Also remember any BG over 11 and the effects of your correction are liable to be different from correction at lower BGs

I think a lot people forget this...................

For me personally its a normal part of my BG management..................and I have correction factors for different bands of blood glucose..................

Anything over 17 and I need 1 unit for every 1 mmol.....................I suppose this could go down to 0.5 units, but I try not to get that high obviously and seldomly do...............

Dear all,
Having miscalculated my QI last night following chips and a battered sausage from the local chippy, I went to bed with hi levels and woke up with hi levels - See last 2 days readings attached. 19 before bed, +2 correction (obv not enough), 14 on waking up (+3 correction) and then about 6.8 ish all day.

Today, I feel like I've had a hangover all day and felt really tired. Now, at only 6.30pm, I'm considering going to bed as I still feel the same and am even bumping into things, walking in zig zag lines etc! No, no alcohol sinse Saturday night and even then only a small amount.

I'm not ill in anyway.

Is this a normal feeling after having been so high?

Many thanks for any thoughts you may have.


you mite find why you woke up with slight high sugars because you could off possible gone low in the night not woke up and your body has kicked in and kicked out to much glucose
