Group 7-day waking average?

4.5 this morning with no night time hypo so hopeful night basal is now correct.

How long after eating was your bedtime reading taken? It seems surprising that some nights you can be rock steady overnight, but then you have a huge drop of over 10 mmol/l :confused:
 
Good morning 🙂

14.9 - bedtime
4.0 - this morning - had 4 jelly babies then BG was 7.8

Please keep the encouragement coming for me to do my bedtime & morning/fasting testing 🙂

That's quite a drop overnight Gill, can you think why it might have happened? How long after eating did you take your bedtime reading?

Keep up the good work, I've got my eye on you! 🙂

I ate at 19:33pm and did bedtime reading at 23:28pm. Teatime reading was 13.0. We had shop bought breaded scampi (6 pcs)/garlic & herb fish bites (6 pcs)/crispy fish bites (6 pcs)/pasta (penne) - only a very small amount because I don't like too much pasta/tiger chest 2 small slices - I didn't eat everything and left quite a lot - had 5u QA plus 2u correction for the 13.0

Thank you so much, where would I or anyone else be without the forum and of course yourself 🙂
 
Up again this last two days. 8.8 yesterday and 8.2 today. No idea why.

Hi alan 🙂 well I injected at 5.30pm as normal ate half an hour later, we had a couple of onion rings and some chicken strips and salad...then tested 2 hours later and was 15.1.

Went to bed at 11.30pm and was 18.8.....so I do not no?

I did have 2 cans of stronbow as it was Friday but that's it! about 9.00pm.

I have a noticed I still get spikes in the day especially when I am working hard at work, still get 15-18 during the day then can go as low as 6.0.

I wonder if a different insulin would be better?

I do not want to increase dose as I am fairly stable and do not want to drop to low.
 
I reckon it was the onion rings Jalapino, they do the same thing to me. Pity that, I really like them.
 
Cider always pushes me high, I spend a lot of time at festivals over the summer and cider is my drink of choice, I normally have to take 2 units of rapid every 2 pints just to stop me shooting sky high

My waking test was so embarrassingly bad this morning I refuse to post it!
