The low...I just don't know...having done a load of basal testing recently and managed to get my Levemir spot on...I've not changed the dose...went to bed on 6.2...woke up on 2.2...the only thing I can put it down to is that I had an early night last night...took my insulin a tiny bit earlier than normal...I guess this would do it as I probably still had some active insulin in my system ...we live an learn eh.

I worry about the rises over 2 mmol because such rises do harm to the nervous system even short time, its better to stay a little high,say 6-7 mmol rather than experience jumps of more than 2 mmol, you may like to check out dr r bernsteins's 2 nd edition Diabetes explained for a more detailed explanation .all the best to you

7.9. Up again. I blame the small slice of Victoria sandwich I had yesterday. Well, it would be rude to refuse a friends gift. Wouldn't it?
