Group 7-day waking average?

The DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) course teaches you how to adjust background and rapid insulin, although it sounds like you are doing this anyway 🙂 You can test whether your basal is about right by doing a 3am test, and perhaps having a carb-free meal during the day.
There's lots more info here if you're interested: http://www.bdec-e-learning.com

Thanks Looks like I've got a bit of reading to do. Will post my results. 🙂
 
12.5 this morning
 
A nice 4.6 for me, after I didn't believe the first stab which said 3.2! 🙂 I didn't believe it because I felt fine and as a non-injecting T2 hypos are rare as hen's teeth. Does anyone else get this?

3.2 is actually just below what a non-diabetic might see regularly as a fasting level, and your retest indicates there might be a bit of meter inaccuracy at play. We are told that hypos are below 4.0 so that we act before things do turn bad if we are on hypoglycaemic mediactions 🙂

Terrific numbers! 🙂
 
4.2 to start with today. Corrected in the night due to keytones caused by the cold I have and put tbr to +40%. A day on the sofa for me
 
13.7 this am for me 😱 I have these occassional glitches!
 
Morning all, 7.4 this morning was 7.3 4 bed
 
Good morning all 🙂

4.4 - bedtime
6.1 - this morning

- 21.33pm - tea & QA - @21.06 - hypo - treated with 4 jelly babies
- 01.10am - bedtime test was done
- no supper tonight due to late tea

Pizza (takeaway) for tea / garlic bread / had 2 mini choc bscts as garlic bread not eaten

100g cho/carbs

Insilin 10u humalog, split into two doses, first 6u before eating, remaining 4u 1 hour later

Before pizza = 3.3 (treated) then 6.2
+1 hour = 3.7! ( but took remaining 4u of QA!)
+2 hour = 5.3
+4 hour = 4.4 (bed)
 
6.2 this morning. I tried to be was right at the top of the zone, 9.1, last night trying make sure there were no night hypos. It seems to have worked. Sheer fluke though, I've no idea if I'll be able to do it again.
 
5.5.......hangover still though!

Oh, that's a shame Steff :( Do you think you might be OK with Byetta this time around? Or perhaps something like sitagliptin (a pill, that I believe works similarly to Victoza/Byetta)?
