Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 5.3 here. That's better!
I finally worked out the problem, I noticed my daytime levels were rising once my bolus had run out, so either I was needing more basal, (unlikely as I’m just starting to be more active now my ribs are less ouchy) or my basal cartridge had become less effective. It’s one I took on holiday as a spare back in November, and it’s been down to Bristol and back since I started using it. So I put a fresh one in last night and it seems to have sorted the problem out (until tomorrow, probably, when i discover it wasn’t the problem)
 
7.0 for me today. Out today to one of these weird restaurants chosen by my daughter and her friends for her birthday bash. Looked online at the menu, what a load of expensive rubbish, goodness only knows what I shall eat, might be a liquid lunch I think.
Well done on your HS @Kaylz .
Have a good Saturday all x
Which restaurant?

When you get a diagnosis of diabetes, particularly when insulin is involved, you become a better detective than Marple, Poirot or Brother Cadfael! 😱 🙂 Although sometimes, it's more like Inspector Clouseau 😱 :D
 
It’s called Six in Brighton, not my cup of tea but not my choice
Looks like a pretty room but not sure how they’re going to innovate anyone’s palate with those menus. Still there does look like some tasty stuff on there so enjoy 🙂

Just not the sort of food I like but it will be fine, especially after a couple of Bacardi’s 🙂

6.7 after a disastrous week, gained weight, but not felt well. Oh well time to regroup.
Hope you feel better soon and tomorrow’s another day. Warm hugs for you x
 
Morning all. Sorry I’m late being doing my hour’s Big Garden Bird Watch. A very nice round 6 for me. I was starvin’ Marvin when I woke up at 5 am but resisted. Just had a nice bacon and egg buttie. That’ll keep me full until my haggis, neeps and tatties tonight. Happy Burns Night everyone. @khskel mine won’t be veggie haggis, it’s still running around the Scottish highlands at the moment, I’ve got my friendly gamekeeper onto it! 😉
 
@Robin no nuthatch this morning but Woody made an appearance. I might have another go tomorrow and submit my best hour. Is that cheating? :D
 
4.9 this morning - which seems to be my norm.
 
Thought I would keep you updated as to the ongoing tests to get to the bottom of dizziness, migraines, lots of stuff.

Received a copy of the letter my neurology consultant sent to GP following my MRI head scan. No cancers, age related vascular changes, right mastoid has mucus thickening.
Referral done for head CT to check out sinuses - appt through this coming Thursday
Referral done for nerve conduction study
Referral done for Vestibular Rehab in Paisley.
Referral done for BPBV in Hairmyres
Instruction to.GP to prescribe Topiramate for migraines.

Then I had the bad fall on the bus..

Basically I am a wreck

I happened to look out when I was drawing the curtains and saw a long tailed tit, so I immediately started my count....saw a load of assorted tits in the first five minutes, then...absolutely nothing! I might have another go later!

Hugs (gentle) from me, Hazel, you are certainly going through it at the moment.
 
Good morning didn`t get onboard yesterday all day at the hospital,:( a straight 10 this morning after yesterdays excitement with the DSN & Dietician.🙄 Went to Podiatry in the morning and checked BGL`s before I left 7.3,🙂 off to Torbay hospital on the bus and then a 15 minute walk from the bus stop to the hospital. Booked in and sat down and waited, 1 1/2 hours later got called in just about as I was going to check my BGL, typical hypo feeling.😱 I told her what was going on and just about got into the consultation room, managed to test 2.1,😳 5 jelly babies and 2 glucose tablets 2.3 after 10 minutes. They were very concerned the figure didn`t recover enough although I was a bit more Compos Mentos, I managed to explain this happens very regularly and I still can`t work it out.:confused: They gave me some oat cakes and a banana and made sure I ate it, after 15 minutes retested 4.3 I said it would take another hour before the carbs kick in. They checked my meter over the last month and every week there is about 5 hypos according to the meter, my food diary told them my evening meal to NR ratio needs to alter from 1.7 to 1.8 more maths.:D
They kept me for another 3.5 hours continually checking me 2 Dieticians and a DSN although I was sat down outside the consultation room to allow other patients to be seen, finally after another discussion and a few more maths into the equation I could go yay.🙂 Sorry its a long post but you are my virtual family and I know I can talk with you.🙂

Your having a rough time @Hazel lots of {{{HUGS}}} from me also.

For everyone who is not well or just hurting {{{HUGS}}} also.

Take care folks enjoy the weekend be careful. 🙂

Sorry to hear about the hypo Ted, but you were in the right place for it to happen, and also maybe exercise their minds a bit when they see it happen in front of their eyes. I often get the impression that HCPs think (mostly to themselves, but it can come out in their tone) that we are just being negligent when it comes to hypos 🙄

I hope your levels have settled a bit now and you can have a few days, at least, without any repeat of those plummeting and recalcitrant levels {{{HUGS}}}
