Rubbish 7.2 today realise I've been a little less controlled recently, need to slap myself back on the right track - speedos on, off to swim myself back into the 5s

No stress thou as counter-productive. Enjoy. This time of year our immune system is working harder too. Give your body a chance to adapt to older weather. You know how temperamental our system is. If for longer than a week I act but not too many times as bg control can become obsessive and put (me) on edge. Slowly, slowly catch thee monkey!

6.1 today

Morning all 5.7 today

7.2 after waiting in all day for a phone call that never came

Call them Monday if nothing today. They have to tell you why, either way. I bet busy with others today, thats all.

9.8

I average 7.8 first thing. Could never understand why sometime it will be 9.0.
6.7 his morning, it all has to do with food, I think. Don't eat before going to bed. At least 3 hours before sleeping. I gave up alcohol and my fasting BG went up! It's levelled out now.

Some can get away with alcohol to better their fbg. I use a nibble of protein as after dinner eventually I start rising again. I'm hugely insulin resistant. Keep experimenting to find what works for you.

5.8 today, which is a relief as yesterday seemed to be The Day of High Numbers (between 7 and 8.5, which I haven't had for a while). I've no idea what caused it.

Morning All

Back to 4.8 for me today.

It does seem to be better if I have been to the pub than if I havent......

My lowest yet to date at 4.0. Didn't feel unwell or shaky either.

5.8 this morning.
(BGs are all over the place at the moment, but Arthur Itis is giving me a hard time again at present, so I suppose that's the reason.)

Where are you keeping your meter? Cold battery?

9 - the virus lingers on! Thankfully during the day readings are better and in the 5-6 range!

Hun the dawn phenomenon occurs about 3am so your 10.8 is after a dump. If u have cheese about 11pm it could block the dump so less than 10 so on waking less than 12.5 if having a lie in.
Mine is 2mmol/l better with a block.
Your liver definitely thinks your starving. Why? Are you going long periods without food. 7hrs sleep is average so the liver thinks that's too long. A nibble before the start of your 7hrs could help. No use after the dawn dump.
A block on rising is another tip but I don't want to confuse matters. Do one at a time hun. I perfected one then discovered other worked too.
It doesn't work for everyone. It does me thou.
I hope it can help you. Message me if you're unsure as I know I can get carried away.

This damp weather @debrasue is the catalyst. I'm thinking of you. Keep covered up even when just damp not cold. Is it your back?
