Looks like possibly you should have included some QA for the pastry and any thickener/flour in the sauce and had some QA for the supper, so hopefully next time you will be able to improve things 🙂

Thanks for the help/advice with this Alan 🙂
 
4.6 this morning. Followed by a nice, if freezing, day on the beach at Hopeman.
 
7.7 for me this morning.
 
Good morning 🙂 8.1 for me - I wonder if I'm going to start needing lantus again? I was 6.3 at bedtime, so still within 2 mmol/l, but can't remember the last time I woke up to an 8.
 
10.4 to start today. I am blaming the fact it's a Monday and that I had some Brie before bed which I can't seem to get the dose right for.
 
2.7 at 2am and I'm not sure why. I had four jelly babies and reduced myTBR so I'm now 9.5.

That is a little high for you but isn't much of a rise. I hope that you don't start needing Lantus again.

I think it's probably because I've not been running much lately, but starting back this morning (just had a lovely run in the sunshine!), so I think it will probably come down again 🙂
 
Morning all. He was 5.7 this morning, but 3.6 at 2am (AGAIN!). 12am basals have been duly tweaked!
 
4.9 bedtime, 3.2 4am tea and rich tea, 4.7 5am. 3.0 8am tea choccy bics ! 2 corrections must mean basal needs to come down a bit from 14 but 12/13 produced highs ! :confused:

Certainly looks that way, but when was the last time you reduced it to 12/13, and what basal do you use? Could be the change of season has lowered your requirements 🙂
 
Last week tried it. By coincidence I was eating salads all week with new spuds and piles of home made coleslaw and cold gammon plus slice of whole grain bread to keep up the carbs !?! Yesterday didn't eat much as out all day with trailer so had roll lunchtime and egg on toast for dinner. I'm sure when I eat a lot I need more basal (Lantus) and vice versa but apparently that shouldn't be the case ?? Will have to write everything down to look for a pattern but there are so many variables I usually give up. Must try harder !!

I always find, in common with others, that when I'm eating less in an effort to lose weight, I have to lower my basal. also when doing more excercise. I wish it were an exact science - wouldn't life be so much easier! 🙂
 
7.5 at 5am! 7.2 at breakfast. Happy with that.

So my logic may be right after all. Will perhaps try slight adjustments and keep a record 🙂. Thanks Alan
