Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 4.3 for me today.

I had my pump clinic appointment sprung on me yesterday for 3 weeks time and I've got the HbA1c panic building 😱 I wish the hospital could give me an appointment when I leave the previous one so I know what's happening.
 
Hi Northerner .. thanks for the fast reply ... i am a pre diabetic and confused with it .. i am on a low carb diet.. lost weight .. trying to do all the things that i read on the forum .. my readings are all quite good during the day until i test in the morning then it goes outside the range ( 5.5 and below i think it should be normal ..this correct ) never know what to do at bedtime will i eat, will i not .. if testing at bedtime will i eat before or after i eat ... thanks for any help ..

That does seem rather high but to make more sense of your levels you really need to do the bedtime reading and then this may tell you if you need to increase the basal dose.

Thank you for your reply pippaandben. I've been having a diabetic burnout for several weeks or since November when I went for my diabetic review. It's stuck somewhere in the back of my mind that I don't have another HbA1c done until August so I'm off the hook for the time being so to speak but at the same time I do know that this is no good. I'm just starting to try & get back into both the bedtime & fasting/waking levels.
 
5.6 after another night time sweat fest and a hypo hangover to boot. Dear stinking cold, please do one so Patty will calm herself and let me sleep, thanks 🙂
 
Good morning 6.8 for me too Hope you're soon feeling much better Kooky 🙂

never posted in this thread before - but 5.5 this morning which is high for me - normally around 4.5 - 4.7. Was wondering looking at other posts if under 5 is too low with type 2?.

Are you on any medication? It's excellent, would only possibly be a problem if you were on insulin or some other med that could cause a hypo 🙂
 
im on 2 metformin a day. So no issues with hypos. Was just wondering if below 5 was ok lol. Thanks northener -its put my mind at rest.

It's great then - a non-diabetic range would be between 3.3 and 6.0 mmol/l, so it sounds like you are nicely within that range, and not even on the maximum dose of metformin. Good work 🙂
 
Hi Banjo I'd be thrilled to get such low fasting levels I rarely manage to get below 6 despite my best efforts Very well done It's great to see T2 that good 🙂
 
Fasting/waking BG this morning - 7.4
Bedtime (22/01) - 7.6
- bedtime was below target of 8 - 12 & when I did my test I had already eaten 14g carbs which was a bag of crisps with some tuna & mayo. When I entered the carbs into my meter it advised no bolus for this amount.
