What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Sat 25th. 4.3 today, my lowest reading in over 4 months :)

woke up in bed at 2.30am sweating, rose to check did I leave the heating on,was unsteady, head throbing, feeling decidedly unwell then I slowly realised this must be my first hypo, SCARY!!!, blood sugar tested at 3.5, had three glucose tabs and it all cleared up within 15 mins
:eek:
 
Fasting this morning was 7.0. Lower each morning I test
 
Mine was 14.9 after hitting 17.6 yesterday. Saw the specialist diabetic nurse yesterday at my Health Centre.
Took my Metformin plus new Livagliptin prescribed yesterday and checked it again 3 hours later ... 21.3 and Panic Stations ! ! !
But 37 minutes later it was 16.9
I was suspicious about all this and found another meter kit. This recorded 12.9 just 8 minutes after my 16.9 reading.
Checked again at 6pm with both meters. One said 8.9, the other 11.1 !
I'm beginning to seriously doubt the accuracy of these blood glucose meters.
