Group 7-day waking average?

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 ?😱

I inject 4 times - once for the long acting (in my case, lantus), and 3 times for each of my meals. I don't have snacks so don't need to inject for them. Some people find they need to split the long acting into two injections so they get better 'coverage' over a 24 hour period, or to cope with times when they need more than others (for example some people need more in the morning than the evening/overnight).

Thank you oh fount of all knowledge diabeticulis....!! 😛
 
That's because I just made it up - but I bet you've been called worse things !!
 
6.3 for me this morning. I was 3.2 before bed so had to have jelly babies and cheese on toast, but it seems to have kept the night hypos at bay 🙂

Wednesday's average was 7.104545455 mmol/l
Lowest was 3.9 mmol/l
Highest was 11/5 mmol/l

Thanks Alan , i agree i believe i feel at my best on waking when in the 5s:D
 
5.3 for me this morning 🙂
 
Good morning 5.4 for me
 
A rubbish 13.3! Was 3.9 at midnight so gave 2 jelly babies - so should I have not ( but that would prob have meant checking often through the night) or has he still gone low and rebounded, which I'd be surprised if that's the case. Who knows!!!!

Oh dear :( Yes, I think you were definitely right to give the jelly babies, and it does sound like it might be a rebound high as I can't imagine 10g carbs causing such a rise. Perhaps next time give some slow carbs after the jelly babies?
 
7.4 this morning.
 
Morning! We have had a better night with waking of 6.5 (7.7 at 10pm) 🙂

Not the most stable of weeks for me - 9.5 this morning

Though 5.4 at 3am - I woke and tested as I'd gone out to a gig last night (yes I know out 2 nights in a row!) and had a few pints 🙄
