Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Just in the fives with a 5.9 considering what was on the menu yesterday. The garden tea party went really, really well, in between showers, but it was actually the wind that sent us scuttling into the house. As Mr Eggy said, we were applying the Cummings’ variant to current guidelines! It’s the first time we’ve all been together for six months! There’s always been someone at work or on a trip or lambing etc etc, or a pandemic! So it was so good to have all 12 of us there. We have a big garden so split them in half! 😉 It’s his 60th birthday today and it’s just going to be a quiet one after yesterday’s excitement. We can’t cope with too much excitement these days, so a nice homemade monkfish Madras, á la Rick Stein, for tea and a bottle of fizz it is. Have a great day.🙂

So glad all went well. Mr Eggyg must be being looked after well, he doesn't look 60. Did you have a slice of that naughty cake?
 
@SueEK.... so pleased you posted again as I just realised that I forgot to wish you luck for tomorrow. I hope the trip up to London goes smoothly (I know you will be apprehensive) and the scan is over quickly and shows something simple to fix. XX

Thanks Barbara, very sweet of you. I know the problem. The consultant just wants to know exactly where things 'have moved to' in order to get it right. Can't moan as they are literally setting up a team around me so know I will have the best care and it won't be for some months yet. Not keen on the travelling but needs must. Thinking positive - Day Off Work lol x

Hi there,
Mine was 8.3 (which was higher than after my evening meal, which was 7.8)

I’m quite new to all this but have been finding that is happening quite a lot. Would be so grateful if you can tell me why my BG has raised with almost 12 hours of nothing to eat???
(NB. I don’t sleep well and have been awake well into wee small hours, then had approx 7 hrs broken sleep).

Unfortunately what is happening is dawn phenomenon, thereafter to be known as DP, basically you haven’t eaten for quite a while and your liver says “ whoops, I need some glucose to get this body through the day” and then “ dumps” it into your body hence the higher reading. It’s something which happens to nearly all of us at sometime. ( or everyday in my case)! Try testing before you actually get out of bed you may notice a difference.

Morning all

8.7 after a night of projectile vomiting, in such abdominal pain this morning. Sorry to have been so graphic.

Anyway people stay safe

Hope you’re feeling better @Hazel
 
Morning all,
@Hazel I pray you are on the mend...
Don't know what happened to yesterday but it all started when I went to retrieve my grandson's flying saucer from our extension flat roof.
Rescued that ok but it led me to clear the accumulated moss from the roof, then while I was there I thought I should clear the gutters, then as the ladder was out I thought I should clean the windows and as the garage doors were open I thought I would give it a sweep!!! Phew!!!

That was a good test for the back, the knees and many other bits!

So a 5.4 this morning after going to bed on a 5.2 😳
A slightly less energetic day planned methinks!

Have a blessed day everyone,
Snowwy

I absent-mindedly barely ate anything yesterday daytime, and was rewarded with a 5.9 for my evening fasting reading. So in the evening I ate a small plate, literally eight inches, with a small portion of rice and tofu and vegetables in sauce. I felt very full after just that.

This morning I am at 12.1. That is more than double!

Maybe the rice?

Well, a very disappointing 9.1 for me this morning and sadly the first overnight straight line I have had on my Libre.... would have much preferred a straight line under 7! That has really knackered my Libre stats!
Thought I had done everything right. Had a lovely early evening meal of sirloin steak with broccoli cheese, aubergine, brussel sprouts and sweet potato. My pre meal reading was a nice 5.2 and shot myself 4 units of NR which should easily have covered the sweet potato and was rather thinking I might need a small biscuit afterwards to keep me in range... Fat chance!! Prebolussed a little too soon so dropped to 3,7 before the food hit my system and BG started to rise but didn't need any hypo treatment. 2 hours later I was 6.1 and thinking I had done well but half an hour after that it was 8.7 and rising... Gave myself 1 unit correction but continued to slowly rise. Went out and got some exercise at 10pm but still high. Took another correction at 1.30am when I went to bed as it was up to 9.7 and woke up on 9.1..... not sure where my body got all the glucose from.... I am guessing it was probably the protein from the steak at that 2.5hr point. I didn't even eat all the sweet potato I put on my plate! Very disappointing result from an otherwise really enjoyable "treat" meal.... we only have steak a few times a year and it was beautifully marbled.... a Lidl special.

@Michael12421 Sorry to see you with another low number. Hope you are back in range now and no more doggy worries. Does she seem OK after her walk about? Did you have a busy day yesterday that might have been responsible or was it particularly hot?

@Hazel So sorry to read that you are ill. That sounds really nasty. Hope it passes quickly and you feel better soon.

@eggyg Delighted that you all had such a lovely time and wishing Mr Eggyg a very happy birthday today.

@Baz nice to see a better reading today.... I am thinking perhaps you had some pineapple juice residue on your test finger yesterday and that was why you got high readings! That's what I would blame anyway!

@ColinUK Another great reading and congrats on the golf! Can we have a photo of the balcony with all your lovely plants?

They’re not looking so lovely at the moment. It’s south facing so things are suffering in the heat. I need to educate myself on what’s suitable for the space and also need to shift things around to get the most sensitive plants into the corners that get the sun last. Or even maybe bring them indoors if it’s far too hot out there. It’s still very much a work in progress.
 
5.3 this morning - nothing more to add today other than to wish everyone well 🙂
 
Morning All,

Well it's a 5.8 for me this morning
 
06:19 BS 5.4 🙂 Nice! After an up & down day yesterday BS wise: reducing insulin to avoid hypos; but, reduced too much & had a couple of whoppers (shush, don’t tell my DSN) all are after eating:- 10.5, not too bad, & a 14.1 very bad & 2 hours after correction of +2 12.4 another +2 correction 2 hours later 9.3, down to 7.3 another 2 hours later after active insulin is gone & went to bed with midnight Levemir to wake on 5.4.:confused:🙄🙂 I have a better idea of the dose needed for supper before bed now so, hopefully won’t need to have any corrections without going too low with too big a dose?🙄 Last day of AB’s today, take 1st daily tablet after I post this & the last one about 12 hours later in the evening!

A very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉 It’s very grey & gloomy this morning here but, I wish you all some Sunshine on the Inside: where it REALLY matters!:D😛😎😉
 
Morning all my fellow finger prickers. A disappointing but not unexpected 7.5. It’s that pesky rice stuff, but you can’t have a curry without it, well I certainly can’t. All the celebrations are now over so back to good girl eating and a walk today. We haven’t left the house in two days. Forecast is okish, shouldn’t get rained on nor get too hot, unlike the next few days! Wow! Apparently it’s going to be 29 degrees on Thursday 😱 us northerners can’t cope with that! Have a triffic Tuesday.🙂
