Definitely not a bad idea . . . but one of the things we tend to share in the regular daily chat thread . . . but I'll leave this here and see if the idea catches on.

As mentioned in that chat thread, mine has been dreadful in the morning lately and was 8.1 (146) when I got up this morning. Yuck. Really beginning to think I'm still going hypo in the middle of the night even though I no longer have the insulin shots to contend with.

Well . . . I've been up since 4 am . . . and think I've unravelled the mystery . . . at 4:15 this morning my BGL was 4.6 (83). Obviously nothing wrong with that, but if I'd gone back to bed and slept for another 3 hours, I bet it would have bottomed out and then been high again (I know, just the liver doing it's job too well as usual ).

So now my day is all out of balance -- it's only 6:45 and I've already had breakfast. Anyway . . . guess I'll go back to bed for a bit.

6:45 am ... 129

Well I think that the reason I am up a bit is because I got up around 1am and grab some peanut butter instead of a drink of water ... so it's ok I guess so I will be back later today !!

... for you Linda good reading for you !!

I haven't seen above 88 for a long time. However I do get up at 4:00am and a few hours later, I feel horrible.

Spent the day on the go -- running around trying to catch up with some errands while we have this little lull between blizzards.

Slept in until eight and saw a 6.8 (122). Forgot to stop for lunch until 3 PM and by then I know I had a rebound from a hypo and ended up at 8.9 (160) -- my own stupid fault.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better . . .

My fasting BG is always 120-125. I'm on Metformin, 500mg 2 x daily. I've tried late snacks but that seems to have no effect. I've been wondering if increasing my Metformin to 3 x daily would help that, but I haven't had a chance to ask my doc yet.

Any thoughts?

I don't know . . . I've got a similar problem . . . used to be quite low in the mornings, sometimes much too low, but since I stopped shooting insulin, I seem to have completely turned around and I'm higher in the am and then taper off toward evening. Think I'm still going a little hypo and then rebounding but not with the drastic sweeping bounces I used to take.

I was 6.8 (122) this morning -- haven't checked recently, but I'd be willing to bet I'll be in the low 5's (below 100) before bedtime again.

Love microwave popcorn . . . those 100 calorie bags are great.

BGL this morning was a wonderful 4.9 (88). It was 11 (198) when I finally went to bed last night. Think that might be the secret. Either that or I hve to set the alarm for early in the morning to get a good BGL reading -- kind of nuts to hve to do that when you are an old retired type like me.
