Group 7-day waking average?

3.6 this morning, thinking I may have to reduce my Lantus if I keep getting lower morning levels.

What were you before bed Lauren? I used to reduce my lantus if I woke in the 4s a couple of mornings running.

I was 9.8 before bed, wondering if it's got something to do with the hotter weather at the moment as that usually sends me lower.

It could well be! A lot more people seem to be reporting lows this year than in previous years, perhaps it's because there's been such a huge contrast this year compared to previous years. Probably the first time in months it's actually been really warm at night. Hope you wake to a nice number tomorrow 🙂
 
5.2 today...🙂
 
Morning All - lowest ever for me - 4.3 although I tested before bed at 8.1 (this blooming heat is making it very difficult to fathom things correctly).

Goodness Faith, that's quite a drop for you! It would be worth speaking to your DSN about adjusting your doses given the problems you have been having in the hot weather 🙂
 
Good morning 2.7............... To low again :confused:

Oh dear! That's far too low :( How much levemir are you on now? It might be worth doing a bigger reduction than normal and risking waking a bit on the high side - at least you'd be able to gauge things better and add a unit or two back in if necessary, and it would be safer than risking a low.
 
Surprise surprise 17.1

I know, because I'm on the mix insulin, I can't adjust very much but I am dropping the units I inject (more in the morning than at night though as I don't want to go too low in the night - and, no, I'm not waking myself up and testing at 3 p.m. before you ask). Today I've played it safe - injected lower units than usual before breakfast, (cereal and a cooked breakfast at 8 a.m.) and I am now enjoying an eccles cake 😱 - gotta keep the carbs up (any excuse) eh ? !!🙂

Still the hot weather won't last will it ? - it's England, after all, and they're playing cricket which usually guarantees a thunderstorm.

9 units at mo Northy - will drop again tonight to 7 - I must admit when I was doing all my running I had dropped to 8 anyway. Had to go up again with being in hospital and on the anitbiotics (12 units)

Did you have any supper last night? You do seem to fluctuate between 7s and 8s or 11s and 12s don't you, I wonder why that is? :confused: Do the morning results tie in with similar bedtime numbers and whether or not you've had supper? Sorry, I've always got loads of questions for you haven't I? 😉

Had some Torttila crisps last night BG were 9.2 at 10 pm going to try no carbs again tonight after mY BBQ for T try and just have cup of T instead of Hot Choc it is a mistery but cant seem to see a pattern.
 
Had a nice wake up call of 3.5 at 5am this morning. Definitely going to reduce the Lantus tonight, know it's supposed to take a few days for the change to kick in but hoping I'll start getting in range but non lows.
