Group 7-day waking average?

7.3 hopefully getting back on track now
 
A very shaky 2.5:(
 
6.7 -this morning with 8.9 last night after remembering at 5pm I had not taken my basal at 10am. So took 8u then and missed the 10pm. Took usual 6u at 8am this morning and then at 9 tonight to get back on track. Must remember to set alarm to remind me!!
 
9.7 - bedtime
7.9 - this morning

- tea - 7.00pm
- no snacking on crisps during the evening
- bedtime test done half an hour approx after supper - sandwich 2 slices (30g carbs) instead of butter puffs (4 x).

That sounds great! Sounds like you need to add extra bolus's likeI have to for snacky evenings and not rely on that one from tea..! Or just not snack 😛 !

Do you bolus for the sandwich for supper?

5.2 this morning. That's much better, I was beginning to get a bit concerned about all the hypos.

Thats interesting..

Do you suffer lots of hypos during the day?

If you are going to bed at 9 / 10mmol/l mark, consuming 30g of carbs... Id expect to wake up high as a kite! But you are waking up lower than your bedtime reading even with supper.

If it were me Id be thinking the basal you are on was too much for me?? Id be wanting to bring it down to hold me steady over night, either with no supper to stop me from going low, Or if i wanted a sandwich before bed id need to bolus for it. I hope that makes sense.
 
4.4 today - Went to bed on a 4.5mmol with some food and insulin on board. 5.1 at 2.30am and 4.4 this morning.
