Mine was 13.4 this morning and 23.9 at teatime. I have lost my early warning signs of going Hypo, so my blood could drop & I wouldn't know, i.e 23.9 this evening.

Hmm.. I think pump failure, is this what it looks like?

22:35 8.1 0.6 correction
23:21 7.3
02:07 5.1 - correction worked
CGM showed it pottered along at 5 until 4ish when it started gently rising. I don't do DP (in fact I'm more likely to drop in the morning, I'm pretty convinced I don't have wake up hormones & my body tries to drop me in an effort to get a lie in!)
05:03 7.3 bolus of 1.15 for breakfast... Waiting for curve (normally 15-20 minutes in am) making lunch, making breakfast, it curves the wrong way
06:03 8.1 yeah I gave up 2u flex pen & then ate too soon so now it's soaring (& I probably have no basal) excellent

I'm going to have to change my pod now (and possibly hit it with a hammer) :bag:

Snap (well sort of), went to bed on 6.2 and tested at 3.15 and was still 6.2 and woke this morning to 5.9
I don't think I would be able to test that early as my Lantus dose seems to make me very sleepy. It takes all my will power and a loud alarm to wake me up at 6. The crazy thing is I cannot lie in at the weekend and am always up at 6 am

I'm an early bird too @petepontiac

The reason why I tested at 3.15 was my dog was going crazy and barking, likely he heard a cat in the garden so was trying to scare it off :rolleyes:

and the dog was thinking.........."I know it's still dark out side but theres that scary feline creature skulking around the garden I must wake my master just in case it manages to get in side!"

8.6 last night, 4.5 this morning
