[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2406001, member: 196898"] I was just packing my thoughts away to avoid wearing my brain cells out when I made another related discovery that may also be of interest, although I do not think it is involved in my saga here. Apparently most meters are affected by immunoglobulins. Not hobgoblins but equally mischievous. These are antibodies released by plasma (white cells) in response to a call to arms by our immune system, Apparently, the presence of these in the blood can lead to falsely elevated bgl readings. It seems that meters using the GDH PQQ enzyme technology are most prone to this. and the FDA has issued a safety warning [URL]https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/nursing-and-health-professions/glucose-dehydrogenase[/URL] This may also be of interest [URL]https://www.hpra.ie/docs/default-source/3rd-party-documents/educational-materials/extraneal_hcp_country-specific-monitor-list-ireland_v1-09-15.pdf?sfvrsn=2[/URL] This may explain why people getting the covid vaccination noticed high bgl results for a while, and why people in hospital may struggle to keep their levels in control. I was wondering why my consultant felt that bgl below 13 mmol/l was considered good and why when I clocked 20+ it was not a blue light event for them. [/QUOTE]
