Group 7-day waking average?

Oops I’ve just realised it’s monday lol.
 
@Flower . Good luck for your appointment
 
Good morning all. DF has been hanging around methinks.🙄

Woke up at 6.30 when I was told I was LO. Three JBs. Woke again at 7.50, 6.2 - job done. By the time I’d got out of bed and started moving around, I was back to 3.8. That’s on a reduced basal insulin dose.:confused:

I’ve discovered the negative dawn phenomenon, where’s my Nobel prize??:D
 
Tested 11.30pm 7.1 at 08:00 5.3 at 10:00 5.8. Time for a few carbs me thinks🙂.
 
7.6 today, but I did have a celebratory couple of cherry scones with Jam and cream with my coffee while out baby clothes shopping. Pressed the reset button this morning, as have put back on a little of the weight I lost, so need to get that off again.
 
3.9 this morning, sensor says I was low for a big part of the night. Had a little trip to a&e today as I've been getting terrible headaches with blurred vision. They think I'm getting migraines caused by hypos :(. Came home, fell asleep and woke to a 2.6. No idea what on earth is going on with me!

When I was Gliclazide I had few migraines with hypos, I only really knew as I took my bloods whilst having the symptoms. I was also surprised as at the time I had breakfast in a cafe less than 2 hours previous.
 
I wasn't too surprised at the hypo this morning as I was low last night and should really have corrected more. Today though the hospital gave me a horrible white bread cheese sandwich, I took insulin appropriately went home and fell asleep. Woke up low and have no idea why. I then went into eat everything mode! Had 4 chocolate truffles, a pasty and a cheese sandwich and took no insulin - I'm now at about 9 which is crazy i would usually be through the high teens

Doc took me off Gliclazide coupla weeks ago, just on the 1000mgs Metformin now. So much better, no more lows.

I have been off Glicliazide about 2 years, because of hypos, and realised after being off for a few weeks how much better I felt. I was on slow release ones, still felt effect quickly.

@Emma Lowery . Ah that hypo hunger , once it takes hold it’s almost impossible to control.
I’m guessing here but it’s possible your insulin needs have reduced.

Got it right this time lol.
Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning . Woke to a runny nose, feeling a bit off and 6.1 . Yesterday my Novorapid needs suddenly increased so I knew something was up . It would be lovely if my early warning system 🙄 could just give me a hint as to what it might be, but I guess I’m asking too much lol.
 
Morning all.🙂 7.3 here.😛

Drizzling and chilly, but we’ve been promised 2 days of ‘scorchio’ - somewhere in between’d be perfect!:D
 
Good morning 🙂 7.2 again for me today. I seem to be waking a bit higher these days, I wonder if it's got anything to do with the asthma inhaler I've started using, since it is a steroid?

Morning all, 6.2 here. Libre sensor about to end, that was a quick two weeks!

They do go quickly, don't they? Although, I've still got a purple blotch 'reminder' of where my last one finished a couple of weeks ago! 😱
