That's a superb sequence, @Kaylz! 🙂
Thanks 🙂 would have looked much better without the hypo and the high of the 7.6 but seems most of us suffered a bit yesterday haha x

My 'range' is 3.9 to 7.8 - all your results fall within that, and would also be pretty similar (or better!) than a lot of people without diabetes might expect to see (except that they are blissfully unaware! 🙄)
 
Today has been a good day.

Woke at 9am on 7.1
11:21 - 7.4
13:16 - 7.1
17:20 - 7.9
19:23 - 7.2
Now at 21:31 I'm 6.9
 
Much better day yesterday until the Chinese 🙄. Very small hillocks rather than full blown Himalayas with added hypos!
Libre vs finger prick Libre was checked a bit more often than noted below.
Waking - 5.4
10:20 pre-brunch - 5.3/6.2
1:15 - 6.3/6.7

19.20 - 3.3
20.29 - 8.1
22.35 - 2.9
23.27 - 4.7

It's actually quite interesting writing everything down as I only ever see my pump graphs these days normally 🙂
 
First day for two weeks without my Libre :(
7.30am 5.1
9.30am 6.8
1pm. 8.2
3.30pm 3.2
6pm. 5.8
10pm. 6.6
I did miss my Libre - so nice to have another one on now for a couple of weeks 🙂 Fortunately, this one seems to have similar levels of accuracy as the first one - all readings are within 1 mmol/l of a blood test, so I trust it 🙂

Blood tests yesterday:

04:40 - 6.5
10:45 - 7.0
13:50 - 3.3 (was warned by Libre and confirmed 🙂)
16:45 - 6.5
22:00 - 6.2

Libre shows I was rock-steady overnight, something I have found very reassuring since I started using it 🙂
 
My birthday is in November wonder what my dad would say if I asked him to get me a Libre haha x
 
the last two days results:
11.02 - 6.9 (had a lie in due to bad back)
13.05 - 7.7
16.34 - 5.9
18.57 - 6.1
21.54 - 7.2
01.09 - 5.5

09.24 - 7.1
11.50 - 8.1
13.48 - 6.2 lunch was steak and salad (with lashings of Lea & Perrins & Balsamic vinegar) - my absolute fave at the mo
19.04 - 7.0
21.13 - 6.9
 
Yesterday (libre vs finger)
Waking - 5.4
9:25 pre brekkie - 5.3/5.8
12:20 pre lunch - 6.5/7.4 was doing housework all morning so thought this would be lower,
3:15 - 3.3/5.2 always go lower after dog walk, and then shoot up. Liver kindly must still be helping out 🙄
7:05 pre dinner - 4.4/5.9
Bedtime - 5.3
 
Yesterday:

05:05 - 6.4
10:50 - 7.0
16:40 - 5.6
18:00 - 4.1 (and a jelly baby! 🙂)
22:15 - 7.0

According to the Libre I hovered around 4.9-5.1 through the night, then jumped back up to 6.6 as soon as I got up! 🙄 Certainly making me rethink about my former waking levels, and how little they probably have reflected my overnight levels in the past.

Bedtime one was a bit high, I'd eaten a banana ( with insulin) to ward off overnight cramp, which I often get after riding on a hot day. Seemed to work, anyway, was back down to 5.5 this morning.
My basal is at an all time low of 5 1/2 units at the moment.

9:30am - post breakfast - 5.8
12:01pm - pre lunch - 5.2
2:29pm - post lunch - 9.2 (didn't wait long enough between jabbing and eating 🙄)
2:54 - just thought I'd keep an eye on it to make sure it was coming down without intervention - 8.4
4:25pm -pre dinner - 6.6 (good job I didn't take the half unit correction my meter suggested)
7:35pm - back from shopping and just wanted to know - 5.4
9:51pm - bedtime - 5.9 x
 
@Robin Are you on pre filled Lantus pens? Just wondering how you got a half unit Lantus basal pen as I'd like one. I'd like to try reducing mine slightly, but a full unit now would be too much I think.
