Basal insulin test query

[saucequery]

Hi

Just wondering if this looks right. I tried a "no carb" lunch of lettuce, cucumber, red pepper, red onion and 2 boiled eggs. My BG was 5.8 (6.1 on my libre - the first "note" on the graph) before eating, 8 an hour later (second "note) and 5.1 (4.4 on my libre) after four hours (last "note"). No unusual activity (spent the afternoon on the sofa), no recent hypos or hypers in the last 24 hours.

Was a bit surprised by the rise in BG, and slightly unnerved by the continuing drop afterwards - does this look "normal" or should I be thinking about reducing my basal abasaglar dose?

Thanks!

Sadly, there is no "normal" in diabetes management. If I did the same test I would get different results to you and if you did the same test several days in row, you may see different results each time too.
I find that eggs can be a bit strange. If I eat say, eggs on toast, then I ignore the eggs and only inject for the carbs in the bread. If I eat eggs on their own or in a salad then I may have to take some insulin.
At what time did you take your Abasaglar?

Thanks for the reply!
I take my abasaglar at 6:30pm, so the last dose was the evening before.
