Group 7-day waking average?

6.0 today after a great football but awful d day. Peaked at 17.8 just before kick off.
 
Hello! Sorry Ive had a few days off from work my usual place where I post from! Its been lovely - Done lots of gardening - Shed building - tree cutting, naughty foods and naughty blood sugars, But getting back on track with a bit of routine back in my life... So to start the day!

4.5 this morning for me.
 
A nice, safe, boring 5.7 today. Long may it continue.
 
9.9...:( ...makes me think of an ice cream!
 
12.5 @ 7.25am for me, but I woke up with a hypo head, so I'm pretty sure I went low in the night

Didnt correct and got to work, tested again @ 9.10am before brekkie and it had come down to 7.9 on it's own

Can you think why you might have hypoed? Perhaps your basal is too high, particularly if you came down 5 points without a correction.
 
Good morning 🙂

5.4 - bedtime
9.2 - this morning

- 18.20pm - tea & QA
- 23.08pm - bedtime test was done
- supper was 3 butter puffs with cheese/2 treat size biscuits - no QA
 
Getting worse - 10.5 this morning. Hopefully the script for the Byetta will be at the chemist today or tomorrow.:(

I'm pretty sure all my basals are wrong...we keep tweaking them until i can start basal testing again though

I'm about to email my DSN with my latest results so I'll see what she says
 
Afternoon. 5.9 for me today.
 
A rather surprising 6.6 after a night of little sleep and a few nightmares. I thought it would be much higher.
 
20.0 for me i feel ill this morning i had nightmares last night
 
2.2@ 2.30 AM and 3.2 @ 7 AM 😡 Conclusion pump basal needs a tweek.
 
7.4 for me...

Increasingly realising that the smallest amounts of fat need a delayed insulin shot for me. For example. Counted the carbs with dinner last night (Had a lamb chop - was very fatty) injected full amount. After dinner 6.8, an hour later felt i was dropping a tad so stuck a couple of glucose tabs in my gob. Before bed predicted with the amount of fat (It was approx 40 g in just the lamb steak thing) Id wake up around 10 - 11mmol (Known through experience), so took a shot before bed (3 hours after eating) of 2.5u should drop me 5mmol as 1u = 2mmol drop at bedtime. Woke @ 4am tested at 6.8, woke at 7am to a 7.4mmol.

Im increasingly having to do this and consider a shot before bed for even slightly fattier meals. If your not confident with hypos I couldnt recommend and know its dangerous.. If my hypo awareness was not fully intact I wouldnt do this. So would either totally cut out the fat and accept the spikes or accept waking highs. Just thought Id share the way Im needing to deal with this problem at the moment!
