Claudette, mine does that - GP explained that it's going back to the level your body THINKS it's happy with, which is why it can take a while to retrain it.

Mine was 10.9 this morning, but I had an issue with my evening tablet timing, so hopefully back below 10 shortly :)

Mine are between 25/30, I am taking insulin all though classed type2 I am taking 810 units of Levemir and 100 of Novorapid a day up to 15-20 injections a day with no results the only thing that got mine down was a stay in hospital on an insulin pump but as a type2 I cant have one.

I AM insulin resistant in the true sense, now my sight is affected.

8.9 this morning as well.
i am doing a bit of an experiment. for the last two nights i have had a couple of oatcakes between 30 mins and 1hr of sleeping. the pre bed reading will be a bit higher than usual, but the fasting one has been 8.9 the last couple of days.

i have no idea whether this is because i am putting carbs in my body so by themorning the liver thinks it does not have to dump alot of glucose.

maybe the clever guys here can advise whether there is some science to this!!!!

well i ll keep doing it for a few days and see what happens...

4.9 this morning, and for the last 2 days. I had a little "mishap" last week :oops: and achieved a 6 :shock: - first for many weeks! I'm being good again now, though :angel:

Well done Claudette :clap: :clap: -- you're on a roll. We seem to have swapped places. My daytime levels are OK but for some reason my fasting levels are sailing into the 8s and I'm damned if I know why. Let me know when you want to swap back! (if arm and leg symptoms persist for a long you could always mention them to your GP -- you might need a vitamin boost).

5.5 this morning. :( I didn't eat last evening 'cos I wasn't hungry - maybe that had something to do with it!
