Hello. I've noticed a trend since I started using my new Contour next with an app that makes it easier to look for patterns (although the app mostly don't want to work which makes me crazy, but that's another thread...).
I usually am really good before going to bed, 3,9-6. Last night my profile was 4,6 mmol/l 4 hours after dinner, 6,4 mmol/l 6h after. Upon waking I was 15! (40 mins later I'm still over 15.) I did sleep really bad and woke with a headache though, but that is usually not the case. I eat like I usually do.
I haven't noticed dawn phenomenon in me before, and since it started creepin upwards right before bed I don't think that is it. (I will go back in my old meter and look though.) Could it be the Lantus being from a bad batch? Maybe I froze it in the fridge? I do tend to have some random highs during the day these last couple of weeks, but after two days of ridiculous high readings I switched both pens and all felt good for a while... Or maybe I just need to up my dose at night?
I must admit, before I found this place I used to take my levels about 4 times a day and didn't look for patterns. Was it between 3.5 and 10 I was happy, no matter when on the day. But I can't recall this big of a difference and this many over 10's...
Hoping for some input and ideas from you! Need someone to bounce ideas with...
