Happy birthday for yesterday! (Im guessing it was yesterday!)

5.3 today @ 6.30 when I got up. Tested again after I got to work and I was 6.7mmol - The advent calender effect I call this.
 
Its an 8.0 for me today, but I blame my Bronchitus for that even if its not the cause. 🙂
 
14 for me but I didn't do my 3am blood test and bolus - I decided that I wanted to sleep through last night
 
4.2 this morning, I did feel a little low on waking so had a tiny peice of french stick, so I assume it was a little lower than this slightly confuzzled as I went to bed on a 7.7, so Id of expected to of been a minmum 5.5 - 6...I suspect, dog walking has had an effect
 
9 for me :( least it's not double figures yet. Ill have to up my evening shot I think

Thanks Phil. It's almost certainly the gastroparesis. The Consultant warned me that I would have to carry on with my 3am bolus even when on the pump. The great news is that my seven day average has come down from 9.8 on MDI to 7.8 for the past week:D
 
morning, 6.6 for me.

....great reduction! 🙂 instead of bolusing at 3am can you not adjust your basal profile to suit ie increase your hourly delivery at say 1am for an hour?
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately a problem with gastroparesis is erratic BGs so I never know what it will be at 3am - it can literally be anything between 5-20.although it tends to be around 14-15 but it does vary a lot.

oh!.......'spose time will tell! 🙂
 
Strange night 8.8 at 3am with .8 bolus. 13.3 upon waking😱 I don't know where the increase came from but I did eat late so guess my gastroparesis spike was 4am rather than 3am
 
Naughty Ben.... Went out for a meal had chips :/ (Lots of chips deep fried kind) .... Went low after a couple of hours so I knew the fat was going to cause a delayed spike (Usually aorund 5 - 6 hours for me) But I fell asleep. Woke up about 2.30am feeling groggy at 14.5mmol, so took a correction and woke to 8.4mmol..

Need to learn how to deal with these fatty meals better!!
 
Another rubbish 10.2. Keep having dreams about killing my boss, not sure how to dose for that.
