Group 7-day waking average?

5.8 this morning. Was 11.8 before bed.
 
5.0 yesterday and 3.8 this morning 😡
 
4.1 this morning!
 
Didn't want to post this, but...18.0 this morning. Bad cannula site I think....otherwise more basal testing needed! 😡 Hope it's better tomorrow morning!
 
Woke to a 4. Got up and started to drop, so had a JB, dropped again so had another one before breakfast. Mmm.

Sorry to hear that Phil, but thank you for posting it. Certainly does sound like a bad cannula or something similar, unless you've been midnight snacking on corn syrup! Hope you get it cracked 🙂
 
5.5 today.

Have my blood tests for annual review at 10 so decided to miss breakfast and do a quick basal test. +1 hour was up to 9.4 (sigh!). Probably skewed matters slightly as I had a coffee rather than sticking to water, but just goes to show why I find mornings so tricky with the gap between previous lantus and current dose's onset.

No wonder I need to leave so long after bolusing to eat breakfast!

I was also high last night after going to the cinema (13.9) so took a correction and also bolused for cheese on toast at 10.30pm (I hadn't had supper) I wish I had changed the cannula last night after that reading! :(

Tsk tsk. The coffee will get you every time.🙄

Excellent FBG and good luck with your bloods. I'm sure your Hb will be way better than you think.🙂
