Thats a tad on the low side surely.?



Too low to be driving? absolutely. Too low to be waking up to? No not at all. At least not for me. For some time I had some issues with 'Dawn Effect' - I tried a number of ways to beat it most of which proved futile. Somebody suggested a glass of red wine before bed. Alas I am weak and cannot drink wine by the single glass. In any case it didn't work. Somebody suggested cheese. My house got infested with mice and that didn't work either. Nor did a multitude of other crackpot schemes. Mine however works very well. It is however a solution that I think most type 1's would not consider workable for them. It does however give me results with which I am comfortable and my doctor just loves my HbA1c results.
 
7.8 today. Not very happy about it. I'm sure it'll come down.


This may be higher than you possibly might like but by no means is it 'silly high' I think you are absolutely correct and of course it will come down. Being unhappy about it is of course perfectly natural but will just give you a miserable time of it.
 
good morning all

4.5 today

looks like a bright morning so far here in the North.
Clear sky. First for weeks. Frosty morning thou.
Won't be enjoying it unless i go back to bed after disturbed night with 4yr old.

Enjoy the bright day.
 
Good morning guys was a 5.0 for me at 7am and todays the day I see the consultant, really hoping he can help me see things clearer and push things through with the psychologist etc, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me please! LOL x
