Group 7-day waking average?

03:35 BS 6.3. Went to bed early yesterday evening & woke up hungry! I had a feeling, reading on these forums that around this time is when BS drops to it's lowest point during the night, that my usual breakfast dose of 6 units might be too much! I remember that it was eating around this time for breakfast, in the past, hypos have caught me by surprise! So, compromised between the dinner dose of 4 & breakfast dose & went for 5 units Novorapid & had breakfast: reheated casserole! Will see what happens?

Still dark outside but, I'm not too bad albeit not quite sunny on the inside! With reasonable enthusiasm, at this time of the morning, Good morning everyone & have a great day! 🙂 Pretty much real & not Mona Lisa!
 
Good Morning All.

Codefree say 5.8
At 4.00 am
Taken when up.
Phone calls
Thanks everyone.
Eye check fine yesterday, needed a little more laser on my left eye which was over in a jiffy and no problems. Had quite a lot of laser treatment carried out on that eye last year before my dx but my vision in that eye has never been terrific from the age of 9. Walked into town and had a couple of espressos at Starbucks in Eldon Sq. and sat outside people watching.

Take care everyone and have a great day.

05:14 BS 7.4. Ahh! Lightbulb emoji! That's why I've gone lower than expected when eating around this time in the past! I was caught completely by surprise twice by hypos after eating around this time, 02:00 to 04:00, & went hypo about the 2 hour after mark! The first time in 2015 rushing to mum's bedside in HK, early flight, & one before a dental appointment, referred to specialist about 50 miles away needing 3 buses to get to & a 3.5 hour journey starting VERY early! Both times I was already anxious & the hypos didn't help! I'm learning! If eating at this time, after sleeping & getting up (that's different from not sleeping yet) I need less insulin!

Oops, now on earth did that happen.

My new sensor seems to be settling in very nicely.
 
Good morning. A bit dull here but might shape up nicely. 6.7 for me so coming down

Misty here this morning Carol and a lttle dull. It should brighten up later I hope.
 
Good morning gang.🙂

My liver still works.

We were woken at seven by the fire alarm, which would wake the dead. And me. Went out on to the front balcony to see if anyone else was running around, but apparently this happens every few months. It’s crying wolf. Nevertheless, a fire truck arrived, and located the fault to a service room next door to us. When these two big lads came towards us I thought they were coming to carry me downstairs. No such luck:(

So what’s this got to do with my liver? Well, I’m blaming that for this morning’s 8.2 when I got around to checking it.

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it😎
