Group 7-day waking average?

Morning a lovely 4.6 this morning after a 4.7 at bedtime and after the 16.0 + earlier in the day.

Might be time to go back to the docs, yesterdays high was my fault, but levels are swinging all over the place.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

You do seem to be still having quite a lot of swings Gill, you seemed to have things under better control a while back.

I'm wondering whether to up the lantus & maybe also pay a visit to the drop in clinic :confused:

Hard to know really, as some mornings you are waking to reasonable levels, but others in the high teens, so a lantus adjustment might not be appropriate. Might be worth doing some nighttime checks to find out if the morning highs are due to night lows rebounding.
 
7.8 this morning, 4.1 before lunch after a correction.

Yes I will do that & thanks. How many nights in a row do you think I should do this for?

Hi Gill, instead of playing guessing games perhaps the simplest way forward would be to do some basal testing. After all the person in the drop in centre would only be guessing as well. So best bet would be to do some actual basal testing.
If basal testing ok then take a good look at the type of food you are eating and then start to understand how to dose for the different foods.
 
A little low at 4.2 this morning.
 
3.9 for me. Not best pleased. 😡
 
4.6 for me, 🙂
 
6.6 :D
Happy days
