Group 7-day waking average?

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.9 for this morning

Off to office for the start of another week got lots to do need to kick myself into top gear from the off.
 
Morning all.🙂 5.9 here.😛

Got that Monday morning feeling:confused:...no, must...motivate...myself...more coffee needed, obvs.🙄
 
well it's a 7.0 for me today
 
7.2 for me today before an early dog walk. Pottering off to DUK Towers for some training. Breakfast on the train so *ahem* 9.7 and an upward arrow already 😛
 
It’s a 6.1 for me today, it’s yonks since I was that low. I feel all bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning as the evil grape juice has left my system. Did nothing yesterday so back to it today. Have a happy Monday. 🙂
 
5.1 this Monday morn. 🙂
Today's the first time in ages that I've woken up after the sun. 😛
Nice to see those lighter mornings again.

Have a great Monday, everyone.

sure you’ll do brilliantly Mike. Enjoy x
 
6.0 up slightly today. Probably due to a delicious but very large comice pears bought from the farmer market, that just refused to stay in the fruit bowl.
 
7.2 this morning for me following a 3.4 at 3.30am despite reduced bolus. I think the activity and stress of yesterday took it's toll overnight. I also hadn't a clue how to calculate my bolus last night for homemade tomato and basil soup, some cheese, some left over stir fried veg and a Lidl raspberry trifle which I knew to be 22g carbs. I was just too shattered to make myself a proper meals so just ate whatever leftovers I could find. Feeling totally knackered today and BG has gone back up into double figures since breakfast so that is not helping. Might have a kip this afternoon. Shame when sun is shining, but hopefully a couple of hours power nap will reinvigorate me.

5.4 for me this morning. First time I've had three of the same results in a row. Do I get a prize?

I got a lot of 4.9s in a row, then I went and got 5.1 😉
 
My waking was 5.2 - I have been away from the forum for a week, but kept on keeping on away from the screen. My 4.9s seem to be a thing of the past at the mo. as Feb has brought 5.1, 5.3 and one day - when I discovered just how much stress can impact on BG 6.9 which was fortunately brought down by lunchtime. I know it isn't too high but it hasn't been that high since I started testing 3 weeks ago.

Have a good day.

Not sure if you are aware but a 5.2 is what we call a House Special or HS and is considered the optimum fasting reading. Congrats on getting an HS!
Yes stress can really push your levels up, so if you can, try to avoid it.... I know from personal experience that is easier said than done, hence my reading are often in double figures! 🙄

Oooooo - Barbara - the HS had passed me by (new to all this as you know) - delighted to have got the optimum fasting reading - 🙂. And to have a House Special I am allowed - unlike the Takeaway variety! Yes the irony of a stress fuelled reading is that it stresses you out even more. I have been reading a lot, so was aware how emotional states impact, I have tried my best to avoid it with mindful calm but when life happens sometimes it happens. I was glad I got it down though. My immediate thought was exercise... but it was Sunday - so I went back to bed 😉 which must have had a mindful calming effect!

Sorry your readings have been high recently, you always seem to know why though and I guess as long as we have that awareness we can rectify what is possible. I know sometimes diabetes gives us no rhyme or reason.
