Group 7-day waking average?

2.8 after a 3.4 at 6am. Not booze related either. Been ill with a bad cold and had 70% extra basal on.
 
Good morning 7.2 for me🙂
 
6.7 for me this morning, it seems the increase in lantus is doing the trick.
 
6.9 for me this morning
 
Woke yesterday at 18.3 at 8.30am. Didnt bother eating through the day to see how long it would take to drop. Got to evening meal time 7pm, and was 11.3. I was too hungry at that point to not eat anything (but would like to have seen my result this morning after 24 hours of not eating!! Damn you lack of willpower!!) Is a drop of 7 mml a good / bad / indifferent result for a full day?

This morning was 13.7 - but after 2 slices of seeded bread with scrambled egg, it went up to 21.7! Dont think i'll be having Hovis seeded bread again!

I am keeping my food diary over the next few days, so when i go back to the nurse she can set up the insulinx meter for me, i'll be on regular injections too, rather than just the evening meal. Hoping that helps as these high readings are affecting my eyes again, and i'm back to being very thirsty.

Well, you clearly do need the help of some insulin for your breakfast, but it's not as awful as it might appear, since it rose by 8 mmol/l - it's just that you were already high before you ate. I've also found that Burgen soya and linseed is far better for me than any of the other seeded/granary loaves, plus in the morning you often get that extra boost from your liver that you really don't need!

Hope your nurse can help set you on the right track to better numbers 🙂
 
4.5 today....🙂
 
Not sure what went wrong, but woke up to 8.0 this morning ;( you think you are getting somewhere then a naughty figure creeps in!
