Group 7-day waking average?

11.3 for me
 
Morning 4.4 this morning🙂. But I was in very high teens for about eight hours yesterday as the gastroparesis dealt with a hot dog and ice cream when we went out early afternoon....but it was very nice:D

Ah! Good to hear that things are improving so much 🙂 Out of interest, do you take your morning reading immediately on waking, or is it taken after you have been up and about for a bit?
 
3.7 for me today.

It's just that, for many people, taking the reading even half an hour after getting up can mean levels have risen significantly from their actual waking level due to the liver releasing extra glucose (also known as the 'dawn phenomenon'). Certainly happens with me. Often, just eating a little something will 'switch off' this rise. So, it's important to take a reading as your 'feet hit the floor' in order to learn how your levels have changed through the night 🙂

I see your point....I always get up go down stairs and take reading before eating anything.....and just before I go to bed I take a reading, just glad the numbers are balancing out 🙂

You're doing great - far better than those high 20s! 🙂
 
4.7 today. I think you're right Alan, the weather has cured me. I am on 30% less basal
 
5.1 for me which is an improvement on the very low 4's or high 3's
 
Back to my usual 4.4 🙂

Though was high yesterday tea when eating something which previously did not cause a high 2 hours after eating, strange world this diabetes.
