Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 🙂 5.5 for me.😛
 
Morning 5.7 today, drenching hypo (I think because I never catch the actual hypo) at 11:30pm and then a marvellous sleep. over enthusiastic bolus or naughty basal...who knows :D
 
Morning folks.🙂 5.9 here (10.7 at bedtime:confused:). 😛
 
So.....15.3 at 11pm, 3.9 at 3am, 7.1 at 6.45am. At least the day is off to a reasonable start!

There are reasons! He was 4.2 before dinner, then had a taekwondo class after that. Taekwondo's effect on BGs is completely unpredictable week on week (his pump is off so basal is effectively zero during the class). Sometimes he comes out verging on hypo, other times high. Yesterday he was ~8mmol. Later that evening, without bothering to test or look at his sensor (wearing a CGM this week), he had a sneaky couple of choc-chip cookies with insulin. But his BGs were already on an upward path (as seen on CGM graph) so it wasn't a good choice! Anyway, when correcting the 15.3, the active insulin from the biccies was obscuring things, and we chose to ignore part of it - wrong choice on this occasion as he then dropped like a stone. I had to wake him for a little lucozade.
