Type 1's What is your BG in the morning?

4.7 for me :) Dropping Lantus to 14 seems to have worked.

Sanober, if I had jelly babies around I would probably eat them (must be a childhood thing). I keep Dextro tabs for hypos because they seem more like medicine ;)
 
Hi, 6.8 this morning. Now just recovering from hypo 3.4 after some housework. Only good thing about hypo,. 3 blackcurrant dextrose and 2 rich tea biscuits. Yummy.
 
6.0 yesterday and 4.4 at 9 am this morning. Lowest I've ever had. Must have been the 3 glasses of 125 ml red wine I had last night with dinner. I have had a total of 5 glasses of alcohol (wine) since January. I was ok with 1 glass with a meal few months ago and on another occasion 2 glasses. Does anyone else worry about having a glass of wine? Nice readings for you Paul.

Loey
 
6.0 sounds very good to me. 5.7 yesterday and 7 this morning after going to bed with a 13.7. Bs great all day but had a hypo after dinner, prob. Because of heat.

Does heat impact then. Mine was fine when I was indoors but in the evening I finished higher.

It can do - my lows started in the afternoon and into the evening, at which point I probably started over correcting. Heat is just another of those things to monitor to see how it affects you.
 
5.6 this morning which for me is good,normally between 6 to 8

Am on Insulatard 13 units at night & Novorapid 8/9 units in morning, 6 units at lunch and 12 before dinner .

Could anybody advise how to get BG regulary between 5 and ?? Comments would be appreciated :) :)
 
Paul, I don`t know how a hypo feels either as worryingly I had a reading of 2.8 before lunch and I felt no different from when I have readings of 7/8. My readings in the morning are normally around 7/8.

You would need to adjust your insulin Franky to get your levels between 5 and ??, the best people to ask is your diabetes team.

5.3 this morning. Currently I think exercise is the key but I'm sure I'll be proved wrong again shortly!

I think it does Paul as my fasting bg's are far better after exercising the night before than when I don't, only thing you have to be careful with is the potential for hypo's many hours after exercising.
