I have just done my numbers and the meter showed 7.5 and then straight away 5 and then again 8 why is meter doing this it was all in a couple of minutes. Would it just be better to cut carbs out all together.

Meters can give varying numbers one test after another sometimes. Did you wash your hands?

Dislikes
Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
I would wait and see what the numbers are like over several meals or days and go from there.
