Going from a 7 to a 4 reading (approximised) and vice versa in a type 1 could be quite significant for a type 1 though (only writing from a type 1 experience).

Me personally as a type 1 have experienced large swings (prior to pump that I can adjust better) in my blood levels for heat....unfortunately mine always dipped significantly.......

Interesting to read that that type 2's can go higher, as mine as a type 1 always dipped significantly too much-the worst being last July when I almost lost my licence!!!

It is 29 degrees here and I just got my lowest ever pre dinner reading on the Meter I'm using at the moment checked 3 times.

Diabetes, cirrhosis, lymphoma, acronyms, green celery (because it's lazy), those computer programs that nag you night after night to download them and then, when you do, present reams of conditions and threats for you to accept before they'll run. DVDs that start with 5 minutes of threats - if I'd pirated it, then I'd surely leave those out.
Not just blood sugar, my blood pressure and heart rate are steadily climbing..
