Group 7-day waking average?

[AlisonM]

7.8, better.

 

[Newtothis]

5.7 for me this morning prior to my cup of rosie-lee... Amanda x 🙂

 

[MeanMom]

K's was 7.3 this morning but I'm quite pleased with that as it was 17.3 last Wednesday morning, 13.2 on Thursday and 16.6 on Friday - still thinking of upping the levemir to 24 units though

Is there a possibility that those higher levels could be due to a hypo-bounce i.e. a hypo in the night that results in a high waking level due to the liver 'dumping' glucose to raise levels? If that is the case then raising levemir dose might not be the best thing to do. Any chance of a CGMS (Continuous Glucose Monitoring System) for a few days to find out what happens overnight?

Have you tested K's basal overnight, MM? And I know nowt about children with D and their different needs, but 24u sounds a lot to me. Or is that the effect of the thyroid prob ...?

3.3 again yesterday morning (Tuesday) ......

 

[Dizzydi]

Good morning 3.6 for me ..... bit low again

 

[teapot8910]

6.1 for yesterday and a 7.2 for me this morning

 

[Steff]

[FM001]

4.3 not happy at all😡

 

[everydayupsanddowns]

6.2 for me today.

 

[imtrying]

going to be a bad day today....

13.6 when I woke (6.30am), injected, and now 9.0....should have taken me down to around 6!!

 

[AlisonM]

10.3. B*****! I seem, for the moment, to be going high at night and then falling throughout the day. Any ideas what I can do to even things out? I had a low of 4.1 yesterday and was in the zone most of the day, it's just the early part of the day.

I've been testing every two hours for the last month as instructed by the clinic and have done two overnighters when I had minor hypos and then soared into the teens with a high of 15.4 and a low of 3.5 on the first one, high of 14.7 and low of 3.8 on the second. I've stopped having a snack at night, should I put that back and have something low GI before bed maybe?

I've read people saying that it helped with overnight/early hours levels. Could be worth a try.

4.3 not happy at all😡

Why?........I'd love to wake to 4.3!

 

[Tumble]

5.1 this morning. Happy start to the day

 

[Phil65]

12.4 for me this morning at 06.45! 7.4 before bed with active insulin on board....must have been my high fat but low carb Toad in the hole! 🙄

now 4.4 though 🙂

...Unless you went down too far and liverdumped back up again 🙄

Glad you've reined it back in already!

K was 6.1 this morning - will settle for that🙂

Thanks Northerner but believe the extra high levels last week were because of stress as K has been having very bad emotional problems - she is feeling a bit better this week as we are starting to get her some help and her school is supporting us. Also may have been due to 'womens things' 😱 (But would still love to get my hands on CGMS)

Have you tested K's basal overnight, MM? And I know nowt about children with D and their different needs, but 24u sounds a lot to me. Or is that the effect of the thyroid prob ...?

Thanks - yes we have done overnight basals a while ago but 24u isnt actually that high for during puberty according to K's team And although she is only 12 she is over 5ft tall so is bigger than some adults (not overweight tho')

(Sorry if I have hijacked thread😱)

Might have had a liver dump Mike....just didn't 'feel' like that though...under a bit of personal stress as well....who knows??? Unusual to have a high reading like that for me, not had many since being on the pump unless I've had a cannula problem and this morning wasn't....weird!

Why?........I'd love to wake to 4.3!

Hope you get what you wish for, personally its to low and prefer to be 5 and above for safety reasons.
