[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1503791, member: 400972"] I was told that fasting numbers were the last to stabilise, that was certainly the case with mine. Mine are regulary in the 5s now. The unexpectedly high levels are called Dawn Phenomenon, something that happens in non diabetics too. It's your body preparing for the activities of the day by having your liver dump glucose into your bloodstream. It's sometimes called Liver Dump. As for your meters reading differently they are allowed a variation of so many percent. Someone will come along with the exact percentage I'm sure. I can't remember it just now. Best times to check levels are immediately before you eat then 2 hours after that first reading. You're looking for a rise of less than 2 mmols/liter to test if a meal/food is suitable for you. Oh and I have an SD Code Free. Have a look at the instructions, you can change it to mmols/liter in the settings. [/QUOTE]
