Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 5.3 for me today. I've been incredibly consistent lately - my last six waking levels have been: 5.2, 5.2, 5.3, 5.2, 5.2 and 5.3! 🙂
 
Morning all 4.9 for me, with a 5 at 3:30am, no hypo and I slept till 7:30am which hasn't happened in forever. Dare I say I might have cracked it?

Well done, Kookycat!

5.8 for me (hypo at 3.45 tho). Might have to drop the Lantus again!
Oooo, it's humid here today! Sweating already...😱

Don't you just love that Lantus, like a petulant child 🙂. Raining here, proper full on ground squelching rain, so normal service resumed :D
 
A nasty 17 for me 😱, was fine when I went to bed going to increase my Lantus if this carries on. Almost embarrassed to post such bad readings 😱

Don't be embarrassed TinTin, you are doing your best and it's not your fault! I hope that the increase in lantus sorts it. It may be that your requirements have changed after your holiday now you are back in sunny Scotland 😉
 
7.6 but in my defence I was mugged by a Twirl, a mini bag of maltesers and a mint toffee last night 😱
 
A bit higher than normal this morning at 6.1.
 
Morning all 3.9 for me.

Sigh! Another reduction?

Probably 🙄 although I did Hoover yesterday and that sends me hypo every time so it could be that. I don't know why I can walk miles with my dog chucking a ball around without going hypo (mostly) and I only have to look at that Hoover and my blood sugar plummets!

That's like me - I can run for miles with no change in BG levels, but try gardening and my levels plummet! 🙄

I wonder why? I wonder if it's something to do with using different muscle groups, I'm always skittering around so my legs must get a lot of use, arms not so much I suppose....another research project :D

That's it exactly, actually. Muscles that get frequent use become more efficient at storing and using energy, so they don't need to suck up the glucose from the blood as readily 🙂 I can run about 5 miles with no extra glucose then I need about a jelly baby every couple of miles 🙂
