Group 7-day waking average?

7.3 this morning
 
6.6 today. And it's freezing here.
 
Beautiful clear sky here in Bucks and day off work so sitting in the sun in garden Was going to do a fasting test again as not certain of basal level 12/13. That seemed ok. Last night had 14 Lantus and woke 7am at 7.1 and just tested and 12.1. Don't get it. Could a cup of tea do that at 7am. Surely not. :confused:

If you didn't eat anything then it can, or rather your liver will carry on squirting out glucose until your stomach tells it you've eaten. Happens to me if I don't eat - well, it happens anyway, but I inject to take account of the rise, so 8 units novorapid for 15g carbs 😱
 
Without hogging your attention on Saturday, you'll have to explain the last bit of your reply to me ! Think I shall be bringing my notebook and pencil with me ! 🙂.

There'll be a test at the end of the day! 😉
 
I'm sure I've still got my reel to reel tape in the loft. Better bring it and record conversation so I can swot up before test :D😱
 
7.4 this morning.
 
Good morning a lovely perfect 5.0:D
 
Dodgy 9.0 today. I took 0.5u for a small lump of Brie. Clearly not enough.
 
6.3 and where's the sunshine gone?
 
Good morning 🙂 7.2 for me today, which is a bit on the high side for me, but I was 6.8 before bed so have actually been steady overnight. Can't believe I was out gardening in warm sunshine yesterday!
 
5.7 today after a 3.3 yesterday!
 
Nasty hypo (2.6) last night and struggling to get the numbers up and keep them there. 4.5 at the moment. Feel horrible.
