Group 7-day waking average?

Northerner said:
Good morning 🙂 6.7 for me today, which is surprising since I had to stuff myself with carbs in the middle of the night after yet another hypo :( Dozing, but felt odd so tested and 2.4, so I had three jelly babies which is normally sufficient for me. However, when I tested 20 mins later, still feeling odd, I was 2.3 😱 Decided to get up again for a while and had a further 30g of carbs, rose to 8.9 around half an hour later and went back to bed.

Pretty sure this must be my own pancreas as I had a relatively low-carb meal - omelette with a few chips - so wouldn't even have had enough novorapid to cover the subsequent hypo treatment. Worrying, hope this is a short-term thing, like when it happened last time

Hope it calms down night time hypos are the worst :(. For what's it's worth I'm pretty sure my pancreas likes to work at night, even if my basal is clearly running out early afternoon and I do no carb dinner, and I rock a double figure before bed I'll still wake in the 5's. Even in hospital when my daytime figures were in the 40's I'd wake with single figures. I'm petitioning for research on the nocturnal pancreas!

Sign me up! My pancreas clearly still works as it covers all my basal needs, but I wonder what prompts it to work a bit too well one these rare occasions? Or maybe it's my alpha cells that aren't producing the correct amount of glucagon occasionally to counteract the insulin? :confused:🙄
 
Good morning, well what a mix up , today my CGM was reading 4.9 which is about where I usually am in the morning, tested my bg to calibrate it and got 14.2 😱 so tested bg again and got 6.9 :confused:

My CGM was very helpfully telling me there was a calibration error so have left my glucose sensor to warm up and start again. A technology/diabetes fail so far today.

I hope your nocturnal pancreas calms down Northerner and returns to its normal state 🙂
 
Morming everyone, 9.9 this morning, have not been on for a while, have my eye screening on the 5th September, little worried this time as the problems with having to go back last year.:(

I know the feeling Susicue, I hope it goes well for you 🙂
 
Hi 🙂

24/08
10.5 - lunch time

25/08
8.3 - breakfast
 
Good morning 🙂 6.2 for me today. Thankfully, no hypo. I was 4.8 before bed, which ought to have been fine, but I had a biscuit just in case - really shouldn't have to do that! 🙄
 
Morning all 4.9 for me this morning, clearly my new favourite 🙂

We won't mention the toast and cashewnut butter required to get it, apparently I'm destined to eat supper🙄
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

woke at 4:25am with a hypo of 2.8 - felt very sweaty & shaky - ended up having 4 jelly babies plus 3 more besides 😱

Good morning Pete 🙂 I notice your waking levels have crept up a bit lately, can you think of why it may be happening?

As long as you know why, that's the main thing 🙂 Might be worth trying to find a less carby snack though!
