7.2 The only reason I can think of is I had a lie-in and it was good!

6.0 this morning. Looks like I am up and down! No change in diet either. 7.9 yesterday morning. Go figure!

Really happy you asked this question. I was going to. I have noticed my readings are increasing in the morning again. I take 16 Lantus at 8am. Initially, I had 6s but over the past 2 days, 7s. Daytime is normally between 5 and 6, even before bed. I think the Lantus is running out during the night

7.9. Creeping up again though no change in diet. I'm going to see I can split my Lantus dose to breakfast and dinner time as it clearly isn't lasting

Personally, the combo of low carb and Empagliflozin sent me into DKA with ketones of 8.5. I was in hospital for 5 days. Be cautious

7.4 A bit random! Went to bed last night at 6.0! DP is a PITA sometimes

6.0 this morning. Very happy with this. Exactly 2 weeks ago, I was rushed to hospital with DKA, so getting back to a regime with good numbers and new meds, is important to me

Thank you so much for your replies. So glad to have people around for real life advice

Good afternoon. I'm quite new to insulin and have a question about storage. I want to go on a day trip and so my NovoRapid would come with me. Is it ok to sit in my handbag all day? I'm in England, so it's not exactly the Med! At home, it sits in a box with other meds. It's not a warm home...

7.2 today. Woke up later than usual, so maybe the ole dawn phenomenon reared it's head!

Thank you

Will give it a go. I don't have it often but sometimes, it just hits the spot

6.5 this morning Scrambled eggs on 2 low-carb toasts plus blueberries and raspberries followed the reading and 2 shots of insulin. Things are looking up!

6.9 this morning. I had 4.2 before bed last night. Never had one that low, so had a couple of crackers before bed. Still learning about insulin!

Thank you for the replies. Happy to hear a bite won't cause a problem. Incidentally, I had 12 fries today with my lunch instead of a bite of her cake!

Hi, I'm new to insulin so excuse the simple question. If I eat something with a little more sugar than my normal diet (I am going to a vegan fayre today with my mum and she is buying a bulk load of cake for her freezer) for example, a mouthful of vegan chocolate cake or mouthful of tart, do I...

6.6 Woke up ravenous but with more energy. DKA from last week is becoming a distant memory

6.7 The insulin duo and metformin SR are really putting things in order. 0.1 for ketones too, so very happy

9.1 this morning. Things are slowly returning to normal after my DKA journey last week.

Update Both insulin pens were delivered just now. However, no keytone strips so no monitoring of my keytones until my mum goes to the doctors tomorrow morning and tries to be given them.
