Group 7-day waking average?

Oh dear! 😳 Another day where I didn’t check in! Sorry about that!

The day before yesterday started well, if you remember waking BS 5.7 about 08:00, then, steadily climbed throughout the day so, began adding +2 to doses. Then, decided to change the bed before going to bed: due to the HUGE effort on my heart rate & breathing this takes I haven’t changed it as often as I’d like; only do half of it too as I use a throw/quilt so, no need to change a duvet cover!🙄😱
A few hours later, midnight Levemir, I discovered WHY my BS had started climbing in a MOST annoying way! My cycle had started again: pre menopausal & they surprise me out of the blue at times & catch me unawares; aarrgghhh! barely slept on the changed bed & had to exhaustingly, in the middle of the night, change it again! A very rare 😡 from me but, it was warranted!😱

So, woke yesterday 10:47 BS 7.3. Ok ish. BS was erratic all day but, that’s the way it is during the few cycles I have now from 13.8 at the highest but, I know NOT to correct now, because sudden drops can happen anytime: a few hours later dropped to 5.7; if corrected would have been hypo!😱

Today I slept in even longer & only midday alarm woke me 12:06 BS 9.3:confused: So, so smile! That’s what I get for sleeping in so long! But, did I mention I feel tired & achey all over & sleepier than usual!🙄 Already had my meds & Levemir with half oatcake with half dose: was tempted to +2 but, don’t want to be caught out by a hypo if I drop later; so, dialled Novorapid back to 12 units as needle was in my upper arm when 14 was about to be pushed in!🙄

It’s too late for a morning greeting so, I’m going Australian to wish you all a G’day mates!:D😉 Have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS:- only read a couple of posts before oosting & this thread had 2 or 3 new pages! Will catch up later as I’m going back for some more z’s!🙄 & a stream of z’s emoji!

7.3 today which is not great but had good news yesterday that my HBA1c has dropped from 52 to 41 and I can reduce my meds but must make sure my BS is in better control than this mornings readings
will cut the grass later and then a walk
have a good day everyone
Well done, great result x
 
Morning!
A 6.0 on the meter this morning.
Our virtual cruise moves on to ... Dubrovnik !
Ta da!!!
Apparently 'Games of Thrones' country but I have never seen it so I probably won't take that trip. Its going to be 31 degrees at midday so sun protection is called for. Other sights to see are the blue caves which is best seen by snorkelling which would be fine for me but Mrs Snowwy not keen. She is more of a wine-tasting tour kinda girl but fortunately they have those too!
Had a lovely day with my sister yesterday in her beautiful garden discussing our cruise journey so far and the fun it has been researching it all. We decided that when there is some normality back in the world again we would explore the Adriatic for real... just not sure when!
Anyhoo, grandparent duty today so better get everything ready!

Blessings Snowwy

6.0 for me. Probably the result of the roast radish salad thing I made and ate yesterday.
Radishes and broccoli heavily spiced with pul biber, roasted just long enough to slightly char, tossed through with mayo and a little cream cheese, salt, lemon juice, chives.

I just wanted something to eat rather than drink yesterday hence the food. And if it hadn’t been that it would likely have been a baguette and some lovely ripe Camembert
 
well it's a 5.6 from me this morning
 
A rather painful 4.7 this morning. 🙂
For some reason the finger prick hurt like Hades and produced enough blood for a dozen tests. 😱

Stay safe and well everyone.

Morning

Well feel like we may have to start sitting with the front door locked all the time, I was in the bathroom yesterday morning, mum in the living room and Bubbles out and about through the house when someone started trying the door, thought it was my grandad! Luckily the door stuck so they started hammering and then kicking **** out of it, mum goes and it's a kid from downstairs and across the landing who didnt even apologise, just said wrong door and walked away, they've all lived here years and know fine well where each other stay so dont believe a word of it, one of them punched Bruce in the stomach last year when he was walking out the closey door, they have no respect and the parents just dont care 🙄

Raining and dull here so mum won't be getting the bedding washed and hung out to dry so it'll just have to sit in the basket until better weather arrives

@ColinUK that sounds absolutely delicious!

@Northerner did you have to reset your pin? Both our laptops updated and did that to us

Anyways its a 4.9 this morning

Have a nice day folks
xx

And this sounds amazing
 
7.1 for me this morning. Cloudy and damp here, hope it picks up as i have a friend coming round for a socially distance sandwich in the garden later
 
Morning all, 6.9 here. Started another Libre sensor, which seems to be good right from the start. The last one felt sore after it went in, and took a few days to settle down to accurate readings. I wonder if it didn’t quite inset cleanly.
