Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 8.0 for me today. It's been a while now since I was waking in the 5s and I@m contemplating possibly trying a couple of units of lantus a night. Haven't been doing as much exercise because of the hot weather and have consequently put on a few pounds, which could be combining to raise my fasting levels.

Morning Alan, it is very hard to get motivated in this weather, I'm finding it so hard at work at the moment, hope you get better levels soon 🙂

I'm really confused with my readings this morning, I had pizza for dinner as I'm fed up with eating healthy and readings going up and down like a yo yo, i had 3 slices that was it at 7.00pm, so did normal pre bed which was 17.5, i was actually chuffed with that as i thought after the pizza it would shoot up!
got up this morning checked straight away as i normally do 16.5......not been that high for ages, how can it be so high after being so low for me pre bed?
Going to keep an close eye on readings today.
 
Hope you get it sorted Alan. Your waking levels were an inspiration and showed what could be achieved. Certainly make me try harder ! And wait for it .. 5.6 today :D

Pizza is notorious for taking a long time to digest, largely because of the fat content, so it's likely it kept your levels high (but steady!) overnight. Did you test before eating the pizza?

Have a read of Pizza Night to read how others have reacted to pizza in our food experiment.

Thanks Mossey 🙂 I've been for a run this morning, so hopefully that will be a start and I can get back to those 5.6s soon! 🙂
 
Morning all. A 4 for me today - glad I decided not to adjust last night after a 10. May have to adjust background again.

That's quite a drop overnight, I used to make a 10% basal adjustment if I woke in the 4s (when possible, became impossible when 1 unit was 50% of my lantus! 😱) Hope you wake to something more comfortable tomorrow 🙂

A little low, but a good number to wake on if you've had a good night 🙂

No hypos as far as I know. I was a bit low at bedtime so I had a small snack before I put out the lights and that seems to have done the trick.
