4.7 today

First measurement 3.8, double checked and was 4.4, triple checked and was 4.2 so god knows. Had my breakfast and just took half my usual insulin to be safe.

4.4

The last time I was measured was the 4th of July. I was 52 (6.9%) which I'm not happy with. That means I'd be about an average of 8.4 day to day which is too high. I've totally changed my diet and the way I look after myself since that measurement though. At that point I really wasn't testing...

4.2 when I woke up at 4:15am. Popped a few glucotabs. 5.4 when I woke up again at 9am.

Been running pretty low recently. Was 4.3 today, 5.2 yesterday(which was after a late night hypo snack the previous night), 5.2 the day before again after a late night hypo snack the previous night, 4.3 the day before that, 4.6 the day before that, 4.4 the day before that, 3.8 the day before...

4.6 today

Woke up at 4.40am this morning for some reason. Did a little test as I never wake during the night so obviously don't do any middle of the night tests so decided I'd do it this time as waking at that time is a rarity for me. Was 6.4. Went back to sleep and then woke around 9am, measured again...

So, which do you go with when you get two different blood glucose readings when you get wo different readings depending on which finger you test? This is such a frustrating thing. Especially when it's hypo range. For example, right now I just measured the ring and index fingers on my right...

4.1 this morning. Lowest I've had in a while. Had one glucotab before getting some breakfast.

5.8 this morning at around 9.30am. I'm happy with anything under 6.

6.8 last night and 5.8 this morning

I probably should pay more attention to what happened to my BG after a hypo but I've always done the same. I hd it explained to me to take a fast acting sugar, like jelly babies, then after that a slower release one.Because of that I've always done the same. 3 or 4 jelly babies, then a slice of...

5.8 this morning at 8.45am. Happy with that, especially as I had a hypo last night around 8pm and had 4 glucotabs and 2 slices of toast and jam to sort it so like 60+ grams of carbs.

I'm on Abasaglar as my basel. Took 12u at about 11pm. I just measured again and am 5.1 almost 3 hours to the dot later.

You should try the myfitnesspal app. That's what I use. Tells you the carbs in each food. Just scan it and it tells you or if there is no barcode just type it in.

Question. A few hours ago at 9pm, I measured my blood and I was 10. This is way over my usual number, I guess I didn't take enough insulin with dinner. Anyway. I took 2u of novorapid as correction. I'm not sure exactly what my ratio is so took 2 to see what would happen. Anyway, my question is...

What do you guys think? Hypo's are just an unfortunate inevitability of being a diabetic but how many is too many before you should think about switching up your insulin and/or speaking to your doctor or DSN? In the last 3 months I've become more insulin sensitive, I think due to starting to...
