I have the opposite of dawn phenomena, I'm calling it the "Colin conundrum", mostly because the name Colin needs some momentum so it doesn't die out, but also because I like the word conundrum 😎
 
Morning, early birds. 4.2 here. 🙂

Perhaps a little on the low side? Chances are you were lower than this during the night due to reduced liver output. Since I've been off the lantus a number like this would not phase me, but if I was still on a basal I'd be tempted to reduce it a smidgeon 🙂

I lowered the dose last night, so I'll give it a coupla days to 'settle'. Thanks, Northie. Must be the heat! It gets really humid here in the summer, even on dull days like today.

That's the trouble with lantus isn't it? You don't get the impact straightaway 🙄

Boo hiss to the Lantus. I was congratulating myself on not going hypo last night, and then it got me during my dog walk. Words will be had with Patty Pancreas 🙄 good work on the 6.6 though, expertly done.
 
Just out of interest, kcat, do you inject and eat breakfast before your walk or after?🙂

Before, if I don't I usually have a hypo situation because I veer towards the low on waking. I also Lantus in the morning because if I so much as look at that stuff at night I'm hypo.

Morning, 4.2 for me this morning after a 3:30 hypo :(. The Colin conundrum continues.
