Group 7-day waking average?

Yes the 9.1 before brekki reading was the same day as the fasting reading of 2.5. The hypo was one of those hunger hypos so I ended up eating 6x jelly babies 30g of carbs instead of my usual 4x then 15 mins later when I did a hypo chek I ate 2x plain digestives which were 18g carbs altogether for my follow up treatment.

Anything under 2.7 gives me the hunger usually, the last one I had I just happened to be in Costa coffee and I practically inhaled a toffee muffin 😱 Right so, i wonder if the nurse realised that 9.1 was the result of treating a hypo? I still looks to me from reading your other posts that you're dropping overnight quite a bit, and turning the basal up by two units might well make that worse not better. If you look at your bedtime readings and the fasting readings over the last week how many points are you dropping or rising overnight?
 
Morning, 5.1 today
 
Morning folks.🙂 5.0 for me, yippee.

25/09 - 01/10
Fstng: 8.9 / 3.9 / 15.0 / 13.8 / 5.4 / 3.5 / 2.5 (3x hypos) (2x high)
Bf bfast: 9.8 / 6.4 (2.5 bef) / 21.3 / 6.7 / 5.9 / 9.1 (1x hypo) (3x high)
Bf lnch: 8.7 / 7.8 / 14.0 / 6.4 / 14.0 (2x high)
Bf dnnr: 6.0 / 10.4 / 10.7 / 13.2 / 10.1 / 7.5 / 12.0 (5x high)
Bf bed: 6.2 / 14.7 11 / 12.4 / 6.0 / 9.1 / 6.0 (3.9 bef) (1x hypo) (2x high)

these are going off fasting readings - as soon as I get up
25/09 - bef bed: 6.2 - 26/09 - fstng: 3.9 - 2.3mmol drop
26/09 - bef bed: no test - 27/09 - fstng: 15.0 - can't compare
27/09 - bef bed: 14.7 - 28/09 - fstng: 13.8 - 0.9mmol drop
28/09 - bf bed: no test - 29/09 - fstng: 5.4 - can't compare
29/09 - bf bed: 6.0 - 30/09 - fstng: 3.5 - 2.5mmol drop
30/09 - bf bed: 9.1 - 01/10: fstng 2.5 - 6.6mmol drop

going off breakfast readings as my nurse suggested I do there is a difference because by then I've gone higher because your body releases glucose basically as soon as you wake up to give you an energy boost before breakfast
