Group 7-day waking average?

5.8 for me this morning 🙂
 
7.8 today, 9.9 last night before I had cheese on toast. Yummy. 🙂

Hi Gareth,

Did you take some bolus for your cheese on toast? If not your basal must be too high?

I'm still taking steriods for my Haemolytic Anaemia so my BG will raise in the evening. So it's sort of a balancing act. I've had a word with my DSN and she seems happy enough for me to keep doing what I'm doing. (apparently some of her other patients on steroids are going to bed with a BS of 18+).

mmmm, I certainly wouldn't be happy going to bed with 18+ 😱 nor would I be confident I had it right going to bed on 9.9 with no bolus for cheese on toast.....you did well to have a waking level of 7.8!

Since I got out of hospital 8 days ago, my average morning BG in that time is 7.6. Considering the first two nights I did go to bed with a BG of 18+, I think I've done well. Still it would be nice to get of these steroids.

You have done well to get readings that good in the morning following 18s in the evening.....hope you can get your levels more stable and in range over the whole 24 hours. 🙂

That's the plan. I think I have a few more weeks of steroid treatment and if my haemoglobin levels continue to improve then hopefully I'll be off them around new year.

Reduced lantus by 1 unit on the weekend and woke to 6.2 yesterday and 5.4 today, near enough what I went to bed on🙂

I had a 4.6 this morning, my lowest ever. Happy to stay at that level now if I can.
