Group 7-day waking average?

I'd probably accept that trade off at the moment! Have had less than 3 hours sleep for the past three nights! :(

OOoo not good 😱 Every month or so I have a whole night where I can't sleep, but you can guarantee I will sleep the next night, so i don;t worry about it too much, but night after night - you must be feeling very tired and lacking in energy - is it affecting your running?

Yet another night of not much sleep I'm afraid :( I think it is because the nights are warm and airless. I got off to sleep OK, but woke around 2 am, then just caught the odd few minutes until 4 am. Decided to get up! It doesn't affect my running, and I am an early bird anyway - it would just be nice to get a few hours in before getting up!

Anyway, I was rewarded this morning with a magnificent 4.8! 🙂 It's a long time since I woke in the 4s, must be the weather.
 
Morning 4.9 for me this morning 🙂
 
Morning 24.0 plus ketones at 5am absolutely no idea why. 6 units of correction and two hours later it was 17.6:(
 
Wet n windy here in Swansea. 6.9 for me today.🙂

Poor you AJ. Hope the rest of the day is better.
 
Thank you Alan and Bloden. I had another four units correction two hours ago so ten units in total has got it down to 10.3. Not brilliant but thank goodness that it is going in the right direction. Really don't know why it happened because I carb counted perfectly yesterday:confused:

Sounds like a fairly big correction dose Amanda, is it possible the insulin has become compromised and isn't doing its job properly i.e. working, but not very well?
 
Hi Alan that's a good suggestion but the same insulin yesterday was keeping me in low figures ie 4's and 5's. The four unit correction at 7am I did with a pen and new cartridge - but I would still have expected it to be lower after two hours.
 
If it doesn't continue to go down as much as it should I will change the insulin cartridge in the pump at 10am🙂
 
Down to 5.6 now - I'm thinking that it might have been the cannula site gone wrong
 
I woke with 4.9 i tested before bed and was 14.2 i took insulin to cover couple of potatoes and 1 slice of bread but the pots were hard in the middle so didnt eat. Starving before bed so i had 1 cookie and 30g of oat flakes! Did cover them but felt massively guilty about the cookie!!
