A pot of Greek yogurt's working well for me at the moment.

Had my lowest morning reading (5.0) for at least a couple of years this morning ... weight down to 18 stone 5 and BMI has dropped a point! 12 days until next GP appointment and feeling good!

14,612 steps yesterday.

5.0 at 7.20 ... my lowest morning reading for at least a couple of years :)

14,201 steps yesterday and 13,624 today.

Yesterday 6.2 at 6.25 (6.0 at 10.55 the previous evening) but not so good today - 7.6 at 6.45 having been 6.2 at 10.55 - but know why.

12,864 steps ... more or less a normal working day so quite pleased with that.

6.7 at 7.30 (had a bit of a lie in as I had an appointment at the doctors at 9.30) ... 5.8 at bedtime (22.40)

I've found I can get away with a granary roll at lunchtime on my current insulin dose but I'm looking at alternatives.

16,734 steps ... a new high!! Walked to the railway station from home this morning instead of getting the bus (2.5 miles) and set me up for the rest of the day!

6.8 at 6.40 having been 7.4 at bedtime (23.05)

14,415 of them there steps today. 68 less than yesterday :(

6.3 at 7.50 having been 6.8 at bedtime (22.40).

I've been having a similar problem so I'll give you a tip somebody else has given me @Worrierfrog - try a protein snack at bedtime. Greek yogurt worked for me last night - 4.9 at bedtime and 5.7 this morning whereas I've been 7s and 8s most mornings even after being around 5 the previous...

14,483 steps today ... a post-pedometer high!

I remember that feeling - like all you did was eat and test your blood sugar! It will pass though, I promise. Good luck with everything!

Were you still nuts when you woke up? ;)

Really pleased this morning. Was 5.9 at bedtime (23.05) and had a pot of Greek yogurt as a snack before hitting the sack. Injected 7 units of Levemir ... woke up at 2.20 and was at 6.1 ... back to bed and up at 7.15 to a reading of ... (drum roll) ... 5.7!! :woot:

@ickihun I wasn't so much asking how much insulin as to whether I still need to inject if I have a protein snack. As I understand things, protein does increase your levels but much slower than carb so not sure if I just have the snack to hopefully keep my levels stable until morning or whether I...

Thank you, but I couldn't have done it without you! Still a bit confused though - if I had the protein snack that I'd thought about having (the 1.8 carb, 20 protein one) should I still be injecting Levemir??
