[QUOTE="derry60, post: 1643639, member: 407978"] Must admit I do not test first thing in the morning now as that seems pretty steady 5.4 to 5.6 I quite often only have one meal a day and on those days I test within two hours after a meal. If I do have lunch I test after I have eaten. So once or twice now, sometimes before just before bed. I do not really go out of the circle of what I eat and have tested those things, and no sugar spike. If I go out for a meal I will test after that,or if I were to have anything different I would test after that also. One thing that I have learned and that is not to test straight after doing housework say within a minute of sitting down because it will always be higher. When I sit down for even just 5 mins it can be 4 points lower. Even three mins of sitting first [/QUOTE]
