[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1474238, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=383513]@Just_Me_Rachel[/USER] Yes I completely get this.. Firstly I try to recognise why, so was it too many carbs too little insulin, ate late etc, then it's correction and carry on. I try not to let numbers get me down anymore as otherwise your life will be ruled by imperfection, accepting that these happen and taking action to correct means I can move forward with my day. If I see a repeat then it's a basal test to check my doses are at the right level. I almost have a sign that appears in my head saying 'next' when I get one of these, which happened last night to me as I was at 14 mmol/l at 2 am, felt thirsty so woke tested, corrected, drank water and went back to bed, then woke at 6.7mmol/l. As long as you know why, sort your correction dose and just carry on, don't let the numbers rule ;) [/QUOTE]
