Group 7-day waking average?

Well I hypoed again last night with a 3.4 at 1.30am. I had a very active day yesterday doing quite heavy manual work outside with the weather being so lovely and I probably should have reduced my basal insulin to compensate. I thought that I had over treated it, as I probably had about 30g carbs in the form of fruit juice and a digestive biscuit but was delighted to see a 6.5 on my meter this morning. I cut my basal and bolus by one unit this morning, so we will see how I get on but lunchtime reading is a nice 5.9, so all good so far.
Unfortunately rain is preventing me from continuing with my outdoor activity today, but forecast for tomorrow is better.

@KARNAK
Hi Ted. Lovely to hear from you again. Pleased they have reduced your basal as those hypos you were having were a real worry. Better to be a bit high rather than silly low. Hope the eyesight improves once your levels stabilise.
 
Morning all. 4.4 for me this morning after crashing to a hypo of 1.8 at midnight which terrified me. Never experienced one before. (See separate post)
 
7.0 from me this morning , I hope everyone has a good day
 
Morning

Hair cut tonight, cant wait! :D

6.4 for me this morning and it's a very cold one, frosty as outside and I just want to go and cuddle up back in my bed :(

Have a nice day folks
Xx
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.5 for this morning

Nice cool doggy walk this morning- off to the office shortly want an early start.
 
Morning all, 6.4 for me today. Off to my brothers today as my nephews birthday. Will attempt to get the dog out, haven’t been able to get her out the last two days, for some reason she’s even harder to get out in the winter, if nothing else I will take her out in the car as I need to do some other jobs.
Good to see you posting again @KARNAK, sorry to hear your eyes are no better
@Michael12420 glad to see a decent figure this morning.
Have a good day everyone x
 
Morning folks.🙂 9.1 here. Up with the Tresiba, aGAin!🙄

Great to have you back @KARNAK.:D

Had a hearing aid fitted yesterday...tried it out washing up last night - bad idea, washing up’s really noisy! 😱

Hope you’re feeling ok @merrymunky. I remember my first hypo well. Not a v nice experience.

the hearing aids themselves can be noisy to other people too, depending the way my grandad scratches his head the hearing aids can make an absolutely god awful high pitched screeching noise, drives me mad! xx
 
Good day all on this frosty morn. A 7.1 today. Babysitting day today and we have an extra customer. Baby’s big sister after two days back at school has a bug! She’s feeling better but school insists on 48 hours minimum time off. Fair enough. I have good news, I went out for my first proper walk yesterday, walking boots on and everything, just three miles but it’s a start. Touch wood feel fine this morning and my man flu is doing one too! Happy days. Have a great day and @KARNAK welcome back. 🙂

Thank you. Feeling much more normal this morning but have decided to take a self care day and call in sick. May just call the maternity unit today to chat it over quickly as it really worried me.
 
Pleased to say that I'm back in the 5's this morning - just! (5.9)
My biggest change this week has been to get my exercise routine back up to a better level, so it is good to see the results showing through and makes the aching muscles worth putting up with.-
 
Good to have you back Ted.

@merrymunky glad you are feeling a bit better this morning, I think you are doing the right thing in taking the day off.

@Bloden - hopefully you will get used to your hearing aid. My parents struggle in with theirs in social places like restaurants as the can hear everyone's knifes and fork noises, but if they turn the hearing aids down they can't hear our conversations.

@Robin congrats on the HS.

As for me, 5.4 this morning, been in the 5s for a whole week. Ow after the Christmas highs, average this week is 5.4, so pleased with that. Went to my first ever yoga class yesterday which I really liked, ache a bit this morning, but feel awful, sore throat has returned, aching (general sickness type ache, not excercise type aching), headache, no temperature though, was going to call in sick, but after another hour in bed decided just to get up have breakfast and a coffee and go, ok I will be late now, but I can make the time up later or next week.
 
Good morning everyone. After the mega hypos the other night I’ve been knocking two units off my evening meals irrespective of what I’ve eaten and have been very pleased with my levels. 5.7 this morning 🙂

Good to see you back Ted x
 
6.7 this morning. 🙂
It’s noticeably lighter these mornings, or maybe I’ve been sleeping in longer. :D

Have a good day everyone.
