A "more like it" 4.0 for me this morning. My jet lag is pretty much gone, I'm relaxed, but I do still have this viral thing lurking in the background. I can't recall the last time I had Ibuprofen, but I've been taking them to try to keep this at bay. It seems to be working.
I think I'll start a thread for the 44 strips, to try to guage a concensus. My 7 and 14 averages have gone up by a whopping 0.4 and 0.2 respectively, which is, in my view, a material shift for someone as flat-line as me.
Hey ho. There's always a challenge afoot.
Play nicely boys and girls.
Good morning from another beautiful day in Bahrain... The common thread of high readings is very obvious when you check in every day - infections, travel, disruption to daily routine, emotional upsets and, sometimes, eating the wrong food... Should we worry so much about our morning readings - if they're not too extreme, do you think? Mine is 5.8 this morning, which is standard for me if I run around seeing to the animals before I test... the later I eat in the evening, and, it would seem, the more red wine I imbibe, keeps the levels lower - maybe around 4.4.... As long as we establish a sort of 'pattern' of decent readings, and stay generally within that 'pattern', is that good enough? Is the wild fluctuation the problem, if, indeed, problem there is? LouLou has had a terrible time recently, and Allibee, who is still suffering, bless, and their readings became very odd for a while - how much damage does it do in that couple of weeks? I sound like 20 questions, but does anyone know the answers from watching the thread here closely over a couple of years? Sorry for rambling on..
