As @azure says this isn't to do with dropping low. I have been advised that blood sugars do get elevated prior to waking up. I am not sure what constitutes a satisfactory rise but I would say an increase of 2 is probably still in the limits of it.

I have 18 in a morning and 16 at night

Hi I went through a similar situation with my docs. They basically moved me onto a different meter due to cost. Being naive I went along as from my perspective if it gave the right reading who cares. I was wrong though and struggled for over a year with it. The meter never worked in a morning...

Just after some advice/ thoughts about timings for Levemir. Currently I take my morning Levemir about 6am and my night injection about 10.30/ 11 pm. I have recently cut down my evening doseage as I tend to be sensitive to hypo early morning after breakfast. I am now wondering if it could be...

Always used gluco tabs. Following dafne I now used coke. It is quick and easy to drink and almost instantly raises my bg back up

Just curious if anyone else suffers from higher levels that just never seem to reduce during sickness. I have had an awful sickness and diahorea bug since Tuesday. I had to use sick day rules Tuesday afternoon as I have ketones. Since then my sugars has remained between 9-14 ( mainly the...

So I have been diabetic about 30 years. I have already had laser treatment in my right eye. Last week I had the dye injected and have now been made an urgent appointment for laser in left eye. Tbh it has freaked me out a bit and for the first time in my diabetic history am a bit scared of what...

Hi @Robinredbreast thanks for your reply. No I am not pumping just plain old pen. I don't have the half pen either just a full unit one. I have an office job so don't do lots of exercise and usually eat the same lunch during the week(exciting I know) I have contemplated increasing my ratio to...

13 before bed and 11 pre breakfast. Night time sugars are my big problem at the moment but I will get there if I keep tweaking

I should just add in the past I have tried moving to a 2:1 ratio but that always sends me straight to hypo

So I have been closely monitoring my sugars of late in a push to get my average down. At lunch I am currently on a 1.5 ratio to 10 carbs. My sugars always tend to rise late afternoon so wondering if I am best raising my long or quick acting Yesterday was a classic example. Pre lunch sugar was...

Morning all. So a slight victory in that I woke this morning to an 8. I gave myself a correction of 1 with my breakfast to try and bring me down to 5 so let's see. I have found that in a morning I tend to be sensitive to insulin and I am conscious of going hypo. I shouldn't but since when does...

Hi thanks guys. Well the food was already plated and was homemade lasagne. I used the carbs and cal book. Anyway the result was an increase in levels. I am starting to wonder if my evening doseage is correct. Currently I am on 1.5 ratio. I did try a 2:1 ratio a few months back but it sent me...

Forgot to add that tonight I will be eating at inlaws and when I usually get there it is all plated up. I will use the carbs ad cal app but I find it difficult to use the pictures. Yesterday's results Pre breakfast -12 Pre lunch 4.7 Pre snack/ evening meal 7 Pre bed 15

Ok so my day ended with a disappointing 15 blood sugar result. What was worse is that I was so focused on that and correcting I totally forgot my long acting and woke up at 17. That was a proper schoolboy error and I am so disappointed as I now have to spend the day correcting.l
