[QUOTE="Isobel94, post: 401192, member: 68605"] Hi Cupcake32, I would suggest keeping a diary of these results and having a chat with your diabetes team. It can be depressing to keep a diary when your results are all over the place (I can attest to that) but in the long term it's good because sometimes you can even see yourself all of a sudden something little you might be doing wrong. There are times indeed when I believe I'm doing everything right and by the book but then I realise that a little mistake (such as not taking that extra unit of insulin, or not eating that extra biscuit before a walk) caused an unruly chain of highs/lows. But to have massive highs in the morning, after not eating after six? And then, bizarrely, having a low in the morning? Perhaps it's an irrelevant question, but have you checked your injection sites for lumps? I had a dreadful experience with that once. Not only did I inject in pretty much the same spot the whole time but I injected through clothes and didn't always change the needle :O. After a weekend of being in the 20s I went in a mad dash to my clinic where they figured out what was wrong very quickly :oops:. Never, ever again! Keep testing and see what happens, Izzy. [/QUOTE]
