Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone 🙂

4.8 - bedtime
3.8 - this morning for me

looking back at some recent bedtime/morning BG tests more often than not there is no more than 2-3 mmol difference. Good or bad?

Excellent Gill - it means your basal insulin is set at the right level 🙂

Ant, I would try keeping the carbs to a minimum in your meals if you are getting levels like this before bed. Out of interest, what did you eat last night?

Hmm...hardly a carb-fest! I'm guessing your levels were already pretty high before eating? Hope you are making that appointment today!

You see, this indicates that your body isn't producing enough insulin to cover your 'background' needs to me. Your food only raised your levels by a couple of mmol/l, it's just that your base levels are so high to start with. Good luck in getting an appointment - stand your ground and make them understand that you are not happy being at these sorts of levels for so long 🙂
