Group 7-day waking average?

8.2 this morning - talking of hints, how on earth do I get rid of the dawn phenomenon? :(

Do you think your levels are rising already before you wake? Some people recommend having a small protein-based snack at bedtime which may help. Mine doesn't really start until I get up, so I inject within minutes of getting up. It can then be up to an hour before I eat but my levels won't drop - usually they stay about the same. For example, the other day I was 5.8 mmol/l immediately on getting up (FHTF - Feet Hit The Floor 🙂). I injected, then tested again an hour later, just before eating - I was 5.7 mmol/l!

Yes, I think they are rising overnight - on weekdays I get up at 5.45, shower and then test at about 6.20...
 
Much better night last night, though I was quite high (8.3) at bedtime as I misjudged my late snack. No overnight hypos and a nice 6.3 this morning. No hypos so far today either though I've been testing more than usual to try and head them off.

Good to hear Ally 🙂
 
5.3 this morning for me. 🙂

I may not be able to check in tomorrow until late evening because we're setting off for Durham in about an hour. We should be back tomorrow evening.

4.8 - very impressive!
 
5.5 at 8.10 this morning.

Think the fairy has been again...
 
I was 14.3 , looks like he other two good days were a fluke:( I did though wake up much later at 9.00am instead of 7.00, DP said he let me have a sleep in whilst he looked after the boys, he also said he came in twice to check I was still breathing, lol.

After a 14.1 yesterday morning 😱 no idea where that came from. I was down to 3 again this morning. I'm getting very peed off with these results, hopefully animas will sort a replacement pump for me today.

Wow Sue, that is quite a contrast in experiences - do you suspect a faulty pump then? Hope you get a replacement today! 🙂
