It's just a bit of fun to see what our group average would be, but I think it is proving quite useful as people are examining why they are getting the results and lots of tips too on how to improve the not-so-good ones 🙂

Ok Alan only asking x
 
5.1 for me this am, bearing in mind i have been on fluids for most of the day due to sickness.slowly introducing food now tho.
 
Woke to a 7.1, it was earlier than yesterdays reading, but it may have something to do with the 2 biscuits I had before bed 😉
 
7.5 for me this morning woohoo!!! Unfortunately that was at 5:45 as the wee man has conjunctivitis so was not happy. I don't think the Dawn phenomenon had kicked in at that point. 1 month and 5 days to the pump!
 
Sunday's average BG was 7.639285714 mmol/l
Lowest 4.2, highest 13.8

Monday's average was 7.781481481 mmol/l
Lowest 4.4, highest 14.0

Keep 'em coming! 🙂

Dont suppose you could ask if people could add what level they went to bed as(if known) as something that has always perplexed me is that I can go to bed say 20+, not correct with novo(naughty I know) and only take my lantus and wake with a perfect level 4/5.

Other times I have been 20+ corrected with novorapid and plan to bring levels to 9/10 as well as my lantus and woken with a level to what I planned with my novo and wake on 9/10
...why does the lantus seem to work extra hard sometimes (when needed) and not others? Why didn't it bring it down to 4/5?

I would say it depends if you're high due to underjabbing your novo at teatime or because you ate something before bedtime maybe. If it was high GI and quickly flushes through your system, and there's still novo onboard, you can come down to a good level assuming your lantus is right.
If you're high because you underabbed, then your lantus hasn't got the necessary oomph to get your BG down for morning by itself.
There's obviously a million other possible reasons like alcohol, exercise, etc. but it's too late at night to cover those!:D

BTW I'm just treating a 3.5 with a jelly baby, then I'm going to get some crackers and hope I make i through with just enough carbs to wake to a 5. Or am I dreaming already ?🙄

7.3 for me this morning
 
Good morning all - 4.4 for me this morn

Went to bed on 3.9 a glucose tab and I slice of wholemeal toast
 
9.7 this morning after a 3.7 and 2 jelly babies at 1 am. Infuriating having struggled with running a bit high at night for weeks.

Can't get much better than that! 🙂 I was 6.3 this morning after lowering my lantus last night because of all the hypos I had yesterday 🙂

Oh dear, hope you have a better day free from hypos 🙂
