Thanks. I follow a very strict adherence to my way of eating, I suppose that getting good results provides the interest and motivation. I am now testing out a plan with 14 grams carbs, 56 grams protein and 155 grams oils/fats. Today was the second day.
 
6.2 at 06.30 hrs which was a major relief as I had some really odd odd readings the previous night during the day it was running in the low 6's mid evening 6.8, then just before bed it jumped to 9.8 as there was no obvious reason I took another sample 10.2 and another 9.2, drank 1/2 ltr of water and 30minutes later it was 6.8. Why the sudden spike and sudden fall I will never figure out of course it could have bee three rogue test strips but the odds against three in a row from 50 are pretty high.

I envy your self control :-)
 
On the up - slept late and fasting was 8.1 at just after 11am. So am assuming a nice big fat liver dump.

My pre meal tests for the most part have gone down from months of highish 6-7s to high 5s and mid 6s but everything seems to be quite erratic now. I just can't win! :eek:

There are a few possibilities:
What you ate had an unexpected, "unfriendly" ingredient
You dropped low, maybe after a pretty low carb meal, and your liver dumped some glucose to help you out
Your hands were "contaminated", thus influencing the read. Did you wash between the rogue readings?

Then of course, it could be just one of those diabetes curved balls we just have to record and move on from. It's only a concern if it becomes a trend.
 
Day29 ND 4.6 Rain stopped, overcast but not downcast today. 8km walk/run, and some satisfying weed-pulling, so easy after rain. At the halfway point, ND-wise, with HbA1c tomorrow. Almost confident.
