7-day waking average

11.7 - 22:49pm - bedtime
- decreased lantus from 20u to 18u
- rich tea biscuits x 2 (5.6g carbs each = 11.2g total)
- 3.2 - 03.45am - the hypo woke me up - then 5.6 - 04:00am
5.5 - 08:01am - fasting

lantus decreases:
Tue 29.10 from 24u to 22u
Sat 02.10 from 22u to 20u
Tue 6.11 from 20u to 18u

Hm. Regardless of the night hypo, 11 down to 5 is still a big drop. Did you do a correction dose before bed? It looks like the 18u all in one go may be a bit much, might be worth splitting your dose, 9 at night, 9 in the morning. Give it a few days, and see what happens.

Hi Louise,

Thanks for your reply. Yes maybe a split would be something worth considering but after all the recent changes with my lantus with each one being so soon after the previous one I'm going to leave it a few days now to see if/how things will settle.

I'll keep posting.

11.3 - 22:27pm - bedtime
- rich tea biscuits x 4 (5.6g carbs each = 22.4g total) - eaten after bedtime test - was just in one of those eating moods where once I'd had the taste of one biscuit i wanted another
12.8 - 07:01am - fasting

lantus decreases:
Tue 29.10 from 24u to 22u
Sat 02.10 from 22u to 20u
Tue 6.11 from 20u to 18u

Hm, interesting. It would have been interesting to know your bg level a) without the biscuits or b)during the night. I have a feeling that without the biscuits, you may have been just about right this morning. Do you inject for your biscuits?

I guess maybe you could try it again tonight and see. Would also be good to see what happens, without eating any carbs.

18.5 - 22:36pm - bedtime
- totally messed up night
- on the positive side really enjoyed going out for an indian meal to celebrate hubby's 49th birthday
- on the negative side messed up with estimating the carbs, I worked out 57g but should have been more like 87g!
- then had 2 choc digestives & 2 rich tea after bedtime test but with no QA which is what I usually do anyway because I don't like to take QA before going to bed to sleep.

Aw, did you have a good night, though? Eating out is always tricky.Hopefully you'll be able to notice something tomorrow morning.

Before bed last night: 10.7 (didn't correct as qa from dinner was still working)
This morning: 8.2. Had 3cps for breakfast so had 3u and 0.5 correction dose.
4hours later, my bg is 4.9

Does this mean that 0.5u drops my bg by 3?!
