FBG 11.2 [emoji15] and in classic Cluedo style “it was The Citrus Tart in The Pub with Miscounted Carbs”

6.7 this morning and 7.7 by lunch. More testing required but would appear during working days(more activity) i have gotten a lower need for bolus insulin and today doing sweet FA the BGL has risen slightly.

FBG 6.0 and 6.1 by lunch ...abit more steady. Though I did cheat and had a few crackers because I was worried about dropping again.

FBG 8.1 then a drop to 4.8 by lunch. Another 3mmol+ drop on an accurately carb counted breakfast. Ugh don’t really feel like doing another overnight basal test. Really need to invest in a half unit pen.

And hypo 2 hours later :( ive only just changed my ratios too.

Well done! @Estragon FBG 6.9 ... back in the 6s ... just. Still a win!

FBG 8.2 this morning - glad i didn’t grumble as for some unknown reason i managed to drop 3.2mmol by lunch and would have been in hypo land if i was at my prefered 5-6. Breakfast carb count was hopefully super accurate as it was a breakfast bar and read straight off the label.

There are many factors that can influence insulin sensitivity and can actually lead to a reduction in insulin requirements. Some of the more common - weightloss, change in daily activity/exercise. Others report change in seasons and getting back in target range after a prolonged time travelling...

Definitely echo the above thoughts on checking Basal. Its always a pain in the proverbial when everything tracks nicely then the D throws you a curveball and need to adjust again. Though personally I don’t mind when that means my insulin requirements drop.

After you treated the first hypo with quick acting carbs (dextrose tabs) did you eat something with a longer acting carb ie an apple/slice of bread etc without dosing for it? Also were you very active that morning or anywhere in the 24 hours before?

Snap! @PenguinMum 7.8 BGL this morning for last day of DAFNE. It has been interesting. Will be pleased to not have to do a 3am BGL check again for awhile I hope.

@ianpspurs lol no not at Ramsay Street unfortunately.

8.8 this morning. Third time this week. Ugh. Oh well consistent. Lets see what they have to say at DAFNE this morning. :)

Thank you @Smiler99 Day one was good apart from getting homework to do a bg test at 3:00am. It was nice to meet some people in the same boat. Useful information but i think its going to be abit of a balancing act between their principles and what my endo says and what i know from personal...

FBG at 3:00am 7.2 (ugh first night DAFNE homework) who knew there was a 3:00am :p FBG before breakie 8.8 same as yesterday double ugh. On the plus side my Endo appointment went well.

42/6.0 I’m okay with that.... slightly up from Feb (40/5.8)

Thanks @ianpspurs it was a great weekend... well aside from my BGLs not being great. FBG 8.8 this morning :( I certainly won’t be the star pupil in my first day of DAFNE.

8.2 this morning. Very late reporting since it is 9:45pm here in Aus. Just home from a weekend away. DAFNE course starts tommorrow and a visit to the Endo to my results from last weeks tests.

8.9 this morning :( not sure where that came from with a before bed of 6.3. You win this round T1D.

FBG 6.6 Sips coffee. At least consistant ;)
