I'm really new to testing.... Mine was 8.5 before breakfast. Yesterday is was 8.4 before breakfast and then went down to 7.2 2 hours after - is that normal? I'm really confused by this whole thing!!

@DEB260173 for new to testing you are doing brilliantly.
Tomorrow try testing before you get out of bed, way before breakfast consumption. That will give you a more accurate fasting blood glucose level.
Well done. Test as much as you can to give you an idea how things are going. 2hr after meal will tell you a lot. ;)

Rubbish 7.4 was at a friends for dinner last night - great cooking but I snacked on 'low carb' crisps - and too many biscuits with the cheese. Guess it's good to relax once in a while though

Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow :). At the moment it's all just numbers and I'm just trying to be "sensible" but haven't had a lot of guidance or advice!!
