I must have had a REALLY big LD. After a waking of 7.5, 2 hours later up to 9.9 .... hated that so off I went for a 20 minute walk straight after that reading. Just retested and back to 8.1 .... a 1.8 drop in 20 minutes

This was too subtle for me.Neil, it's the flight that never came to pass as the last mission to the moon was Apollo 17 in DEC 1972
Hi Mike I had a bit of an experience the other day like this, but not sure I wasn't
getting spurious numbers because it really made a difference when II washed my hands before testing. Don't get too stressed because that will also raise your numbers. Maybe rather than any more exrcise just a calm few moments relaxing may bring them down. If your body needs glucose then your liver will release it so if you over exercise you can have the opposite effect so I understand it.

Is this a weird coincidence or what ? When I started talking about Apollo it was still the 19th Dec here and guess what Apollo 17 ended it's mission on the 19th December 1972. Spooky lol
Hi, When you see the numbers 7.5 on waking and then a 9.0 that in itself creates the stress, doesn't it? or you would not be off walking trying to get these numbers down. Anyway I presume the thoughts of commanding Appolo 18 will be relieving the stress & relaxing you now.Yep, gotcha Neil. As I previously posted, I had a REALLY shocking nite with sweats, trembles etc etc and little sleep. So the 7.5 on waking was no surprise but the 9.9 sure was. I felt no stress at all (for a change) so that number shocked me. But true to form (and in my case it is conclusive beyond doubt) the exercise dropped it back big time. In my own mind i knew it would as I have the figures / history to back it up, but even so, falling by 1.8 in such a short space of time amazed me. The 9.9 was maybe not all that surprising on reflection given the big (7.5) start to the day and the fact that the a.m. figures are always my worst.
