Group 7-day waking average?

What are you levels before your meals and what time (aproximately, I know I vary greatly!) do you eat in the evening? It could well be that your bolus ratios are too low. Have you done any tests a couple of hours after eating to see how your insulin has dealt with the meal?

I'm no expert and I'm sure that there are others who are far better than the whole diabetes lark than me but it looks like you lantus is holding you steady during the day, it just happens to be that it is high which to me would suggest that it's your bolus that's the problem, if you got your pre lunch and pre dinner numbers lower then I would have though that your lantus would hold you there.

5.3 and fine with that. Very poor night's sleep - spent most of it snuggling an anxious dog who is in pain and having eye surgery this morning. They are doing a "third eye flap" to stitch the third eye closed over an ulcer that is misbehaving badly. They leave it stitched shut for three weeks which means the eye is protected and has a chance to heal in peace. When they open the eye again we're told that if the ulcer has got worse then he would lose the eye altogether. Anxious time for us - best Christmas present in the world would be that the eye has been saved 🙂
