Group 7-day waking average?

Didn't test 1st thing as was hypo so treated and back up to 6.1.
No idea why but after a set change yesterday my blood sugars started to creep up so changed my set again, did a correction and crossed fingers at the same time.
 
I think both my meters are stuck. 6.3 last night and 5.7 this morning. :D
 
5.2 this morning. Feeling completely shattered today due to ME flare so feet up day is the order of the day.
 
I had to re-test this morning... a 2.4 followed immediately by a more realistic 5.1. 🙂

Tee-hee! I wouldn't have treated it anyway (other than have breakfast). I've never had a hypo except the morning after too much wine, which I don't bother with any more.
 
7.4 - 22:33pm - bedtime
- teatime was 7.3 at 19:57pm then no further snacks/eating

2.6 - 7:00am - fasting - 4 jelly babies & 15 minutes later 6.7

- but then this morning & was also after my fasting one of the day (see above 7:00am):
3.6 - 11:28am - had 6 jelly babies & 15 minutes later 5.9 & had toast for breakfast

Yes I deffinitely because after my teatime bolus has run out I only have the basal working so for it to keep dropping me to levels like this is not good 😡. I decreased it on Tues 20.10 from 24u to 22u so was going to wait until maybe Monday but not really sure whether to do it by just another 2u or 4u.
 
Afternoon!

Been really really poorly peeps! hence 16.7 this morning and just slowly going up through the day...not been this unwell for sometime.

I wouldn't wait until Monday Gill. I would go for another 2 unit reduction tonight but be vigilant with the testing overnight 🙂

Sorry to hear this Ant, I wonder if you have the same as I had a couple of weeks ago? Haven't been that poorly for years :(

Hope you are feeling better soon. Are you testing for ketones and increasing your insulin to help keep your levels down?
 
Wow, this is really exciting! My numbers were different this morning, instead of 5.6 or 5.7 I was....




5.5. :D

This has to be the best grouping I have witnessed on this thread! 🙂

I'm getting a fair amount of variation through the day though. No double figures, but a few, mostly minor, hypos. My highest this week was a 9.8. I guess I'm puzzled by it all because I'm just not used to being this stable and I can't figure it out. I haven't done anything different.

Hi Ant, hope you feel better soon.
There seems to be a dreadful flu like bug going around which is knocking people for six. I've had to increase my insulin during the day by quite a bit just to stay in single figures. I still feel as if I have been run over by a steam roller :(
