Group 7-day waking average?

imtrying said:
NO!! I'd done overnight test the night before (when naturally, they behaved as woke up at 8!). The night I don't and this happens!

Went to bed at 5.5 :confused:

Sounds like a bounce to me....I would set your alarm for 3 consecutive nights and do a 3am test....you might see a pattern.

I just get frustrated that every time I do it, it behaves!!

And...if I test at 3am and it's say, 10 - do I correct, or is the idea to leave it and see what happens with no bolus?

I wouldn't correct it if it was 10. The idea is to see if you are rising steadily or if you are dropping low and then rebounding high 🙂
 
4.2 for me today 🙂
 
Good morning 5.2 for me
 
3.8 for me.....and had a pasta meal last night!

ok so last night was a bit of a disaster...I went to my workout class and was 10.0 before starting (this is usually an ideal level for me). Did everything as normal, but was 13 when I finished the class.

5 minutes later when I got home, I was 17. I ate a slice of toast and injected the reduced exercise regime ratio, plus adjustment dose. Before bed - 22 :( But I knew I'd come down in the end so no extra adjustment done, I just had to ride it out, but felt like rubbish.

3am test - 7.5
6.40am - 8.5

aaaarrrrggghhhhh!

How long between the toast injection and bed?...also sounds like you suffer from dawn phenomenon, my pump has put a stop to DP with my basal profile increased to counter it 🙂

about 2 hours.

The class starts at 7, finishes at 8, think I ate about 8.15pm and was in bed by 10.30pm.

The 8.5 this morning was a blessing compared to the 15 - 18s I have been waking up with!

.....who am I to say... but it sounds like your insulin/carb bolus ratio is to low you really shouldn't have gone up to 22 (after a piece of toast)and maybe your basal is too high and you might be dipping in the night and waking to a bounce. I would do a fasting basal test...once you've confirmed your basal is right or wrong you can sort that and look at your bolus ratio?

no, I walk through the door at home, quickly change and straight out the door again to make the class for 7. Barely time for a blood test! The toast after is my dinner.

But, I inject split Levemir for this very reason...so by the time I'm at the gym in the evening, I still have my morning dose as my active insulin.
