Group 7-day waking average?

In the main yes, but still have so many questions to ask my DSN on the 1st.
 
Was shocked this morning 😉 7.9, my lowest waking reading! I did a test at 3am and i was 9.2.
The bizarre this is....when I worked out how many carbs my dinner was last night, it exactly matched my insulin dose on a ratio of 1:9...was this coincidence, or is this my way forward????

I would say it's not a coincidence and yes, it is the way forward! 🙂 Great news! What were you before bed, if you were 9.2 at 3 am?

before bed I was 13.6. approx 2 hrs before that I was 11.1 which was 2 hrs after my tea...and before tea I was 7.4

I am confusing myself! If the ratio was right, doesn't that mean that i wouldn't have gone up to 13.6, or had the 11.1 jump from 7.4
 
Northener not really loaded with cold and Hospital phoned to cancel my App this morning so hopefully get in nxt week or week aft.
 
Its going the right way 🙂 7.3 🙂
 
Not sure what's going on this week but a slow increase...

Monday 5.1
Tuesday 5.2
Wednesday 5.5
Today 5.7

Normally in the high 4's; low 5's...:confused:

It's great isn't it! I don't know if it's the right way to go, but I have increased my lantus to 32 in the hope it will bring my numbers down just 1-2mmols more, then I will be happy! As I am still going up to disappointing numbers when i eat, I know this is due to not enough novorapid, but my logic tells me the lantus will bring down my fasting figure, and i can work on the rapid.
