Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning from sunny Aberdeen! 8.5 this morning. Nothing to do with the whiskey & water, just a fabulous trip up. The coastal route is so gorgeous in the northeast. Everyone have a nice weekend.
S.
Your not TOO far away, don't suppose you came close to Brechin on your way past? Or did you get the train? xx
 
Morning everyone. Still playing with my second Levemir dose, so no nocturnal dips but woke up with 7.2 that fairly quickly rose to 8.5. It looks like a DP morning for a few of us.:D

You can deal with DP. Fiddle with your basal doses if you’re a T1, or go for a walk if you’re T2. Or, like me, just say “**** this for a game” and bung in a small correcting dose of insulin.🙂

Make do and mend, as my gran used to say.🙂
 
Hi all. Home again, and full of the cold. Don’t even want to go near BG monitor. Have a lovely weekend all

Good morning again. Well, following my earlier waking bg of 5.4 at 04.5am ~ I fell back to sleep 🙄 Upon waking I tested again and my meter chucked out a 6.1. So a rise of 0.7 and thats perfectly alright with me🙂
Hope y'all enjoy the weekend, stay fit and as well as you can folks and take care x

You’ve got me puzzled Mike with the DP advice. If the rise occurs overnight or just before rising (regardless of what level you went to bed on), when would the type 2 take the walk? It would have to be during the night to counter the effect?
I’m interested because I’m trying to get to grips with the morning hike which drops after breakfast.
 
My rise always happens after my feet hit the floor. I’ve never noticed it rising before I do.

It depends how high you go - I can get up to 10 without doing anything, but if you drop after breakfast to a reasonable level, I don’t see there’s any worry really. Bit like chasing rainbows.🙂

I thought the nocturnal cramp dancing might have brought it down Mike but alas no. I’ve given up chasing anything including rainbows so I’ll just get on with it I think :D
