😳🙂 Thanks @Robin. I'm trying!
Probably spiked slightly after lunch and dinner but without a libre I can't be sure. So bereft :D
Think I'll put the next one on tomorrow - can't stand not having the graph and my fingers are killing me again already!

Goodness! 😱 I hope you have a much steadier day today! 🙂
 
OK, yesterday:

06:00 - 5.6
11:00 - 6.0
14:00 - 6.6
17:10 - 7.3
21:30 - 5.9

Did quite a bit of gardening yesterday, so ate quite a few preemptive jelly babies, but didn't test as didn't feel low at any point and couldn't be bothered to take off my boots to traipse through the house and get my meter (I have jelly babies in every room 🙂) Will have to remember to put that Libre sensor on today! 🙂

🙂
 
Yesterday was hypo day. OH and I had to collect passengers from Heathrow, in the rush hour, and although I wasn't doing the driving, it got me out of routine. I expected a double caffeine shot and almond croissant at Caffe Nero, and the stress, to raise my BG, but they seem to have had the opposite effect. These are all Libre readings.
7.30am 4.9 waking
9am 8.8 1hr after breakfast
10am 4.5 (Had a bit of flapjack to keep me topped up)
11.30 7.9
1pm 6.2 pre lunch
2.30pm 9.5
6pm 2.9 Didn't notice how low I'd got til we got home.
7pm pre dinner 4.8
10pm bedtime 3.3 had a small banana and a small piece of flapjack.
10.40pm 6.3
11pm 6.7
Midnight 6.8

Don't quite know what was going on, normally a banana and flapjack would have skyrocketed me. I was then steady all night. It was very hot in the car, sitting in traffic, probably took more out of me than I realised, (I always back seat drive!)
 
My caveat for these results is that according to my c-peptide my pancreas hasn't quite given up yet... so my BG control is (in my consultant's words) slightly easier at the moment... for me, all the while it's still doing something I'm lucky...
Sunday:
7.0 - 7.15am
6.5 - 10.25am
7.1 - 12.21pm
5.8 - 4.41pm
5.8 - 6.52pm
5.9 - 11.20pm
6.4 - 12.41am

Monday
7.9 - 8.33am
7.8 - 10.20am
7.5 - 1.30pm
6.7 - 3.55pm
6.9 - 5.22pm
8.1 - 6.44pm (Why?? - so retested...)
7.5 - 6.45pm
6.4 - 8.57pm
8.8 - 1.28am (had some twiglets in the evening and might have got the ratio a bit wrong...)
 
This is really interesting to me because sometimes I see the morning levels thread and think how much better people are doing. This shows a much truer reflection of fluctuations through the day.

I don't test enough to be interesting but it's very rare for my levels to fluctuate beyond 3 points throughout the entire day. Hope that's a good thing even though it's rare for me to drop below 5.9 at any time and I'm more likely to be mid 6's to 7.4 most of the time. I think I've only had about three or four double digit results in over 2 years.
 
Sorry guys just checking in on here now as been at the hospital all day (had another injection for my left eye too but I knew I was needing it the end of last week but left it till my check up so no surprise)
Waking and pre breakfast - 5.9
Just after 12 so 5 hours after breakfast and pre dinner - 5.0
About half 2ish - 7.0
About 4:20 - 6.3
Moral of the story stick to what you know and usually do!! (I had to inject straight after my eye injection and eat my lunch straight away whilst I was walking out the hospital as had to get the bus to get back to another town for another appointment :()
Thanks everyone for keeping this going 🙂 x

I think sometimes it's good to remember that we're all human and we don't sit between 4.5 and 7 all day every day!




Yesterday wasnt a great day...
Woke at 8:10 on 7.7
10:42 I was 16.1 so corrected
12:49 I was 10.8

Thanks for starting this thread, Kaylz.🙂 Sometimes I get the impression that ev1 else is doing beautifully and I'm the only one on a diabetes roller coaster.😱😛 Straight BG lines are definitely not something I see very often on the Libre.:confused:

Well done to all those 'straight-liners' - what 's your secret? Share, share...😉

Yesterday was more mixed
4.7 waking
11.8, 2hrs after brekkie ( still not got this granola sorted)
5.2 pre lunch
10.3, 1 hr after lunch
3.1, 2hrs after, and after some gardening
8.8 pre tea, having overtreated the earlier hypo
8.8 2 hrs after tea
7.4 pre bed
Click to expand...
So, what's your plan of action for squashing that post-granola spike, Robin? I always get a post-brekkie spike, but if I up my insulin I crash (bang wallop) mid-morning. It'd be interesting to hear what you do.
 
Yesterday
Fasting 4.3
After Breakfast 4.7
Before lunch 6.8 (had been eating chocolate without injecting)
After lunch 6.4
Before dinner 5,2
After dinner 4.8 (had a snack)
Bedtime 5.6
Obviously crying all day doesn't affect my levels, that was a good day for me.
 
Yesterday
Waking 6.2
9:35am -pre brekkie -5.6
1:05pm pre lunch -6.0
3:50pm - 5.3
