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 :D

I may well have to stay on 3 Asda slimming shakes plus one regular meal for the rest of my life :shock:
