My husband and I didn't get much sleep last night. We made a mistake.
Josh has been going to bed with normal blood sugars but then has been very high around our bedtime three hours later. In our efforts to tweak the basal rates and get to the bottom of this we were testing very frequently last night.
Aaah, but the test is only as valid as the meter is accurate and the hands are clean. Josh had refilled his glucose tablets before bed so he had sugar on a few fingers.
