said that I had several red flag markers for Charcot foot BUT that I’m completely ok and my neuropathy is only mild at worst. He also advised against having surgery for the broken foot due to me being Type 1 and the risk of infection etc. I’m so glad that I went to see him.
 
I’m so relieved to hear all is ok with your foot Amanda and hope the fracture starts to mend asap, thank goodness for excellent switched on podiatrists. 🙂
 
Thank you @Flower. You’re certainly right about thank goodness for switched on podiatrists. He was the first one to mention Charcot foot. He was very impressed that I knew about it and I said it was thanks to you and the forum x

PHEW That’s a relief.
 
Good morning
. It’s 0611 atm and pitch black outside.
Woke to a horrible but not unexpected 8.0 with a slanted up arrow after an afternoon and evening of lows, not bad ones all thanks to the Libre . The first one took 2 small cans of Coke, 2 gingernuts followed a tad later by 3 glucose tabs, this eventually brought on a very steep rise followed by an equally steep visit to the red zone. 😡 .
This continued through the evening, as I had become totally fed up with the DFs shenanigans, I decided to throw a spanner in her works, I thoroughly enjoyed a bolus free high carb dinner and attained the dizzy heights of 6.1 :D.
I guess the DF has decided it’s payback time lol.

I hope you all have a good day

Thanks. It was a beautiful, sunny but chilly day. There was ice when we got to the summit of Bleaberry Fell. The views over Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite Lake were stunning as usual, I never tire of them.

Wow, I’m very jealous. Me and mum used to go to the Lakes, to Tarn Hows, every summer with her sister and family - me and my cousins had such a fantastic time, lots of great memories. Those views take me back!😛:D

Morning all.🙂 8.7 here - what a night! My BG was up at 21 at 2.30...I needed a total of five units of Apidra to get it out of the stratosphere.:confused:😱 I had my flu jab yesterday- could that be to blame, oh knowledgeable types?🙄
 
Morning all. 4.1 for me this morning. My lowest morning reading yet. Seems pretty close to hypo level though so I’ve eaten breakfast immediately today.

The nighttime insulatard has definitely been working a treat. My daytime levels are mostly under control apart from a few slightly raised levels where the novorapid hasn’t been quite enough to cover what I’ve eaten. It usually works fantastically on beans on toast but once this week I rose to 8 even though I took an extra unit to what I usually would with it. Must have been a wobbly day. Still haven’t had any success with potatoes either. I’m not good at the maths behind carb content and insulin needs!
 
Morning all 🙂 and today it's a 4.7 :D.

Hi. 4.1 is sailing very close to the wind, please keep a close eye on your BG, tbh I would have a jelly baby or perhaps two.
