Group 7-day waking average?

Northerner said:
Good morning Di 🙂 That's getting low again - yet another levemir adjustment? Sounds to me like you are heading the same way as me and might end up not needing it altogether!

Hi Northy you may be right - on 5 units now. My consultant appointment is just at the right time. Been having problems with after lunch bs and have been experimenting a little. Started injecting 3 units of novorapid and then I've reduced my tea time novorapid to 3-4 units (hope he doesn't mind lol but after lunch 12+ is unacceptable for me - I don't like being that high) 😱
 
All going pear shaped...12.6 :(

Not quite, still a big improvement on the 17s you just couldn't get away from 🙂 Make that appointment to see your doctor to discuss your feelings and that you want to go onto MDI. I feel they delayed you going on insulin for far too long, then put you on an unsuitable regime, then have taken too long to get even to this stage.
 
10.0 this morning, but considering 22.4 before bed that's not too bad! Large alcohol consumption yesterday! Glad I've not got many single friends left, weddings are not got for my blood glucose (7 weeks till the next wedding and a the stag do in 3 weeks! 😱 )
 
went to bed on 6.5 even an hour after a hot chocolate drink and snack 😱 was a bit worried about BG levels in the night ............ but...............

this morning I was 7.4 .... whooo hoo!!! my best morning reading for months!!!

(in March I had a 6.8..... and in Feb I had a 7.3, 7.2, 6.2 and a 4.9..... but other than that I haven't had anything under 8 since then and had loads in double figures)

I seemed to have good control until my operation in October 2011 and then all went weird :confused:
 
Got a 9.0 first thing, thought must be sticky fingers, retested got 7.8, so increased my levemir to 70 . AT 10:30 was 5.4 and now, must go and eat, down to 4.7 and not legal.

Weddings are so difficult to plan for, given all the rich food, snacking and alcohol on offer. I went to one a while ago and found it virtually impossible to get insulin doses and timings correct, so my BG was jumping all over the place. One bad day probably doesn't do any harm, but because we have it drummed into us how awful out of range readings are, we instinctively react with shock when something pushes way beyond what we are used to.

Especially tricky to get right, I imagine, when you are on a large dose and not sure what effect an adjustment might have. Hope things have stabilised now 🙂

It's what caused the 7.8 thats the problem, surely not the 1 digestive I had in bed last night? I spoke too soon, ham and salad with a few chipsticks, chocky bicky (10g sugar) and piece of 85% chocolate(3g sugar) (feeling very hungry) so bag of crisps and some peanuts. 4pm and 4.1 and sore tummy. However, bedrooms all done and vacuumed and cleaned.
Anyone else noticed stomach problems affecting their levels?

I suppose it would depend on what caused the sore tummy - usually with me even the slightest upset or infection will elevate my levels. Also, after a disturbed night's sleep with a few low-grade nightmares (being lost, not able to escape from something) I woke to a much higher than normal level recently - an 8.3 instead of my usual 5.x
