Work day so was up at 4.30 this morning. Sugars last night 5.6, had pre bed snack which I know will see me wake between 6 or 9. Usual basal , pen in use for last 4 days with no problems.
13.2 on rising ( 13.4 on back up meter ). DP??? Very doubtful so early in morning for me.
At this point I just have that feeling that if I do a correction dose with my breakfast it's going to end up messy later on. But hey the meter is telling me otherwise.
So did I go intuition or meter?
Actually bit of both. 1/1 carb ratio on breakfast, at 13 I would need 1 unit of insulin to drop me 2 on the meter. But something somewhere is telling me use my intuition.
So ignored intuition and had 2 unit correction dose to hopefully hit 8/9 later on, didn't take 3 unit correction dose because deep down I knew something wasn't right.
2 1/2 later ............... 3.2. ******!!!!!!!!! Why didn't I trust my intuition?
Still no idea why I was high but looking back I now realise that my little friend and companion ( diabetes) was taking the p**s
P.S have no idea how the word Actually appeared on the thread title, I blame the diabetes.
