Group 7-day waking average?

Just a thought re: diet pepsi... does caffeine have an effect on your BG? I was told that it can increase levels in some people and to be cautious with it.

Hi,
Not as far as I know.



Re the very high BG this morning I'm wondering if it was because I had a few too many carbs before bed last night 😱
 
Disappointing 23.4 before bed....and 14.1 this morning......only had chicken salad was not hungry :confused:
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

12.9 - bedtime
4.6 - this morning
 
4.7 for me this morning
 
Good morning 🙂 8.7 for me today :( I'm guessing it is down to the fact that I've had a restless night because of the heat, waking at 4am but then sporadically falling back to sleep, so maybe DP got a chance to kick in.

Sorry to hear this. 8.7 is unusual for you. I hope that it improves for you🙂
 
Good morning 4.5 for me:D

Thanks Amanda 🙂 There's also the possibility that I've picked up an infection, I was rather sniffly yesterday :(

Ooh I hope that you haven't got something wrong. Take care.
 
Today was 5.2. I've been getting more in the low 5s recently, rather than the mid-4s I got in March. My diet is the same, and I'm exercising more. Does hayfever have an effect? Every morning is a sneezy one, until an hour after my antihistamine.

I don't know, but I would imagine it does have an influence, given how subtly our blood glucose levels are managed in non-diabetics. Just slightly stressing the system can upset the balance in a person with diabetes - so many factors!

I often wonder how much a non-diabetic person's fasting levels fluctuate, whether seasonally or due to other factors - it's only us diabetics that can closely observe it!

Hmmm. Throughout the day, after the antihistamine has taken effect, I'm back to the 4s - even after meals. I wonder if there's any research on the subject.

When's your next appointment with the DN or doctor, don't like the sound of pins and needles that won't go away. Think your BS should be coming down a bit more by now.

.........sounds like you are going to need insulin, I would go and see your team with evidence of your latest results. They really should be doing more for you!
