Group 7-day waking average?

4.9 at 3.15 so decided to have 1 jb and woke to 5.7, probably could have rolled back over at 4.9 but just don't like to be in the 4's when sleeping:(
 
Morning all, 6.3 for me

are you fine with sleeping in the 4's or do you sleep right through and only realise when waking?

I seem to have my basal spot on so it stays rock steady overnight nowadays. I went to bed on 5.2 last night - at one time I would have had something to eat at that kind of level. I didn't test in the middle of the night, but if I had and had been 4.5 or above at 3 am then I would have just gone back to sleep. Certainly not recommended for everyone though - as you know I do seem to be much more predictable than most people. 🙂

I suppose it does all come down to having the confidence that your basal dose is spot on. A few weeks back I did knock 2 units off my dose which seems to have worked a treat, maybe I should have more confidence in myself in future.

Your waking to 5.7 after your nighttime jelly baby is perfectly OK though toby, so it's not like you overtreated and sent yourself high, so if you sleep more easily having topped up then it's probably the best thing to do. My general rule has been that if I wake in the mid to low 4s then I reduce my lantus by a unit. My problem with that now is that I'm only on 4 units, so a unit reduction would represent a 25% lowering of my dose which may be too much! Oh for a half-unit lantus pen! 🙂

p.s. how many units of lantus are you on? Perhaps a 1 unit reduction would be an idea if you can use a 1-unit pen (i.e. your dose is less than 24 units)
 
Good morning 4.0 for me
 
morning everyone, 5.8 for me this morning 🙂
 
morning all - 5.4

Completely missed this yesterday😱

I'm currently injecting 20 units of lantus which on the whole is keeping my bg fine during the night and throughout the day. Yesterday and today's early morning bg of 3.7 is probably due to the exercise I'm doing early evening, I reduce my QA insulin by a third on night's when I'm physically active but figure I should eat some toast later before bed to allow for the delayed effect.

Today woke to 6.1 after two jb's for a 3.7 at 4am
 
Morning all. 7.4 today, about par at the moment :(
