Group 7-day waking average?

Cheers Northerner. I now myself think this is the thing to do. Getting fed up of all the hypos 😡. The only problem in the way is that it was only last Friday that i altered my teatime/bolus ratio from 1:1 to 1.5.1 so would I not have to wait like I do with Lantus/basal ie - it takes 3 days for any changes to start taking effect and another 3 for them to settle down and take full effect?

Well, I know they say that about lantus, but I found that it was generally much sooner for things to settle with the lantus and you do have to do it sometime so you can at least start seeing the effect. Any changes to your mealtime boluses will take effect immediately and be gone within 5 hours - there is none of this hanging around like you get with lantus. You could change your meal ratios every day and it would have no impact on the following day 🙂
 
Good morning 10.4 today after yesterday morning's 3.3 :confused:
 
That's an interesting observation. I hadn't noticed that pattern.
 
It certainly shakes me all about:D
 
Morning, 9.2 for me today.
 
Umm, 5.6... I'm not complaining you understand, but I would dearly love to know what is going on. My numbers haven't been in this stable since, well ever really. I know I had that hypo yesterday, but on the whole I've been between 5 and 9 which is exactly where I'm supposed to be. Did Murphy fall asleep maybe?

I would consider reducing lantus by at least a couple of units Gill.

Well I went ahead and reduced lantus by 2u so from 24u to 22u. Don't know if I'm too happy with the higher results but can't do any more changes for 5 or 6 days.
 
Afternoon all, been a few days since I posted, this morning a surprising 4.2 🙂 been in the 5.0's and 6.0's some days.
