BS readings

I'm having a bad day. Can't get out of the 6's.

6.1 fasting
6.7 after breakfast
6.0 before lunch

In fact, it hasn't been a good 7 days. Averages on my Codefree 6.5 all readings, on my Accuchek 6.4 all readings. This is up on normal. It was 6.2 last week


It got even worse. After lunch at 1hr and also at 90 minutes my BS was 8.3, and 7.1 at 2hrs after 2 poached eggs on one toast and some cheese. I have this lunch at least once a week and never even see a 7. The 8.3 was an average, and was also the reading on my Accuchek, so it was probably correct. What's going on?

Just done a random, over 4 hours after lunch with just a decaf and cream about an hour ago. 5.9. First 5 of the day :(
 
5.1 before lunch
Went to the hospital for my pre op assessment one hour later bs 4.2
Three hours later just leaving the Hospital and bs 3.1
Had a tuna sandwich and a cup of tea before driving the 10 miles home bs now at 7.4

Blimey lorrainne deer....how much blood did they take to get your bs that low::))
 
FBG: 4.7
After B: 5.3
Before L: 4.6
After L: 4.7
Before D: 4.7
After D: 5.3 I suspect this number has to do with eating so late at night (at 10:00) which I normally don't do at all, been in the high 4's almost everyday after dinner and before going to bed.

Perhaps you have a lurgy. On Planet Breathe, lurgy has been the in thing.

As our bodies start to awake in the morning, its the livers job to supply energy , so it gives out glucose ,which in our case can send us high
 
Awful morning, never had one like it, and I mean NEVER since started testing. Never seen a rise above 1mmol/l. Today it was 2.2 and still up there.

Fasting 5.6
Breakfast +1hr 7.8
20 minute dog walk
Breakfast +3hrs 7.3

Breakfast was 6 carbs. Yogurt, 35g raspberries, flaxseed. Cup of tea with dash of milk.

Could you ask your GP for a white blood cell count?
