Hi banjo - I'm taking 2 Metformin a day too, and normally my reading's in the 5s. Today it was 5.7 but yesterday it was 4.9 🙂. I'm getting back into exercising regularly after a bout of the lurgy (and Christmas!) and hoping that my readings will level out again.

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.

Thank you


Fasting/waking BG this morning - 15.8
Bedtime (23/01) - no test
- no test done at bedtime becasue I ate some supper at 2248 approx 2 hours after my evening meal. I had 54g of carbs & 4u of bolus.
 
Morning 5.1 this morning, was 5.1 at midnight, 5.1 at 3am, so looks like basal is just about perfect 🙂. Might switch basal at breakfast and lunch though just for a bit of fine tuning :D
 
Good morning all 6.4 today 🙂 Another painfully early start at work I'm not a morning person! You're an early bird too Kooky!

We should swap jobs, I'm an up with the lark kind of a gal, always have been, love the mornings. Wish I could start work early and finish early, that'd be perfick. Hope work isn't too traumatic and the glow of a jolly good 6.4 makes it slightly less horrid 🙂
 
Thanks Northerner 🙂 I'm down to 14.2 now. It always takes so much longer to reduce high blood sugar and I get tempted to over correct, I must be patient.
 
Yes Kooky Often think it would be interesting to do a job swap and more than happy to do it on my early shifts! In fact I'd rather be up all night (as I sometimes am) than getting up at 6am Shift going well Busy and always on the go which works well for me keeping bs down! 🙂

Good to hear that you are busy, I think it helps the time go faster - nothing worse than a job that drags or you have to try and look busy! I'm very much a morning person, usually up at 5 ish, with the occasional lie-in, although I feel as if I've wasted half the day if I'm up later than 7! If I get some good quality sleep then I don't need much of it, so 4 or 5 hours usually does me 🙂
 
I'm kind of envious Never used to struggle so much Maybe I can blame the D?!!!
 
Fasting/waking BG this morning - 9.1
Bedtime (24/01) - no test - 2nd night running for not doing this test 😡
- no bedtime test done as went out for the evening for a meal & drinks - BG before evening meal 12.8 - tested before evening meal & bloused after evening meal by going into bolus advice & entering carbs eaten
 
Morning 5.4 today
