Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 4.8 for me

Which is good considering I was 10.8 when I went to bed, no idea why unless my body was being naughty cause it was craving junk food! And didn't get any.
 
7.0 for me this morning.
 
A slightly rubbish 7.5 for me today. :(
 
5.6 this morning
 
5.3 for dad (random test this morning don't normally test first thing - saving test strips)
 
early start, couldn't sleep - 4.7
 
Stupid Dawn Phenomenon

Decided to check periodically after dinner last night - haven't done that since the first week I had the machine. Readings were 7.2, 6.3, 6.7, 6.9, 5.9.

So how the heck do I wake up this morning with a 7.3?? 😡
And what reading do I have to go to bed with to get that down?

I usually go to bed on a 5.7 and wake on something around a 6.1

I found that my morning readings came down as I lost weight. It?s usually caused by all the chemicals whizzing around your body first thing in the morning that help you get started causing temporary insulin resistance (on top of any that you might also have).

I would agree with Mark, Gary. Morning insulin resistance is actually very clearly illustrated when you are Type 1: in the morning I need 5 units of insulin for one slice of toast (15g carbs), but by lunchtime I can have 45g of carbs for the same 5 units of insulin - going to show that a combination of extra activity from my liver when I get up coupled with insulin resistance early on requires three times as much insulin as later on 😱
 
My waking BGs have been fairly stable this last week or so. Usually around 10.5-11 then falling during the day.
 
Late again - 4.5 for me!!
 
6.5 for me today, probably down to my late Levemir dose at 23:30, usually 21:30-22:00.........

Might experiment with a little Levemir at dinner [17:30-18:00] to keep me going until the later time of 23:00....
