Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning. I was very naughty and had a three course meal yesterday lunchtime. It was lovely but too much for the gastroparesis....8.3 at 6pm..14.4 before bed, 20.5 at 4am and 10.8 this morning. I can't remember the last time I had a three course meal and now I know why
 
Hiya woke up to 7.2 which is a miracle because I was 20.4 at 11pm!
Either it was the worst pasta disaster ever or I am coming down with something. Fingers crossed.
 
Good morning 8.9 after LOTS of extra insulin during the night😡
 
Went to bed on a 5.8, woke on a 4.3, on the cusp a bit! Not too sure whether it s unit or two too much of lantus, Or the couple of small glasses of the Ri o Ja...

A bit of booze the night before will often result in lower readings for me in the morning - and sometimes throughout the following day. 🙂
 
6.0 this morning....seems my bolus of 37 units 😱 for my pizza last night was pretty accurate 🙂

That's two entire days' worth for me! 😱 But if it worked, and it clearly did, then good for you 🙂

....It was a big pizza Alan! 😉
 
4.2 this morning and woke up a bit shaky.

Was shattered last night though and went to bed early without my usual before bed snack so not unexpected.

I have noticed my couple of hours after breakfast reading was 7.2, it's been higher than normal most of this week so might have to cut back the oats serving. Not sure if it's cold weather slowing me down or not getting as much exercise due to cold dark nights slowing me down.

7.2 a couple of hours after eating would be very acceptable in my book Allan! 🙂
