Group 7-day waking average?

Bit low at 6.00 a.m. - I was at 3.8. Think it has something to do with having had an absolutely awful night's non-sleep. Last time I looked at the clock it was about 2.30 a.m. and I get up at 6.00 a.m. :(

I refuse to take tablets but the least tiny bit of stress results in a sleepless night or two. Annoying! Last night I was doing fine and then bang! remembered something to do with work that I should have done yesterday and didn't. I wasn't consciously stressing about it because it was hardly a difficult thing to deal with, but it was enough ....

I tend to go the opposite way if I can't sleep, I wake with higher levels. And why is it that you can fret and toss and turn the entire night, then about 30 mins before you are due to get up you get to sleep?

Hope you get a much better night tonight! 🙂
 
A ginormous 4.6 this morning and that's in spite of all the goodies I scoffed last night that I shouldn't have.
 
4.9 after a 2 hour lie-in - wonderful, wonderful lie-in!
 
12.9 after a 2 hour lie-in. Grr, if only he'd checked at 6.45 as usual! We both have rotten colds so I'm blaming that.....
 
Eeek! 8.8 this morning. No idea why.
 
Dammit, 3.3 at 7.10 a.m.!! For no good reason whatsoever. I was 6.2 at bedtime and the basal is fine (I did full basal testing last month). Ah well. That's D for you ....

Did you have a busy day yesterday, lots of rushing around? What basal are you on, might be worth a tweak if it happens again. My problem was always being on such a low dose of lantus and no half-unit pen, which meant small adjustments were practically impossible.
 
Raced round like a blue-assed fly now I come to think about it. Sainsbury's, dog walk, get deccies up and quickly pop over to B&Q when the tree-lights were found to be beyond saving....

Explains a lot :laugh:

I got the nurse at the surgery to prescribe a Novopen Echo which I used for my levemir. It does half units - very handy! I'll do a couple of night checks tonight, just to be on the safe side but I think yours is the explanation; I'm usually a pretty chilled type but yesterday was a bit fraught.
 
I've quit racing around for the day and am taking it easy. Starting with a much better 6.4 this morning.
