Hi all, good morning! 6.3 today for me 🙂

6.7 for me, but was 5.0 at 3.am, still Dawning, then.

Bloden, As you can see, I'm still getting a bit of a dip and a rise in the night, but not as dramatic a drop towards 3am as I used to, so it's been worth doing. I swapped to taking Lantus at 9am initially, but it seems to take ages to get going with me, so wasn't covering the continuation of the DP after I'd got up. So I now take it at 11am, which isn't ideal when I'm going out, but am sticking with it because it seems to work. Oddly, I did get disappointing figures about a week after the swap, and I've had to increase by a unit, from 7 to 8 since changing the time, but otherwise, it didn't seem to mess things up at all once I'd done the shift forward. ( I thought about gradually bringing it forward a couple of hours every day, but being an I'm patient sort, I went for it in two chunks in the end, so from 6pm, did it at lunch time the next, and then morning the day after, I just reduced Bolus to compensate. Funnily enough I had my most stable days for ages while letting that bed in!). Nothing went wildly pear shaped, they were just a bit higher than I'd like generally, and increasing by 1 unit seemed to iron out periods in the day when I wasn't staying level, but didn't cause overnight hypos. I am teetering on the brink some days, I probably need to get myself a half unit pen.
Sorry for the ramble, thoughts went down in random order, hope that helps!

Thanks, Robin. It's always good to hear other people's experiences. 🙂 Very helpful stuff.
 
Happy Friday everyone. 6.4 today, and still fighting with the basal, that consultant had better sort out that half unit pen issue or he's going to have a ferrel cat within striking distance. He's almost like he has a homing signal with appointments, I get to the end of my tether and then there he is. He probably thinks I'm full of rage the entire time, but I just save it for him 😉

Any word from our Amigo? Hope things are improving. I do worry when one of our bunch misses the morning register, I like to know everyone is accounted for and safe and well. Amigo sending you my best get well vibes X
 
Morning all. 8.2 for me today. Taking a day off work today to do some shopping ready for my holiday in 4 weeks time, I'm busy every weekend leading up to it so won't get a chance.

Good afternoon all and 6.5 for me.
Poor you Amigo. That's just miserable for you being so poorly. Like everyone on here I'm thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. Thankyou for posting. Can't be easy right now. And don't think I've ever seen you with such a low BG! xx
