Much better than the double figures and huge drops you were getting Gill, looking good! Did you have any snacks after your bedtime reading, or are you trying to see what happens when you don't?
 
Ok gang...

Yesterday I went to a meeting. The hostess had baked a special cake with me in mind - ground almonds instead of flour and fructose instead of sugar. Still carbs I know, but I was touched that she had done it. I had, ahem, three pieces 😱

I get home and find my flatmate home. She says that one of her boyfriends is coming to dinner and I should join them. Dinner is an Iranian dish - celery stew with lamb, and white rice... Oh well, I think, I'll write it off as a bad day...

This morning at 6.25 I was 4.7 😱

I have NEVER been that low in the morning!

I thought my meter was bust, but arriving at work I was 6.9 after my breakfast of yogurt and blackberries...
 
Haha! Brilliant Naty! Don't you just love how fickle the Diabetes is when she plays with us? 🙂 Great numbers!

Well, given that this is something you wish to do, without extra QA for them, then it looks like you have things more or less right as far as the lantus goes - a 1.2 mmol/l rise from bedtime to waking is very good. Up to 2 mmol/l either above or below your bedtime reading is normally considered good 🙂

As I said before, the only slight problem that is hidden is that the biscuits will probably raise your levels quickly before they come down overnight to when you get up. Having said that, I used to get a bit of an early spike in my lantus, despite the fact that it is supposed to have a flat profile. I used to have a slice of toast with peanut butter as a bedtime snack as this would produce less of a spike than biscuits and keep my levels steadier overnight. 🙂

A big improvement to what you were getting a few weeks ago Gill, so well done on your hard work getting back into testing frequently! 🙂
