Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 a high 10.0 this morning after a hypo at 3 am, my pump suspended insulin for 2 hours thank goodness. Completely unaware of it until I checked my pump/CGM this morning 😱 fantastic technology.

Oh, I'm so pleased it worked so well for you Flower! 🙂
 
Thanks Northerner 🙂 I'm extremely grateful for having it but it does scare me when I see what I've missed. My legs are still shaking now, pity they don't shake when I'm hypo 🙄

Hope they fit you in before March and provide some useful advice 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 6.9 for me today - quite surprised as I woke up in the night and tested at 5.4, so not sure why the rise :confused: I was having a nasty dream just before waking, so maybe that?
 
Good morning a 6.0 for me and a 6.3 at bed time. Need to spend some time making graphs and simple pictures for the consultant on Thursday so I can get him to understand the nature of my issues, might do him a slide with an animated evil patty just to make my point!

Probably adrenalin/cortisol I reckon, nightmares must increase stress hormones surely given that the brain doesn't distinguish between dream state and reality which is why the body paralyses itself to prevent the brain doing something stupid. Hope it wasn't too hideous 🙂

Wasn't terrible. I was out on a run along the coast but I kept getting stopped by the tide coming in. Then I was in a café arguing with a woman! :confused:

If I was a dream analyst, I'd say you feel you're being held back in life by a force beyond your control, hmm interesting....good job I'm a data analyst then eh 😉

I'm looking for the positives - at least I was asleep! 🙂
 
Good morning 7 again The 5.9's seem so far away Interesting dream Northerner Least you've done your exercise for today!
 
Morning 5.2 (former house favourite) today and almost no sleep. If this is Patty getting used to the reduced Lantus dose then it's a record 2 weeks settle in time as opposed to the standard six weeks....oh Patty what am I going to do with you :(

Sorry to hear you're not sleeping well Kooky :( I hope things improve for you soon!

I was 6.3 this morning, which I'm happy with - had an evening of battling lows last night, ended up consuming twice the amount of carbs I'd bolused for in my evening meal and worried I might have another of 'those' nights - thankfully, not, but quite a few weird dreams that I've now forgotten!

Glad it wasn't one of "those" nights, I had the same last night with a stubborn refusal to stay stable, maybe there was something in the air 😱
