[QUOTE="hynes48, post: 1474362, member: 331517"] I woke this morning with a 15 and i haven't got a clue why. Genuinely. It makes no sense to me. Yes. It annoyed me. However, it's just one reading and i deal with it. Give a correction and then monitor it until it reverts back to normal. If you beat yourself up over every "bad" reading, you will go certifiably insane. If you try to make sense of every single reading you will go certifiably insane. Try and view the diabetes as a pattern and manage the pattern as opposed to the specific number. If the 15 was a one off then you just need to forget about it and move on. But if the pattern is you waking high each morning, then address the pattern. The sensor should indicate when you are spiking and then it is a case of making incremental changes to your basal rates or your eating habit before bed (bolus ratio and/or type of foods - high fat is difficult for me to manage!) Diabetes sucks. It sucks now. It will suck tomorrow and forever more. That's a fact. No point in focusing on the problem. Focus on the solution and work towards better control. Best of luck.
