Group 7-day waking average?

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 9.7 for this morning

it must be the start of the weekend as it’s raining but that won’t stop me enjoying a bike ride and golf and of course my doggy walks
 
morning everyone 🙂, it's a 5.0 today
 
Good morning my lovelies 🙂

Well my duvet set arrived yesterday, bruce currently has it down at his giving it a wash for me as my skin reacts to the starches in new stuff

It's a 6.1 for me this morning, day of chilling is in order as my mum let bubbles out the living room yesterday but didnt keep an eye on him and he got in my room so half an hour to get him out from under my bed, was absolutely raging as I had things to be getting on with, also made my sore ankle which was healing worse again after getting trapped between my wall and bed trying to get him out, might have to put my feet up for once!

Hoping daylight breaks in soon as still pitch black here lol, have a nice day folks :D
xx
 
Morning folks, 6.7 this morning which is slightly better, no monkey nuts last night so maybe that was making a difference, who knows. Had a shocking phone call from my daughter last night. One of my 8 year old grandson classmates, a girl, was found with a steak knife at school and had told a friend she would kill someone. Shocked is an understatement, what on earth is going on!! 😱😱😱

Morning all.🙂 8.8 here...because of a hypo at 6.30. Another week, another basal tweak.🙄

Looks like the wind has dropped, phew - I don’t think my feet touched the sand on the beach yesterday as I was being blown along...😛

Good grief 😱 How awful that she has picked that up from someone or somewhere, poor child :( I hope she has been helped to understand.

Yes don’t have any details obviously as can’t see the school giving any information until it has been looked in to. As you rightly say, poor girl, there must be issues going on for her to do and say that.😳

Congratulations! 🙂 Looks like sensor squash to me 🙂 Hey, we've both got '3 days to go' 😱 🙂

Let’s put it down to sensor squash!:D. I shall be out in the wilderness of finger tests again when it ends, I normally aim to do two weeks on, two weeks off, but I usually crack after a week and put another sensor on. I’ve asked to be referred to the hospital to see if I can get them prescribed, but haven’t heard anything yet.
 
Good morning everyone a lovely 6.0. Because I was getting Libre squash, and I've recently had a lot of overnight hypos, I tested with a finger prick four times between midnight and 7am. The highest was 6.6 and the lowest 6.0. How's that for a flat fish? 🙂
 
Good morning all. 5.3 for me this morning. Bloods mid morning. Feel I might get insulin changed as I am not so regular with meals as I was when working. No stress though, what will be will be.have a good day all, keep warm and safe

Sounds like a good idea Carol, using a slow and fast acting insulin separately will give you much more flexibility, with the ability to do corrections if you need to (not really possible on mixed insulin) Hope you are enjoying your retirement! 🙂

5.9 this morning, so a little higher than I would like, but still just in the 5s so that is good.

Looks like you are recovered from your illness now Lorraine, good news 🙂

Give them a push! No reason for you to be paying for them - just make sure you have those 8+ daily fingerprick tests recorded on your meter for a while, which might mean gritting your teeth and going sensor-free for a while 😱
 
Morning all. Sorry I’m late, I just forgot. A Len Goodman today SEVEN! Rice last night, always a tough one to get right. Babysitting today, so lots of exercise. Dull and grey and cold for us, rather have the frost to be honest. Have a fab Friday. 🙂

The guidelines now include provision for people who have been using the Libre and getting good results, so fingers crossed. My surgery nurse is supposed to be emailing the hospital, but she warned me it would take a while, because she only works one afternoon a week🙄.
What I have to demonstrate, I think, (and this is the easy bit) is that I have worse control when using finger pricks, one of the criteria is that you’ve reduced your HbA1c using the Libre.( I might have a problem there, because I haven't, but I've reduced hypos and hypers, which doesn’t seem to be part of the wording, even though it seems a valid reason to me! But I can only get near my Libre results when I fingerprick at least 8 times a day)
