What were you before bed Di? 3.7 is very much on the edge, do you think you might need to reduce your levemir again?

Hi Northy, I was 5.3 and I had 2 slices of wholemeal toast (one with ww jam), I had 7 units last night. Dr told me to stop metformin while I'm still being sick, but i don't understand why and haven't!! (naughty me)

I've heard that metformin should be stopped if you are sick and levels are high, but not sure why you would need to if levels were OK - perhaps it's to do with the way it works and needing food to digest?

That's quite a drop in levels given the carbs you had before bed. I'd be dropping the levemir by a unit, more if you weren't eating the toast 🙂
 
7.4 for me this morning.

Hi Northy, I'm keeping a really close eye on things - I'll possible drop again tonight, will see what I end up eating tonight x

Next month some time I think, no date yet. They're messing about with the process again and everything's up in the air.

No not really, this type of waking level is becoming pretty normal for me lately. For some reason I now seem to go low pretty much once a day.

It looks like you need to consider lowering your basal insulin, there's always the worry that you might actually go lower. Have you tried any 3am tests to see what you are like at that time? What levels do you go to bed on?
