You've been having a difficult time lately Steff, and maybe the painkillers have been having an effect. I'm sure once you are feeling strong again you'll be back to the great numbers you were getting 🙂

good morning - a disappointing 5.6 this morning, even though it was 2.8 at 3am

I cant believe that someone with a 5.6 can find that disappointing.

...........................................................................................................

In 6 years since diagnosis and after trying various things on instruction from consultant, my morning BGs are always in the high 7 to 9, but last nightat bedtime I was 8 I had 3 pieces of Bara Brith, which is a Welsh fruit bread, no insulin to cover it, and this morning woke to 6.3.

Conclusion, I need a BBQ or big party before bed at night :D

Me either, most of my morning readings these days are in the sixes and I couldn't be happier. But I suppose it's what you've been used to, if you normally wake in the fours then that's different. 6.3 for me today.
 
Woke up at 12.9.
Went to bed on 19.3...
 
11.9 this morning - not a happy sausage as was only 9.7 last night at bedtime, 4 hours after last food consumed.:( Gutted to be back in double figs this morning after a couple of single figure positive days!!

They say that the ideal overnight rise is within 1.7 mmol/l of your bedtime level, so you're not actually that far out from this ideal 🙂 The trick is to get those bedtime levels down so your waking levels will also be better.

Often you will find that if you are very active the previous day then your waking levels will be much-improved, so it's worth trying to get some regular exercise in each day - the effects last far beyond the exercise period itself 🙂

Goodness! What did you treat it with? (I hope you did treat it!). 5.6 is very good indeed after a night hypo 🙂

the 2.8 - I ate a banana - went back to bed, I was so tired even to check it had come back up. Only for the fact I wakened desperate for a wee I could have slept through.

Something faster-acting than a banana might have been better, especially at such a low level. Glad it woke you! What was your level before bed? It's unusual, given that you've just lowered your lantus by 3 units, to drop so low overnight. :confused:
