Group 7-day waking average?

Morning 5.4 today, Lantus down again and then again tomorrow oh the joys 🙄
 
Good morning 🙂 a low 3.5 again and hardly any basal. Come on diabetes fairy stop causing havoc.

KookyC, I hope the sensor is capturing all the problems you are having and leads to a better solution for you 🙂

Goodness, it really does look like you might be able to leave a couple of hours with no basal, doesn't it? Can you see from the snesor if you dropped lower than this?
 
My sensor is set to suspend at 3.7 which in bg terms for me is about 3.3 and it suspended again for 2 hours. It stops me reaching too much lower thank goodness. It seems I need gaps with no basal. I'm off to the pump clinic soon so will seek much needed advice.

Ah, I see, that's good then 🙂 I hope they can give you some guidance at the pump clinic 🙂 You can see why some people injecting basal have problems, given the number who seem to have wide variance in basal needs through the day and night. I suspect I actually need basal in the mornings because I take 7 units of novorapid for 12g carbs (my slice of toast!), which is utterly ludicrous compared to what I need later in the day! 🙄 Since I went to bed on a 5.9 and woke on a 5.0, I obviously don't need any whilst I'm sleeping!
 
Good morning, 5.2 today.
 
Morning 5.1 today (yawn). Wonder how long a person can be without sleep before sleep psychosis sets in...let's see 😱

Thanks, I'm pleased with that 🙂 Went to bed on a 7.0 after more evening battles with the lows - this, despite lowering my bolus insulin so that it seems that one slice of toast for breakfast is equivalent to a huge plate of sausage and mash, a bounty bar, 4 jelly babies, a packet of crisps and a slice of cheese on toast... 😱 (originally bolused for the main meal+ half a bounty)

Cripes that's worse than Patty, wonder what's going on. Maybe you should have one of these CGM things to see when it's going south? Although be warned it causes havoc with a skinny jean 🙄

Good luck with the muesli Lindarose 🙂 When I was diagnosed I used to eat muesli, until I became aware of the huge amount of sugar in a lot of the popular brands (Alpen etc.). There are some better ones though, I hope you are able to tolerate the one you have picked 🙂

As for my list of food, it's annoying when you HAVE to eat it, but I can imagine that's difficult for you to appreciate in your position! I must admit, if I HAVE to eat something, I try and pick things I will really like! 🙂
