Group 7-day waking average?

[Northerner]

Back up to 11.5 this morning Probably the pizza I had last night, I was 7.2 before bed but I guess I hadn't finished digesting the pizza

Pizzas are notorious I only have one a year nowadays! Was it shop bought, takeaway or homemade? Home made are best, you know what's going into them and can avoid using too much fat that delays the spike.

Mine was a tidy 6.1
(suprised as I was 2.9 before bed, I was worried I have overeaten on the hypo treatment and be sky high all night!)

Result! 🙂

Unfortunately shop bought! I don't know how to make a good pizza base but sometimes I buy a base and make the topping but I'm not sure if that helps

That's what I have done in the past - shop-bought base and my own toppings. I find them much tastier and also the shop bought pizzas never look like the picture on the box when you open them up! 🙂

Have you read our pizza night experiment? It was quite good fun and surprising at times 🙂

How much did you have Natalie? I find it behaves itself much better if I can stick to around half a 'normal' supermmarket sized one (and I fill up on lots of salad). Something around 60g of carbs or less seems to behave itself quite well (though I realise I might be odd in that respect).

Have you tried splitting the dose (some before eating and the rest an hour or two after you finish)?

 

[Natalie123]

Lol, I ate the whole pizza, we had pizza night with friends 😱 silly me, wont be doing that again in a hurry! I haven't tried splitting doses before but heard about it recently so I might try it out when I have larger meals (I am a baked potato fanatic!)

4.3 for me and feeling much better today 🙂

7.4 today - I can't stand this yo-yoing, it's driving me mad. I see the hospital DSN next week so I hope for a bit more guidance and/or change of insulin or units to inject.

Yay! Glad to hear you are feeling better 🙂 Great result too!

I'm wondering if it's time for you to go on fast and slow-acting instead of mixed - are you going to ask them about this possibility?

It has been between 5.0 and 5.3 for 5 out of the 6 days for me.
This morning it was 6.8 and i know why.
I couldn't sleep last night so i made myself a cup of tea and had a fig roll with it.
BTW Asda's fig rolls are much better than Jacobs imo

 

[martindt1606]

Not too good this morning - a slightly high 10.8.

However its now a comfortable 7.0

Result

8 yesterday and 8.7 this morning.

But still balancing levels as just starting out on basal/bolus and it a lot better than the 14-15's I was getting 🙂

A huge improvement then! Big cheer for basal/bolus! 🙂

 

[Ikey the tinker]

It's consistent! 🙂 It is quite a tight range though, I tend to be between 5 and 6.5. What were you this morning?

6.5, just to prove myself wrong!

Hehe! Your best waking level for ages then! 🙂

Yes Alan - the same thought occurred to me and I'm sure my lovely DSN will put that idea to me. One question - how many injections does that mean a day please ?😱
