Group 7-day waking average?

5.6 for me, still got a cold so kind of surprised it's that low.

different situations affect everyone differently, while illness can raise bg in some it makes other low, stress is another one, you'd think with a funeral that would push bg's up while me on the other hand spent the whole thing hypo, everyone reacts differently so you just need to learn how you as an individual react xx

They have actually, it's called an artificial pancreas or 'closed-loop' system 🙂 They are not cheap though and not yet widely available

The DSN at the hospital had some fancy schmancy gadget stuck on him (he's not diabetic but was apparently trying it), said it'd cost like 80k if they weren't part of the trial.

Medical equipment is far too bloody expensive, mainly I guess due to the US driving prices up so the few companies can get bigger profits, the ghouls.

Definitely getting that, strange thing is I was 6.3 yesterday, so I was expecting to be somewhere near there again feeling the same way. I guess 5.8 is near enough within the margin of error on the BG meter though. Will be interesting to see if I get my usual midday BG dip or if it stays generally a bit higher today. Kind of want one of those continual monitor things just out of curiosity. I suspect the randomness of the readings would drive me crazy though

Morning woke to 9.8, had a dream about late father, started off well but got stressful by time woke up, wife nudge me and said was talking in sleep. Disturbing dreams always does this to bg, no way to predict it so nowt you can do.

Watching news and can't believe whats said, a banana stuck to wall with duck tape has sold for 91k, apparently banana can be replaced so guy went up and ate it, food banks on rise people worrying about presents for kids at Christmas and some clown has so much money they can throw away 91k, that money would be better off going to needy cause.

they aren't really that random if they work for you but from your other posts you seem like a worrier even with numbers in the 6's and want to be lower so it may not be a good idea as you would see spikes after meals that may or may not shock you, I had 3 teeth out the other month and had a really good in range day whereas the next person may have sky rocketed, I had good in range readings through all my eye injections and lasering to both eyes where the next person sky rockets as soon as they walk into the waiting room xx

Good morning all - a miserable wet, no pouring wet day.

5.7 today

Stay dry peeps

 

[Flower]

Good morning, it’s a 4.0 today 🙂

Waiting for pump and sensor supplies today and the incredibly helpful delivery time update text has just arrived “by end of day”. So informative

I hope you have a good day. 🙂

 

[MeeTooTeeTo]

Woopee do! Another 5.2
That's the only thing special about today so far. 🙂
It's really windy and absolutely lashing down. 🙄

It's a stay-in day, then!

Morning 5.7 today.

Annual review with DN yesterday and when I explained that I had got my BG sorted by carbohydrate control, she made a comment along the lines of wishing all her patients would understand the relationship between the two. Not all DN's are ostriches!

Shows the utter stupidity of the world we live in, I thought exactly the same thing

[SueEK]

Ha

Good morning 🙂

It's a 6.7 for me this morning, waiting on breakfast bolus getting going, 10 more minutes should do 🙄

My foot has improvement! I could spread my toes out a little by bedtime last night and I can bend my toes slightly this morning, fingers crossed it keeps going that way, not much on today, mix based for my eliquid and start the concentrates hopefully on Thursday as mums out tomorrow afternoon so I need to keep an eye on the beast

Have a lovely day folks
Xx

ha is that Bruce or Bubbles? X

ha is that Bruce or Bubbles? X

Bubbles unfortunately, if Bruce were home I would manage to get on with the things I need to, Bubbles is in the bad books with me at the moment as picked him up to move him out the way and he attacked me and has ripped bits out of my arm and hand, not best pleased with his behaviour just now xx

Good Morning all 6.3 mmol this morning.

@nonethewiser my recommendations would be refrain from watching the news (it can be very stressing) aside from a lot of it being fake just made up to get people riled) of course it depends which news channel or newspaper you are reading but generally they are not very good at de stressing folk x x

Wishing all good BG over the coming weeks.

Good morning folks.🙂

Swift visit. 6.6 this morning, after a hypo middle of the night - I never can bolus curries right.

New granddaughter arrive a tad early this morning, daughter started contractions so they did the CS around 12.30. All well, feeding well, so home tomorrow. 8lb 3oz. Babies are the only thing you can still sell in imperial measures, don’t understand why. Go figure.

Have a good day, gang. I will, for sure🙂

Congratulations Grandad. Best wishes to all the family, a nice early Christmas present. BTW, I think there would be an outcry if they tried to change birth weighs to metric. 3.74kgs just doesn’t have the same ring to it! 🙂

Naughty Bubbles, my cat used to rip me to shreds when the mood took him, still loved him, more fool me!!
