Group 7-day waking average?

[Dory]

4.5 for me, following a 4.4 waking level yesterday. Slightly on the low side BUT I used the basal testing sticky guidance and made 2 minor adjustments to my overnight basal (increasing 0.2 in 2 separate hour blocks). it's AMAZING the difference that can make. THINK I've finally got my oevrnight sorted WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (and yes, will be watching closely and amending the 0.2 to a 0.1 increase in one of the hour blocks if it starts to run lower)

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO

thanks guys. 23 years of having diabetes and I've never, ever been able to say 'yes, if I do X, i will get Y result' as my levels were always so unpredictable. Oh I so hope this is the start of the path to more even readings rather than the haywire ones I've always had....

That sounds so much much better, it gives us a much better idea of what your basal is doing without all those carbs in your system before you go to bed.. It dosnt sound like your a million miles off with the basal, maybe its a little high. Try doing the same tonight without any snacks after dinner. And do a test before bed (4 hours min after eating) 1 or 2 during the ngiht and one on waking! Sounds positive though!

27.6 at 5.40-m and I have absolutely no reason as to why. I've done a correction which brought it down to 18 within 1.5 hours so it doesn'appear to be a cannula failure. I had my main meal at lunchtime which peaked later in the day so i would be surprised if it was gastroparesis.

7pm 14 3 units had 3 small pierces of nibble food eg a very small samosa
10.30pm 20.5. 5 units
5.40am 27.5. 7 units
7am 18.0

I'm completely confused but will change the cannula

Sorry to hear this Amanda I hope that the cannula change resolves the problem 🙂

I was 6.3 this morning.

Thanks Alan. Well done with your 6.3🙂

Wow, that's pretty amazing Benny! 🙂 When I found myself waking in the 4s I would lower my basal because you will generally be lower than your waking level during the night (hence 3 am tests). Are you considering lowering yours?

Not yet...! Ive gone about a month and a half now with hardly any lows which is phenominal for me after years of 2, 3 , 4 ,5 a day. And over the last couple of weeks im getting good results which im struggling to convince myself to lower it. My 3am tests show im holding at around the bed time tst results, however dropping a little just on waking (Around 7am) I think this is the opposite to most..! I sometimes find I wake at 4 / 5mmol and by the time ive got to work without doing anything ive dropped lower. However... I expect it ALL to change next month Thats my diabetes.

Eek! I wonder if it is anything to do with your recent weight loss? I have found that just a couple of pounds loss can make a difference to me - I suppose it's all to do with the loss of visceral fat, certainly in my case as the only place I am carrying extra weight is around my middle.
