Group 7-day waking average?

Loving all the HS's this morning. Well done everyone! Would like to say that I was adding to them but unfortunately not as I had a repeat of yesterday.

2.5 for me on the Libre this morning (finger prick 3.4) and that was after a further reduction of 1 unit on my night time Levemir and waking up feeling a bit dodgey at 3.20am with a Libre reading of 4.5 (Finger prick 5.5) but it was dropping so I had 2 dextrose tablets and a glass of water and went back to sleep. My change of routine is obviously having a drastic effect on my night time basal requirement but still needing 16 through the day! Will try 3.5 units tonight which will be my lowest basal dose so far.

My effort to get through the day without NovoRapid failed yesterday. I had to give in and use 2 units of quick acting insulin at lunchtime despite eating very low carb and being active all day.
Not had any today so far but shot up to 10 after my hypo treatment and it has taken mucking out and grooming 4 horses and a 4 mile walk/jog to bring it down to 7 and not had breakfast yet! Not supposed to correct after a hypo so I am hanging fire.
 
5.8 today

I'm not sure when they were able to restart up here but mu grandad was going back on the 6th as that's when they were restarting (was never a believer before though) I know you weren't going to be allowed to touch things etc and his hand hygiene has always been awful and he touches everything, and I wonder why I've got OCD 🙄 xx

I realised while at church it was actually the 2nd Sunday in July - not sure if that was UK or just England, though.
 
Afternoon all. I'm very late posting today but this morning was a 5.7 and in target all night. Yay!!!
Hope you're all having a good Sunday x

Despite being on holiday I'm awake at my usual time so got up, put the kettle on and opened the curtains to find that everything's bathed in early morning sunshine, with only a few solitary clouds in an otherwise clear blue sky. Was also greeted by the amazing sight of a mass of birds wheeling around and making a racket. There must have been hundreds of them. Is it starlings that do that?

Enjoyed our walk with our friends along the coast yesterday from Fowey, where we're staying, to Gribbin Head. Two hours each way. Lots of steep climbs but managed them all comfortably. I must be fitter than I thought. Off to Llanhydrock (National Trust) today.

Look what the DF gave me this morning, my first for three weeks:-

Whatever your plans, enjoy your Saturday everyone.

I don't usually, i just have a heaped teaspoon. Thats usually enough to flavour my porridge. Hmmm...maybe i should to see whether it makes a difference to the carb amount. Its unusual that i don't actually as i'm a bit over the top weighing/carb counting everything when i'm cooking.x

😳 I'm just a greedy pig then, usually I go 30g although this morning (and tomorrow morning) its 35g xx
 
Waking BS today was 05:20 BS 9.1 after a near hypo at 02:18 BS 4.6. Had got back to sleep after midnight Levemir & woke up drenched in sweat with my heart racing & I just knew it was hypo! Had a JB & ate some oatcakes, about 2 or 3 I think, & went back to sleep. Obviously overdid it a bit. 🙄

I’ve been pretty tired & sleepy all day today & just dozed all day! I hope I’m not getting a wee sniffle? 🙄 I had a long sleep after midday meds & just got up now 17:20 BS 9.5. But, will eat now & correct that!

A Very Good Evening to you all & I hope you all had a Wonderful Day!😉

Oh dear, my sleeping pattern will be off now but, I needed the extra sleep, I suppose!o_O🙄

I might weigh it out and see. I would think it weighs heavier than it looks and tastes x
 
I don't weigh my PB either, just a heaped teaspoon. I have it with half a square of 70% min dark chocolate and count that as about 5g carbs and I have it as a treat when my levels are low enough for it not to matter or need a bolus.
I like the LIdl "Whole Nut" "Meribel" brand and it has to be crunchy although I always used to prefer smooth pre diagnosis. I get through nearly a whole jar a week which is pretty shocking! 😱
 
I use Lidl cheap stuff, think its Mister Choc or something, cheap and cheerful being on the skint side lol xx
 
The Whole Nut one is more expensive but still a lot cheaper than other brands and lower carb if you believe the info on the label and I prefer it because it is a bit less salty than the Mister Choc. Now that I eat less in general and don't spend money on sweets and biscuits etc I feel like I can afford to pay a little more for the things that I do enjoy, but we all have to live to our means, so I entirely understand why you would go for the Mister Choc and it's pretty good still.
