Group 7-day waking average?

Northerner said:
Good morning 🙂 6.5 for me this morning after a very poor night's sleep. I appear to have done meself an injury, although I don't know how - pulled a muscle or something but it feels more like a broken rib :( Feels like I've been kicked by a horse! 😱 (I've checked, and there are no horses in my house)

Did you check for elephants though 😉

Poor you Northener I hope that you feel better soon. Did you do a thorough check for the horse it may be under the bed, in the wardrobe or even the loft😱

Ah! Now, I hadn't thought about that, but you do often hear about people not talking about the elephant in the room 😱

Amazing 4.6 after eating takeaway pizza last night. This virus is really, really strange in that I'm having unexpected hypos/my BGs are staying lower than they usually would:confused: Another duvet day today but hope to be able to get back to normal tomorrow🙂

You seem to experience quite high bedtime levels and then a significant overnight fall - can I ask how long after eating you are doing your bedtime test, and what you are eating? What diabetes medications are you on? Do you test before eating your evening meal? Sorry for all the questions, but people may be able to make some suggestions for improvement 🙂

I test between 2 and 3 hours after eating and sometimes before going to bed. It doesn't matter what I eat lately, the problem is that the Gliclazide is not keeping my BS down. This evening 6.2 before eating (one of my lowest for sometime) 2.5hrs later 12.0. Gammon steak (small) egg, mushrooms and a few oven chips. The high readings only started very recently, before this I was rarely over 10, no matter what I was eating. I have been quite lucky up and till now.

I was at the docs today and will be going on Byetta next week. We are working around the starting date, as I am going to Malta at the beginning of May and as I should only be on the 5mcg dose for four weeks. So will probably start next Wednesday on Byetta. This will give me two weeks to see how I get on with it.

I used to take Pioglitazone, but the doc took me off this as I had been on it for about ten years. This may be part of the problem. Heart problems don't help either. Thirteen and sometimes more pills a day don't help either.

Thanks for your help.
