Group 7-day waking average?

Good evening all. 7.9 @ 7.53am

Watched The Food Hospital yesterday and was freaked out. I didn't know that could happen! Some of the worst photos I've seen and I thought I'd seen them all. :( Interesting about the Newcastle diet, that man went from 8.something to 3.9 which they said was good. I'd have thought that was a bit low and 8.something not bad, they said it was very bad so dunno what they'd say about my friend in Plymouth's 31 then! They gave him the shakes plus some veggies to eat but it wasn't long term. They said he'd reversed his type 2 and can now just follow low carb. He lost over two stones in a very short time. 🙂 Very inspiring.
 
Morning all,
A 5.6 for me today, its raining Ugh!
We are due to see grandson today and it all works better when we can get outside!

Oh well, it will be good to see him anyway.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning. Been up since the crack so a rather highish 6.9. Off for our first visit to the Lake District since February. Setting off early to beat the crowds, hopefully! The forecast is good, sunny intervals and very little chance of rain. Mind you, we are going to the Borrowdale Valley, supposedly the wettest place in England! Off to prepare our picnic now. Have a glorious day. 🙂
 
Bonjour! 5.9 this morning.

And apparently it’s going to be pelting down all day. If that’s the case then I probably won’t bother going to the National Gallery today even though I’ve got a ticket.
 
07/07/20 23:14 BS 5.3 🙂

Then I ate just before midnight Levemir & overnight fast for blood tests at 12:30 today. after eating BS was fine at 7.2 at 01:28 08/07/20 today but, I decided to test again to keep an eye on things while still fasting! It a good thing I did too as I literally just posted last paragraph above, 06:35 BS 3.5! 😱 Whoah! That’s a BIG drop, didn’t feel anything, quickly guzzled half oatcake & 1 jelly baby & JUST started to feel my heart racing as I feel the hypo NOW: can just about keep typing as a little of the hypo shakes are starting!

So, a rather hasty Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day while I can still type!😉

I’ll be ok so, don’t worry: I’ll post when I can; shakes are bad now & can’t type anymore!😱
 
5.5 this morning, but still with increased basal rate.
Starting to feel better now, after sleeping through most of yesterday.

Damp and drizzly here. Another slow day planned perhaps with a bit of weaving.
Enjoy Borrowdale @eggyg , Happy memories of family holidays there.
 
That’s a rapid drop @Lanny. Take care and chew those JBs. It makes them work more quickly.
Looking forward to hearing you are back up.
 
Morning All,

Today's reading for me is 5.5
 
06:56 BS 4.1 & shakes have stopped, heart rate starting to come down. Will keep on testing & will break my fast if I need to: cholesterol tests will not be as clear but, all the others, kidney, liver, thyroid etc, should be fine! 🙄 I think BS will rise a bit more now once the oatcake kicks in?🙄
 
Morning all, a more respectable 5.3 here. After a day of highs and crashes yesterday, I ditched my basal cartridge for a new one, and that seems to have sorted me out. My pen lives on my bedside table, and had been there all through the last heatwave. (remember that a couple of weeks ago? I'd forgotten, til I thought about it)

Take care @Lanny
 
Morning

Well bit of an odd one for me, was 8.4 at bedtime last night but took a digestive to be on the safe side yet somehow have woken to a 3.9 so 2 gluco tabs down, 40 minutes later before breakfast and only 4.3, head is pounding already and the birds and dogs round here are already kicking off making it worse 🙄

Anyways have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx
 
6.0 for me this morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well everybody.

Not a very good 7.6, possibly the little bit of pineapple I had? Who knows - I certainly don’t!!
@Kaylz , @Lanny @Michael12421 hope you all feel better soon.
Wet and miserable day here today but managed to get the patio washed yesterday so that looks nice. Popped into Bognor and the social distancing and availability of hand gel was very good, well done Bognor.
Very pleased to see on the BBC that at last the problems related to mesh are being acknowledged. This has been a hidden disaster for years and yes I was one of the women ignored and disbelieved with the numerous problems I have had due to this alien body in me. Let’s hope this doesn’t disappear under the carpet. Thankfully I am in the system and under one of the hospitals who seem to know what they are doing.
Take care all x
