Group 7-day waking average?

5.5 for me this morning. Best reading I've had for a while. My new Carbs and Cal book which pointed to some previous 'errors' in portion sizes must be having an effect.
Beautiful morning, lots of spring flowers appearing and just watching a beautiful colourful woodpecker on the bird feeder.
Have a good day everyone on the meteorological beginning of Spring.
 
5.1 this morning. 🙂
Still a bit breezy this morning, but nothing to worry about. 🙄

have a calm Sunday.

Gwyl Dewi Sant! Happy Saint David’s Day! Best go grab a daffodil from the garden to wear today. 😛
4.2 for me. There’s ☀ sunshine ☀ here, wow.
 
Good morning folks. I woke up late this morning , I was pleasantly surprised to see it was 07 45 when I woke rather than 4 or 5 am . I have not read any posts yet as been busy doing tests, jabs and meds , so I hope all is well with everyone.

Scan said . 5.8 with a lovely flatfish .
I am very happy with this sensor , as it’s only a few days old I check it with a finger prick in the morning . Finger bodge 6.6 fifteen minutes later san said 6.2 , it’s been pretty good since I started it but today’s is the best.
 
Oops.

Morning and it’s a clickety click for me. 6.6. Jorge has battered us all night, rattled our ancient wooden sash windows all night! Bright and dry but still very windy. Just awaiting my slave to present me with a full English very soon. Pinch and punch from me too and Happy St. David’s Day to our Welsh contingent. 🙂
@Kaylz I’ll post my cauli soup on the Food section. It is delicious and a firm family favourite.🙂
 
Good morning to you. Oh dear, I did not have much to eat last evening but I was violently sick several times during the small hours. Honestly thought of moving my bed into the bathroom! Don't know what it was that caused all of this. Anyway - close your eyes - 16.9.

Sounds like a stomach bug or something Michael :( That sort of experience is bound to elevate your levels as it's far from normal, and very physical and stressful 😱 :( Hope you feel much better soon and have a decent night tonight 🙂
 
Happy St David’s Day.
Seems calm weather wise here today.

6.6. I’ve played with my basal and it seems a lot steadier in the night and lower in the morning which is good flat fish libre too.

Have a good day.

Good morning 9.8 increased Basal to 20 units overnight but still quite high. :confused:😡 Suns out for a minute but very dark clouds approaching from the north in fact they are overhead now heading out to sea.🙄 White rabbit day, St. David's day, start of spring day, yeah right, miserable sod ain`t I.:D

Congratulations on HS @Kaylz. 🙂

Oh dear, Michael, I hope you feel better soon. My blood sugars always go through the roof if I get a stomach bug. (Somehow, 'liking' your post didn’t seem appropriate, so I thought I'd reply instead!)
 
I have not eaten all day - just can't. My BS is still 13.2 and I do not want to eat dinner. Can I just take my usual 15 units of basal Toujeo and not eat? My understanding, which is not great as you all know, is that basal is just a 'background' insulin and does not act like NR for instance, so am I safe in just taking the Toujeo without any food? Thanks.

yes you can just take your Toujeo but have you taken any NR today to get those levels down? xx
 
No Kaylz I have not eaten at all and therefore no NR. I was hoping that my walking with the dogs would help bring my morning reading down and it did - but not by much.

You don't have to eat to have NR though as it's used for corrections too and I'd certainly be correcting a reading of over 13 with NR xx
