Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all.🙂 6.5 here (after 4.30 hypo). Brrrrr.😛
 
Morning 5.2 today, frosty weather awaits 🙂
 
Fasting/waking - 13.4
Bedtime (19/01) - 12.7
 
5.2 again today. Yesterday was a hideous blood sugar roller coaster so I'm hoping for a better day today, I don't want big post meal peaks followed by pre-meal hypos thank you, and I shall report Pattyto the highest authority if she does it again 😱
 
Good Morning all And Patty you have been warned! My own Patty was feeling abit high all day yest - maybe the weather - But more acceptable 6.4 today

Maybe it was the weather, ironically I didn't feel cold yesterday which is unusual so maybe my body was using all that blood sugar for fuel. Nice figure today Linda, you should give your Patty a pat on the head :D
 
6.3 for me - the best in a long time 🙂

Did you test before bed so you can see how much it rose (or fell) overnight? Also, it's a good idea to test immediately on waking, not after you have been up and about a bit, as there is something known as 'dawn phenomenon' which can affect some people. This is where the liver releases extra glucose to give you a 'boost' of energy as you start your day. Having something to eat usually stops this as your body no longer thinks it is starving. You do need to be careful what you eat for breakfast, as many people find they are more insulin-resistant at this time of day. Something protein-based like scrambled eggs and tomatoes can be a better choice than toast or cereal. As the day progresses and you become more active, you become more insulin-sensitive 🙂
