Group 7-day waking average?

Maybe worth setting your alarm clock for a 3am test Katie, you might be hypoing during the night and bouncing in the morning? I detest those numbers in the morning....so tiring! Hope you are ok

hi phil, well, what I'd been doing before was going to be about 12/13 and waking up to a hypo at 6.30am. last night I was 13 before I went to bed (too scared to adjust in case of another hypo) but yet woke up at 15. so technically it had only increased 1.3mmols - I'd assumed I'd just risen, but do you think I've hypoed during the night? thankfully I actually felt a lot better this morning than I did yesterday!

I'm starting to think these 3am tests are getting closer to being a necessity :(

Yes Katie, it is very possible you are sleeping through a hypo and bouncing to a high in the morning. Often you think you need more lantus because of highs in the morning but actually the more lantus you take may make you hypo and bounce more in the mornings!!

I had a CGM fitted some time ago for a week.....try and see if you can borrow one for a week from your team, they will then download you your weekly chart.....quite an eye opener, it will show how certain foods will affect your levels more than others, what foods make you spike, also those nasty hypos that you may get at night without even realising! It was amazing how an Indian and Chinese meal affected my levels for so long...it taught me to split bolus dose. But, in answer to your question 3am tests are well worth doing.....especially when your levels are misbehaving like yours seem to be. Hope you sort it soon 🙂

Thanks Phil, really appreciate that....and sorry everyone else for hi-jacking the thread 😱
 
Good morning all - 5.5 this morning
 
8.4, woke at 1.30 low so corrected with jb's, can't remember the last time I was low during the night, I figure too much exercise early last night might have caused the hypo.
 
2.7 😱 ......party last night!
 
9.1 this morning. Isn't it a shame we can't average out the number and give everyone the same?
 
8.2 for me.....................nibbled on a few extra carbs form the wifes plate and did not correct enough before bed...........so carry on regardless......😉

'morning all - 4.2
 
6.1 for me this morning.

Ummm, I think I was last last week too, and the week before. 🙂
I would like that to be a little lower - but I shouldn't really complain that it is stable.
 
2.7.....gonne have to drop my basal 😱
 
4,7 after a 3 am hypo (caused by stacking insulin....had flu jab yday sent my Nos through the roof later!) 😱
 
Minor Hypo last night before bed (3.7) and woke this morning feeling like something the cat dragged in. BG 5.1, cor! I'm going to have to keep a close eye on things today.
 
6.4 this morning....minor hypo at 3.30am
