Holy crap! I actually made it through the night doing a basal test!
After yesterday's test, I lowered the 10:30pm basal by a tiny bit, which is why I wanted to test again so soon. This time, the test went perfectly. I was nicely in the 4-9 mmol/L range to start. I hadn't done any activity just before starting the test (honestly, I was more worried about not being able to start the test because I had gone low around 8pm while I was watching a movie). I ate a little after 10pm, and my glucose rose nicely by just under 3 mmol/L 2 hours later. Then it went down about 1.5 mmol/L and stayed right around there until almost 10am. Things are actually looking really good now that I changed that 10:30pm basal!
The one problem that I had was that I slept through my 8am alarm. Someone phoned me around 9:50am which ended up waking me up so I tested then. That left a gap of about four hours that I didn't test in. So I'll have to redo the test to make sure that time frame is okay (I'm concerned that it won't be because last time I rose to over 10 mmol/L around 7:30am after correcting. And I know I didn't over-correct at that time). But that's okay because I want to make sure this wasn't some weird fluke anyway. I won't be doing another test for a few weeks now though because my period is due in a few days and I don't want that to skew the test.
