Group 7-day waking average?

pav said:
Another late response from me :D 5.1 this morning, but hitting the 12.0's and 15.5 earlier. A lot of c**p going on at the moment, one day hitting up to the 16.0's then on others days seams to be fighting the levels to stop going hypo.

Appears I am in a no win situation at the moment, and really struggling to maintain decent levels. 😡

Sorry to hear this pav :( I hope that things settle for you soon.
 
Good morning 6.2 for me which I'm really pleased about because I continued my birthday celebrations yesterday with lovely food and sweet cocktails:D

Thanks Alan not a chance of things settling down for a while, family illness + other probs.

This morning back in the 5's with a 5.4 still in the good range, though missing my usual 4.0's.
 
5.5 this morning after double figures last night of 10.2 - would the painkillers really have sent me up that much? Dinner was veggie curry with cauli rice so it won't be that. Also had an early morning hypo of 3.1.

Seeing the consultant at the D Clinic today though so will get results of HbA and find out if my theory about the pain killers is correct.

Thanks Cat 🙂 Your liver releases a trickle of glucose constantly when you are not eating in order to supply fuel for your autonomic systems - heart, lungs and digestion. Particularly as you begin to wake, this trickle is increased which can lead to you getting higher numbers in the morning than you went to bed on. In some people this can be very pronounced and is referred to as 'Dawn Phenomenon', but it is generally thought to be pretty normal if your waking level is within 2 mmol/l of your bedtime level.

Thanks for that, explains it nicely for me 🙂
 
a disappointing 8.0 for me this morning. I woke up at 3.00 with 2.6 so took 4 jelly babies - I only need 3 but find it so hard to hold back when I'm feeling hypo! :confused:
