Tom,
Just thought i would share my thoughts about your pizza night! I do suspect that if you hadnt had your sugary tea etc when you went down to 4 - that you would have had a 'natural' rise because the pizza hadnt digested yet. I think this is why you woke so high. I found it hard with Alex to leave things and wait and see what happened - but when i do he just steadily rises and if he goes too high we correct - but the trick is to wait and not react to a level 4 if youve eaten something fatty like a pizza.

I hope that makes sense?🙂Bev
 
Makes sense to me Bev but we live and learn. I just wanted to avoid a hypo and have an excuse for sugar lol! The rise after pizza is caused by fat slowing the release of foods from the stomach.
