I hope so pav!! 🙂
 
Morning all, a 5.3 for me, slowly creeping up after the reduction in meds. :(
 
10.7 today after a high yesterday - think it might be because I forgot my thyroxine yesterday!
 
4.8 this morning.

Good news is there's no wild swing in your BS level from night to morning that you have had before, looks like you are starting to get some ware. 🙂

Just a question of how long it will take to work out the right insulin combination / dosage, your getting closer. 🙂
 
Thanks LeeLee, will try that, BS was 9.5 before breakfast just taken again and is 11.1 (so not in the right direction.) Will go and have just protein for dinner.:(

Sounds as if we belong to the same club except I woke up at 2.7 😱
 
Morning all another one in the 5.0's with a 5.1 :(
 
New and interesting?

New to this and only two weeks in to intensive testing (well 3 x times / day) and now I've mastered the strip / blood method.

Over two weeks I average 9.0 at wake up/fast, then probably 7.0 before tea (that's 'evening meal' oop north as we have our dinner at lunch :D), and then 8.0 before bed with a spread of perhaps 1.0 to 1.5 up/down against the average

I find it odd that my highest readings are when I have gone longest without food.

However I find my lowest readings tend to be after a 'sensible' lunch and some intensive exercise (cycling usually), which might explain the high morning readings being due to inactivity. Perhaps

Am I analysing correctly and does my profile match others?

My count is 8.3 again this morning, I think I am like you and it is always higher in the morning, as you say it may be because of lack of activity. Well one has to sleep....
LeeLee suggested having protein before bed, which, may help.🙄
 
Can I suggest you do a search on the forum for the phrase 'dawn phenomenon'? Basically, your liver chucks a load of of glucose into the system shortly before you get up. There's a bit more to it, and I'm not an expert, but having a protein-only snack (e.g. lean ham, cheese, nuts) just before bed can reduce this.
