Group 7-day waking average?

5.3 yesterday and today.
 
Oops 3.1 for me :(
 
Woke up at 5.45 feeling slightly frazzled / disoriented because I was having a nightmare :(. Husband suggested that I test myself...I was 11.5 !. Took 4u as a correction and was 5.8 at 7.30.

Not sure 'why' I had the nightmare as I'm feeling fine within myself.

Has anyone had experience with bad dreams affecting your sugars by making them go very high or very low ???. I'm thinking that maybe the 11.5 was caused by my body's response to something unpleasant.
 
Hi everyone - 3.7 for me today

- 3rd morning on the run with a fasting/waking hypo
- had 4 jelly babies then 15 mins later 4.1
- 5.5 breakfast

- 14.7 - bedtime - had cheese spread sandwich & 25g bag of crisps = 49g carbs & 6u of QA which is what meter advised also had BI 16u

Sounds like you need less than it advises at night - perhaps your ratios are different when you are mostly sleeping.
 
I'd call that a result then! 🙂 Naan bread puts my levels into orbit 😱

Precisely why I perhaps should come off gliclazide I think. Have a new patient check a week Friday, one step closer...
 
5.1 today ... steady as she goes, Capt'n.
