Had a early night and was in bed by 9 and my bg was 6.5, woke just before 1am and tested again and was 9.1, took a 1 unit correction and woke to 5.2 this morning🙂

A tale of two corrections, it seems! I must admit, I have never done a correction in the night - I would probably have left the 9.1 alone, but clearly you know precisely what was required toby 🙂 Phil, waking to 2.9 must be a bit shocking!
 
5.2 this morning

Doctor??? :confused: What the heck do they know!!!:D

If it had been left to my GP, I would never have got the tablets I
need, as he thought a 14 hour fasting blood glucose of 10 was okay... 😎

Regards,
Mike

Don't normally do corrections in the night for fear of a hypo, last night I had a quiche with salad for my evening meal and figured a delayed spike would be possible later in the evening, normally I'd split my QA dose anyway for such a meal but as I said I went to bed early I felt reasonably confident injecting just one unit when I woke.

Sleeping like most people represents a third of our lives, I see this time as important in reducing my hba1c and keeping complications at bay, waking to anything over 6.5 draws my immediate attention.

Had a bad night Northie!...always the way when control is going so well 🙄 I was 19.8 at 23.30 (bolused 13 units....my normal ratio) at 01.30 I was still 16.9! :( So I did a cannula change and took 12.2 units....maybe a couple of units too many...seeing it was night-time. Good readings now though 7 at 10am and 7 now 🙂
 
7.5 this morning. Bit of an overcorrection from last night's pre bedtime lows that wouldn't stay up.

Still tweaking. 🙄

So Toby - how would you have regarded my uncharacteristic 17.0 this morning then?

Ah the joys of pumping and omitting to change one's cannula on time .... LOL
 
Good morning 4.3 for me

.....I know how you feel!! 🙄
 
...have to put a stop to all these 4.somethings this morning....7.2 for me 😉
 
5.4 this morning.
 
...aaaaand my expected Lantus shortfall has arrived. 11.4 this morning (began to rise last night, and the correction 'disappeared'). Came down to 6.2 before eating breakfast.
 
6.4 this morning for me! very pleased 🙂 now I just need to try and keep it up for the rest of the day!!! (I love this thread...actually makes me test in the morning, and once I've started, I do tend to carry on 🙂 )
 
5.9 today which is pleasing, due to have bloods taken in 4 weeks time so I'll be monitoring my fasting readings more than ever.
 
4 upon waking.

3.1 10 minutes later after fetching breakfast through.

Suspect because of careful adjustments to evening insulin and a beer about 9pm. It's good to introduce variety into the chaotic routine.:D

Got fasting bloods next Monday in readiness for MOT with DN at GP's in a couple of weeks. It may be interesting.
