Oh my. I just spent some time reading your history. Nasty diabetes experiences. And here’s me, grumbling about being stuck above 7.
have you tried changing your insulin pen/vial as sometimes you get a faulty one xI’m all over the place! How was yours this morning?
I didn’t manage a single result under 12 yesterday despite 5 corrections totalling 19 units of Novorapid and 32 units of Semglee. I’ve reduced my insulin sensitivity from 1.2 to 1. Basal obviously still isn’t right so keep upping it every couple of days. Keep reminding myself I’m only 6-7 weeks in but I think I’m going to end up needing quite a lot more insulin
This mornings a weird one. I haven’t eaten yet
8am - 10.2, 5 unit correction
9am - 12.3, 2 unit correction
10m - 12.1, another 2 unit correction.
Continuation of dawn phenomenon or is my insulin actually making it worse?!

For me, this morning, an excellent 7.6. However, I had had two delicious slices of my sister’s chocolate cake and Bulgar with my aubergine last night, 11.1 Post cake and then 8.9 at bedtime. But now, 1:45, I’m 6.2. I’ve gotta think, somehow, I’m usefully compressing the Glucose numbers.I’m all over the place! How was yours this morning?
i ,get dp from about 4am onwards i do a correction dose b4 i get up and my bgs will continue rising till i eat something not really a breakfast person myself but i have a couple of ryvita with cheese and everything settles xA good point. The same thing happened to a lesser extent yesterday (same upwards trend) but I have a new pen this morning. Hopefully it’s not a bad batch! I normally have pretty pronounced dawn phenomenon, prior to starting insulin I would have to eat something as soon as I woke up or I’d continue to rise until lunch time. I’m not a breakfast person though so the specialist suggested correcting with Novorapid instead.
