What was your level before tea? Hard to tell what might have happened without knowing the bedtime reading, but we all miss them occasionally! 🙂

Oh I do love diabetes when it throws a googly at you. So last night 5.8, midnight, - decided not to eat a biscuit. This morning 8:30 = 7.1!!!!
And I was so pleased with myself yesterday for a 6.0/5.9 bight/morning split. URGH

Hey, that is actually a really good result - any variance of less than 2 mmol/l overnight is excellent and this was a mere 1.3 mmol/l! 🙂 You're doing great - don't expect to stay absolutely steady overnight, and don't worry about the occasional glitch 🙂
 
6.0 - bedtime
2.9 - this morning

- no snacking on crisps during the evening
- no propper supper just small bowl of doriots
- bedtime test done half an hour after having a small bowl of doriots & when in bed

How long after injecting for your evening meal was the 6.0 taken Gill?

Evening meal = 19.55pm (later than normal evening meal due to falling asleep 😱! would normally be having this between 6pm and 7pm)
6.0 (bedtime test) = 00.02
hmmm so just 4 hours

I think that may be a clue as to why you woke so low, as you probably had some QA still circulating. It might be worth doing some tests between 4 and 5 (and possibly even 6) hours after injecting so that you can get a good feel for how much further you might expect to drop after your 4 hour test. For me, I can expect to drop around 1-2 mmol/l between 4 and 5 hours, and may even drop a little bit more after that. 🙂
 
4.8 after 7.7 night?
 
4.7 today; 4.9 yesterday...🙂
