I'm not surprised :( With those numbers I would say you need insulin, especially given the pre-bed number. To have risen a further 9 points from your 2 hour reading after such a carb-light meal would suggest you simply aren't producing enough of your own insulin to cope with any amount of carbs. I know it can be difficult, but you really do need to put your foot down in that appointment and get some seriously good answers from the nurse - if you don't then ask to be referred to a specialist. Hope it goes well!
 
4.4 this morning that includes a biscuit (7 carbs) at 2 AM
 
Morning I had a bad night started with a mild hypo of 3.6 @ 9:30 pm , then dipped to 3.4 after the jelly babies (more jelly babies) :(. Managed to get it 5.1 by 10:40 pm then by 11:40 pm was already back down to 4.3. :(. Had 3 fruit biscuit bar type things, at 4:45 am was 4.7 :( finally woke this morning to a 4.6 🙂.

The Jelly babies and the fruit bars normally would of fairly rapidly sent me into the 10 +'s. Maybe down to the wonderful weather.

Hope you get sorted out today and the DN gets everything rolling. I don't know about using insulin, but could well be your way forward, otherwise you could be popping pills out of your ears (not to your liking as you've already mentioned had enough of pills), in a further attempt to bring the numbers down.

Goodness, that's a lot of treatment required! Perhaps your medication doses need adjusting, or at least varying according to the weather? Hope you have a decent day to make up for the night! 🙂

Thats the problem, with tablets one is stuck with what they do, no varying for different types of meal. I take the tablets with breakfast, if the day goes pear shaped for whatever reason highs or lows, it can be hard to sort out.

Last night was totally weird, as other hypos have always responded well to the odd treat, even when I totally messed up tea. Which is where I think I went wrong to start with last night. Had tea very early the was low carb for me 14g, then trying to sort things out I should of got up and had a proper snack not what was just to hand.
 
4.2 ......lovely morning 🙂
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

11.4 - bedtime
14.5 - this morning
 
Sigh, two thunderstorms, a night hypo (3.2) and a mild dose of the runs. Now up to a whacking 4.6.
 
Morning everyone....what a night 🙂
pre bed 20.9
this morning 20.3......very random 🙄
 
Morning everyone and a nice bit cooler. 6.9 after a 2.1 in night corrected so can't complain. :D. Your levels strange Alan after seeming to be consistently a couple of points lower, now that bit higher! But then at least the consistency is there :confused:

I'm getting back into my running Mossey, so hopefully the levels will get back to where they were a few weeks ago. Haven't been sleeping well because of the heat, so I suspect that's been having an effect also. Still toying whether to start back with a couple of units of lantus for a few nights - I'll give it a few days and if no improvement I'll give it a try. 🙂
 
Morning, a good 4.5 for me.

Possibly due to the news you had (worry) about switching over to insulin, won't be long before you start to see the numbers coming down. 🙂
 
12.2 last night and exactly half that this morning, 6.1.
 
4.8 this morning 4.1 before lunch and 3.6 two hours after. now sitting at 5.2 after over treating the low and doing some gardening to correct it.
