Hi Viv0147,

First you need to make sure you hands are freshly washed & secondly I think it the portion size. 10 Blackberries or 10 blueberries but not both. I have berries on a morning with Yogurt but I would say it's more like 7/8.

You need to be testing just before eating at 1hr and at 2hr. And what you eat you are trying for the number not to rise more than 2mmol/l, Hope this helps.

6.2 fasting... Sinus infection still driving numbers up...
 
Susikav, sorry to hear you have a sinus infection, horrid. Hope you feel better soon.

6.7 today, lowest ever reading for fasting test!
 
6.5 mmol / L this morning.
7.2 mmol / L at bed time.
Not too bad considering not enough sleep was had - none of which was before midnight.
 
5.2 love the lighter mornings, songbirds really going for it, nice tunes to wake up to.

Have a super day everyone.
