Group 7-day waking average?

Good afternoon 🙂 3.3 for me this morning - on waking
 
Morning, my very favourite 5.2 today, after several days of fairly constant rebounding to hypo every few hours. Went to bed on a 10.8 though (carb counting malfunction involving a shepherd's pie and fear that even a half unit correction might send me down the drain), looks like another super exciting Lantus reduction routine. Honeymoon, shmoneymoon :(
 
Love the 5.2 KC 🙂 But as you say, a 5.6 drop overnight is a little worrying, hope the reduction helps. I was 6.4 this morning.

My body loves a 5.2, I've developed a weird rebound to 5.2/5.3 before meals 80% of the time, elastic nocturnal pancreas 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 6.9 this morning on waking
- bedtime - 2308pm - 13.2
- teatime - 1955pm - 6.2
- no snacking in between teatime & bedtime
- ate 1x oven bottom muffin with salmon & crisps 47g carbs & bolused for these 🙂 at bedtime
- a short while after bolusing for supper ate 2x digestive biscuits 20g carbs which I chose not to bolus for because of any insulin stacking on going to bed
 
7.9 today, just back from holiday and forgot my meter again, deliberate mistake?, and considering I was travelling and eating the wrong things yesterday I have to be pleased 🙂
 
Good morning, 5.1 today.
 
Hi 🙂 15.8 this morning on waking
- bedtime - no test
- teatime - 2000pm - 6.0
- went out for birthday meal & tested again after meal at 2148pm & reading then was 17.9 😱
- ate approx 82g of carbs & meter advised 11u bolus which was done 🙂
 
Morning 5.8 for me, after hypo week last week I now seem to be running a teeny bit higher, I think it's because I threatened Lantus with a reduction 🙄

It's an interesting strategy - 'intimidation of medication' :D I wonder if it's got anything to do with the change of season? I've always had a variation at this time of year due to lower light levels and colder weather.

6.2 for me today. 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 4.0 for me today.

I like the idea of 'intimidation medication' :D, I will issue a warning with each bolus today and see what happens.
