Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 4.9 on this beautiful Spring day.
I managed to go away for the day yesterday with only half a unit of rapid insulin! I think I am trying to make every possible mistake, but all was well and when I got home at 8pm I was only 7.5 though I was a little hungry due to not eating too much.
Enjoy your Monday.

Whoops, it’s easy done. Glad all was well even though you couldnt eat much.
I’m doing my best to make every possible mistake too, so you’re in good company :D.
 
Haven't seen @AJLang for a while
 
Good morning. 7.4 when I finally awoke. Clocks changing would be a little more effective if I remembered which clocks don't do it automatically. (I am so lazy!)
Enjoy the sunshine, I think everyone in the UK has it for a change.
Sorry for Ireland, though.
 
I'm not testing this week, but next week, I won't be eating any bread or wheat products as it's Passover so I will be checking then to see if the consumption of bread or cereal make a big difference to my readings

@Ljc. It was mostly good stuff Lin but I reckon it was the two chocolate salted caramel ice-creams on a sticks happened my way plus 2 slices toasted white with marmalade that bumped up my bg🙄
No idea how the ice-creams came to be in my fridge in the first place!!! Honest!!
Not a very good advert for newbies is it😳
And yes, insomnia sucks!

The diabetes fairy may be hibernating, but Dawn Phenomenon isn’t🙂

I woke with 5.9. But by the time I’d organised myself to actually get out of bed and stand up, Mr Liver thought I needed a helping hand and booted me up to 7.1. Never mind, I’ve had worse.🙂
 
So aggravating the dawn phenomenon (which i assume is my issue) .
6am - 7.1 (Not bad, usually in the high 7's or 8's. eat some Livlife toast and a small block of cheese)
8am - 8.9 :( (dammit, clearly even low carb toast won't cut it in the morning, usually at other meals)
9am - 7.5
10am - 6.6 (this is pretty much my average at the moment on diet on exercise)
11.30 - 6.8

To be honest it was the 8am one that annoyed me. I know theres a struggle in the morning but 8.9 is the highest i've been in a while. Bit worried now that going on Metformin will be the solution the docs go with to counter. That said my average just still seem to be 6.6 (39.5 approx hba1c on current readings). I hate you dawn phenomenon!
