4.3 this morning.

Last night tested blood quite bizarre readingsView attachment 51939

so not quite sure of anything now.

Looks like a faulty sensor, did you do a blood test?

An improved 7.3. After slightly increased carb intake yesterday, a lie in this morning, and a late cup of decaff with coconut milk last night. Only thing I did differently yesterday, apart from fitting in an extra walk in the middle of the day.

That was a sensor reading bracketed by two blood tests when tested this morning both sensor and blood test agreed almost exactly.

I tested my blood with a test strip in the reader as blood glucose meter and got LO then scanned the sensor then used another test strip and got LO again unfortunately was out of test strips for my other meters.

Edit to add.

These are the test strips I used.

8.7 - The Hateful Eights. This isn’t Carbs. Lousy sleeping patterns.

I know that feeling

 

[mojo37]

7.1 yesterday ( only 3 hrs sleep and on an early shift ) today 7.2 with a good sleep so who knows what's what but at least I had 8 hrs sleep woohoo

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Good morning
Larry says 5.8 on my phone
5.3 on my reader
Glucose monitor says 5.4
Have a good weekend everyone

 

[karen8967]

5.5 for me

 

[Estragon]

I know that feeling

Yeah…. Once I loose control, the Stern of this Oil Tanker jerks, wanders and waggles from Port<>Starboard in a most life draining way. Yes, sure it’s depressing, but gives further evidence to the subtleties and vicissitudes of this head banging disease/condition. For me, now only three years into my “Frontiersman” attitude to the compression of Numbers to each Border, and remembering just how scary and daunting I felt back then, I can totally sympathise with Newbies starting this whole fandanglement for themselves.

Oh yeah, this morning 8.4 - bleah….

 

[DJC3]

Morning all 5.9 today

 

[garyclark82]

5.5 this morning, dropping like a stone compared to the last few weeks.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.6 but an hour later than normal. Blah blah. blah.
Happy Saturday everyone.
