4.5 this morning.
Spoke to my DB nurse last night. She advised me to keep dropping my overnight lantus until I get a reasonable waking level (which is what I was doing anyway). So down to 10 units tonight and see where that takes me.

4.6 yesterday and 4.7 today
I may well have to stay on 3 Asda slimming shakes plus one regular meal for the rest of my life

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
When life gives you diabetes, swap lemonade for lemon juice and squeeze it over almost everything you eat
