Hello, Community, me again with another question (sorry!).
I've had 3 readings that I can't quite understand, and they've been different according to which meter I've used. Hoping you can help me unpick them:
Friday, fasting BG (8am)
108/6.0 (Codefree)
Friday immediately after an ice-cream (itself after a low carb dinner) 8:30pm:
Codefree: 6.5
Areo: 6.6
Saturday, 12:30am (4 hours after ice cream)
Glucomen Areo: 5.0
CodeFree: 101 / 5.6
Saturday 7am (Almost 11 hours fasting)
Areo: 6.2
CodeFree: 119 / 6.6
What am I missing here? Why has my fasting number increased? Why didn't that ice-cream hit my BG like a train? And why are my meters testing inconsistently, from .1 to .6 difference?
While I know they're all good numbers - under 7 - I don't understand why they seem to be so all over the place and out of order. Anything you have in terms of insight will be gratefully received.
Notes:
- A third meter is on its way. Hopefully it will agree with one of the two and then I'll know which meter is reading inaccurately. I don't want to just guess
- All Codefree results (I brilliantly ordered the US standard units model...) have been converted using this page:
