Group 7-day waking average?

01:15 BS 5.5 🙂 Still very decent after being back on normal pre chill doses of al both LR & NR. Yesterday inevitably started a bit higher but, had settled down nicely to by lunch time to 7.3 & 8 after. Then, long sleep after meds & midday Levemir so, no dinner yesterday! Midnight Levemir was an hour & 15 minutes later as I heard the alarm but, was still groggy & dozed off again!🙄 Tried to get back to sleep but, couldn’t & gave up 03:17 BS 7.6 expected usual DP of 1mmol/hour & ate breakfast. Just now after breakfast 05:25 BS 12.5 high like yesterday so, will add +2. Will try same dose 28 NR tomorrow again & if still higher than 10/11 will up breakfast dose to 30 but, I think it might settle down?🙄

New temp. DSN called me yesterday, my usual is on leave at the moment, & he seems quite happy that I DO know what I’m doing in terms of insulin doses albeit Wednesday caught me out with a “double whammy”, as it were when I was hit by the extra effort of going out & not realising I was over my chill: hindsight tells me NOW, always too late as in the nature of hindsights, that midnight LR was already too much; should have decreased midday LR when I kept it the same! 🙄 But, he did say a precautionary word that’s it’s better to be prepared to increase Novorapid in bigger jumps while keeping Levemir the same as it has a shorter effect & try that first before increasing basal: actually makes sense; will try that & hopefully another day of recurring hypos can be avoided! 🙄😱🙂

An early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS: I played the front 9 of opening round yesterday & got -12 again but, in a more conventional way of getting 3 Eagles: JUST missed the Albatross on the last hole: just started the back 9 this morning & I’m not doing so well; JUST missing 2 Eagles on the first 3 holes so, only 1 shot down as 1 would have been a hole I haven’t Eagled yet! Will continue & see what happens?🙄

Thanks, @Snoopyj , was still typing as you posted & only saw after I posted: happens quite often; slow 1 finger typist! :D😉
 
Good morning all. I thought I’d better start posting in here daily again as I have been so lax at taking any readings or managing my diabetes since birthing Eris. She’s 8 weeks old now and I said I was giving myself a couple of weeks after she was born to just enjoy eating whatever I wanted or needed but that’s extended way beyond what I intended and the weight is creeping up again too.
I can’t go back to how I was so I need to start making an effort again before everything gets out of control.

So I’m reporting a morning reading of 6.1. Not too bad for a waking reading without the nighttime insulin. I came off the insulin as soon as Eris was born as per consultant orders.

I’m going to try to start meal planning and get back to my pre pregnancy diet and weight. Please can you all hold me accountable and make sure I stay active on here?
 
5.7 this morning. C’est tout.
 
Morning all,
A 5.6 this morning, it's Friday!
Welcome back @merrymunky and congratulations!
Does that mean we will get posts from you at funny times in the night? :D or do we have a good sleeper here...?

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning All, It's a reading of 5.3 here today
 
Morning all. 6.4 for me today. Still aching, mostly thighs, it’s times like this I wish I lived in a bungalow! Going to pop to pharmacy for my prescription, only 2.5 miles, hopefully it’ll help. It’s Friday so it’s ‘ironing whilst watching c**p telly, eating G&B 85% and drinking Diet Coke” day. Hmmm.....Celebrity Gogglebox me thinks. :confused: Have a great day and for the unfurloughed amongst you, TGIF!🙂
 
Morning

Had a very emotional feeling day yesterday, burst into tears numerous times, this is really taking it out of me and while most are getting back to some kind of normality here's me getting worse and wanting to shut myself away from people more, I don't see a way back for me at all and it's really worrying :(

Anyways it's a 5.9 for me today and I'll be trying to find information on Lidl oats, need to find an alternative to my Quaker jumbo as I can't get them in my town and MIL is back to work as of today so won't be in the other town as much

Have a nice day and stay safe
xx
 
A nice round 6 for me today. Trip to Iceland today for things for the bbq on Sunday, sun coming out and weather supposed to be improving. Last day of antibiotics today so will be glad to finish them and be able to NOT have breakfast. Breakfast for me is carbs and I need to avoid them, I also feel more hungry mid-morning when I have breakfast than when I don’t!!
@merrymunky great to see you back, it’s a great wake up call is t it being on here as it makes us take responsibility for our readings, particularly us T2s. You are definitely forgiven for your extra weight and not being on here having just had Eris, no better excuse than a new baby. Look forward to seeing your posts.
@KARNAK sorry you’re having a rough time again, fingers crossed you can get things sorted quickly. @Lanny hope your referral comes through very soon.
@Gruers we all have times of lack of motivation but keep at it, we are all behind you
[USER=16987]@Kaylz/USER] any chance you could face having a short walk with Bruce just to get you out of the flat for a little while, even if it’s just for 5 minutes to start with? Often the thought of doing something is so much worse than actually doing it, my thoughts are with you xx
Have a good day all x

The call from the temp. DSN at the Causeway hospital WAS the referral: can call for advice now; CV at hosp. calmed down a bit & my usual DSN’s workload being handled until she’s had her leave! True HE doesn’t know me as well but, all the notes etc. will be there at his disposal, I’m sure! 🙄 Good to know there will be someone to answer calls now instead of an almost useless automated message!🙂

Was at 7.9 this morning. I'm currently sitting in the hairdresser's getting my hair coloured and cut. Work hasn't been as bad as it could have been. We've only been letting up to 60 in at a time.
