Group 7-day waking average?

6.8 this morning. Was robbed yesterday at the vet, just over £91 for 3 months flea stuff,and vaccination. In and out in less than 5 minutes, I’m obviously in the wrong profession.
Have a good day.
@Kaylz hope all is well with Bruce today x
 
Morning All, I was going to say oops I had a mars bar and a twix chocolate bar last night and that is why my level is so high but it is 5.2 so I'm a little shocked by that reading but happy to go with it
Wow that’s impressive Baz, congrats on the HS x
 
Oohh! Lovely; chocolate induced HS; REALLY made me laugh! 😎:D😛😉
Not making a habit of it though (The Chocolate)
 
Bonjour. And a 5.5 today from me.
 
Morning

@SueEK I text him at 6:45 and he replied 3 minutes later lol, feeling better apparently has feeling in his fingers again so that's good

Anyways it's a 6.0 for me this morning

Have a nice day folks
xx

Clearly a mars a day helps you keep diabetes away!
 
Morning folks. 😛 4.2 here.

@Michael12421 🙂 I seem to remember you saying that you go straight to bed (more or less) after your evening meal. It might be a good idea to eat early enough so that you can do a finger prick two hours after your evening meal injection. That way, you can judge if you’re going to go low overnight. It’s all I can think of really, to help you shake off these worrying morning hypos.🙂

Didn’t get enough zzzzzzzz’s last night. More coffee needed!
 
Morning all 8.0 today

Feeling nervous as I’m going on the bus for the first time since March to eye hospital appointment. Double decker buses are running on my route so we can socially distance but not been in an enclosed space for months😱 More nervous of bus than eye clinic! Note to self- do not walk into any trees or lampposts after eye clinic...

Hope you’re all doing well out there🙂
 
Another slow increase overnight again, and woke with a 9.2 having gone to bed at a nice 5.4
Back to looking at any obvious patterns, or putting it down to one of those things such as : colder, a Monday, the DF, ....

Well done @Baz on HS
Some sort of check a few hours after your meal @Michael12421 sounds a good plan, even if it requires an alarm in the night
Glad Bruce has the feeling back in his hand @Kaylz.
Good to have you back @Lanny and hope you feel better.

Back to a normal Tuesday now with Pilates and coffee.
Consultant appointment this afternoon, via video. Time to address my usual long set of questions.

Ages ago you suggested I got a C-peptide test done @trophywench , would that show if I still have Beta cells mucking around?

Have a good day
 
would that show if I still have Beta cells mucking around?
standard C-peptide just shows if and how much insulin of your own your still producing xx
 
5.9 for me this wet and windy morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well everybody.

Morning. Up late again. But it was worth it. A HS for me!
Never got through to GP yesterday about bite so walked to pharmacy and spoke to pharmacist. I got different antihistamines and a steroid cream. Told not to cover it.Then I went and caught it on the sofa last night and it popped!:confused: Not pleasant at all.
Not up to much today as it’s very wet and set for the day it seems like.
Glad to see you back @Lanny was thinking about you earlier. Congratulations @Baz. where did you buy those low carb Mars Bars? 😉
Have a good ‘un everyone.
