I got there! Raised over £900 for charity, too - mainly because nobody sponsoring me thought I could actually make it. Dislocated my knee three times on the way down and permanently damaged it, so it’ll be the train for me if I even do it again. So I’ve got two out of the Three Peaks, at least. Did Ben Nevis years ago before I fell to bits.

Great that you raised a lot of money what charity profited?

Thanks @db89 I did indeed see it and that quote was fully in my mind when I posted, I hadn't in the past noticed this affect until last night and I'm not sure if it was the pasta or the beer that induced the hypo (could well be the timing of both and the insulin). The pasta was not frozen and was actually still luke warm when I radiated it with tiny microwaves!

It was hot and tasty, I had a couple of beers after, was surprised to have a 7.9 before bed (was expecting it to be much higher - it usually is with an evening like this) and I'd have usually done a smaller correction and probably still woken slightly raised the next morning.

@Mel dCP having just read your post and I agree with you...............so it must have been the beer..........or conversely to you're monday night!

I’m T2 diet controlled and can eat some types of bread (which I keep in the freezer and take a slice or two when wanted) and reheated pasta without too much effect on my BS and @Alison54321 I have been known to eat the odd pear or apple
 
Good morning or should I say ' Good Moaning'. High levels overnight with no relief after hefty boluses.
Thought: it had to be the needle insert of the pump not delivering the dose correctly.
Needle insert changed as soon as waking. Strange: no sign of kinking or leaking of needle insert.
Awaiting the miracle of insulin's effect.
If still not better, the insulin might be 'off'. Ahs the joys of TID !!!
 
I feel ****!!!!!!!
Trusty dexcom is showing me running along at just above 4 all night. Just outside alarm range.:banghead:
Got up feeling sick, light headed and absolutely no appetite. Sure signs of being low.
Seems I'm gonna have to give that one to my diabetic buddy, crafty bu**er, getting me whilst I'm asleep.:)
If all is fair in the world then I guess it stands to reason that at least one of you guys has had a brilliant night with no problems
Onwards and upwards, albeit feeling ......... well you can probably guess my current feelings.:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Have a great day everyone.:)
 
@therower as I'm not wearing a sensor at the mo I can't say my night was good, but I did go to bed on a 6.something and woke to an 8.3 so I can only assume I had a good steady night! :angelic: Yesterday was a good day too - BG tests ranged between 4.3 and 8.6, even with a couple of 2hrs after food tests!

today will probably be the opposite - just because :shifty:!
