Group 7-day waking average?

5.4 for me this morning.
 
8.2 this morning. I was 4.6 before bed at 12.55 last night so I had 3 crackers (10g). Clearly not needed.🙄

Having some strange evenings at the mo but will get back in the groove I'm sure.🙂

4.8 for me when I woke up this morning which I was very pleased about although I did have a hypo during the night - was sensible enough to have Lucozade but my brain craved carbs so at 3am I was eating a Cornetto:D

Thank you so much. I was a bit confused as I was 6.7 two hours after the meal, so though I had it spot on but when I tested at night it had gone up to 9.8 so I took a correction and was still high in the morning. Brilliant bit of advise I will put it into action next time.

My pleasure Tumble....hope it works for you, I used to split doses for pizza and pasta meals as well, chinese always was the trickiest for me, CGM provided the evidence!! Great thing about my pump is I multi wave bolus (delivers insulin gradually for 2-3 hours).....it's great! 🙂
 
Shiv don't feel guilty about it. You're human and it's only natural to not want to test all of the time. You are doing so well with all of the discipline that's involved with using the pump

10.7 - my own fault - didn't check before bed (yay burnout). Feeling horribly guilty about it now though.

Drop the guilt. We don't get weekends off so once in a while you need to step back and just keep yourself safe and functioning. No harm done. No guilt.🙂

Oh dear, of all the readings in the day! I have slowly been upping my bedtime levemir after not finding any night time hypos, I have gone from 13.9, 15.4, 7.0, 11.5. Not exactly brilliant, but yesterday's was much better so I have some hope I am going to get there soon. I feel rubbish knowing that I have been waking up between 11 and 16 for the past few weeks, I was silly not to do anything about it sooner, now I am very worried 😱

Fear of making those changes is one of the worst things about diabetes. But do it slowly and you'll get there. Change one thing at a time and then you don't get confusion.🙂

6.4 for the this morning. Yay! *does a little dance* :D
 
@Tumble

One other thing you could consider adding into the mix for those *impossible* meals is something that someone else suggested to me on here once.

After a certain point (with much carbier meals than usual) I found that split dose was better but not quite enough. My ratio sort of stopped working and I needed to split the dose and add extra insulin to ride out the post-meal high.

Have a read of this: New big meal strategy: Thirds
 
I was 10.5 this morning, not really suprising as I was 17.5 before my evening meal!

My levels have been really bad for the last few months, not really sure why but most annoying as before my waking BG's had all been in the 5's and 6's. At the moment if I get in the 7's it's something of a rarity, with my levels being mostly between 8 and 15!😡

Made a mistake with the above BG it was 10.5 yesterday and 12.9 this morning!

Alan you know at the end of the week will you be collating all the readings and doing something with them?

Many thanks, I'll have a go at splitting my insulin first then if this isn't working then I'll add the extra insulin.

Thanks a million for finding me the link, it's really helpful.

It's just a bit of fun to see what our group average would be, but I think it is proving quite useful as people are examining why they are getting the results and lots of tips too on how to improve the not-so-good ones 🙂
 
A very poor 14.0.

Must have overdone the OJ and Toast at 22:45 due to a 3.4 reading.........
