Group 7-day waking average?

Morning 🙂 tested on one finger this morning and it was a bad 7.8...immediately tested on the next finger and it was 6.3 (and both clean!).

I'm opting for the 6.3 🙄

Good idea to re-test if the first one was radically at odds with expectations 🙂
 
Good morning 5.1 after a hypo during the night

Give it a shake, jolly vigorously and with gusto that'll budge it 😉

Groundhog Day! Is anything else in your life EXACTLY the same?!

Morning all.🙂 5.7 here.😛 Another grey day - it's June, for goodness sake.
 
Good morning 🙂 an on the edge 3.9 today.

Glad to see you have some decimal point readings back KookyC 😉 I hope your new basal insulin is still helping you.
 
5.2 House special for me. but I cheated, I had a couple of fruit pastilles at 2am when I randomly woke and discovered I was 4.5 and decided I needed a helping hand to avoid dropping any lower in the wee small hours. I blame the spahgetti, i'd obviously digested it all by the time I went to bed.

I think that's a valid House Special - you treated the low absolutely spot on! 🙂
 
Good morning Libre said 6.4:D but testing machine said 8.3🙄

Ooh, thank you Northerner, I hadn't thought of it like that, I was berating myself for getting my previous evening wrong!

AJ, that sounds like the libre lagging behind the meter, which I think is usual. Looks like you may have been experiencing a Dawn Phenomenon rise, which in view of what you're facing today isn't unexpected. Good luck today.
 
Thank you Robin. With regard to the Libre for me it often reads up to 2.0 differently from the BG tester whatever the time of the day. Other times it can read the same, higher or low. I therefore use it for trends but wouldn't use it to replace finger pricks tests, especially when checking for hypos or doing an insulin bolus🙂
 
Morning 5.9 today and a hypo drench last night, I do hope Patty isn't taking exception to the Tresiba now...she's a very picky pancreas, very picky indeed 🙄
 
Morning all.🙂 6.7 here.😛

Hope that's just a one-off, Kooks.
 
Good morning everyone 4.6 for me🙂
 
Good morning to you all Hope everyone's well 🙂
I'm just scrapping into the 6's with a 6.9 this morning.
