What the....?

[SacredHeart]

Went to bed on 5.3. Just about to have breakfast (go day off lie in, go!) and depending on which hand you believe, I'm either 10 or 9.3?!

HUH?!

?????? wierd these waking numbers ????

 

[SacredHeart]

Yeah. I normally get between 6 and 7, with a 1 point difference between bedtime test and waking. I'm wondering if I hypo-ed overnight to get a jump like that?

 

[am64]

i am trying to work out that dawn phenonomin aswell ???

 

[margie]

Could it be the lie in? If you are getting up a couple of hours later - you may be seeing a bit of dawn phenomenon that you wouldn't normally see.

I have seen test strips give results like that - HCPs don't seem to believe you if you mention it though.

 

[SacredHeart]

It's possible, but I've done longer lie ins (I do adore my bed 🙂) and only ever seen the number go down rather than up by so much. It's all very confusing, isn't it?!

 

[am64]

hope you not comming down with something !

 

[SacredHeart]

You and me both!

The difference is pretty normal for the range of meter error. I'd go with the 9, because that would mean I wasn't in double figures 🙂

Probably just one of those things, if you see it happening the next few days then you might need to tweek your basal.
