[QUOTE="Ojustaboo, post: 1842352, member: 460243"] Hi all. I'm a bit confused as to what I'm actually trying to do with regards to testing my blood before and 2hrs after meals. What I have now is a diary that looks like this. 13/7 get up 6.2 no breakfast. 6.5 before lunch, + 2hrs 5.6, 6.0 before dinner, 5.5 +2hrs 14/7 get up 6.7 no breakfast. 6.4 before lunch, + 2hrs 6.0, 6.3 before dinner, 5.6 +2hrs 15/7 get up 6.4 no breakfast. 6.6 before lunch, + 2hrs 5.7, 6.4 before dinner, 5.6 +2hrs 16/7 get up 6.6 no breakfast. 6.2 before lunch, + 2hrs 6.1, 5.8 before dinner, 6.7 +2hrs 17/7 get up 7.7 before breakfast. 6.8 +2hrs, 6.2 before lunch, + 2hrs 5.5, 6.0 before dinner, 5.9 +2hrs 18/7 get up 6.7 before breakfast 6.7 +2hrs, 5.7 before lunch, + 2hrs 5.8, 6.0 before dinner, 5.6 +2hrs 19/7 get up 6.5 before breakfast (forgot to measure after) . 6.3 before lunch, + 2hrs 5.8, 5.8 before dinner, 6.0 +2hrs Unfortunately, 3 days I had to go out and forgot to take kit with me, hence only have readings for when I got up and my evening meal 20/7 get up 6.3, 6.0 before dinner, 5.8 +2hrs 21/7 get up 7.2, 5.6 before dinner, 5.5 +2hrs 22/7 get up 6.8, 5.5 before dinner, 5.6 +2hrs 23/7 get up 7.5 before breakfast 7.0 + 2hrs, forgot to do before lunch, + 2hrs 5.8 17th when it came back at 7.7 I did another test and that was 7.5 so the reading was correct. First 3 days I had identical meals, just changing the meats Last 8 days I had identical meals, just changing the meats (except no breakfast on 16th). I probably need some sort of software or spreadsheet to enter it in along with what I actually ate I'm happy to check my blood. Moneys very tight and strips aren't cheap (for me), but just keeping a diary seems kind of pointless, unless I know what I should be looking out for and what I should be doing in those situations? Many thanks [/QUOTE]
