I was only kidding - go team!😛
Morning all.🙂 Sorry to ruin your beautiful figures with my 9.0 - must be the pasta I had for dinner last night. On a positive note, my BG was a straight line from dusk to dawn. 🙂😛

7.2 for me this morning. I dipped under the 7 barrier yesterday to a 6.9. I did a small jig around the kitchen in celebration.
Strangely I was at 4.9 before bed last night, 3 hours after eating (pasta with some dark chocolate after). I had 2 strawberries (maybe 2g of carbs and a small sprinkling of half spoon sugar, so maybe 8g of carbs) before bed, and I took 20 units of Levemir. I was a bit worried about being below 5 at bed, but I hoped to be lower than 7 on waking. It seems my dawn phenomenon is quite pronounced, as I'm really struggling to get my morning levels down. That means I'm always playing catch up. It might be time for that basal test, but fasting for 24 hours doesn't sound appealing!

You don't need to fast fr the full 24 hours Matt, you can break it down into chunks on different days. Have a read of the following (talks about pumps, but applies equally well to MDI):
