Fingers crossed it settles down.

I reckon the DF replaced my sweetener with sugar lol.

I’m wondering if it’s a timing issue again.

 

[everydayupsanddowns]

My thinking would be dose-timing, carb load or a combination of the two.

If this is a regular breakfast which usually works OK, and you are using 'tried and tested' strategies, then it might be a slight change in insulin need and your basal might need a tweak.

All that is from a T1 perspective of course.

Fantastic flat-line overnight though! Mine was more like the Alps last night. 16.x down to the 2s, glugged Lucozade and woke to 7ish

What did you have for breakfast?

I've had the same breakfast two days in a row. Yesterday I went from 5.9 to 8.6, today from 6.1 to 5.7. I have no idea why.

Oh dear, @Ljc - I hope it doesn't mean you're sickening for something, or anything like that. Like Mike, I only know what I'd do from a type 1 perspective - and in fact what I do do from a type 1 perspective, as I always spike after breakfast, though injecting earlier helps and so (for me, I wouldn't suggest it for anyone without ME!) does a rest immediately after breakfast.
Does the weather effect your readings?

Thanks @everydayupsanddowns , @Beck S and @TheClockworkDodo
Juliet, I do hope that I’m not coming down with something.
The world and it’s wife affects my levels 🙄

They’ve been a bit higher than I like since the cold weather started , so I may need to do a tweak. It’s been ages since I’ve seen such a sharp swift rise on my graph after eating, it gave me such a shock !

It was my usual brekkie 2 slices of wholemeal bread one had a little peanut butter on and a large coffee with sweetener and milk, I injected then waited my usual 40 mins I need for brekkie, after 2hrs my levels came down sharply, so I’m hoping it’s just a timing Issue.

I’ll be replicating things exactly this morning.

@Beck S , I think it does it just to spite us lol

Gliclazide makes us produce more insulin, but not in a controlled way, so your pancreas may well have put out a surge , I had the same things happen when I was on them.

That's true, I didn't think of that. Bodies are such weird things when you think about it. No wonder they do odd things now and again.
