Group 7-day waking average?

9.4 This morning... Had a terribly naughty meal out last night (With pudding) - split injections. Was hoping for better though. Went to bed at 4.8, woke up at 2.30 @ 6.4 mmol/l(Expected a rise - this was also 4 hours from when we ate pudding) and then a further risebetwen 2.30am and 6.30am as I woke at 9.4mmol... healthy few nights now I think to make up for it.
 
11.8 this morning due to last night's antics.

'I want to cry' doesn't quite cover it.

Oh well, morning basal/bolus/correctional should sort that out before lunch.
 
6.2 for me 🙂
 
8.9 this morning, dont know why, but still not in the doubles :D thats over two weeks now, think i should reward myself with 8 cans of beer, large pizza pak of Jaffa cakes and some jam doughnuts 🙄 or may be just a carrot :(
 
Slightly higher this morning at 5.4, but still well in the zone.
 
7.3 for me, which Im much happier with. That marks 24 days now in single figures... (Some low results in there, 1 or 2 middle of the night corrctions, and a few 8s and 9s however). Much better than this time last year waking up too 10 - 15s every day
 
4 today, felt a bit shaky, so got up and porridge straight away!
 
12.0 today. All because I had a few slices of ham for dinner last night after I got in from weigh-in.

DSN still hasn't phoned with an appt today, despite my anxious phone call yesterda requesting an emergency appointment. :(
 
5.4 for me..... but corrected an 8.4 during the night
 
24 at 5am😱😱 Joys of having a cold. Bolus correction brought it down to 10 at 7am. Have had another small bolus and set the TBR at 200%. Did this TBR during the day yesterday but panicked with bolus corrections so had a hypo mid-afternoon. I'm rather surprised that a cold needs so much insulin. Never noticed this so much on MDI

Aw! Hope you are feeling much better very soon Amanda! At least you have a better tool to help you deal with things now - hope things settle quickly.

I woke to an astonishing 4.1 this morning 😱 Now, considering that I don't take any basal insulin, that's very surprising!
 
A 4.3 for me...

I think ive realised if I snack on nuts, or crisps (Bolused for) or bits of meat, Ice cream (Bolused for) etc late on - ie after dinner 9pm onwards, I usually have an issue when I wake up the next day like ill be in the 8s and 9s, so i was brave and went to bed on a 7.3 took an "anticipation dose" and woke to a 4.3 . If I hadnt I predict Id of been in the 9s.
 
How did you manage 4.1. The rumours are true - you've been cured:D
 
Well done Benny🙂

I know! I was 3.7 before bed so had a jelly baby. Wasn't worried about night hypos as no insulin on board, so clearly I stayed rock-steady overnight! 😱 🙂

I think you should be kidnapped and studied for the benefit of us all. 8.9 for me today.
