I'm too tired and too frustrated tonight to get up.

But I have to.

I'll repay you with breakfast, low carb or otherwise!

I'm on my way :-) Lancet sharpened ! Spring loaded highest level :-)
 
No amount of persuasion would keep me away from my bed tonight.

Enjoy the 2am test hale :banghead:
 
I don't DO broken sleep.
Expect a grumpy and stroppy hale this morning.

Half sleep deprived, half because my honeymoon has ended. Exactly 1 week before my pump assessment, meaning I've lost my main "insulin sensitivity argument"

$!£@ !

train the other half to do it.

He wouldn't even need to wake you up.

Seriously though, I showed the wife how to use my test kit "just in case"
 
He knows how, he likes to test his own BG sometimes as type 2 is in his family. By my estimations he'll job the club soon too if he doesn't get his act together!

He wouldn't wake to the alarm though. He has no idea it's happened the next day when I've gotten up, had lights on and wandering around in the middle of the night!

I'm assuming they'll be looking at my BG diary or downloading from my monitor. It's pretty clear from there I'm having an issue the last few days. Doubled my insulin at breakfast!

I have never done my own tests .. The wife takes care of all that .. All I do is eat what's given me and provide blood on a regular basis.. LoL

Oops sorry I am T2 not T1 .. But would still be organised by the wife whatever I was

Hope you get sorted soon

Not so simple as that! I go to work, he can't test me here. Legal requirement to test before getting behind the wheel, what if he's not around?!?

We'd have to be joined at the hip. I'd have to quit work...... Now there's an idea ;)

LOL…I have been able to turn off my midnight alarms without waking up…that is how much I like my sleep….I used to have to leave it the other side of the room so I had to get out of bed and move some distance to stop the noise!
 
I'm way overdue for a 3am test. Odd thing is I usually get up at 3 anyway to go for a pee, but I don't think I'm quite awake because I just can't seem to get motivated for a test. :-/

Be careful where you stick that lancet :-)
 
I'm up and at it again. Ducking Fiabetes!

I've doubled basal this last week but it's had little effect on BG. Go to bed around 8, by 2.30 I'm up at 15/16 so take a correction.

I'm still 15/16 when I wake at 6.30.. Takes me until late afternoon to bring it down again with corrections

Every inch of me wants to boost that basal to 9 or 10 because I know it's probably needed. But I'll continue my slow and steady 0.5u raise per day until I get the right level.

Gunna be a zombie tomorrow!
