Group 7-day waking average?

So a couple of hours after my breakfast and breakfast insulin my BG has come down from 16.2 to 14.0. I'm feeling annoyed though because of these higher numbers today 😡

Just try and go with the flow for now Gill - the numbers are providing information that will be helpful in the longer term in helping you to identify possible patterns that you can then act upon 🙂 Bear in mind that the insulin has 'covered' your breakfast, and levels are now below your pre-meal level, which shows the correction is working - and you will still have insulin working to bring your levels down further. Hopefully, your levels will be back to a good number before your next meal 🙂

Thanks Northerner aka Alan, and I'm happy to say that before lunch my levels were 10.3 so I ate and injected then tested approx 2 hours later and they were a nice 6.8 🙂 and now before tea it's 5.3 🙂. What that blip was earlier today I have no idea about, I did have supper last night which was an oven bottom muffin and a packet of mini cheddars but I made sure I injected for this and numbers during the night were 4.7 then 8.0 then came the horrible numbers 😡

Hello All, it's been a while. I've been getting low to mid 5s with the odd 6 thrown in there. But recently when I've been getting back from work I've been in the 2.5 to 3.5's for no reason.

Last day of my little jaunt to the seaside. Awoke with a 7.6 after going to bed on a 6 🙄

Probably pain connected. My foot went into an excruciating cramp 3 days ago and never came out of it. Been a challenge to walk! 😳
