This morning I have a real out-lyer at 5.3, then 5.1, then 4.9. My last readings in the 5s at all were post-dinners about 6 weeks ago. It's more an irritation than a concern.
Last night I had a trusted meal, with largely expected results, and this morning is just a step up from there. A few things come to mind:
- a poor night of interrupted sleep (no discernible reason)
- got up about an hour later than normal (not usually an issue for me. Any liver action usually only takes me to the mid 4s)
- using my back-up meter, which runs a smidge higher than my usual one. I'll be on this meter for a couple of weeks, as I have a couple of boxes of strips coming up to their expiry dates)
I'm not going to do lots of parallel checking as that's just a waste of money, in this case. I'm more interested in trends and spikes than the specifics. Whatever the cause, it's a shrug shoulders and move on moment. I'll keep an eye on things, as you might expect.
