Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all a slightly low 4.1 for me today.
Steff / ant / Alan - is there a bug going around ?? My husband went out yesterday for about 3 hours and came back with cold like symptoms (runny nose, cough, etc). Hope you all feel better soon ! 🙂

There does seem to be quite a bad one doing the rounds :( Several of my neighbours have suffered the same. I'm fully-recovered now, but it was the worst I have had for many years (rarely get ill) - I developed a bad, chesty cough for the first time since I stopped smoking nearly 19 years ago! Hope your hubby doesn't pass it on to you! 🙂

Thanks Alan - I've told him to stay away from me haha 🙂
 
7.9 - 22.22pm - bedtime

- thought I may have fallen lower at my fasting BG as I have been doing lately so had 2 rich tea biscuits - (5.6g ech = 11.2g)

7.3 - 7:40am - fasting

Gill, if you are eating biscuits before bed then you are snacking. Thus you do not have a true picture of your blood sugars.
Skip the biscuits and if you are worried about being low in the night then set your alarm and test your blood sugar. 🙂
 
Oh flippin Nora! 3.0! It's taken me most of the morning to get up again but I'm at 5.1 now.
 
Late posting again, got up to a 4.6 then spent the rest of the day fighting off hypos :(. Tea time hypo has been a right pain to shift, now I have over done the correction and I am in the 9.0's :(.

Sorry to hear this pav - do you think you need the gliclizide dose to be decreased?
 
Was thinking the same, on another day it will be high, but there's some much rubbish going on at home and wondering if the steroids are knocking my BS about too much.

Think tomorrow will try taking just one tablet (80 mg) instead of the usual 1 1/2 tabs.

Hope it helps and doesn't send you in the opposite direction 🙂
 
At a guess will go high, but as I am out most of the day tomorrow its some thing worth a try, as don't fancy hypo fighting when not at home.

Still too much lantus, it appears!
 
10.4 this morning and feeling really bad. Coughing and wheezing, and I ache all over. My head has a herd of elephants dancing in it. Still in the high 9s now.
