Group 7-day waking average?

3mmol would be its 20% margin for a 15 but keep an eye on it,

hopefully solved this part of the problem. Noticed that sensor is only hanging on by a quarter or third of the sticky pad. Rang Abbott to see if that could cause the difference in readings with it not being secure, although seems only to be mornings. They said it could be but will replace the sensor as its coming off with 4 days left to go. Now just waiting for DSN to call.x

Great to hear that they are replacing it for you! Keep me updated how your chat with the DSN goes if you don't mind my lovely xx
 
Er evening all as Mr Dixon of dock green would say...
Don't know what happened, was meant to post after my run but went straight into the shower and out to Aldi. Just back from daughters, painting nearly finished hooray!
Anyhoo it was a 5.9 at 5 am this morning.
Have just read through a busy day of posting the noo! I am married to an Edinburgh lass so I know a little of accents.
Also my dad was from Cowie in Stirlingshire so I almost qualify ... 🙄
Have a blessed evening,
Snowwy
 
Well just back from the opticians, been out since 6.40 this morning and am pooped. Am £670 lighter in my bank account, so much for the quote of £502. Had to change the choice of sunglasses as frames were too big for my prescription apparently and the woman who had quoted me hadn’t included the price of the frames etc etc. I had a good moan at them but they had added every discount they could. To be fair they were so patient and helpful but it’s daylight robbery to have to pay so much for something that I can’t live without. Same old story ‘you have a very strong astigmatism, unusual prescription’ yawn yawn!
Anyway am now enjoying a well deserved small glass of rose, hubby is cooking tea and had a nice time with my daughter who helped me choose the frames, well affirm what I had already chosen.
Tested out of curiosity and 5.7.

Will do. Am upping Tresiba tonight anyway to try. Levels have been all over the place, correcting at lunch but shooting high again soon after and high levels needing correcting at tea time. Am consoling myself (and bolusing for) a slice of low carb chocolate cheesecake and cream . Thanks for answering and being supportive today x

And my slice is on the way I presume? haha, nae bother my lovely, anytime 🙂 xx
 
Morning folks 6.4 today. Very dark, windy and wintery looking out there and a naff day in store for most of us I think. Got one of the docs to have a look at a small lesion on my face yesterday and he believes it is another BCC, damn it, that’s no. 3. My doc said she will refer me on that basis but long wait times, as everywhere.
Have a good day everyone x
 
Very gloomy, wet and strong winds forecast today.

Just had a 5.1

My Heart Failure Nurse is on holiday so was very particular that I should tell my GP I needed bloods on 31 August, at worst one day either side. We’d both forgotten that’s a bank holiday. It wasn’t easy but managed to get an appointment for Tuesday 1st. She’s tweaking my BP med as they put me on a new one in the hospital and my kidney function/electrolytes need monitoring.

No I go to Boots, I wouldn’t touch specsavers with a barge pole

I’ll be moving away from Specsavers having been satisfied for many years. I’m hoping there won’t be an argument when I ask for a refund. £287 for a pair of glasses that give me eye strain and a headache isn’t acceptable. I’ve been there five times now to try to get it right.

Interesting @SueEK you talk of astigmatism, I used to have that but went and had a check for lazer vision which they said they could do as astigmatism is one of the easiest to fix. Had it done more than 12 years ago and only wear low strength readers (because of my age!) Obviously having just bought glasses now is not the time, but perhaps next time round it might be worth looking into, the test is usually free.

Morning all,
Awake today and 5.7 on the meter this morning.
A bit wild outside so I might give the gardening a miss!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning everyone. Wet and windy here as well.
Well its 11.8 for me this morning after yesterdays high spikes and corrections not really working. Been up most of the night needing toilet due to high levels. Corrected again this morning, despite increasing basal last night. Hope DSN rings me back today.
Have a good day everyone, try not to get too wet.

Morning

So Bruce brought some shopping up yesterday, minus the Club biscuits as apparently they aren’t at his, they were on a shopping list in June and I was told at the time they were got, he’s insisting he hasn’t eaten them yet is offering to pay for new ones, guilty conscious me thinks! Never mind, edited the Morrisons delivery due tomorrow and added them!

Grandad left after tea last night and he’d dropped a petits pois on the chair, I forgot to pick it up when I noticed it so guess where it ended up? Bubbles’s belly!

Bruce's mum not too keen on work today, atrocious weather forecast and they have outside learning (obviously as that's the way things are being done with the current situation) so I hope for their sake it isn't too bad

@freesia remember any Tresiba changes can take 3 days so you won't see instant results with that increase, hope things settle for you soon

Whoever sent the DF my way forgot to put their return address but they are very welcome to have her back, i was in the 9's last night

Anyways 9.2 at bedtime, didn't correct and was 4.9 before breakfast, don't know if dinner injection just didn't absorb well or what but I certainly don't want a repeat!

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx
 
Morning all and 4.8 for me.

Rather damp outside.
Visit to the vampires went well. Second in the queue just as they were opening up so in and out in a flash.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all. 🙂 4.7 here.

What a filthy day - a ‘slabog’ day in Pembrokeshire Welsh. I don’t think my neighbour’s builders’ll be up on their scaffolding today...unless they’re learning to fly!😱

@Kaylz just wanted to say thanks for all the support and information you give us all - much appreciated.🙂

Btw, I find a Tresiba dose change takes 2 days to have an effect. What’s other people’s experience?

Morning all, 7.1. Was in the 5s at bedtime, so stupidly decided to give my consultant's advice (to go to bed in the 5s and reduce basal) another shot. I knew it wouldn’t work, it didn’t work the first time I tried it either. I just felt I should give it a couple of goes so I can tell her it didn’t work.
