Group 7-day waking average?

Been running high in the mornings for the last week, mostly in the 7s. 7.6 this morning. I reckon it has to be the codeine, but I can't manage with out them.
 
Morning, 5.4 for me 2 hours after getting up. :(
 
Good morning all, 5.8 for me, plus 5lb lost things looking up
 
A truly awful (for me) 6.2 this morning. :( I feel hungover and lethargic, despite no alcohol at all.

My Weds night off double-D (diabetes and diet) last night took the form of pizza followed by ice cream - lots of both. Bad idea, will have to think of something else next week.
 
7.2 before bed
Woke at 1 am at 2.7 grrrr. Corrected my hypo with 4 jelly babies
Tested at 6.20 was 3.7 .... Took 2 jelly babies
Tested at 7.15 was 7.0

Might need to decrease my lantus ???

Thanks Alan, I'll try taking 12u this evening as opposed to the standard 13u. It's the THIRD night in a row that its happened so I don't think it's a fluke at all. In any case I guess the good news is that on all 3 occasions I woke up and was able to treat the hypo as opposed to sleeping through and having a re bound high 🙂

Always in way happy my levels are low in the mornings. 🙂 its just the knock on effect when its in the 5.0's or more, it seams that the rest of the days levels run high.

Been waiting since 5 am for the on call doc to come out, 2 days on the trot not had much sleep.

Hope you soon recovered, I seam to find the same on a few occasions have my fruit pastels leave it a while test and it goes down. I then make a mistake and over compensate sending my BS sky high.
 
Thanks Pav yes I then had biscuits as well as the jelly babies which was naughty but I was fed up with the hypo. It went up to 11 but I managed to get it down to normal fairly soon🙂
