Group 7-day waking average?

Or reducing the carbs. Be very cautious though - I always give myself 5 hours from injecting in the evening before going to bed so that I know I am unlikely to drop lower than my bedtime reading e.g. if I was 5.0 at 4 hours after injecting I would expect to drop lower. It might also be worth doing a 3 am test to see what your levels are like then - a pain, I know, but this is around the time that your liver will be producing the least glucose so making your blood sugar levels at their low point too.
 
5.4 today....🙂
 
Good evening everyone bs was 7.4 this morning, I don't have a am reading from yesterday as I was to busy being sick! ( Again)

It is a puzzle, a shame that you can't get a half-unit pen for lantus :( Perhaps it might be worth discussing a change to levemir which appears to be more flexible and can be used in half units?

Have already been down the levermir route. Had two peaks to deal with that sent me hypo. I think this was the key to getting pump approval.
 
7.5 for me on waking 🙂 I do believe that is my lowest so far. maybe having a hypo was a good thing! LOL (am only kidding)!
