It looks like most days your values are almost the same before both meals. And that the majority of readings are either in target or only the slightest touch over. (Which could be accounted for by meter 'wobble')
Thank you so much @Benny G and for putting the graphs together. I will do before tea and before bed tomorrow if that's ok.
 
Hi Gill, tables and graphs can help show patterns, the more data the better. With your last Hba1c being an impressive 55, I think your control is excellent, and the noticeable lack of hypos is especially impressive.

If you want any more tables or graphs making feel free to post your numbers.
Thanks @Benny G 🙂

A small chance of hypo before dinner. Again very good numbers.
Thanks once again. Re the small chance of hypo before dinner do you think it would be worth me altering my lunchtime ratio at this point or wait until I do the next few days?
 
Have you finished the basal testing and adjusting tresiba now? If you’re happy with your tresiba dose you can move on to checking your bolus and correction ratios

I don't think I ever started the basal testing properly because the days were so far apart that is 16th November for an attempted overnight basal test but I ended up only testing once and went hypo then on the 21st November I attempted to do a breakfast one - then I even tried a lunchtime one but ended up hypo basically they've all been a bit of a mess really. I love the MySugr link you sent me but....with every day and night and every meal being so different no time seems like the right time.
 
Hi Gill, do you use google Sheets?

I have some tables that you can reuse, they are google sheets.
They look like this:

When you type in your meter readings the averages, the coloured squares, and pie charts are created automatically.
They look fantastic! Please can you send me your reusable tables?
