Group 7-day waking average?

6.2 🙂 and latest clinic booked for the 11 of Sept, so blood test this Thursday, so hope my hard work and daily results will be borne out, and I really want a doughnut :/

Good luck, hope you get your doughnut!
 
Morning 5.6 for me this morning which would be nice if it weren't for the high I keep cracking at 5pm...oh silly Lantus how I love you 🙄
 
Mornin all. 6.4 today - 13 (units of Lantus) is my lucky number (for now, that is!).🙂
 
Ooh that's a nice waking figure Gill, have you done your split yet?
Thank you. No I've not done my split yet. Wondering whether to do a couple of overnight basal tests or as my practice nurse who looks after my diabetes said "just go for it"
 
18/08
4.6

19/08
16.7 😱
Did 3.5u correction as my aviva expert meter advised. Went out for a meal last night. Had carvery - turkey, roast potatoes, yorkshire pud, cauliflower, broccoli, cranberry sauce, apple sauce, mint sauce, gravy - all very nice & bloused for but.........had apple pie & cream after & no bolus partly because I'm frightened of insulin stacking - didn't know I was going to have a dessert.

I don't like stacking either, Gill. I don't particularly like guesstimating doses when I eat out...find it hard to relax afterwards. 🙄

I'd just go for it probably, but then I like an experiment 🙂. That said I know I need less insulin at night so half the problem is already solved. Good luck when you take the plunge :D
 
6.4 this morning, then 2 hours after lunch and a very busy day I tested again and was 6.2, so seems pretty good compared to my 9.5 to 11.5 I was regularly until a few months ago 🙂
 
Morning all, 5.1 for me this morning 🙂
 
Hiya. 3.6 for me. Wish the sun would come out! 🙂
 
Good morning - 9.6
