Group 7-day waking average?

11.8 - so basal def going up tonight.
 
7.7 this morning but I did "sin" yesterday with a pub meal finishing off with a fabulous home-made (the chef at this place is really good) banoffee pie - I know I know.......so I was actually expecting higher. 😱
 
5.7 this morning, which I'm pleased about as I did a lot of baking last night and was a bit naughty.
 
7.5 for me, and that is after a night out for daughter's birthday. Oh and a vat of champagne! Note to self ' must do better!'
 
3.0 for me this morning. Had to do 3 tests to confirm. first one said 1.6 - deffo didn't feel like a 1.6!!!!!! The other two luckily were a 3.1 & 3.0 so that was a bit better.

This little experiment has made me see that I am waking quite low most mornings so will reduce my lantus by 2 tonight and keep an eye!!!

Glad to see it has helped you notice something Suze, I hope the lantus reduction does the trick 🙂
 
I'm not impressed with 8.5 this morning. Not been naughty and was 5.7 when I went to bed. A bit of an upset tum though so that's probably why. Ah well. XXXXX
 
4.8 for me 🙂 and my readings have been between 4.8 and 6.3 since yday evening! 🙂
 
5.5 for me this morning:D
 
5.5 for me this morning:D

Excellent! 🙂 I was 5.3 - I like to wake in the mid-5s! 🙂

I'll work out the 7-day average a little later. I think it would be good to continue with this so we can get 14- and 30-day averages, it will be interesting to see how it compares with our meters! 🙂
 
5.2 for me 🙂

Excellent Jenny! We are doing well so far today! 🙂

Here are the results of the 7-day average:

For all types:

7-day average = 7.385294118 mmol/l

For Type 1s (including 1.5s) (119 results):

7-day average = 7.582352941 mmol/l

Good morning 5.7 for me this morning which is Brill considering I had a take away curry last night
 
Oh dear, I've broke the record...2.0 for me this morning AND with a 2u reduction in Lantus(I know it takes a day or so to take effect!)
