Not sure what to make of today's readings. First test said 3.2. I'm not on insulin, and felt a bit tired - but not much more than any other morning. Tested again and got a 2.4! 😱 Drank half a cup of black coffee and retested - 4.5.
10.30pm 4.8 @ bedtime and after a healthy low fat meal for tea (Had a couple of dextrose before bed just to get me through the night as there may have still been a little insulin on board too)
woke @ 2am - 7.2mmol/l < Pretty much where Id expect to be after a couple of dextrose, maybe a little higher than expected.
woke @ 6am - 17.5mmol
Night before a quite simple (And after exactly the same meal)
Bed - 5.7, waking 4.7 < Lantus is OK
Only thing I can put it down too is stress from work & not a great night sleep (A little) or the OH has had a stomach bug and ive got it on the way althoguh I do feel OK.
11.2 this morning, before bed 3.5 (had gammon, egg, broccoli and chips for dinner) so had 2 small squares of chocolate and 2 wine gums as thought I still had a bit of insulin on board......strange....maybe fat content in chips.
