[QUOTE="Ratty_Kat, post: 1032525, member: 33660"] I have noticed that there seems to be a pattern of my sugars being really high the morning after sex. I thought at first that it might be just a coincidence, but since I have been noting [I]EVERYTHING[/I] to spot patterns in highs/lows, it is cropping up too much for it to be that. My reading can be 6 before bed and then 17 in the morning? It's incredibly frustrating and diminishes the after happy in the morning when you wake up feeling awful. Does anybody else seem to have the same thing happen? If so, would you mind sharing how you managed to control it? I don't really want to plan when I'm going to be intimate and adjust basal rates etc, as it's already a mood killer having to test beforehand - though experience has taught me that almost going unconscious during is an even bigger turn off! :facepalm: So I always test lol. I can laugh now, but I assure you that it was not in the [I]least[/I] bit amusing at the time! However, if adjusting basal is the only way, I think I'll have to compromise some of the time. I can't really ignore it because it would make my morning readings frequently high (lucky me hehe ;)) and that is not going to do me any favours in the long run. I would really appreciate the advice ... I think the boyfriend is terrified that I'm going to tell him 'no more' :D [/QUOTE]
