Group 7-day waking average?

A very wet morning 🙂
Feel yucky today....but a pleasant 8.5 🙂
Enjoy your day everyone!
 
Took 12 u lantus instead of the usual 13. Was 4.2 this morning and no hypos at night ! A bit low for a morning reading but no night time hypos !!!

Result! 🙂 Might still need dropping a bit more - I used to drop mine if I woke in the low 4s as your lowest levels are usually in the middle of the night when the liver is least active, so chances are you were lower at some point, but not enough to wake you.
 
Thanks for your helpful feedback.
My husband had suggested that I drop it to 11 but I thought small increments are probably better ..... Anyway I think the numbers speak for themselves so will try dropping to 11 ! (But won't tell him he was right !) 🙂
 
A good 6.7 for me this morning

No, I think you are right to approach it one unit at a time at these levels. The problems for me came when I was on such a small dose of lantus that I really needed a half-unit pen - but they don't exist for lantus!
 
Blast! Spoke too soon, 7.5 this morning.
 
Morning a surprising 5.2 for me, considering did not get to bed until turned 3 this morning.
 
8.4 this morning :( I blame the dog, she doesn't like grapes, in my defence I only a handful, I just have big hands 😛
 
Hi all, 5.2 for me this morning. Have a good weekend
 
Morning looks like good results all round so far this morning, continuing with the 5's theme mine was 5.3 even with a disturbed night yet again 4th one on the trot. :(
 
Excellent Pav
