Since your fasting is similar to your bedtime reading, it still indicates your lantus dose is too high as you had 22g carbs with no QA insulin. The problem ahead is that if you do get your lantus dose correct i.e. so that it is acting purely as a basal insulin and not covering the extra carbs you eat, then you will wake to higher levels.
 
An improvement this morning with a 9.7. Still feel really grotty though.
 
Another late posting for me, bit weird as levels have been up and down I did not take any gliclazide this morning after reducing it yesterday.

On getting up 5.2

Before lunch 5.7 had being weed clearing all morning.

After lunch by about 3.5 hours 6.3

Before tea 5.1

What a wonderful weird thing diabetes is :confused:

I wish, can't understand why the levels have been so good, in theory I should have gone into the teens with out the gliclazide.
 
18.5 - 22:36pm - bedtime
- totally messed up night
- on the positive side really enjoyed going out for an indian meal to celebrate hubby's 49th birthday 🙂
- on the negative side messed up with estimating the carbs, I worked out 57g but should have been more like 87g! 😡
- then had 2 choc digestives & 2 rich tea after bedtime test but with no QA which is what I usually do anyway because I don't like to take QA before going to bed to sleep.

Morning, 4.7 for me rounding off yesterdays good levels without the gliclazide and none taken this morning.
 
Down a bit to 7.7 this morning and felling a little more human.
