Group 7-day waking average?

Kaylz said:
Good morning 🙂

6.7 for me this morning after waking up with yet another cold :( I blame the woman coughing her germs all around the health centre waiting room on Tuesday, like seriously why are there so many people that don’t cover their mouths when coughing and spluttering everywhere? Nose is blocked as anything and cant breathe out of it, not sure what the weather is like as still pitch black but there was a couple of inches of frost on the cars when we got back just after 7pm last night so I imagine it'll still be like that

Have a nice day everyone

I've got my annual review at the surgery today, so I'm hoping there won't be too many sick people around - greatest risk to my health is when I have to go to the surgery or hospital! 🙄

Hope you feel better soon @Kaylz {{{HUGS}}} Oops! Shouldn't have hugged you, now I'll probably get it! 😱 😉 :D
 
Morning all. A bit milder today “ only” -3! 6.4 for me though, must be all the exercise I’m getting through the night trying to get comfortable! Trust me to fall on my sleeping position side. A spectacular giant multi coloured bruise is now virtually covering my entire left buttock and is now staring down my left thigh. Another day pottering about, albeit very slowly. Have a good all wherever you are and whatever you’re up to. 🙂

I bet if they weren't having supply issues with the self administering injection I would've been fine, it reminded me of that campaign a few years ago, you know the catch it, bin it, kill it one, they actually used to have that on a poster on the wall up there, good luck today and I hope you show no signs of lurgies in the next few days

That 2nd part really made me laugh, we'll say I've got a mask on, you'll be fine :D

4.8 this morning. 🙂
OMG it's now Cyber Monday - I wonder how long that will last until. o_O
More e-mails from all the suppliers I've ever bought from, urging me to buy the same thing again at a fictitious reduced price. 😱

Have a great day.

Good morning Baz here for Ted, the Moorfields Consultant is with him as we speak. Ted had a bad night BP, temperature both up and vomiting, he also complains his feet are very painful. I do not know what his waking number is although his last one was heading for 30, I know this is very high but I do not know what it really means as far as his health is concerned. The staff nurse said they were trying to stop him going into keto something I really did not understand you will probably know. I asked if it was okay to inform his friends on the forum and he said tell them the truth so I have, speak with you later good people and I will keep you updated.
 
Good afternoon folks.
I've not long woken up after sleeping for 12!hours solid. Just tested.....

Take care

Thank you for updating us Baz. Ted @KARNAK really is suffering. It is good that they were on the ball about his blood sugars because if the had continued to get higher then it could be very risky. Please send him my continued love and best wishes xx
 
@KARNAK thanks Baz for keeping us updated, I hope things start getting better for you ASAP Ted, we are all thinking of you, sending lots of love and hugs xx
 
@Grannyloraine Thank you. There was an improvement Monday morning so fingers crossed my numbers stay lower than they have been.

Thanks Baz. Very sorry to hear that Ted had a bad night :( I hope that he is feeling much better now 🙂 It sounds like perhaps his insulin wasn't working to keep his blood sugar levels steady, I'm hoping they didn't forget to give him his injection 😱 Hopefully it is under control now, and he is in the best place to be monitored. High blood sugar levels can make you feel very sick, and can also exacerbate the nerve pain in your feet - I have experienced this myself and it is miserable :( He will have been tested for ketones, which can build up when levels are high and can be dangerous. Ted can experience quite big swings in his blood sugar control, so there needs to be someone from the hospital keeping a close watch on this aspect of his health and not just be concerned with his eyes, I am hoping there is someone in the private hospital with the necessary knowledge and experience about insulin-controlled diabetes.

Update us when you can, and give my warmest good wishes to Ted for a speedy recovery and back in the comfort of his own home 🙂
