Type 1s: What Is/was Your Blood Sugar This Evening And This Morning ?

Bed at 5.7, got up at 5.7. Got this Smartguard thing properly calibrated and titrated! :boom:
 
5.8 going to bed, 6.1 waking. Yep, I only needed to double my levemir (last week it was 5 & 4 for flat line, now it's 12 & 10). Thanks hormones.
 
4.1 before bed 11:40pm
8.4 at 3:20 am ( 2u correction )
4.1 at 7:30am
 
My sugars are always high. 3.4 before bed. Quarter of a digestive biscuit wake up at 5.40am and it 21.3. Correction dose but sugars still 14 or above. Taken a bit more then dropped below 4 again. I do eat a lot of carbs thats only he because I'm trying to put weight on. I take 18 units of lantus. I do try and rotate my injection sites but wondering if they in the wrong place. I inject in stomach bum thigh arm. Not a fan of the stomach as weight is like a twig

4.3 before bed and 5.2 on waking. Heatwave on it's way here, won't see those numbers again until it's passed.
 
7.7 before bed, 12.8 this morning 8.4 now

(Edit: so I must have underestimated the effect of a 4 egg, bacon, onion, chorizo and cheese omelette with a small portion of chips, Interesting how long it's effect is)

@David Wass wonder if you went high as a rebound to being low before bed? then crashed again after correction as your liver grabbed back some glucose?

I do have an overactive thyroid too i am on carbimozle and antihistamine for thecside effects. I am wondering if this is playing on my sugar levels.

I've no experience of that condition or medication so can't comment further, but I'd still stand by my original comment

Is there anything wrong with 6.1? It's a perfectly normal blood sugar.
