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

6.2 this morning but was quite a long time after getting up (4am thanks to my little girl). On no sleep made my first Insulin error and had two units instead of one (I know I'm still on very little doses) and had made me feel a bit weird but ignored it as was busy and just checked and was 5.0. Long time till lunch though so snack needed! Pushing the boat out to half a wholewheat rye cracker and some sunflower seeds. :problem:
 
6.6 this morning despite upping my insulin dose. Anyone else seem to be unable to influence fasting BG? If its low when I go to bed it might be low in the morning. If its around 7 when I go to bed nothing will bring it down much for the morning it seems.
 
Well done Paul. Anything you did or a total random? Single figures won't be far away.

Hello Loey! Is that good or bad for virus? I'm told they make it go up but I've not had one yet to see what the impact is.

I'm not sure if it's the Byetta starting to do something or the fact the Byetta makes you feel so full and nauseous that I can't eat hardly anything BUT hey ho,if my BG's are falling then I'm happy! :D
 
6.2 this morning. Had another evening of stubborn highs, so weary of overcorrecting before bed.

Paul, that's a good drop in the right direction :thumbup:

Loey, I hope you feel better soon.
 
TTP, it would be worth doing some tests during the night to see if it's staying level.

If it is, then that's great because your basal is perfect - but you'd need to get it at the right level before bed.

Thanks Robert! :wink:
 
6.7 this morning. It was 6.9 before bed but following suggestion above I checked at 1am and it was 5.0. So not sure if it is going low overnight and then spiking back up? Any thoughts from more experienced Type 1's?
 
7.0 this morning. Increased my units because of viral infection so it's worked. Thank goodness.

Hi TTP, sorry only replying now. Slept a lot yesterday and feel a lot better now. Apparently illness, infections, do raise your BS. Not sure if that happens all the time. Loey
 
5.5 this morning :) Bad day Yesterday....... Started at 22.5!! I think I forgot to take my levemir the night before :( :oops: Managed to get it down to 7.1 before bed last night.

Will have to keep sugars up today. We are trying out a new wormer on the Cattle, injecting into the ear ( Oh the joys!!) The needles are certainly not as fine as mine and they certainly dont keep nice and still..........Wish us luck!!

Lucy.
 
6.1, down from 6.5 at bedtime which is OK I guess.

Nope... wouldn't keep still either if someone injected my ears ;)
