Group 7-day waking average?

Oops! Sorry, I misread it - thought you had gone up to 26 mmol/l! after breakfast! 😱 Makes much more sense now! 🙂 So, you are seeing a gradual improvement from the constant 17s you were getting before - you'll get there before too long! 🙂

It is satisfying seeing the numbers gradually fall 🙂 LOL....I thought you might have misread it!

Why so Mark? That's a pretty good number and well within range 🙂

Mostly because I had a series of readings in the 4's and I'd rather be at that level in the morning.

As you say, it's not a bad number really.

However, the 1 hour post prandial was +2.6, which in the past has been +1.8 and +1.9 for the same breakfast. Of course it's difficult to know if those numbers are exactly comparable because even if the food was the same, how active I was each morning is probably slightly different.
 
Afternoon all 13.6 had some nibbles last night so expected a high this am no supper tonight and will be back on Target tommrw 🙂 _ I HOPE _
 
Not too good again today. Was 2.7 during the night :( thought I massively over treated it but thankfully was at a nice 8.7 this morning .
 
5.1 this morning

I'm still worried that you are either waking hypo or hypoing in the night Lauren, I do think you need to consider lowering your lantus, or having a word with your DSN about splitting it. The fact that you think you massively overtreated but still only woke at 8.7 suggests that you have too much for your overnight levels. :(

Yeah I am definitely going to drop another unit tonight to 37units. To be honest it was hard to convince myself to move for that low :( I just don't understand how my levels have changed so much recently as before the last few months my morning levels were in range of 8-14 , now most of the time they're low.

Things can change - a couple of years ago I had to drop my lantus from 20 units to 10 in the space of a month or so, then things seemed to settle for a while. I hope your reduction gives you a nice 5.0 tomorrow 🙂

You may not be doing anything wrong. Do you test as soon as you wake? The liver will normally start boosting it's release of glucose as soon as you wake (before, in some people!) so levels start to rise from the moment you open your eyes. Having said that, 6.7 is a good number to wake on. What are your levels like as the day progresses?
 
5.2 this morning
 
3.5 today, will hope for that 5 to come tomorrow. Lantus must be doing some heavy duty work as I went to bed on a 12.0 🙂

Lantus changes are said to take 3 days to work their way through, but as you say that's one heck of a drop and I would suspect you are going to need a bigger reduction. It would be worth waking on an 8 if necessary so that you could get a better handle on where you need to be with the dose i.e make a bigger reduction than you think you need and see what effect it has. 🙂
 
13.4 for me.

Had my lowest reading last night...11.9 🙂 I feel another increase coming on...Im getting closer to those magic figures!

I seem to be always waking in the 13's at the moment, 26 units has lowered it by 4mmols, so I am hoping it's not gonna take another 26 to lower me another 4!

I very much doubt it will! I'm guessing another 4-6 units will see you in single figures for waking 🙂
