Did you have any insulin with it? It's a pretty steep rise though, but you do seem to rise quite high whenever you have something before bed :(

yes had 6 units instead of 4 like i did the night before i know very very high never gone that high before deffo donmt think i hypo n rebounded either
 
another morning at 17.0.

Is it normal to get like a belly ache after you have had insulin? I don't mean at the injection site, just a general belly ache? It's nothing too bad, just uncomfortable. If this is normal, does it go once you are used to the insulin?

Have you been increasing the insulin at all, or are you still on the original doses? I don't think the insulin itself will be causing your belly ache, but it may be a factor of your continued high levels - if it persists, I would see the GP. It's not something I remember experiencing after my diagnosis and starting on insulin - it may be totally unrelated, of course, as everyone gets belly ache now and then, just that we naturally think 'I wonder if...' 🙂

Hope things improve very soon for you 🙂
 
Haven't increased at all yet...emailing GP tomorrow so she will prob increase then.

It's probably in my head...just feels like when I take it, I get a bellyache for a little while after. I have got a pain in my kidneys too (feels like it is anyway) and again, it becomes more obvious when i have just taken the insulin. But I am probably just heightened to every niggle and pain at the mo!

Thanks Northie xxx I am hoping once I start increasing the amount I shall start to see some improvement! Just makes you wonder how high I will have to go to get some response from the stupid body of mine!
 
It could be the anxiety you are feeling about it causing you to tense up. I imagine you have been started at a very low level and working up to the required dose - better than having your levels crash and also better generally that your levels are reduced slowly but surely 🙂
 
Good morning 5.1 for me today
