| | Mine was 60 , so I treated without taking a bolus and I shot up to over 300 within an hour. Treated that with 5u and came down to 80 within 2 hours. Thank God |

| | 90. I had a glass of red wine last night (for the first time) before bed. It seems to have made a small amount of difference.

| | Should I Be Worried?
Mine was 72 this morning. This is the third morning in a row that I have tested in the 70's. I normally have a fbg in the 90's. My initial thoughts were happy ones until my doctor wanted me to discuss the morning lows. I meet with my dietitian and doctor on Monday (09/28) to see if any changes need to be done to my diet. I would welcome any comments on this since I am new to the big D. I do not want to hijack this thread, so please let me know if I have to make a new thread. Thanks.

95 this morning.

| | Mine was 126 today, despite having carefully plotted to reconstruct the scene of yesterday morning when I wakened with 107. This is driving me nuts, and telling myself they're the same within the 20% variance isn't very convincing . . .

| | | Ate dinner late last night and paid for it: 143. But have a loaner Dexcom CGMS for a little while so hope to do some fine-tuning to keep tweak basal and boluses.

| | 118. Not bad considering it was up to 176 last night for some reason, but still not where I want it to be.

Here is how mine have run for the past 3 weeks (Sept 1 thru Today) :
133 -135 -103 -117 -130 -114 -129
136 -122 -123 -116 -140 -125 -119
120 -144 -110 -107 -111 -132 -129
116 -130 -139
When you consider I tested 108 before dinner (5:00 p.m.)
and 103 at 3 hrs PP last night - to bed at 10:00 p. m. with nothing more whatsoever to eat before rising/testing at
4 :30 a. m. a FBG of 139 is not acceptable!
