Its all part of your potty training. Different plots for different pots. Anyway the important thing is the trend in the results ie stable .going up or going down.
 
Tuesday 23rd this morning at 6.15am, 4.7mmol/L ,
saw the first snowdrops in my garden this morning, a bit later than normal-jonquils and white violets have been out for weeks.
 
A whopping 7.4 this am, didn't eat many carbs at all yesterday in fact I had an apple, avocado and a lidl roll! The only thing I will say is I woke up having a tropical shower so don't know whether sugars had gone low but I'm on metformin so shouldn't have a hypo or my liver just decided to do a massive glycogen dump!

It's very rare but, still possible to have a hypo caused by metformin. What was your Blood Glucose on going to bed and did you test when you woke in that "Tropical shower?"
 
Hi normisthenan my bs before bed was 6.5 but I'd not long had something to eat. The bs reading this am was within 10mins of said tropical shower as was getting up.

Don't quote me on this but, I'd suggest it wasn't a Liver dump.

Perhaps an allergic reaction to the now "infamous" Lidl (other brands are available) roll? ;)

P.S. I'm not a 'nan' nor a 'naan' nor a 'narn' LOL
 
God knows what it was ladies tropical showers well over for me, unless since being diagnosed all my hormones are up the shoot! :(
