hope it comes down Flower, hate that when there's no reason for it 😱
 
Hi 🙂 7.4 this morning on waking
- bedtime - 2321pm - 6.1
- ate 1 plain digestive biscuit 20g cho after bedtime test because BG was lower than bedtime target range of 8 - 12 - meter advised no bolus for the amount of carbs eaten
- teatime - 1920pm - 16.6
- this high BG may or may not have been stress/worrying

Don't know if this will work out but I split my BI last night so was having 14u at nightime but now having 7u at 10pm then 7u at 10am

Good for you Linda, hope it helps! Might not be instant, but doing it regularly should pay dividends 🙂

Go LindaRose! I'm far too clumsy for a stepper, I'd need a crash mat 🙂
 
Ha ha Well failure here Did 10 minutes which felt like an hour! Now recovering with my morning cuppa Def too early for stepping Will have to think of some thing else less energetic!
 
Morning all.🙂 A very comfortable 6.1 here.
 
Hi 🙂 19.6 this morning on waking
- bedtime - 2308pm - 7.4
- ate supper of 33g carbs because of bedtime reading being lower than bedtime target of 8 - 12 & which I bloused for 🙂 but a short while after ended up dipping into the biscuits & ate 2x digestives 20g carbs but with no bolus but my thinking was that I had only just bloused & didn't want to do any more on going to bed
- teatime - 1911pm - 7.9
- no evening snacking

- was my high BG on fasting because of the biscuits & no bolus 😱

Don't know if this will work out but I split my BI on Wed 15/10 so was having 14u at nightime but now having 7u at 10pm then 7u at 7am

It would have been better if you hadn't had the extra biscuits Gill, because it makes it difficult to tell whether you were high because of them, or because of the lantus reduction, or both. I would try tonight without having anything extra after tea, except something no-carb like cheese or cold meat, then you will have a better idea of what is happening. 🙂
 
Morning 5.3 for me today, and a steaming hot mug of coffee.....ah:D
 
Good morning! It's confession time here Very bad day yest hardly tested as knew after eating the lion bar and kitkat (think the choc quiz set me off!) that I was going from bad to worse! Finished with a fajita as friends round and didn't want to be different At least I resisted apple crumble Anyway stupid me 7.3 and no surprises there Back on track today Feeling guilty and disappointed in myself -(

Linda, please don't feel guilty, we all have lapses from time to time, and I actually think it is healthy to just put things to one side every now and then - there's more to life than diabetes! What you will find (I hope, as I have done) is that over time your lapses will be tempered by your knowledge and experience, so you won't go 'over the top' and your 'bad' choices will actually not be so bad at all. In my early years after diagnosis I would choose, on my diabetes anniversary or birthday, to indulge myself - in recent years I fnd myself actually looking at the packaging and choosing the least terrible option, couldn't bring myself to buy the really bad stuff! 🙂

An occasional relaxation will not harm you, as long as it does not become the norm, so as long as you had a good time and it doesn't knock you off track completely 🙂 My apologies for planting the chocolate temptations in your mind!
 
You've given me such a boost Northerner Thankyou I am definitely going to have a better day It really helps to fess up and continue Onwards and upwards Or should I say downwards with the numbers!
